            There are only a few institutions left in America that will tell you that life has inherent meaning, that a man wearing a dress is not a woman, that human beings have inherent dignity, that up is not down, that black is not white, that north is not south.

            You can be a traditional Catholic and go to Latin Mass without being a Sedevacantist. Even in the 14th century when there was confusion about who the real Pope was, they still didn't call each other heretics.

They fear a lot more than just losing Latin Mass. They've been saying things like how the current Vatican wants you to worship man as God and how you don't even know if the new saints declared are in hell or not so you could be contacting a demon.

They also say things like how God is putting manifest heretics in the Vatican on purpose to punish the church for not wanting to know the truth.

    As an American Orthodox Christian, I can say it's because we have no culture of our own. We are a land of mongrels where every culture comes to lose its culture. There is the faintest undercurrent of Christianity here, but it has no distinct cultural character. American protestantism has no cultural roots or tradition grounding it, so it invariably devolves into either prosperity theology or transforms into something indistinguishable from a radical political ideology. American Catholicism also has lost touch with its European roots. Orthodoxy is the only form of Christianity that has yet to be firmly embedded in the American cultural void, and thus retains a relatively pure and untainted tradition. It is a Christian tradition, so it is linked to the Christian undercurrent which remains in my American soul, but it has yet to be corrupted by rootless black hole that is American culture. It's in the process of being corrupted now, but I'm hoping that I'm getting in early enough to give my children something of a pure religious tradition they can carry with them.

        The theology itself is rooted in the writings of the early Church fathers. Unlike Catholism, the Orthodox Church had no supreme patriarch to modernize its theology and traditions over the centuries. It certainly isn't rooted in the fevor dream of some 19th century schizo grifter like many American protestant denominations.

          I've read the early Church fathers and I don't see how they prove Orthodoxy, especially Orthodoxy in its current or historical state. Augustine, for example, deviates heavily from Orthodox teaching and God allowed his teachings to become dominant among most Christians. Why not just be a Christian instead of cultishly attaching yourself to a specific denomination?

            Sedes are basically Anglicans or Lutherans from 500 years ago. Originally Protestantism that wasn't Calvinistic was basically Catholicism minus the Pope. Anglicanism eventually became more anti-High Church because of the influence of Puritanism.

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            The funny thing is though many Sedes believe in Predestination and being the chosen people but are pro high church. They believe in things like God personally arranging salvation and baptism and God giving them special graces that aren't given to other people that allow them to see the truth. They think that things like baptism of desire and invincible ignorance deny God's providence because to some of them, God personally arranges baptisms and conversions and gives special graces. Pic related is a Sede saying to thank God you are given special grace and also special grace to cooperate with that grace.

            Here are some statements as well:

            Could any statement from a Saint refute the heresy of salvation for the “invincibly ignorant” better? St. Isaac knew that those heathen who did not come to know the Catholic Faith and get baptized simply were not preordained for eternal life.

            Rather, as Catholics we believe in the true understanding of predestination, which is expressed by St. Isaac Jogues and Romans 8 above. This true understanding of predestination simply means that God’s foreknowledge from all eternity makes sure that those who are of good will and are sincere will be brought to the Catholic faith and come to know what they must – and that those who are not brought to the Catholic faith and don’t know what they must were not among the elect.

            Some of it's based on the doctrines of Father Feeney as well

            "Father Feeney supervised and gave his final approval to 'Reply to a Liberal' by Raymond Karam. '": "The only remedy against original sin is baptism, and all those whom God predestined to salvation, He draws them to this remedy. All the children who die unbaptized and all the adults who die ignorant of baptism, or who, having been drawn to it by God's Providence, refuse it, are not predestinate, but will perish eternally".

            So you don't care about God's word at all, yet you still claim to care about the state of our world? Salvation doesn't come from blindly going to any church, parish, whatever. Do you even read the Bible and take lessons from it? Do you have a genuine connection with the holy spirit? It doesn't sound like you do. God's kingdom is a heavenly one and not a material one, and if you're not willing to surrender yourself to our LORD and let him take the weight of our sin, all of your works are for nothing.

            But why Orthodox as opposed to Catholic or not identifying with one denomination?

            It's not stupid because language and aesthetics are important. It makes you feel far closer to God because you feel a holy reverence coming from heaven. English can sound holy and like angels too if reverent enough though.

            They are important, but no language is holier than another. It's very obvious that the ancient Roman Christians didn't think their own language was holy or anything special, it's only that people many centuries later then adopted the view that it was.

            They are important, but no language is holier than another. It's very obvious that the ancient Roman Christians didn't think their own language was holy or anything special, it's only that people many centuries later then adopted the view that it was.

            Reverence is also important.

            This is the type of music I like to hear. I don't like rock in church.

            I don't take church services with rock seriously myself. I think reverent, melodic singing in the vernacular language is best.

            I like a mix of Latin and English depending on what it is. I would want the priest to read and discuss the Bible in English and an exorcism in Latin for example.

      Chatolicism in English is terrible.
      Please keep this language in Anglican and protestant fields.

        You need to learn English then

          You should learn Latin or Italian.
          English kills each kind of catholic solemnity and austerity.

          It is fine for contemporary music, it might be fine for second-tier christian movements. It is ridicolous for catholic church.

            Latin or Italian is not any more sacred than Inuit. Sorry.

            Not sacred.
            It is about the feelings that some languages transmit.

            In the same way you do not use French to sound minaceous or German to sing about love.

            You can have Latin Mass but argue about documents in English. I don't see the contradiction here.

            I just never happened to read Catholic verses in English. This is my first time and I find it inadequate as it sounds like Christianity under vasectomy.

            How do you think reading the verses in English affected the Sedes? They're obsessed with dissecting the verses and documents. I wondered the effect of the English language on their psyche.

            Yes. But solemnity is all about games.

            Why is an altar more solemn than my kitchen table? They both serve the function.

            I understand what you're saying, but solemnity in the liturgy arises from the fact that you are dealing with sacred things -- with the Eucharist, which is the Body and Blood of Christ.

            Thomas Howard, 'Evangelical Is Not Enough' is a good short book on this subject.

            Why Latin? Orthodox do have a point, they use greek which was the original language of the New testament and the apostles. I for the life of me cannot understand the preference for Latin. Is it just because it sounds cool or something? Also the Septuagint is far older than the Vulgate, too.

            It's so much more powerful, especially when exorcising spirits. You can hear the power and supernatural force in the language.

            No you don't. This is the same argument Muslims make with Arabic and it's stupid.

            It's not stupid because language and aesthetics are important. It makes you feel far closer to God because you feel a holy reverence coming from heaven. English can sound holy and like angels too if reverent enough though.

            Well from a western perspective, culture. Latin is much closer than Greek.

            Yeah, the most authentic would be to just go with Aramaic.

            Aramaic doesn't sound as powerful when doing an exorcism or baptism.

            I'm sure screaming in German would be more powerful than any language, but that's not exactly very authentic.

            I can say that the orthodox have a point though, again, Septuagint, New Testament, written in Greek.

            Because it's further removed from early Christianity. And I'm not Orthodox.

    As for arguments about LARPing or not, I believe it's sincere but this is an interesting musing thought:

    It’s impossible today to be a genuine counter-revolutionary, and thus a genuine “traditional” (i.e., actual) Catholic. We live in a madhouse, a slaughterhouse, and one cannot live in a slaughterhouse without absorbing the stench. Those of us posturing as counter-revolutionaries, and thus as actual Catholics, are indeed merely posturing as such. We are all, to a greater or lesser extent, just pretenders. By our own efforts we are indeed doomed; only grace can save us.

    But there is lots of sincerity within these thoughts
