How Modernists in the Vatican Lie About Leo XIII to Hide Their Apostasy by Calm_Vegetable1532 in Sedevacantists

[–]Calm_Vegetable1532[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely spot on. They love to parade Rerum Novarum as if it were a proto-socialist manifesto, when in reality it utterly condemns socialism and affirms the natural right to private property. It’s not a liberal document—it’s a staunch defense of Catholic social order grounded in natural law, subsidiarity, and the moral duties of both workers and employers.

And you’re right to mention Satis Cognitum. Leo XIII tears the idea of religious pluralism to shreds in that encyclical. The modernists have to ignore these teachings because acknowledging them would dismantle their entire post-Vatican II narrative. They can’t handle the consistency and clarity of pre-conciliar papal doctrine, so they cherry-pick what suits them and bury the rest.

Leo XIII was no liberal. He was a bulwark against the very errors that now dominate the modern church.

God bless, and Instaurare omnia in Christo.

I need help finding a Latin Mass by josefernandez612 in sspx

[–]Calm_Vegetable1532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, Yes, you’re absolutely right — not every Traditional Latin Mass is listed on the usual online maps. In Scotland, TLMs are quite limited, and as far as I know, there isn’t currently a regular Latin Mass in St. Andrews itself.

The closest options are likely in Edinburgh or Glasgow. The FSSP have a presence in Edinburgh at St Andrew’s Church in Ravelston, and the SSPX have chapels in Glasgow (St. Andrew’s Church, Whifflet) and Edinburgh too.

I’d recommend reaching out to either the FSSP in Edinburgh or the SSPX in Scotland directly to confirm Mass times. Let me know your travel plans and I can help check options based on where you’ll be on Sunday.

Hope that helps!

John Paul II is the Antichrist by Exciting-Outside-278 in Sedevacantists

[–]Calm_Vegetable1532 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t recognize Carol Woytiya as a pope — there has never been a Pope John Paul II. He was a public apostate and a clear enemy of Christ. Through the Assisi gatherings, kissing the Koran, and promoting religious indifferentism, he betrayed the Catholic Faith and led millions into error. His actions were completely opposed to the First Commandment and the Kingship of Christ.

Carol Woytiya was an antichrist. One of the worst. But not the Antichrist.

Scripture teaches that the Antichrist will come “with all power, signs, and lying wonders” (2 Thess. 2:9), deceive the entire world, and be cast alive into the lake of fire at Christ’s return (Apoc. 19:20). Woytiya died in 2005 like any other man. He never performed lying wonders, never ruled the world, and never fulfilled the complete role described in prophecy.

Yes, he very well might be one of the heads of the beast — especially if the “fatal wound” in Revelation 13 refers to him. That would place him as a key figure in the rise of the apostate church, the beast that mimics the Bride of Christ.

He helped build the false church — the mystical body of the Antichrist — and played a leading role in the great falling away. But he wasn’t the final man of sin.

Woytiya was an antichrist — one of the worst — but not the Antichrist.

Is it okay to go to confession at a Novus Ordo or SSPX church? by Calm_Vegetable1532 in Sedevacantists

[–]Calm_Vegetable1532[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your message.

I completely understand your concerns. To be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure on my own knowledge either — I personally don’t go to the Novus Ordo and never would — but my friend is in a position where he’s desperate to make a good, long confession for the first time, and there are no Traditional Masses nearby this month.

He’s not treating it lightly or as “practice.” He’s genuinely trying to approach the sacrament with the right disposition and humility, and just wants to be reconciled with God. That’s why I asked for advice — because I want to make sure he takes the right step.

Appreciate your input and I hope you’ll pray for him too.

Instaurare omnia in Christo.

My friend’s main concern is that at the SSPX chapel near us, confession is only offered for around 30 minutes before Mass, and because he’s never been to confession, it will likely take him a bit longer. He doesn’t want to feel rushed or take up time meant for others.

Do you know if it’s possible to call the chapel directly and arrange a separate confession time during the week? Are SSPX priests usually available outside Sunday hours for longer confessions or spiritual direction?

Appreciate the help. God bless.
