just so y’all understand that the #SSPX is basically a #fascist cult, without Lefebvre there would have, most likely, never been a Jean-Marie Le Pen or a National Front in #France

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_surrounding_the_Society_of_Saint_Pius_Xthe SSPX was #MAGA #evangelical #christofascist before it was cool. you've never heard of them because they hate evangelicals, christofascists or otherwise.

in this editorial, the #Vatican’s media people explain more pointedly the issue with Lefebvreites:
❝ …it has nothing to do with the Mass in the preconciliar rite — mistakenly called the “Latin Mass” — since the faithful attached to that liturgical form are still permitted to celebrate it in full communion with Peter […] there is no room for judging the Pope and disobeying him by carrying out acts that tear the unity of …the Church
The pain of a rupture

there are no fears of a Catholic schism: this sect was #PopeRat’s fuck you to #VaticanoII when he decided to “unexcommunicate” them.
#PopeFrancis gave them a pass but defunded them whilst busy appointing the most bishops and cardinals in the history of the Catholic church.
#PopeLeoXIV just told them last week their ass is grass if they went ahead with this #MAGA fuckery.

so it looks like Pope Bob named the Sister Boniface of #economics to the Vatican’s highest dicastery (ministry-like department).

#SSPX, the face of #MAGA catholics, shouldve been excommunicated a long time ago, but were protected by Popes Nazi and Rat.
Pope Francis set the stage for Pope Leo’s #excommunication warning: he defunded them and set a review process for the whole order:
❝…they refuse to accept certain fundamental elements of the church, beginning with various points of the Second Vatican Council. And if they make those choices, I am sorry. But we must move forward.” ❞

ATTENTION EX-CATHOLIC ATHEISTS
once baptized, you’re catholic. if you took communion and/or took your confirmation vows, you are ―for all intents and purposes― a (lapsed) catholic.
excommunication is, technically, the only way out of catholicism.
would be interesting to test title VII from a secular catholicism point of view.

🗣 LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!
❝ Too many in our world refuse to acknowledge what both science and the Church plainly teach,” he said, “that we bear a solemn responsibility for the stewardship of our planet and for the welfare of those who dwell upon it, especially the most vulnerable, whose lives are imperilled by the reckless exploitation of both people and the natural world.” ❞

❝ the former Cardinal Robert Prevost… called his bank to give his new phone number and information. He went through a series of security questions only to find out from the customer service agent that the bank would not make the change unless he were to come to the bank… he said "that's going to be difficult" because he was living "out of town" and he just couldn't get there… 'Well, would it matter if I tell you I'm Pope Leo?' And she hung up on him.❞

as #MAGA #GOP #Republican criminals look to reinstate the federal death penalty ―with the nazi barbarism of firing squads, electrocution and gas asphyxiation―, #PopeLeoXIV took to the cameras to commemorate the #abolition of the #deathPenalty in his place of birth, Illinois.
Pope Southside wasted no time calling out right to lifers who cheerlead the death penalty: it goes against Christ’s teachings and RCC doctrine. it’s inadmissible, therefore, a sin.

what’s the Anglican equivalent to #popewatching, #canterburytailing?
am not a sociologist, but it’s fascinating that just after the queen dies, a woman is elected archbishop of Canterbury. not just any bishop or dame, but a former #NHS nurse and midwife.
so it’s pretty huge #PopeLeoXIV will host Archbishop Sarah Mullally, who is stopping at Rome as part of her first pilgrimage as archbishop.
Monday will be historic, with a woman archbishop standing side-by-side with da Pope in the vatican.

DaPope doesn’t have to excommunicate Sean Hannity anymore because he’s EXCOMMUNIMAXXING, now with turboblasphemy and 1000% more heresy.
PS: who knew #PopeLeoXIV, the incognegro formerly known as Robert Prevost, would make #popewatching so much fun. for once there is a dude in the Vatican ready to brawl with genocidal gringos hiding behind the cross.
