I used to like CM. Mrs Kreitzer has shown me the error of my ways. You may read her entire dossier of articles that convinced me here.From Les Femmes

Just when you think Church Militant (CM) can't sink any lower, they prove there's no bottom to their sewer.
I can't find anything on the internet indicating that Bishop Strickland has said the SSPX is in schism. I'll call the chancery on Monday and ask. As a matter of fact, you often see Bishop Strickland grouped with Bishop Rene Gracida, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, and others who defend the SSPX. As for Benedict, he's the one who lifted the excommunication of the SSPX bishops which was a canonically flawed act. Yes, their situation is irregular. NO, THEY ARE NOT IN SCHISM!
Voris is not a canon lawyer. He has absolutely no authority to determine that anyone is or is not in schism. He only interviews canon lawyers like John Salza, the former 32nd degree Mason, who supports his hate-on for the SSPX. Canon lawyers with more measured opinions, like Fr. Gerald Murray who defended the canonical status of those attending SSPX chapels in his 1995 thesis at the Gregorian University in Rome. Unfortunately, Fr. Murray's dissertation was never published in full, but has only been referred to in articles with excerpts.
Voris and his crew hate the SSPX for reasons unknown. It may have to do with large donations they received to keep their show afloat a number of years ago. (See the sidebar with our page on Church Militant and the SSPX.) Voris has apparently made it his lifetime work to slander and defame not only the SSPX but other Catholics in media apostolates who promote the Traditional Latin Mass. LifeSiteNews and John Henry Weston as well as Michael Matt and the Remnant have become particular targets. There is absolutely no balance at CM, nor is there an ounce of humility. If they say it, even if they lie; it's true. After all, they are the only authentic Catholic media out there. Just ask them.
And really... going on a cruise and listening to Michael Voris blather non-stop for a week is a pre-Lenten RETREAT? Please! Call it a conference. It's really just a chance for the CM big guns, Voris and Niles, and their CM sycophants to get their annual free vacation with attention from their adoring fans. I'm ashamed of any priest who would participate in that circus and stroke the egos of Voris and Niles. It may very well be a danger to their eternal salvation! Only little, humble people get into heaven as Fr. John Hardon often warned.
I've been staying away from CM, but when the Voris tweet popped up in my email I was so disgusted I decided to respond. CM is beneath contempt they need to be called out! Pray for them even if you have to hold your nose from the stench rising out of their sewer.
I’m going on the CM cruise in February. It is a mini-retreat with great talks about living the faith. One time the focus was on the Blessed Virgin Mary, other times, it’s another aspect of the faith.
ReplyDeleteThe CM are always very careful about what they publish, and are often the first ones to break a story.
This essay is revolting, and doesn’t fit at all with what I know about CM.
Did you bother to check the link that documents their lies, slanders, calumnies, blackmail, & distortions? I thought not. Brainwashing is a very sad thing & you're obviously a victim. I will pray for you.
