Francis, by his war on the traditional Mass, and his ceaseless attempts to transform the Church into a Leftist NGO, made this schism inevitable. Pope Bob, with his seventies Spirit of Vatican II formation, is in way, way over his head.

i don’t think Pope Bob is actually running things, but men promoting this “new thing” can’t stand-the-sight of tradition….
dare it be said.. Holy Tradition.
Not sure a heretic can excommunicate anybody. See this interesting essay. It’s a bit long but stay with it to the end.

These guys are sedevacantists, and I’m not. But they do make sense in some ways.
When I read that statement yesterday, all I could think was “He’s trolling them! ¡Lio! wants the SSPX in schism, and he knows that bringing up Bernardin’s seamless garment just might do the trick!”
We have a massive sodomy problem in the church, yet our Pope’s main priority is cracking down on the SSPX. I suspect this latest bonehead move will backfire on Leo & Co. in a big way.
This isn’t a Bernardin phrase. It’s been used traditionally as an image of Church unity.
Yes, of course … Especially in bastions of Traditionalism like Chicago …

Pope Leo XIV is pastoral to all but Catholics.
The seamless garment ignores the fact and truth that Jesus died for us and the millstone about the neck in the depts of the sea. More on the death penalty, the temporal punishment here and now; capital punishment by Caesar. God created Caesar and government instituted by the people; self government.
Separation of church and state is normal and good. Separation of church and state is firstly, a personal love relationship with God as religion; secondly a personal love relationship with our neighbor as we love and better than we love ourself in learning how to love.
…and the black woman read Isaiah….
Pope Leo XIV did not repair the damage done by Francis. Leo left the Immaculate Conception priests and sisters in limbo as a warning to all to follow or else. Please pray for the Lavender Mafia as they need prayers the most.
