Mary, Ever Virgin, Immaculate Conception, the Mother of God, gave us Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, the Redeemer by willingly providing the pure seed bed of the Divine Incarnation, and through her miraculous Virgin birth (“like a ray of light thru a pane of glass”; before-during-after the birth of Christ). Thru Mary we have Jesus. Mediatrix of All Graces. Thru Mary Jesus comes to us and thru Mary we go to Him. Stabat Mater…At Christ’s birth, and at the foot of the Cross, She is both Mother of God and Co-Redemptorix as she participates in this way, indirectly, in the Redemption Itself. Mary knew that Our Lord Jesus Christ would die on the Cross thru St. Gabriel at the Annunciation. No Mary. No Redeemer. No Redemption. Why? Deus vult…Assumpta est Maria in Caelo.

'When God calls you to penance, he says to you what St. Remigius said to Chlodwig, king of France, when he was to baptise him: "Burn what thou hast worshipped, and worship what thou hast burnt." If we desire the remission of our sins, it is most necessary to love above all things our Lord whom we have despised, and henceforth to despise the hatred, lust, vengeance, pride, etc., in which we have delighted before.' The Archconfraternity ~
In our previous article, we addressed the lawful reception of the sacraments during the vacancy of the Apostolic See. Given the significance of the matter, we deemed it necessary to publish this follow-up article, offering the faithful practical guidance on the subject. I. Errors that all Sedevacantists must avoid 1. Sacramentalist errors a) Denying the necessity of a canonical mission for legitimate ministry. The Council of Trent condemns with anathema those who deny this revealed truth: 'If anyone says that…those who have been neither rightly ordained nor sent by ecclesiastical and canonical authority, but come from a different source, are lawful ministers of the word and of the sacraments: let him be anathema.'

(cf. Pius IX, Minor premise: The teaching that peaceful and universal acceptance of a pope is a sign of his legitimacy is universally and constantly taught by Catholic theologians. Conclusion: Therefore, the peaceful and universal acceptance of a pope as a sign of his legitimacy pertains to the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium. 'Even when it is only a question of the submission owed to divine faith, this cannot be limited merely to points defined by the express decrees of the Ecumenical Councils, or of the Roman Pontiffs and of this Apostolic See; this submission must also be extended to all that has been handed down as divinely revealed by the ordinary …
[1]sacra issued by the Holy Office? To explain the true sense of the Catholic doctrine The Holy Office issued the letter on 8 August 1949. Yes. The Supreme Pontiff, His Holiness Pope Pius XII, has given full approval to this decision. The letter was addressed to the Archbishop of Boston, Richard J. Cushing. The Sacred Congregation ordered Bishop Cushing to publish it in its entirety. Yes.

The Church has always preached this dogma. No. The infallible teaching that there is no salvation outside the Church will never cease to be preached by the Catholic …
The article is a well written critique with a sense of humour of the post VII-theology, not a call to read the Book of Mormon. One does'nt have to be sedevacantist to agree with it.
