Monsignor John Iffert, 56, Bishop of Covington, Kentucky (92'000 Catholics), will celebrate a Homosex-Eucharist on August 28 at St. Joseph's Church in Cold Spring, Kentucky.
He is showing up for the monthly meeting "All are welcome" organised by the group "Fortunate Families".
The parish is part of the Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky, which is being ruined by the homosex-preacher John Stowe, 58.
Bishop Iffert gained international notoriety in January for damaging a Latin Mass parish by forcing out the priests Shannon Collins and Sean Kopczynski.
The prostitute of Babylon has a cup of filth with which she intoxicates people. The anti-church is a monkey that, in order to imitate the Church, uses a diabolical system to imitate the sacraments to consecrate people to the antichrist. The Seal of the Beast on the Forehead is the obstinacy in Sin. And instead of repenting, these impenitent homosexuals trample on the Blood of Christ. Revelation 17:4-18 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 4 And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication. Father Herman B. Kramer (1884-1976) Author of the renowned "The Book of Destiny" (1956) pointed out without censor, several points of the dark days of the Church that we are obviously living in our own day. False Sacraments: "The False Prophet may institute secret rites, through which the followers of Antichrist will be advanced by degrees into the deeper mysticism of his cult. A sort of diabolical sacramental system would thus be instituted conferring the graces of Satan and consecrating people to the service of the Beast." page 325 The Fall of the Church & Papacy: "The Church is defeated. The Papacy is abolished."pg. 321
The only stroke of genius he could have if he had the lights of the Holy Spirit, once his church is full of homosexuals, would be to invite everyone to CONFESSION, and to make himself available NOW, no matter how long it takes!!! That would immediately cause a scandal in their eyes... A FANTASTIC haul to catch so many fish like in the miraculous catch!!! Unfortunately, with such a smile, I fear he won't even think about it... But what a contrast when comparing him with the holy priest of Ars! In two distinct eras, it is a real spiritual gulf that separates them!!!
The Catechism of St. Pius X teaches that a confession or communion is sacrilegious when it does not have the intention of sanctification for which it was instituted. Priests who do not celebrate a Mass with the intention of the Church also commit sacrilege.
This 'bishop' has lost the "grace of office" due to his open apostasy and loss of the Catholic Faith- there is no way he has the intention of sanctification for which this august Sacrament was instituted by Our Lord and intended by the Catholic Church. It is high past time that we call these traitors to the Faith out for their apostasy - rather than simply talk about it - shrug our shoulders and move on.
1. Intention is always interior, thus not known by other persons. 2. It is heresy (cf Council of Trent) to say that the moral state of a priest affects his ability to celebrate Sacraments validly. This dates back to the Donatists of the time of St Augustine. 3. Ordination imprints an indelible character on the soul, which cannot be lost. The refers to both presbyters and bishops.
"By their fruits you will know them!" - interior intentions show themselves in one's actions. If you, Dr. Bobus, want to risk the state of your soul by receiving the so-called Eucharist from this apostate enemy of Our Lord, go for it! As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
1.The Magisterium of the Church teaches that the elevation of heretics to any ecclesiastical office, including the papacy, is invalid and null. Bull of Pope Paul IV Against Heretics: "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio" (virgosacrata.com) 2. The intention to promote the vice of sodomy is a public act of apostasy. 3. Mystici Corporis confirms that heresy separates a man from the Church by its very nature.
@DrMaria The matter at hand is whether the mass was valid--not whether I wanted to attend and or receive Communion there. As I said, intention is always interior. It refers to the Cur (why) a certain action happens. The relation of the Act that is willed to its Intention is Means to End. Personal Piety is independent of Sacramental validity. Personal Piety is subjective. Validity comes from the power of the indelible character that is imprinted on the soul by Ordination. Minimal Sacramental Intention is required. It is always general and is always the same for all the Sacraments: To intend to do what the Church does. Intendere facere quod facit Ecclesia. I recommend ST, Ia IIae, Q. 16-21. Also the Council of Trent.
But the intention in this case is not private, it is to promote the vice of sodomy, which is an act of public apostasy. Francis misrepresents the Catechism on homosexuality - LifeSiteNews In 1986, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, then-led by Cardinal Ratzinger, issued a document instructing bishops on the pastoral care of Individuals Dealing with Same-Sex Attraction. Therein, the congregation admonished bishops to ensure they are “clearly stating that homosexual activity is immoral.” The instruction adds, “But we wish to make it clear that departure from the Church's teaching, or silence about it, in an effort to provide pastoral care is neither caring nor pastoral. Only what is true can ultimately be pastoral. The neglect of the Church's position prevents men and women (with Same Sex attraction) from receiving the care they need and deserve.”
In jealously trying to embrace Orthodoxy, you have grabbed onto the old heresy of Donatism. Nb: from Trent Si quis dixerit ministrum in peccato mortali existentem, modo omni essentialia, quae ad sacramentum conficiendum aut conferendum pertinent, servaverit, non conficere aut conferre sacramentum, Anathema sit. My translation: If anyone says that a minister existing in mortal sin keeps essential things in every manner what pertains to confecting or confering a Sacrament. does not confect or confer the Sacrament, anathema sit.
According to your conclusion, the heresiarch Luther continued to validly administer the sacraments. For not every sin, however grave, is such that by its very nature it separates a man from the Body of the Church, as does schism, heresy, or apostasy. (Mystici Corporis 23)
By the way, the Church has also excommunicated Ipso Facto the accomplices and collaborators of heretics. Bull of Pope Paul IV Against Heretics: "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio" (virgosacrata.com) 5. [By this Our Constitution,] moreover, [which is to remain valid in perpetuity, We] also [enact, determine, decree and define:] as follows concerning those who shall have presumed in any way knowingly to receive, defend, favour, believe or teach the teaching of those so apprehended, confessed or convicted: (i) they shall automatically incur sentence of excommunication; (ii) they shall be rendered infamous; If anyone does not anathematize Arius, Eunomius, Macedonius, Apollinarius, Nestorius, Eutyches and Origen, with their impious writings, and all the other heretics condemned and anathematized by the holy catholic and apostolic church and by the aforesaid holy four councils, and those who held or hold tenets like those of the aforesaid heretics and persisted or persist in the same impiety till death, let him be anathema.
@DrMaria I think that in order to gain great support for Lucifer, the apostate angels used similar arguments to obtain the submission of other weak angels and to get them to join them in the rebellion against God. As if an apostate angel claimed the rights that he had before his fall. Because here we are talking about apostate priests who impunity defy not only the Church but God himself. This quote is outside the context of the Council of Trent because it is used to support apostate priests when the same Council established requirements and duties for priests and Bishops. It must also be taken into account that we are talking about a circumstance where the order was not inverted where the popes judged and punished heretics. But now some cite a part of the council to promote ecclesiastical impunity. Even Vatican II established that priests need to adhere to Catholic moral doctrine otherwise those priests are not in full communion with the Church.
@la verdad prevalece - right on! - "priests need to adhere to Catholic moral doctrine otherwise those priests are not in full communion with the Church" -- and if they are not in full communion, how can one even think they are intending to "do what the Church intends" in administering the Sacraments!
