Morrisonian Satanism - Direct Promotion of Protestant Acephalism or "Headlessness"
The Catholic Church is centered, besides on God, on the Pope, the Successor of Peter in the Vicarship of Christ. Christ positively stated that He made Peter (and his successors) the Commander-in-Chief and Helmsman of all His Church on Earth. The Pope is central to Christianity. It is through the Pope that God works, guiding and ruling the Church, preserving its unity. God being Omnipotent, could have done it otherwise, but He did it this way. No man has the authority to abrogate that fundamental constitution of God's Church as He set it up - under the necessary supreme government of the lawful Catholic Pope, the Vicar of Christ.Some "Sedevacantists" say that the Church is capable of surviving a long period without having a true, valid, lawful & Catholic Pope. It is God's positive will that the Church Militant always have a Head, the Pope, through whom He works. God can, and has, at times, allowed the Church to be deprived of a true, valid, lawful & Catholic Pope, but that is part of God's Permissive Will, not of His Positive Will.
The error opposed to this fundamental truth is Acephalism, the rejection of having a head lawfully appointed by God, an error that is critically contrary to Catholicism. Protestantism is Acephalist. Most sects in the history of Christianity have been Acephalous.
Traditio's "Fr." Morrison's Acephalist heresy directly contradicts the Holy & Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, 1869-1870:
"Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the Lord Himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be accursed" (Vatican Council, Fourth Session, First Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, 2,5, On The Permanence of the Primacy of Blessed Peter in the Roman Pontiff, July 18th, 1870 A.D.)
To answer the heresiarch Morrison the Protestant & Pseudo-Traditionalist Catholic: The Catholic Church DOES depend upon the pope. It DOES matter who the pope is.
If it doesn't matter who the Pope is, Pope Boniface VIII's law Unam Sanctam would be meaningless, made void:
"Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff."
Morrison & his Traditio.com also tell lies about Antipope John XXIII-II Roncalli. It is a fact that Roncalli was a heretic both before his invalid election and remained so after, never changing, and leading souls astray deliberately, even going so far as to sacrifice his life by delaying medical treatment in order to ensure that his Robber Council wasn't hijacked by the Catholics. (See http://www.geocities.ws/prakashjm45/roncalli.html)
Morrison is very clever at quoting from Scriptures and Church teaching in order to distort the truth and mislead souls. It is true that Holy Bible teaches that "it is better to trust God than princes," but what he neglects to add is that it is God Himself Who set up the Papacy and who uses the Papacy to govern and guide His Church.
Morrison's "solution," the heresy of Acephalism, is Protestantism pure and unadulterated, and violently sins against God.
Morrison is an all round liar, hater of Catholicism and vicious Protestant, regurgitating Protestant lies incessantly.
Such, for example is this:
"The occasion... was the bicentennial of the restoration of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits. The Jesuits had become so corrupted by and immersed in secular politics by 1773 that even the pope couldn't tolerate them any longer. Pope Clement XIV suppressed the order in June 8, 1773, by his Brief of Abolition entitled Dominus ac Redemptor. The Society remained abolished for 41 years. Since the Modernist Vatican II Council (1962-1965), Newchurch Society of Jesus has become even more anti-Catholic and politicized, to the point of embracing Marxist 'Liberation Theology.'"
As a matter of fact, the Popes were forced and blackmailed by antiCatholics to suppress the Jesuits as the most powerful self-defensive tool of the Church, and as soon as the power of the Satanists was broken, the Popes hastened to restore the Jesuit order, in sharp contrast to the Templars, who were never reinstated.
The Catholic perspective on this issue is given by these pages: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14096a.htm & http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14103a.htm.
Morrison is also fond of pretending that Pope Pius IX wasn't in favor of the formalization of the Dogma of Papal Infallibility. As an outspoken Pope, Pius IX never made any such statement. Morrison is only distorting facts to promote Protestantism, as usual.
SUMMARY: The Vatican Council 1869-1870 clear states that those who deny its teachings are accursed, anathema. Morrison has repeatedly drawn this Anathema upon himself by directly contradicting the Holy Council, the Words of the Holy Ghost. He is, therefore, a man who is self-damned.

From: GregAll Too Much Emphasis Has Been Placed since Vatican II on the Pope. Until The Mid Twentieth Century, most Catholics Did Not even Know Who the Pope Was. Whoever He Was, He Couldn't Change The Mass, The Sacraments, Catholic Doctrine, Or Catholic Morality. There Are a Number of Pseudo-Traditionalists around These Days who Think that if Only the Right Pope Were Elected, All Will Be Well. No Pope Can Solve the Nadir into Which The Church Has Sunk. Now Only God Can.
Dear TRADITIO Fathers:With the corruption of the institutional organization since the Vatican II Council (1962-1965), how is a traditional pope to be elected now? The majority of churchmen have become corrupt and have abandoned the Catholic Faith. How is a traditional pope going to be elected to restore order in the Church? It seems as though the corruption is accelerating with the Synod of the Family that is now taking place. Does it matter in the end who the pope is?
The TRADITIO Fathers Reply:All too much emphasis has been placed since the Modernist Vatican II Council on the person of the pope. Until the mid-twentieth century, most Catholics did not even know who the pope was. Whoever he was, he had no authority to change the Mass, the Sacraments, Catholic doctrine, or Catholic morality. One pope died, another was elected, and nothing would change. Nothing could change.
The Catholic Church does not depend upon the pope. It should not even matter who the pope is. There have been almost three hundred times in the history of the Church when there was no pope, extending from a period of days to a period of years. This is in accordance with the decree of the dogmatic Vatican I Council in its Constitutio Dogmatica Prima de Ecclesia Christi (Pastor Aeternus), cap. IV, De Romani Pontificis Infallibili Magisterio, of July 18, 1870:
Neque enim Petri successoribus Spiritus sanctus promissus est, ut eo revelante novam doctrinam patefacerent, sed ut eo assistente traditam per apostolos revelationem seu fidei depositum sancte custodirent et fideliter exponerent.
For the Holy Ghost was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by His revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by His assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or Deposit of Faith transmitted by the Apostles.
All that changed after the Modernist Vatican II Council came along and started the substitution of the Catholic Church by the Newchurch of the New Order, which is not the Catholic Church any more than the Anglican Synod is. This is not what John XXIII had intended with the Council that he had convoked. Contrary to the propaganda that you read in the uninformed religious and secular press, John XXIII was actually quite traditional. He wanted no change in the Mass. He wanted no change in the Sacraments. He wanted no change in Catholic theology. He wanted no change in Catholic morality. He simply wanted the bishops to get together in the century after Vatican I and discuss some practical issues. John XXIII never signed a single document of the Council. On his deathbed, according to a peritus who was there, John XXIII repeated: "Stop the Council. Stop the Council."
It was through the connivance of John XXIII's successor, Paul VI-Montini, and his henchman, the Freemason presbyter Hannibal Bugnini, that by 1969 in Newrome the Catholic Church was replaced by the Newchurch of the New Order. The Catholic Mass was suppressed; a Protestantized invalid "New Mess" was substituted. The Sacrament of Holy Orders was suppressed, so that Catholic priests were no longer ordained nor Catholic bishops consecrated, but presbyters and Newbishops were merely "installed to preside over the assembly of the people."
There are a number of pseudo-traditionalists around these days who want to play God. They want to hold some phony council, declare some phony pope. They think that if only the right pope were elected, all will be well. They are gravely mistaken, and they are not Catholic in their minds. No pope can solve the nadir into which the Church has sunk in the Modernist period. Only God can. Of this fact, we are reminded in the Scriptures:
Bonum est confidere in Domino, quam confidere in homine. Bonum est sperare in Domino quam sperare in principibus.
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man. It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes (Psalm 117:8/DRV). And again:
Nolite confidere in principibus.
Put not your trust in princes (Psalms 145:2/DRV).
So, what are we to do? Scripture gives us the answer. It is the same answer that St. Paul gave to the Thessalonians of his time:
State et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis sive per semonem sive per epistulam nostram.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions that you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle (2 Thessalonians 2:14/DRV).
Thus, Scripture tells us that it is our responsibility to hold to the Traditions that we were taught. The rest is God's business. It is his Church. He will do with it as He pleases, when He pleases. Any correction may take a decade, a century, or even until the Second Coming. If only we had followed St. Paul's command, starting around the 1960s, the Church would not be in the sad state in which it finds itself today. Instead, most of those who called themselves "Catholics" then rejected the truths of the Bible and rejected the Catholic and Apostolic Tradition and instead, to their infamy, were all too ready to embrace an unCatholic New Order sect, with its invalid and unCatholic Mess and "Sacraments."
Good Catholics, we need to have trust in God and let Him do His work as He pleases. We, on the other hand, need to do our work of standing by Scripture and Tradition. If we do this, the situation will be corrected in due time, whether years, decades, or centuries. If we do not do this, the Church has not a prayer of correcting itself.
