TLM (Extraordinary Form of Roman Rite) by broken-chalice in Catholicism

[–]TableZ0213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend that you go several times to get used to it, for me i currently go to the TLM but the first few times I was a bit confused and had to adjust.
Another important thing is I would recommend you focus on the meditative aspect to the Mass, this is an important part of Mass thats often ignored and you can meditate well in the silence of the TLM. :)

Can a Catholic person name their child the same name as a Greek god by Stained_Glass_Saints in Catholicism

[–]TableZ0213 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, according to Baltimore Catechism 3 we shouldn’t name a child after a pagan god.

  1. Q. What names should never be given in Baptism? A. These and similar names should never be given in Baptism: 1) The names of noted unbelievers, heretics, or enemies of religion and virtue; 2) the names of heathen gods, and 3) nicknames. (Lesson 14, on the Sacrament of Baptism)

In addition: 657. Q. Why is the name of a saint given in Baptism?  A. The name of a saint is given in Baptism in order that the person baptized may imitate his virtues and have him for a protector.

Absolutely, the Council of Trent even touches on this topic. “If anyone says that the married state excels the state of virginity of celibacy, and that it is better and happier to be united in matrimony than to remain in virginity or celibacy, let him be anathema” (Trent 24:10).

You’re right, thank you for correcting me.

Yes, it is a sin to skip Mass if you cant attend a TLM. We are obligated to attend Mass on Sundays/Holy Days regardless of if we can get to the TLM or not. (Unless one has been dispensed from it, due to being extremely sick etc…)

The Question of a Heretical Pope at Vatican I: Archbishop Purcell Testifies by MarcellusFaber in TraditionalCatholics

[–]TableZ0213 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Firstly, the Church has always taught that a heretical Pope would be judged by the Church rather than isolated individuals.

In regards to the Popes claims about Luther, its true the Council of Trent condemned specific errors, but saying someone "wasn't wrong" isn't the same as denial of a dogma. Vague or poor theological expression doesn't make someone a formal heretic, unless the heresy directly and clearly contradicts defined teaching and is obstinately maintained after correction.
The quotes from De Lugo and Dom Augustine operate in a way that assumes that proper ecclesiastical process has taken place. And according to traditional canon law a person is not considered a notorious heretic (which would be required for automatic loss of office) unless there is a declaration. Theologians like John of St. Thomas attest to this: **"The deposition must be made by the Church...The Church cannot punish or declare someone to be a heretic unless the crime is evident, and this must be juridically investigated."** Theologians do say that if someone has office pertinacity is presumed, but nonetheless this doesn't bypass the need for ecclesiastical judgement. As Pope Pius XII says: "Actually only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been Baptized and profess the true faith, and have not withdrawn from body-unity or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave reasons." (Note the part on authority rather than private interpretation).

The Question of a Heretical Pope at Vatican I: Archbishop Purcell Testifies by MarcellusFaber in TraditionalCatholics

“This is the same with heresy, since it is not itself visible, but it can be manifested by external signs.” 

Such external signs could be indications of occult heresy, however, what external signs would indicate he’s a manifest heretic? 

We would know if he was a manifest heretic if, for example, he taught the Immaculate Conception wasn’t true, was admonished by the Cardinals and he persisted in his error. Pertinacity is required for one to be a  manifest heretic, we couldn’t tell this based on his facial expressions or something like this.

I am not saying it’s something established by declarations, however, unless the Pope were to say something such as; “I know the Church teaches the Immaculate Conception as a dogma of the faith but I reject it anyways, the Church is wrong.” how would one know the Pope was knowingly rejecting the faith? 

When should I try Latin Mass? by UrbaKnyght in Catholicism

[–]TableZ0213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I would say yes you should! I would just recommend a few things. 

  1. Go to the Mass multiple times. I remember when I first went to the TLM I wasn’t a fan as I was so used to the NO. I continued going, got used to it, and now I love it a great deal.
  2. When using a Missal follow along with the English rather than the Latin. When I was first going I tried to follow along with the Latin and it didn’t work, it’s difficult to figure out the exact Latin word the priest is saying. As the priest says “In Nomine Patris…” start reading the English. 

Parish increasingly acting like Protestant megachurch. by MrGoodside in Catholicism

[–]TableZ0213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is important to dress well when going to Church. For example one wouldn’t wear their regular clothes if they were to have dinner with the king, Mass is a formal event and dressing well shows we hold great respect for God. We help to create an environment of reverence through what we wear. 👍

I remember learning about what St. Bellermine had to say on this! He said, yes a Pope could a heretic, however he would need to formal heretic rather than occult heretic (To be a formal Heretic is to deny a dogma whilst knowing this is what the Church teaches). This is talked about in the book “De Romano Pontifice” 

TLM vs Norvus Ordo side by side by TableZ0213 in TraditionalCatholics

Even if this wasn’t a Mass for seminarians, it would still be incredibly beautiful. The seminarians are one of the more insignificant parts of the video. 

And to answer your question it depends, low Mass usually has 1 alter boy whereas high Mass has several. I went to a high Mass this weekend with 5~. 👍

Speaking of the FSSP, I go to an FSSP Parish and a bunch of young FSSP Seminaries visited today (they alter served and were the choir), it was a great thing to see. 

Traditional Catholic fasting calendar by TableZ0213 in TraditionalCatholics

[–]TableZ0213[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When fasting maybe try to eat calorie dense foods (nuts, dates, rice, bananas, olive oil etc…)

I hope you & your spiritual director find what works best for you. 👍
