Thanks Erik. Before reading them, please could you advise the role and extent AI played in your writing of these essays?

It was a simple question. Do you decline to answer it?

Thanks Erik. Your refusal to confirm how and to what extent AI was used in your writing – it would be very simple to just say "for proofreading", or "to tighten up style" or something – gives the impression of being a charlatan.

Given the tendency of AI to hallucinate authorities and pass them off as authentic, I wouldn't be able to trust any of your references, and so would have to go and check them all myself. I've had to do this before for others who have generated their work with AI. I'm not doing it for you.

I'm not going to spend time reading or engaging with something that you won't confirm that you have spent time writing.

Hoping that many more traditionalists will see the light and leave the synodal abomination for the Faith of our Fathers.

Deo gratias!

They are very careful not to use the words "Sedevacantism". I hope they are there yet. May God bless them

A friend in the community has told me they have taken a sedeprivationist position, not sedevacantist

Ugomaria Pablo's avatar

I will take what I can get. That's good enough, as long as they celebrate Mass, non Una Cum.

Deo gratias

They've previously held that position, but it is implied if they state that it isn't the Catholic Church.

I am so happy for them; congratulations Transalpine Redemptorists!!!

Now they have to get their priests re-ordained.

Martin Fegan's avatar

Yes.. That's the blessing the faithful can truly benefit from knowing their priests are truly priests.

Elaine Johnson's avatar

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!! God bless you! Thank you!!! Praying a Holy Hour for you tonight !!!

I don't know whether it's ironic or fitting that the diocese that is expelling them is called Christchurch. Perhaps a bit of both.

I pray that their list of denunciations will grow to include all the documents of the Robber Council of Vatican II, as their current list of denunciations are all merely the fruit of that poisonous tree.

I found it quite interesting that the Vatican referred to the Latin Mass communities as the “Ecclesia Dei”

Sean Johnson's avatar

The words come from JPII’s “Ecclesia Dei Adflicta,” which declared +Lefebvre, +de Mayer, and the four consecrated bishops excommunicated.

90 days later, the FSSP was born (the fastest a community had ever been approved in Church history), to act as a parasitical competitor, and keep trad-leaning Catholics corralled within conciliar pastures.

Live Life Not Behind Glass's avatar

I know but, still, called the latin mass groups the “Ecclesia Dei”

Does this make them the newest Sede community?

Appreciation and blessings from Sydney Aus.

Statesments like this seem to necessitate a return to at least the Society position, if not further. I cannot comprehend why they reconciled in 2012, did they thing Benedict was actually some traditionalist pope or were they just tired if the fight?

S.D. Wright's avatar

I'm not sure I've seen a statement like this from the Society in quite a while.

S.D. Wright's avatar

Also our mistake. It was 2008. In 2012 they received canonical recognition.

Marcel A Wid's avatar

Would that every former Ecclesia Dei group, convent, monastery, priest, and bishop declare the same truths so clearly!

Jeron Smith's avatar

I am absolutely *thrilled* with this! Finally! Someone with authority is standing up to defend Tradition. May more prelates and priests find the courage to do the same.

Laudetur Iesus Christus! Semper laudetur!

... and they esperiment the REFORMED Roman Catholic Church from inside.

The conciliar AGGIORNAMENTO went so far that now they feel Lost.

Viva Maria Immacolate.

This is a beautiful declaration of truth and fidelity to Christ

Michael Dunne's avatar

My heart rests with you!!

Hopefully, the SSPX is taking note.
