Palmarian Catholic Church

Wow! Just what we need, more Popes

quote excerpt:...........Following the death of Paul VI in 1978, Domínguez set up his own holy see in Seville, claiming that he had been mystically crowned pope by Jesus Christ in a vision. He took the papal name "Gregory XVII", and appointed his own cardinals. By these actions, the "Carmelites of the Holy Face" evolved into the Palmarian Catholic Church. Some of Catholics previously associated with the Carmelites left the group as a result.

Palmarian Catholic Church

Here're some of mine for believing that it's not:

Controversial practices which are not part of traditional Catholic devotion have been reported in the Palmarian Church since its foundation. In the early 1990s, several priests were treated in local hospitals after apparently undergoing amateur body piercing. Domínguez admitted to having sex with nuns, and had previously been active in Seville's homosexual community.[3]
It has been claimed that Domínguez used self harm to give himself the appearance of the stigmata.[1]

Just sayin'

Then again, ya can't believe everything you read
Well, except for Scripture of course.

My Favorite Pope Is Mad Pope Stephen VI.

he ran the "cadaver synod" after the election in 896. He harbored so much anger at a Predecessor, Pope Formosus, that he had his corpse exhumed. Formosus decomposing body was dressed in Papal Vestments, propped on a throne and put on trial for crimes against church law. Unable to mount a defense, Formosus ghastly remains were convicted. The three fingers Formosus used to bless the faithful were hacked from his right hand. His body was dragged away and thrown in the Tiber River.

You would think if the Holy Spirit was part of the process these men our picked would be godly examples for the RC..

According to my Ladybird Book of Popes, two Popes later though, Theodore II had the body of Formosus reburied with highest honours. He annuled all the measures taken at the synod of the corpse (or cavader) and reinstated all those deposed or invalidly consecrated by Stephen. He packed a lot into his 3 week pontificate.

Stephen's supporters set up an anti-pope "Sergius" who was unable to sustain his claim but after 4 more Popes and about 7 years became Pope Sergius III. He apparently murdered 2 of his predecessors to get to the top. After his death it quietened down.

That the Catholic Church survived this sort of thing shows me that it is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ. Otherwise it could not have survived this shameful period.

However that is a bit off topic.

 

[Uphill Battle]

indeed, it is off topic. I just responded to the "who's your favorite pope" question.

I would state though, that this isn't POSITIVE evidence for the "ordained unbroken chain" thing....

I'll save it for another thread.

Palmarian Catholic Church

I had never heard of the Palmarian Catholic Church before. What intrigued me was the name of the first sectarian pope, Gregory XVII. His "reign" started in 1978 when Pope Paul VI died. He chose the same name as another Gregory XVII antipope already "reigning" in St. Jovite,Quebec, Canada. I know this for sure, because I lost interest in St. Jovite in 1977 when I joined the Charismatic Renewal and found it incompatible with the ultra-conservative teachings out of St. Jovite. He wrote such books as When Peter is not in Rome and The Eclipse of God. The periodical was called Magnificat. I think I still have both his books. The St. Jovite anti-pope strangely enough acknowledged a Belgian or French fellow as his predecessor, Michel Collin named Pope Clement XV. The St. Jovite anti-pope was a big believer in the Malachy Prophecy and that he would be succeeded by a pope named Peter. He rejected Vatican II and of course Paul VI.
I havn't kept in touch with St. Jovite since 1977, so I don't know if there is still an anti-pope there. I have heard for years that there are several anti-popes, these may be just two of many.
Edited to add:
Googling I found that Tremblay is the name of the St. Jovite antipope.
There is yet a third "Gregory XVII", the name ascribed by some sedevacantist conspiriologists, saying that Cardinal Siri (died 1989) was named at the regular conclaves of 1958 and 1963, but was prevented from taking office because he was so anti-Communist that it would have endangered Catholics behind the Iron Curtain. Even most sedevacantists reject this claim.\
Actually, I'm a sedevacantist myself. The last Pope was Sylvester II, the first Frenchman to be Pope, the Arabic scholar known as Gerbert. That makes an Interregnum now of 1,006 years....
That gets us back before the papalist crazies like Hildebrand and Boniface VIII.
Accepting the conventional line as valid, my favorite Pope is Clement XIV, who banished the Jesuits in 1773.

Never heard it... source please, if you have it?

Not that I would doubt it. What else do you read?

Forgive me...

Are Palmarian Catholics in union with the Pope, or are they a schsmatic group?

 

[Tu Es Petrus]

Ooops. Never mind. I see they're schismatic.

Great. More Lefevbre wannabees

I never heard of Pope Theodoros II. My first guess was that he was Pope of the Armenian Orthodox, but it says "of Alexandria and All Africa". Is he the Nestorian Pope? I thought the latter was in Syria or Iraq.

In Spain the "Church of Palmar de Troya" is a joke.
