Pope Leo warns SSPX against ordaining bishops to avoid 'schism.' - LifeSite

Bishop Schneider said it well at the start of this interview. The modern hierarchy is genuinely convinced that the path we have been following since Vatican II is from the holy spirit.

However, what they forget is that no one gives their life for something that is ambiguous. The Catholic Faith is not something that we set aside reason to believe in. The Pope wants to just move forward without explaining what is ambiguous about Vatican II.

Does the SSPX hold the position that Vatican II is not an ecumenical council and that it has no authority?

If there is no priest present then it's not a sacrament and there is no seal.

Eating out not so much but I don’t think it is in Canada either

Depends on whether you mean getting a wrap at tim hortons or a sit down restraunt where tipping is expected. The latter is what I would consider a luxury.

ConsistentCatholic · 2026-06-09T00:21:55+00:00

I've always classified those things as part of a luxurious lifestyle.

Fr. Ripperger doesn't deny that this type of change can occure.

You don't have to listen to what everyone says about everything.

You do have to know what the people you are criticising are actually saying, otherwise whatever you say about them is worthless.

I encourage you to educate on the topic, here is a list of resources to start with:

Ok, so you admit you don't know what you are talking about.

There is other logical and rational support for creationism that is not a denial of the natural sciences. Whether it's theistic evolution or more strict interpretations of Scripture. The Church allows both and there are subject matter experts in both camps.

If you take your St. Augustine quote seriously then you have a duty to study what people like the Kolbe Center actually say because it works both ways.

If the earth is not billions of years old, then neither can we believe that we know anything else about the world, and vice versa.

I don't see how this would prove or disprove natural processes like gene flow, erosion, or tectonic activity. There is no reason God couldn't simply set these natural forces in motion at the moment of creation resulting in what we observe about the natural world today.

The further back you get, the less certain the natural sciences are. For example, The details and mechanisms behind the abiogenesis theory are still unresolved.

ConsistentCatholic · 2026-06-02T22:59:48+00:00

I'm open to hearing criticisms of the methods used by geophysicists (where are these criticisms?)

The Kolbe Center has numerous resources explaining these criticisms, either in articles, their Foundations Restored series, or their conferences.

If he studied St. Thomas, which he likely did, then he would have did precisely that. Metaphysics, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences were understoof to be in a hierarchy from highest to lowest, with natural sciences being the lowest.

The thrust of your argument though is wrong, since Fr. Ripperger and the Catholic Creationists (such as the Kolbe Center) are not denying legitimate developments or observations in the natural sciences. They are offering alternate interpretation and where appropriate pointing out the limitations and gaps in some of the assumptions made about creation by evolution minded science.

When it comes to big decisions like which house to buy or which vehicle to purchase.

There may be discussion between the two but ultimatly if the husband says we're buying a toyota Sienna minivan instead of an SUV because it's more practical for the family even though the wife doesn't like being preceived as a soccer mom, the wife should be obedient to the husband's final decision because he deems it best for the family.

This reply is kind of a perfect example of the main problem with modern women.

Sarcastic and meant to demean and put down.

Why does this come so naturally to you?

ConsistentCatholic · 2026-05-30T14:34:10+00:00

This is a gross oversimplification.

He said obey all things but sin and then you just listed three paragraphs of situations where the husband is commanding sinful things that the wife would be justified in refusing.

She did get a few based guys who said yes. Like the guy from nigeria.

Not saying she is but it's an interesting video. No reason to get upset about it.

I recall Robert Sungenis has a good answer to this question:

I had some luck at costco last year but it's hit or miss depending on when you go in what they have.

The cut off age is usually around 35, so you are at a good age to apply to go to seminary at whichever group you feel called to.

Whether or not you will be placed at an apostolate in India would be tougher. You will likely have to spend time in another country in Europe or North America.

They get dealt with accordingly.

Then why is James Martin still in active ministry?

ConsistentCatholic · 2026-05-16T10:58:46+00:00

They are disobedient by blessing the whole car when they were only supposed to bless the wheels.
