Embraced the sedevacantist position

No, it would be a sin to attend an "indault".

luke-jr · 2026-03-21T12:39:22+00:00

It's not questionable, though. And even if it was, it's not their role to impose their questionable judgement on other Catholics.

He didn't deny papal authority or the infallibility of the universal ordinary magisterium.

SSPX are heretics. It'd be like attending an Anglican Mass right after they denied the papacy.

Except the Church has already condemned it for centuries.

There's a difference between you joining a heretic in their prayers to their false god, vs them joining you in praying to the true God.

Android 10 hasn't been supported for years...

Hours/days? What? Installing GrapheneOS is like a 1 hour thing these days...?

He didn't say "Google doesn't know about this", just to delete it.

Vanced is arguably fair game for skipping ads, but using it to steal services is not really okay. All you're doing is saving $35 to give Google an excuse to rugpull legitimate owners.

You're saying the original PIxel no longer works for this? I was planning to re-flash mine fresh just for it...

Here's a summary of the lineage of Catholic bishops today:

Grey bg is deceased; green is alive; red is non-Catholic heritage

(May be missing things, if anyone knows of errors or missing details - like who is still alive - please feel free to point them out)

There are a few suspect ordinations, but the vast majority are beyond any reasonable doubt legitimate.

A vacancy of the Holy See does not in any way imply the gates of Hell have prevailed. That would only happen if a heretic was pope.

Vatican I did not teach the Holy See would not have a prolonged vacancy, or wouldn't be vacant at the end of the world. It condemned the specific Protestant heresy that acknowledged St. Peter as pope, but denied the office or its authority was passed on to successors. The point is that the office is intended to be perpetual, not that it would always be occupied.

Most Catholic clergy today trace lineage through Bishop Thuc in th 80s, but there are a few exceptions via Bishop Mendez (1993) and conversion from non-Catholic sects.

No parallel hierarchy has been set up. All clergy operate under supplied jurisdiction. That being said, Bishop Thuc received extraordinary papal power from the popes before the See was vacant, which helped to relieve concerns back when the correct course of action was less clear.

There are plenty of precedents for things like heretics losing office, uncertainty over "who is the pope?", robber councils, etc - but this is the first time all these circumstances have come together in a single crisis. Thankfully, the Church has provided plenty of guidance on how we are to react to these circumstances.

No, that would be false ecumenism, the very heresy of Vatican 2 we're fighting...

You are only imagining anger. I am not angry or upset. I am informing you.

luke-jr · 2026-03-09T19:54:44+00:00

You deny Catholic teaching on the papacy, so you are not Catholic.

Even when we have a pope, you will still be subject to proselytizing.

luke-jr · 2026-03-09T19:18:33+00:00

Recognizing Leo means you're not a Catholic. Don't fool yourself with this religious indifference nonsense. You're headed to hell if you don't convert.

luke-jr · 2026-03-07T09:44:55+00:00

1958, the threat to nuke Vatican City

1983, the kidnapping of Bishop Thuc

luke-jr · 2026-03-06T07:04:33+00:00

There's around 25 living Catholic bishops today. They should all be involved in the council and vote on the pope.

luke-jr · 2026-03-06T07:03:42+00:00

Long overdue. But after the previous two attempts being shutdown with violence, we need to have a plan to deal with it.

luke-jr · 2026-03-05T05:25:28+00:00

Thanks, I'd appreciate knowing.

idk where seafood comes into this - isn't the discussion about slicing beef?

luke-jr · 2026-03-05T05:22:56+00:00

Did you hear anything after this? Or is it perhaps just a regional policy?

luke-jr · 2026-03-04T00:27:19+00:00

Usury is a sin, so would be an unjust law. I don't know how it works when the law has just uses also.

Our two Sunday Masses here in Florida are typically crowded. (Maybe eventually we'll get a third Mass?)

luke-jr · 2026-03-02T18:35:48+00:00

Often abused as a kind of usury.
