Sharing... the Quran?

Feast of St. Agnes, Virgin and Martyr

The pope of the Conciliar Church, Francis, told a group of refugees this past Sunday that
Sharing our experience in carrying that cross, to expel the illness within our hearts, which embitters our life: it is important that you do this in your meetings. Those that are Christian, with the Bible, and those that are Muslim, with the Quran. The faith that your parents instilled in you will always help you move on.
Considering the perverse doctrines contained within the Quran -- especially its Unitarian conception of a god and relegation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the status of a merely human prophet beneath Mohammed -- and the untold gallons of Catholic blood spilled by adherents of the book because of it, why would a man who at least claims to be the Bishop of Rome ask anyone to share "experience," making use of such a tome?

...oh, wait!  Who could forget the immortal words of Nostra Aetate, which states:
3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.  
Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems, this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom. 
Doesn't a document purportedly from an ecumenical council which blatantly contradicts reality make you feel better?

Sedeportuplenism

Feast of St. Marcellus I, Pope and Martyr

On the Our Lady's Resistance webpage Is the true Vicar of Christ in Portugal? an apparently new theory of papal occupancy has been advanced.  To wit:


Taking as true that Giuseppe Cardinal Siri was elected pope (Gregory XVII) in the 1958 conclave and Roncalli "elected" as a de facto anti-pope (John XXIII)afterward (the so-called "Siri Thesis"); further believing Cardinal Siri to have confirmed in private his belief in his own perduring papacy; further that Cardinal Siri took steps to ensure the continuity of the Petrine office (i.e. appointed cardinals) prior to his death; finally that a person has been elected by said cardinals and lives in Portugal, per Fatimist conclusions.

Such is the content of the new theory which we may label "sedeportuplenism" (the seat is occupied in Portugal) after the tradition of "sedeplenism" (the seat is occupied), "sedevacantism" (the seat is vacant), "sedeprivationism" (the so-called Thesis of Cassiciacum), and the recently developed "sedebenediciplenism" (the seat is occupied by Benedict XVI).  As a permutation of the Siri Thesis, we may say that all sedeportuplenists adhere to the Siri Thesis, but not everyone who adheres to the Siri Thesis is a sedeportuplenist.

More to follow.

Our Lady's Resistance: Anti-pope Francis and Adieu, Fr Pfeiffer

Feast of St. Paul, the First Hermit

Excerpt:


   Our primary reasons for turning away from this movement were recognized many months ago but only recently found completion. For many months now we have been concerned with Father Pfeiffer's unrelenting involvement with a man that has  a history of playing with the Devil by performing private exorcisms...
 ...However, putting all of this aside, we find in this movement the same convictions and invocation of the intellectual infidelities which have plagued the traditional movement since the white smoke turned into black on that fateful evening in 1958 when Satan took control of the Vatican. When Cardinal Siri was pushed aside in favor of an anti-pope. Since that time the minds of people have been wrestling to make sense of it all. Without prayer and without penance the scales cannot be removed from the eyes. Without sufficient and efficacious acts of piety...
 ... The SSPX, Father Pfeiffer and his company are posing as a conservative, anti Vatican II movement. They "believe" Francis I is pope yet they don't obey him.  They say Francis I is a heretic and Vatican II is heretical but Francis I is a true pope. They are saying Popes can be heretics!!
More comments are to follow.  Though it would appear that OLR has taken the "full sede plunge" saying the 1958 conclave rendered an anti-pope (JXXIII). Are they done with Fr. Pfeiffer specifically, or the American Resistance as such?
