Ask a Traditionalist / Re: Being a good godparent

Last post by Bonaventure - Today at 12:16:18 PM

I was recently asked and served as the godparent for a friend's child.  This is my first godchild.

What do you usually do as part of being a godparent?  Annual gifts?  Daily prayer?  Is it weird to have Masses said for the child? 

What do you all normally do?

Pray as often as I can.

Give money as often as I am available.

My godson is family and in a NO family. My goddaughter is trad but the family moved and lives far away.

This.

We waited 3 weeks only because my wife was bed bound after the C Section. Would have been way sooner if she were not sliced open.

As soon as practically possible with the priest.  Usually within 2 weeks (but most often sooner).  Don't do what one of my in -laws did and wait till the baby is old enough to take good pictures. And don't wait a few months till the priest makes you take catecetichal courses or something g similar either.  Now that Easter is past they won't make you wait till Easter either.  But any priest who's serious will baptize ASAP

Whether the NO Mass is valid or not, it certainly seems as if the NO rite for consecrating bishops is invalid.  (See other thread)

Whether the NO Mass is valid or not, if there are no more Bishops, soon there won't be any more priests.

Which would mean that the Church of Jesus Christ has defected, which is an impossibility.

No. It would mean that the Conciliar Church, with its fake bishops and non-ordained priests, is not the Catholic Church.

But a mass promulgated by the same church and hierarchy that gives spiritual harm to the Faithful would not mean it has defected?

When is it appropriate to baptize the newborn (i.e. time after birth)?

The Sedevacantist Thesis / Would you attend these Masses?...

Last post by Bonaventure - Today at 11:39:18 AM

It's 1985, and a Sunday. Archbishop Lefebvre is down the street saying a Low Mass, no sermon, and ostensibly saying Mass "una cum JP2." 

It's 2024. A retired, 90 year old diocesan priest, who was ordained in 1964, is saying Mass on Sunday. This Mass is the only nearby Mass within 6 hours travel. The priest is 100% orthodox and is completely opposed to the Novus Ordo, V2, etc.  Said priest tried to do his best within the diocesan framework, and for his efforts was never given a real assignment and made a hospital chaplain his entire career. Little by little, he came to slowly reject the V2 changes, but this took decades.  Said priest publicly tells people, I think it is hugely possible and even likely that all of the conciliar popes have been impostors, that one day the Church will decide, that I don't want to make the decision. I simply personally don't agree with formal SVism for x, y, or z. He tells people that he has doubts as to Bergoglio's papacy, but he is afraid to omit this name because if he is wrong, he'd be schismatic and sinning. (FYI, this is all based off a real life example of a priest I know).

Would you attend these Masses? In the scenario, these are the only Masses you can avail of. It's either go to these, or stay home.
