Quick Update

[goldenchild17]

Yeah this isn't to be a long drawn out thing. Just wanted to let ya'll know that I'm now discerning between marriage and becoming a teaching brother/monk for the Religious Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen. So just wanted to ask for prayers for that, and for the doctrinal issues that I'm having as well, thank you.

But I thought that congregation was not in communion with Rome.

The CMRI are not in communion in Rome nor do they believe that any pope since Pius XII is a validly elected pope.
If you enter there the salvation of your soul is at great risk. There are many good religious orders in the Church without having to go there.
My prayers for you!

[brandelynmarie]

my prayers are with you goldenchild17!

Pray to the Holy Spirit of Truth.....

[cmotherofpirl]

Remember Goldenchild we can decide we must understand, before we choose to believe, but we can also trust God and believe before we are granted the understanding.
May God grant you boundless faith.

Please consider looking and doing some go-see type visits with some of the following. As a convert I can promise you that what everyone else is searching for, can be found right here within our Church. Whether it be in Latin, English, facing the altar, away from it, nothing changes our faith....Our Lord is really and truly present in Eucharist and in the end, is there anything else that we should want or need?

Fathers of Mercy
Dominicans [Sister Mary-Catharine, don't they teach too? ]

As far as monk/brothers
Benedictines of Clear Creek
CFR [they teach by their very lives!]


Who else knows of good solid Orders that will help this young man in his goal?

Trust in the Lord to guide you as you discern your future.I will pray for you.

To think that a year ago I was accepted and almost went to their minor seminary. Now I am convinced I have found the fullness of the Truth- Jesus Christ and His mystical Body, the Church.

CMRI does not have monks. They have brothers and priests. There are many traditional orders and communities to choose from- that aren't sedevacantist or schismatic. Please consider them and pray hard. One day you'll realize- as I did- the problems with sedevacantism and schism.

The sedevacantist position is condemned by dogmatic Councils and statements, as well as common sense.

Be careful. Be holy.

I know. They aren't in communion with Rome. That's one of the main reasons I'm considering them. Like I said, pray for my theological/heretical issues to, because that's why I'm considering them.

I agree. Faith before understanding always. I don't think we can ever understand everything God has placed before us.

Yeah thanks for the clarification. That's what I would be considering - a teaching brother.

As it stands right now I see it as the most faithful position. Will that change in the future? Possibly. But for now I can only consider something that I feel is the most faithful to God's Holy Catholic Church. But yes, prayer is essential.

[quote name='brendan1104' post='1079180' date='Sep 29 2006, 01:19 PM']The sedevacantist position is condemned by dogmatic Councils and statements, as well as common sense. [/quote]
It is especially because I believe that the position is not outlawed by anything in the Church that I accept it. If I knew it was forbidden as a possibility by past teachings I would reject it wholeheartedly.


But I can't go into it any further as dUST hasn't allowed this kind of discussion yet. If you want to know more you should be able to find my email addy in my profile. Otherwise let's just keep it at what it is, prayers for moi because that's what I need .

Thanks.

[williamb]

Now I'm beiginning if this whole thread was a troll of some sort.

[goldenchild17]

Why would you think that? Now that I think about it, it probably would've been better to put this in the prayer forum so the doctrinal issues didn't have to be discussed.

I'll find exact quotes later- but Vatican I dogmatically stated that the papacy- Peter's seat would have perpetual successors. How can we be without a pope for almost 50 years? If that's true I might as well go get consecrated a bishop...

This it? Vatican I, Session 4, Chapter 2:
[quote]...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 anathema.[/quote]

I'm not allowed to debate my position on the board. I don't want to get banned or suspended so let's leave it alone. Suffice it to say I believe we will always have popes until the end of the world. I don't believe all options for a valid election have been exhausted yet and I do believe we will have a real pope, possibly soon. But I'm on a much shorter leash than you all are. You all, it seems, are given more leeway in what you can and cannot say. I am not given this flexibility, so I cannot respond at this time. Not to mention that the vocations board is totally not the right place to bring it up even if it were a topic allowed up for discussion on Phatmass.

I'm really impressed by your respect of phorum rules and guidelines. It shows respect for all of us--thank you. Let's just say that we'll pray the Lord's Prayer for you that His will be done --no matter what it is! I think we can all agree on that!

Blessings!
