Canon 188.4 or Where is the Church
B.F. Dryden
Defection from the faith and loss of office.
Preface
It was as an aid to my own preaching that three essays were written in the spring of 1979, explaining, respectively, loss of office under Canon 188.4, the history and present meaning of the term anathema, Continue reading
For Those of you Fathers and Sedevacantists That Need a True Pope
What is a Pope? Isn’t he just another Bishop?
The New Rite of Holy Orders by William Morgan (RIP)
A Question of Orders
by William Morgan
The Conciliar abolition of Minor Orders and the Subdiaconate.
In the charge given by the ordaining bishop to those he is about to ordain to the second order of the priesthood (the Presbyterate), in the rite contained in the traditional Roman Pontifical, he makes this concise statement: Continue reading
Rome and The Seat of Peter

With respect to some traditionalists that believe they can be loyal to the Vatican and maintain the Latin Mass and not follow Vatican II, I must dissent from such point of view. I do not offer the sedevacantist position as infallible or as an authoritative basis. I also cannot offer it as a solution to the problems of the new order church and its popes, hierarchy, clergy or its laity. I offer it as a position any true traditionalist must take in order to be faithful to the Roman Catholic Church, the pre-conciliar doctrines, dogma, heaven and to the Godhead in the name of Jesus Christ. Sede vacante traditionalists do have Rome as the seat of Peter. Continue reading
St Robert Bellarmine, BCD, “De Romano Pontifice”, (“On the Roman Pontiff”)

St Robert Bellarmine, “De Romano Pontifice”, (“On the Roman Pontiff”), liber II, caput 30:
“For, in the first place, it is proven with arguments from authority and from reason that the manifest heretic is “ipso facto” deposed. The argument from authority is based on St. Paul (Titus, c. 3), who orders that the heretic be avoided after two warnings, that is, after showing himself to be manifestly obstinate – which means before any excommunication or judicial sentence.

Can One Be Materially Pope and Not Formally Also?
A review of “The Problem of Authority in the Post conciliar Church – the Cassiciacum Thesis” by Father Bernard Lucien.
In this review, I would wish to proceed through the Cassiciacum Thesis of Msgr. Guerard des Laurier as presented by Rev. Bernard Lucien and translated by Rama P. Coomaraswamy, M.D., step by step, but time does not allow. Be that as it may, one must first skip to the conclusion in order to put into perspective the outcome of their conclusions. I will return to the Thesis afterwards. Continue reading
The Mass of Pope Paul VI

Search Wikipedia!
This article is about the post-Vatican-II changes to the Mass; for an explanation of the current structure of the Mass, see Mass (Catholic Church).
The Mass of Pope Paul VI is the liturgy of the Catholic Mass of the Roman Rite promulgated by Paul VI in 1969, after the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). It is the present ordinary or normal [1] form of the Roman Rite of the Mass. [2] Continue reading
Paul VI and the New Mass
Did Paul VI ‘Illegally Promulgate’ the Novus Ordo?
Rev. Anthony Cekada
The Society of St. Pius X and a popular traditionalist myth.
Most Catholics who. abandon the New Mass do so because they find it evil, irreverent or non-Catholic. Instinctively, though, the Catholic knows that the Church of Christ cannot give us something evil, since the Church would then be leading us to hell, rather than heaven. Continue reading
The Operation of Error by W. F. Strojie (RIP) #79 part 2, March 27 1985
W.F. Strojie
Letter No. 79
March 27, 1985
The Operation of Error
Part Two
In Letter 78, I gave it as my opinion that Vatican II and it’s works is the fulfillment of St. Paul’s prophecy of an operation of error. For never has such a colossal fraud, actually preposterous, as is Vatican II “ecumenism”, been imagined. The second reason for this conclusion of mine, is that St. Paul’s prediction of a great Apostasy, of a revolt and the appearance of the AntiChrist, Continue reading
Father Herman B. Kramer’s Book Supports Sede Vacantism
Father H. B. Kramer in his “The Book of Destiny,” (Tan books reprint 1956) In interpreting the Apocalyptic prophecies concerning the status of the Church during the End Times we find him acknowledging what the Church has always alluded to the fact that during these End Times the faithful will be reduced to the Remnant Few. Continue reading
Why There can Never be Another True Pope
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. Continue reading

Dear Editor:
In response to the publication of the article, “A Little Catechism on Sede Vacantism” by the pseudonym “Dominicus”, there are several things that must be set in context in order to begin a basis for an understanding of the Sede vacantist’s position. Continue reading
Apostate Popes in the Past?
To a Traditional web site:
In response to your article listed on your web site, “A Pope Who Apostatized from the Catholic Faith”, I must place you either in the schismatic Old Catholics or among the Modernists Vatican II Counciliarists. I cannot categorize your opinion among Roman Catholics who are faithful to the teaching magisterium and accept the infallibility of the Pope as defined by the Vatican Council (1870).
