Ripperger composed is entitled "Consecration of One's Exterior Goods to the Blessed Virgin Mary." It is a beautiful prayer in which one gives and entrusts the protection of one's exterior goods, including health, finances, relationships, possessions, property, and career over to Our Blessed Mother's care and disposal. [1] I would add here that there are sometimes disagreements about what those dogmas mean, and such disagreements are also legitimate subjects for debate. {19:5} Upon hearing these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. In practice, this is not a matter of a rare doubt, but a blanket ideology that de facto wipes away anything new or different proposed by the Magisterium since Cardinal Angelo Roncalli was elected to the papacy as John XXIII in 1958.

Ripperger made the comments in a sermon delivered during the 7:30 a.m. BUT, I just wish someone could explain to me WHY St. Pius X chose to use this sort of rhetoric against the heretics of his time (using expressions which, unfortunately, and through no fault of the Saint, coincide with the language that is in vogue among traditionalist conspiracy theorists 100 years later, thus making it oh so convenient for them to adopt the Saints encyclical as part of their theories). In theological disputes, Catholics acknowledge that the Roman Magisterium has the right to intervene to settle the debate, either definitively by a dogmatic definition, or tentatively (but still authoritatively) through non-infallible teaching documents, such as papal encyclicals. Ripperger tells us only to trust the teaching of the Popes when they meet the condition for Papal Infallibility. When the faithful take it upon themselves to judge the orthodoxy of papal teaching, they often disagree among themselves about what is in continuity with Tradition and what isnt. We are told to be vigilant against his attacks, snares and temptations.

And as Grant himself has said (in his interview with Taylor Marshall), manifest heretics including Popes are no longer members nor heads of the Church. I can almost understand how a traditionalist-leaning person of today, who does not understand the dogmas of Vatican One and the teachings of St. Robert Bellarmine (which you and Dr. Fastiggi have been working hard to bring to our attention) could read these words of St. Pius X and could get the impression that, if it is possible for modernists to be so hidden, so widespread, so master-minded, and so successful in their mischief as Pius X says they are, then it is also possible for them to achieve some sort of defection of the church by taking over Vatican Two and the papacy. And that last part is the heresy of conciliarism. For example, in Rippergers mind, when the Council addressed the matter of religious liberty, the thesis was the traditional Catholic claim that error has no rights. The antithesis was the claim of Enlightenment thinkers that religious truth was relative and objectively unknowable. Posted by Fr.

Ripperger and Grant give the example of Pope St. Nicholas I, who taught that apart from the Trinitarian formula one could simply baptize in nomine Christi, (in the name of Christ), which was clearly against the tradition. There it is, right there. Okay. The Second Vatican Council teaches that the foundation of religious freedom is nothing less than Scripture and Tradition.

Ripperger clearly rejects the Benedict principle. This is the hidden goal, unconsciously sought by conservatives on the far right, to convince the flock not to trust any Pope or Council, nor any teaching of the Magisterium, so that they will listen only to the conservative leaders. To the contrary, the charism of truth and never failing faith not only protects the Pope from material and formal heresy, but guarantees that his non-infallible teachings cannot err to a grave extent.
