The Fatal Folly Of “Recognize & Resist”

A return to the email inbox on this episode of What Catholics Believe.  Many topics are discussed:  • Is the clerical pedophilia today in the church unprecedented?  • How the Recognize & Resist (R&R) is poisonous.  • Are canonizations infallible?  • When do we have to follow the teachings of the church?  • When is the church infallible?  • Why Jansenism and how dangerous it is for traditional Catholics.  • What to make of the Syro-Malabar Rite which has no prayer of institution and no tabernacle.  • A word on abortion.

Part 1: Will "Artificial Intelligence" become the Antichrist?

This is the first part of a two part What Catholics Believe, where Tom and Fr. Jenkins answer emails:  Will the Antichrist be like A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)?  • How does one incorporate injuries and illnesses in our daily lives into penance as asked in the Gospels?  • Were Fr. Malachi Martin, Fr. Gabriele Amorth, and Fr. McKenna true priests and were their exorcisms valid?  • What is the Little Rosary of the Immaculate Heart of Mary that St. Alphonsus Liguori mentions in the Glories of Mary?  • Is the Novus Ordo Missae not licit but still the valid sacrifice of Calvary?  • and lastly, Fr. Jenkins comments on the newest interview (http://tiny.cc/Salzburger) with Fr. Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X.

Remembering Father O'Connor

A return to email questions.  Tom asks Fr. Jenkins the following: What is Opus Dei besides the brain trust of the Novus Ordo? (Fr. Jenkins asks listeners to send more information on the secretive group.) Who was Fr. John O’Connor and how is what he did any different from what the SSPX is doing today?  What can the laity do to help exorcize Francis and the Novus Ordo church?  Does the SSPV say the 1958 Mass or the pre-1955 Mass and why?

Stay tuned after the credits for a brief clip of Fr. John O’Connor, O. P. from an old episode of What Catholics Believe. For those interested on the programs he appeared a playlist has been created on the youtube channel. It can also be found by typing in this address: http://tiny.cc/FrOConnor

Archbishop Lefebvre at Vatican II

Tom and Fr. Jenkins return to answer viewers emails: did any bishop at the Second Vatican Council hold to the Faith; how do traditional Catholic convents and seminaries run in times such as these; what is supplied jurisdiction; and lastly, what changes were made in the Holy Week and why?

Francis Betrays Chinese Catholics

Father Jenkins returns to answering emails: is it correct to avoid attending Mass offered by a sedevacantist priest out of fear of offending Our Lord; how does one leave the Novus Ordo and become a Catholic; what is John Paul II's 'theology of body'; and what happens to unbaptized children whom were miscarried.  Tom and Fr. Jenkins then discuss who is a 'child of God'.  Lastly, the dialogue turns towards the recent agreement between the Vatican and the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association with emphasis on how this parallels Bp. Fellay's statement in early September that, "the modern church recognizes us as Catholics."
