Could reconciliation with the SSPX arrive with ease?

[benedictaoo]

Reunification with Orthodoxy? Yeah sure.
We just have to burn our catechism and we`ll all be friends.
Easy peasy...

It would not be that bad. We agree far more then we disagree.

Ask an Orthodox about that Bene, I dare you

 

[benedictaoo]

i guessed that, but they still sound pretty stubborn to me.

What do you feel they should comprise on?

 

[benedictaoo]

Ask an Orthodox about that Bene, I dare you

I'm cool with the Orthodox. I'm not gonna start with them.

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

I'm cool with the Orthodox. I'm not gonna start with them.

You better not, they`re equipped ...

 

[mea kulpa]

It is we who come to them with open arms

Yeah , I mean it can only be seen as a good thing. I'm excited. Now if we could do only do the same with the Orthodox.

Yes we need them to help us heal mother church. I have a feeling this is only the begining.

Pope Francis bringing in his opposets...

Lets call this what it truely is, its a miracle from a loving wise and all powerful God. Praise to his holy name and he has done this for our mother our ever loving a wonderful mother our lady who has tirelessly interceeded for the church truely she is blessed among women.

I suspect the intercession of the prayers of Saint John Paul the Great likely softened some hearts in the SSPX and convinced them to finally abandon their previous, obviously errant and unacceptable all-or-nothing position.

We have had so many "down" days recently. The lows are low but the highs, oh the highs. I feel like i am witnessing something momentus... i feel like i want to grab bishop felay and pope francis and do an irish jig around st peters basilica... i wish we all lived near by i would hold a street party for us on the day it all happens.

As you said earlier in this very therad, the road is still long and battles are to be fought...

You have read the letter i take it.

You should be happy

You have read the letter i take it.

Everyone should be happy, this is encouraging news. I am holding my breath a bit though, as the letter was not exactly representing the SSPX as I understand it. Still, it absolutely is reason for hope!

Not error. Disobedience. What about them is error?

Lets say a Hail Mary together people.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

 

[benedictaoo]

I guess JP is praying for them. He's the one who excommunicated them.

True but today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow and there is no gift like the present. I know your right i have to keep my feet on the ground.... but i just want to enjoy it... i want to get carried away in the moment my heart is rejoycing. I have been on a high all day. It is right we enjoy the highs they strenghen us in the lows

Disobedience to rightful authority /is/ error.
