SSPX Solution and the “Concordia Apostolorum” – Nov 18 – Homily – Fr Terrance

 

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 18, 2022, on the consecration of the basilicas of St Paul and St Peter built by Constantine and how it relates to the Concordia Apostolorum about unity in the Church and how it relates to the schism of 1054 AD between Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Catholicism and how it is the solution to the SSPX schism. We must have the humility to submit to the authority of the Church and thus avoid the pride of division and discord.

Catechism outside CCC 846 - "Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it." - http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p123a9p3.htm#846

What does it mean to be not the Church?

It is not being good pastors to sugarcoat problems and issues in the Church.

SSPX was suppressed in 1975, and faculties were removed, and yet they still celebrated mass illicitly, rejecting Vatican II, calling the mass of Paul VI evil.

SSPX rightly points out the confusion of such sugar-coating by liberals but fails to apply it to themselves.

Starve the schism, don't go, don't listen to their apologists, avoid traditionalist websites

Look at good websites that give antidotes like:

Reason and Theology - Michael Lofton: https://www.youtube.com/@ReasonandTheology

The Logos Project - https://www.youtube.com/@thelogosproject7

and, of course, our channel :)

Keep the SSPX in your prayers.
