After a decade of attending the #SSPX, we realized that Abp. Lefebvre was wrong about #Sedevacantism and its new leadership doesn't do half the good he did.

We're just a simple #Catholic family. We do not consider ourselves to be erudite in the Faith. We're trying to act coherently with the perennial teaching of the Church, which is why we distanced ourselves from the confusion and contradictions voiced by the leaders of the #SSPX.
🧵With this thread, we intend to highlight the most relevant things we faced during this process that led us to Sedevacantism. This will be helpful for those that are in the same situation, but fear ending up outside the Church because of false claims against Sedevacantism. 1/

To all Summorum Pontificum / Ad Petri Sedem Traditional Latin Mass pilgrims of this past weekend: Remember when St. Peter's Basilica hosted an Anglican Evensong (Vespers) service - with 'Cardinal' Roche?! It took place on March 13, 2017. More info here: novusordowatch.org/2022/08/c…

Dear Michael Matt, it is precisely videos like this one that assure Leo XIV and his counterfeit hierarchy that excluding and penalizing you and your recognize-and-resist movement is the right decision. You have once again confirmed all their suspicions and reservations.
They were denied entry. They processed anyway. Faithful Catholics whose only “fault” is that they remain grateful to Pope Benedict for Summorum Pontificum, were denied entry into St. Peter’s Basilica, where they hoped to conclude their procession through the Pilgrim’s Door and recite the Credo over the bones of the first pope. They came anyway, and went as far as they could. God bless them and their loyal hearts.

"The Church Bends but Doesn't Break": The same Eric Sammons who published a book a few years ago saying the Catholic Church had "lost her mission" is now assuring you that the Church can't defect. Does he think we're all idiots? crisismagazine.com/opinion/t…

You've all watched it happen, and you still reject the sedevacantist position. Call yourselves Catholic all you like. Fighting what is plain as day isn't faith, it's cowardice. You'd trade Christ for a potluck and a pretty building. Beyond pathetic. Beyond saving.

The idea of Benedict XVI (d. 2022) having been the restrainer of the Antichrist (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2) is utterly asinine. Few people in the world have personally done more to help prepare the world to receive the Antichrist than Joseph Ratzinger. onepeterfive.com/pope-benedi…

I have found very simple yet compelling Catholic theology in the letters written by priests who've escaped the Novus Ordo to embrace the true Catholic Church. Let us make a thread of them, by starting with this gem from Fr. Michael Oswalt, written in 2009. cmri.org/articles-on-the-tra…

"I warned you that I might speak against the Faith. Why are you condemning me for it?" Good grief..
One of my biggest issues with Sedes is that they will condemn you for discussing a difficult subject without precision. I made caveats in the clip itself saying how I know there is tension between what I’m saying and the traditional view.

The counterfeit church of Vatican II is getting a makeover.
Amoris Laetitia conference member says the event shows “a Church that is moving to a full realisation of the vision of Vatican II & the Synod on Synodality” It is “a church where everyone has a voice” & where there is “a paradigm shift in theology” towards listening, said Father Stanislaus Chu Ilo

Funny how Leo XIV's alleged 'appointment' of the Chicom cleric is always announced only after the ordination. One gets the impression China acts unilaterally and Leo merely 'appoints' retroactively.
The episcopal ordination of Bishop Ignatius Ding Zuyao takes place in Haimen, in China’s Jiangsu Province, following his appointment by Pope Leo XIV under the Provisional Agreement between the Holy See and the People’s Republic of China. vaticannews.va/en/church/new…

We completely adhere to this statement. May Our Lord give us the grace necessary to persevere through this present tribulation. #SedeVacante #FightForTheChurch #UnamSanctam
I will remain a sedevacantist until God deigns to give the Church a true Pope. I believe all the truths that the Holy Catholic Church teaches and I earnestly unite myself to the Chair of St. Peter. I would rather die than separate myself from union with the Holy See. Thus, I would never betray Our Lord or the divinely instituted Office of His Vicar by submitting myself to any non-Catholic imposter pretending to the Papacy. Thus, trusting in Our Lord's promises, and willing to suffer whatever slings and arrows may be cast at me by those who have burned incense to the Novus Ordo Religion, I live in complete peace knowing that I affirm and believe inviolate the Catholic Faith of my forefathers. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, forever. An extended vacancy of the Holy See does not alter this fact one iota. Our Lord works on His time, not on ours. The Truths of His Church are immutable. In His Church, united to the Apostolic See, with God's grace, I intend to live and die. If I die before a true Pope is restored to the See of Peter, then so be it. God's will be done.
