Destroying the Papacy in Order to Save Bergoglio Bp. Sanborn's Blog

[Taken from the September issue of the MHT Seminary Newsletter] In a recent speech, reported by the website wherepeteris, Cardinal Burke proposed yet another episode of his curious manner of dealing with the heresies of Bergoglio. He spoke about the change of the catechism, made by Bergoglio, which condemns the use of capital punishment. The�

The Great Western Schism Bp. Sanborn's Blog

Pope Urban VI (1378 - 1389) There are many traditional Catholics who, in an effort to find a precedent to our current problem in the Church, look to the Great Western Schism as this precedent. The Great Western Schism was a split among Catholics which took place from 1378 to 1417. It was caused by�

Bergoglio wishes the Moslems a happy Ramadan Bp. Sanborn's Blog

This is really nothing new, as we already know that Vatican II sees non-Catholic religions as having value in the order of salvation, indeed as means of salvation, which is an explicit heresy. What is interesting about Bergoglio�s statement, however, is that he openly approves of freedom of conscience, that is, the right to choose�
