Proud2BCatholic139 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I would not go to either of them. Well, I guess it depends on the situation. See, if I was 8 years old, I wouldn't know the difference. But, growing up as a Roman Catholic, recieving the sacraments, and being confirmed in the Roman Catholic church, I will not fall away. My sister at my church gave a great example on the alphabit and the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic church has 26 of the letters. Some other Catholic churches has most of the letters, but took p or r out. This analogy was used to show the differences in what they beleive versus a Roman Catholic. It was interesting. So, I will not attend the Mass at the other churches and I will do my best to travel to Siberia to find a traditional Roman Catholic Mass.
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 depends on what kind of Sede. Some people accuse the SSPV of being Sede, but they are not. i might go there.
goldenchild17 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Interesting thought Sam. They're not Sede? Do you have a statement from them saying that they accept the current pope as Pope? There are different groups of sedes, they may not be strictly sede but one of the other philosophies. But if they reject the current pope they are still sede. I'm interested in what you know. THanky.
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 They have no "offical" statment about sedevecantism. Many of the priests conclude that they "do not know" whether Benedict XVI is the pope or is not the pope, and from what i understand sedevecantism is not discussed there. Sam
Mercy me Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 [quote name='StThomasMore' post='991266' date='May 26 2006, 09:07 PM'] I'm just wondering, why were you in the Arctic circle? [/quote] Would you believe that I really was going to visit Santa? Didn't think so. Actually, I had a friend who lived up there and so I went when I had enough time to travel there. For some reason it had not occurred to me that there would not be a church or a priest up there.
Maria Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Well, if there were no masses being said in Montreal, I'd probably spend the weekends/Sundays with my relatives in Ottawa. (Depending on what speed you drive, and which relatives, it can certainly be more than 3 hours.) I think we prefer the Orthodox masses because they're not deliberately out of union.

I grew up as an Evangelical (Baptist) and my grandfather was a Southern Baptist minister. I didn't realize our churches were so evil! Many Baptists around the world are serving as missionaries and others have died for the name of Christ. Indeed in Nagaland, India, the population is overwhelmingly Baptist and seminaries are training many locals to evangelize Christ to neighboring Indian provinces... Praise God!!! If there were no Catholic Church for a three hour drive.... I would attend the best Evangelical Church nearby (even if Baptist! ), attend Orthodox mass frequently and drive at least once every three months to the Catholic Church. I would stay FAR away from the sedevacantists. They strike me as the kind of people who would want to burn Baptists at the stake!!!! (It's this attitude which lead to the death of Tyndale, who gave the English speaking people the written Word of God.) I'd probably move soon to attend a good orthodox evangelically focussed Catholic Church. I've even thought of moving to Madison to fellowship with the Evangelical Catholic folks [url="http://www.evangelicalcatholic.org/"]http://www.evangelicalcatholic.org/[/url] .

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Hi HS_Dad i assume you are somehow related to HS_Mom. i know some sedevecantists. they do not burn baptists at the stake. they are in schism, not heresy (like the Orthodox, or baptist), and their masses are valid, so it would be "better" to go there.

heavenseeker Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 what is the name of the church started by King George in early day England?

Plus every so often Cardinal Dulles writes something that is exactly right!
