TLM Shutdown

[Michael Wilson]

What will an imperfect Council achieve when there are no Catholics left in the Vatican? 

It will set the ball rolling for the deposition of Francis and the coming out of the woods of those who still do have the faith.
3 Kings 19. 18. After the Prophet Elias complained that all the people in Israel had apostasied and worshipped Baal, God told him.

18 And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.

We cannot lose faith that God is still in charge, and that the Church is not a human but a divine institution; as bleak as things look, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary will come sooner or later.
So there is more opposition growing to Pope Francis every day; the Italian Episcopate just elected as the head of their conference a bishop that was dismissed from the CDF by Francis for first opposing his measures to restrict the TLM and then for opposing his permission to bless Sodomites.

Scandal will be ended for a lot of Catholics.  Many will confidently say that Bergoglio is not the Pope.  This will also help in talking with potential converts.  Furthermore in the secular world you'll get push back everytime the Vatican pronounces a new heresy, as opposing media will remind everyone that Bergoglio is not the Pope.

St. Robert Bellarmine called it prudent to have a council confirm a Pope is an heretic to avoid scandal, even though he held it was not needed to declare a person an heretic.

a heretic*

I got two "an heretic's" in a single sentence.  That's skill right there.

It hurts my brain

Get out of here with that igloo English!

Excuse me, but when I was growing up back in the day, we were always taught to say 'an' before any word beginning with an 'h', as in 'an hotel', or 'an heretic'.

However, it does look and sound a bit strange, despite being once taught as 'proper' English.

oui

[Acolyte]

"an" before a word that begins with a vowel is what I was taught. Only exception is when a word begins with a consonant that is pronounced as a vowel.

For example, hour.

Precisely. You know, normal English.

"Vulgar English," in the ancient Latin sense of the term

[awkward customer]

Saying "an heretic" is not nearly annoying as using the expression "I could care less" when what you mean is "I couldn't care less".

Think about it, you Americans who started this abomination.

Maybe not relevant to the thread but supremely annoying.

[james03]

We Americans maintain the British Imperial System of measurements.  The Brits have gone over to the globalist metric system, an horrible system.

Fill your cars with the undersized liter, and choose between a kilopascal and a megapascal.  We'll continue with common sense.

[awkward customer]

Imperial units are ridiculous and so is using the Fahrenheit scale.

[james03]

Metric is clown world.

For drawings you have to use either the meter or the millimeter.  For flow rates you have to use cubic meters, way too big.  For pressure you have to use the tiny kilopascal or the enormous megapascal.  A lot of people have given up and use the non-standard "bar".  Metric is gay.

The only good units are centigrade (Fahrenheit is probably too fine) and viscosity, though you are supposed to use "Poise", the standard is to use "centipoise".

Fahrenheit is retarded. Freezing is 32? Yeah ok Jim-Bob whatever you say
