To understand the seriousness of the situation in the Church as a result of the Vatican II council you need to understand theology. Catholics are bound by the deposit of faith, not by private revelations, private opinions of prelates or doctors of the church. We have never had in the history of the church where a pope with a council passed teachings that contradict past councils. For one the council teaches one can be saved in any religion and that the Catholic church is not the only means of salvation. (1)
Now you must come to understand that eventually all of the other prelates who objectively accepted these heretical teachings all became excommunicated and in some cases were never legally ordained or consecrated Bishops because of the new rites. Am I saying that all of these other prelates went to hell? I don’t know, I know that God makes allowances for the aged the underage, and so on, I leave it up to God. One thing I do know, Paul VI went to Hell the day he died I know because he was responsible for these heretical changes and God gave me a sign that he went there.
As a result the institutional Catholic church at or around this time became the Apostate church and the True Church went into the wilderness (Apoc:12), pope less. and the “Great Apostasy,” began, which lasts about 40 to 50 years. We are entering into the 56 Th year now.
What is significant here is that after, say, 1969 or so, we lost not only the juridical structure of the papacy, but a legitimately recognized juridical hierarchy. What is the result is not only a break in line of popes, but the juridical or legitimate ability to elect a successor to the papacy having no acceptable or universally recognized formal jurisdiction. Therefore, there is no longer the ability to elect a papal successor to continue the Papal Line, something even sede vacantists have no plans to do and even if they did, very few would accept the results. Nor can we look too the Vatican II Church to have them elect a True Pope, since they have apostatized and are cut off from the Church. (2) Therefore, the papal line of succession taught by Vatican Council I has ended. Therefore, if anyone says that it is not according to the institution of Christ our Lord himself, that is, by divine law, that St. Peter has perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or if anyone says that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of St. Peter in the same primacy: let him be anathema (D1825). If you look this up in the Dogmatic writings of the Church, it clearly states that Popes have to have an unending line, and we have never had a break in the Line except for death or resignation. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS OTHER WISE. My friends, this is the main reason which has divided the Traditional Catholics for the last 56 years. Do we have the answer to this dilemma, yes we do and it’s up to the faithful to accept it if you want to be on the winning team. It seems, at least, most of the traditionalists believe and accept that we are living in the days of the “Great Apostasy.” But many have different positions on the outcome and the identity of the AntiChrist or AntiChrists.
St. Paul, Second Thessalonians, Chapter 2 tells us: … Let no one deceive you in any way, for the day of the Lord will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the Man of Sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and is exalted above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits in the temple of God and gives himself out as if he were God….. And then the wicked one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and will destroy with the brightness of his coming.“
Now the original meaning of antichrist comes from St. John’s book of the Apocalypse in referring to the high priest Caph-as who had Jesus killed. This stands to reason that the future AntiChrist must be a high priest or pope against a false pope.
Once again, St. Paul and the other Apostles makes it clear that it’s the AntiChrist who institute the “Great Apostasy” (In the scriptures it’s defined as a Schism) It’s not the other way around, which many of the traditional fathers have it backwards and unfortunately the church assumed here was the one and only AntiChrist and not a series of them in succession as we have with these false popes.
Many of the sede vacantists do not acknowledge these Vatican II popes as the AntiChrists to this day and at the same time disobey them,even when I have shown them where each one of them is in the Scriptures, up until Benedict XVI. Even the Church defines under “AntiChrist,” a consensus that He will most likely be a false pope (2). However again, he is not a single one individual but a series of them which Christ makes that clear in referring to the end times, He says many AntiChrists and false prophets, (Matt: 24: 24) but only one AntiChrist, (false pope) can sit on the chair at a time. These conclusions are available to those who wish to send for them or go to my web site. So again, my friends, this V-2 Great Apostasy and its AntiChrists can only be defeated by our Lords return, again and again, on that last Pentecost Sunday. There is NO RESTORATION OF A DIVINE TRUTH any more than God could of stopped His Crucifixion. Also, if this were not true than THERE IS NO SECOND COMING OF CHRIST, or a REASON FOR HIM TO COME BACK. Why would He say “…if those days were not shortened even the elect would be saved.?” Traditionalists are the elect. Now does this mean you have to be a sede vacantist? The truth is that every Catholic who rejects the Vatican II council and the new Mass is subjectively a sede vacantist whether they realize it or not. A Pope cannot give you an invalid or BAD Sacrament the Mass is one of the seven Sacraments and you will find the new mass mentioned in Apocalypse 18;5 18:5. THE MASS IS HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH.
In concluding, my dear faithful, we must all come to recognize the realization that as it stands up to this present time, the line of successors has been broken without any acceptable way to mend it and according to most Doctors of the Church the “Great Apostasy,” only lasts about 40 to 50 years before Christ comes back which doesn’t give us much time to mend the line or come to a common Logical Conclusion.
Praying for these antichrist popes or for a future pope is in-vain because the book of the Apocalypse makes it very clear that, “they well not repent… and the light and word will not shine in thy again.”
Below are some of the formal heresies by a converted N/O Priest, he’s Catholic now.
He left out the heretical new Bibles. Remember that the Bible is part of the deposit of Faith.
Grace be with you.
