[Greek] σχίσμα (schisma), [Latin] scissura, [Latin] scisma, [Latin] dissensio, [Latin] secta

[Greek] σχίσμα (schisma), [Latin] scissura, [Latin] scisma, [Latin] dissensio, [Latin] secta: split, division, tear, gap, division; Mt.9:16, Mk.2:21, Jn.7:43, Jn.9:16, Jn.10:19, 1Cor.1:10, 1Cor.11:18, 1Cor.12:25

The SSPX, seeking to make more consecrations, is now being called schismatic. Yet, homosexuality in the Church is OK. Let that sink in! The devil is at work in UNDERMINING the Church!

Background information:

Greek Hellenism: This term means division of opinion, leaving aside, split, division, shattering, separation, and fraction.

Herodotus’ The Histories 2.17: “We leave the Ionians’ opinion aside, and our own judgment about the matter is this: Egypt is all that country which is inhabited by Egyptians.”

Aeschylus’ Agamemnon 623: “It is not easy to conceal when true and good are split apart.”

Herodotus’ The Histories 7.219: “The Hellenes then took counsel, but their opinions were divided.”

Old Testament: This term means split, cleaving, division, break, tear, and a calling out.

New Testament: This term means tear and division.

Mt.9:16: “No one patches an old cloak with a piece of un-shrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse.” (This parable speaks of the unsuitability of attempting to combine the old and the new. Jesus’ teaching is not a patching up of Judaism, nor can the gospel be contained within the limits of the Mosaic Law. Jesus seeks to fulfill the Old Testament.)

Jn.7:43: “So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.” (Some thought that Jesus was the Messiah, a Prophet, a blasphemer, or a criminal.)

Jn. 9:16: “So some of the Pharisees said, ‘This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.’ Others said, ‘How can a sinful man do such signs?’ And there was division among them.” (Jesus’ words had confused and angered the Jews. Jesus healed a blind man on the sabbath. The Pharisees saw Jesus as a sinful man [not from God] who would break the sabbath law by performing this healing. The Pharisees even questioned if the man was originally blind.)

Jn.10:19: “Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.” (The Jews were disturbed by Jesus’ words in referring to God as His Father and laying down His life for His sheep. Some could not accept His teaching and walked away. Some said that Jesus was blasphemous or possessed.)

1Cor.11:18: “First of all, I hear that when you meet as a church there are divisions among you, and to a degree I believe it.” (Paul speaks to a spirit of discord and divisiveness in the Church. These pertain to different loyalties to ministers (Paul, Apollos or Peter), cliques/quarrels, and how the Lord’s Supper is celebrated.)

Archbishop Lefebvre vs. Vatican II (and Pope Paul VI):

Why did Archbishop Lefebvre form the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) in 1970? He sought to preserve the traditional Catholic faith, doctrine, and liturgy in response to the dangerous liberalizing changes following Vatican II.

Why did Archbishop Lefebvre consecrate his bishops? To maintain apostolic succession and the continuity of the Church’s leadership and traditional teachings.

What happened to the SSPX afterwards? This society expanded its network of priests, seminaries, and faithful worldwide in the decades to come. The SSPX were ultimately never deemed to be schismatic. The actions taken against the SSPX speak more about Vatican II’s proponents’ liberal and progressive ideology.

2026: the SSPX vs. Vatican II (and Pope Leo): why the SSPX are seeking to make new consecrations?

1. One must have obedience to the pope, but the pope cannot become a despot with power.
2. It is lawful to resist the Pontiff who attacks souls, destroys civil order, or tries to destroy the Church.
3. The SSPX’s action is a legitimate act of self-defense.
4. The SSPX is exercising a higher power of obedience to the Magisterium.
5. The SSPX must follow what has been handed down from the bishops.
6. If a contemporary command contradicts the Church’s ancient teaching, it loses authority.
7. Preservation of the TLM is at stake.
8. This action is NOT of schismatic rebellion.
9. This is supported by the 1983 Code of Canon Law Canon 1323.

The SSPX’s final theological answer against the Vatican II and Pope Leo:

1. The SSPX will be excommunicated by Pope Leo who welcomed the woman Archbishop of Canterbury, who authorized the blessing of Fiduica Supplicans and who kneeled before the Pachamama idol.
2. These are some serious “theological shots fired” against the Vatican II and Pope Leo.

Akita (1973): “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops opposing bishops. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.”

1. Cardinals and bishops oppose each other on Church teachings against homosexuality, moral character (chastity) vs. homosexuality proclivities of the priesthood.
2. Modernist/Synodalist clergy continue to oppose the laity’s desire to celebrate the TLM.
3. The laity continues to criticize the clergy who offend or cause scandal and who remain silent in responding to scandal and sacrilege.
4. Compromising moral standards (toleration, inclusion, and false compassion): Church teachings are often ignored, disregarded, or watered down.
5. The devil further influencing the clergy ===> undermining priestly celibacy ===> priests engaging in homosexuality ===> undermining the Church  ===> undermining God.
6. The papacies of Pope Francis and Pope Leo continued to be defined by doctrinal and liturgical confusion and ambiguity.

Bishop Ito, who formerly declared approval of the Akita apparitions, called Akita “an update of Fatima and its promise” (Let that sink in! It is also alleged that Fatima makes mention of an evil council within the Church!)

Fr. Gabriele Amorth, late chief-exorcist for Rome, recounts that Padre Pio once said to him in the 1960s: “You know, Gabriele? It is Satan who has been introduced into the bosom of the Church and within a very short time will come to rule a false church.’” —Quoted from “Chief Exorcist Father Amorth: Padre Pio Knew The Third Secret,” article at “One Peter Five” website.

Sect, dissension, dissent, scissors, schism, schismatic

Update: There are in fact over 45,000 Churches and denominations that exist in the world.

The old torn cloth relates to pouring new wine in an old wineskin. Since the old wineskin cannot further expand any more (due to fermentation), it will burst. The Old cannot contain the new. Jesus’ teachings surpass the Old Covenant.

Different interpretations of Jesus:

1. Some see the historical Jesus from the scripture: Jesus associated with sinners, but did NOT tolerate sinful behavior. Jn.8:11: Sin no more. Jn.8:12: whoever sins walks in darkness
2. Some see a tolerant Jesus “who gets us”: we must show tolerance, inclusion, and mercy for others. Let’s not stigmatize sinful behavior and let’s not pay too much attention about sin. Church’s teachings are so rigid.

Divisions within the Church:

1. Traditional Latin Mass (and Traditional Catholic teachings) vs. Novus Order Mass (and Synodality)
2. Implementing Traditiones Custodes vs. the laity’s wish for the TLM (Do the laity’s needs and desires actually matter anymore?)
3. So many “extra-ordinary” Eucharistic ministers, whether or not to have kneelers and receiving the Eucharist on the tongue.
4. Traditional Church teachings against homosexuality vs. outreach” of inclusion, tolerance, and false compassion for the LGBTQ community 
5. Traditional understanding of vocations vs. Synodal consideration of woman priests and women priests
6. What should be the primary mission of the Church? BRINGING SOULS INTO HEAVEN vs. MAKING A BETTER WORLD/SEEKING FAVOR WITH THE WORLD
7. “Outside the Church there is no salvation” vs. accommodating and seeking unity with other faiths OUTSIDE the Catholic Church (questionable synodal ecumenism)
8. Maintaining traditional Church ecclesiological authority vs. synodal sharing of clergy and laity sharing decision making authority
9. Appointing orthodox (non-scandalous and non-heretical) clergy vs appointing scandalous and pro-LGBTQ clergy
10. Traditional Catholic teachings on Mary vs. the Synodal downplaying of Mary’s status (in order to accommodate Non-Catholics)
11. Whether or not to insert cultural influences and pagan idols in the Mass
12. Should the Church focus itself only in spiritual issues vs. focus on immigration, social justice, environment, and politics
13. Whether or not Vatican II Church leadership will do anything to discourage the large percentage of homosexuality in the priesthood.

Some traditionally minded clergy (Bishop Strick, Bishop Schneider, Cardinal Burke, Cardinal Mueller, Bishop Eleganti) are often not surprisingly seen as “divisive” according to the Synodal Church.

Yet again, the Marian apparition message of Akita (and Fatima) have come true. Shocker! I would wouldn’t want to be a betting person betting against Mary!

What is the huge take-away from the Marian apparition of Akita?  The devil is at work in UNDERMINING God, God’s laws, the Church, clergy, laity and the culture. THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED!

Clergy engaging in the homosexual lifestyle: ===> undermining the priest’s vocation of celibacy ===> undermining the priesthood. This is something that Satan would greatly approve of. Let that sink in.

There continues to be divisive views about the purpose of ICE (arresting Illegals and criminals) and sanctuary cities policies (allowing illegals and criminals to remain in the cities).

“There is nothing more serious than the sacrilege of schism because there is not just cause for severing the unity of the Church.” St. Augustine

“It is impossible to restore peace if the cause of the schism is not previously removed, and the Pope, who is declared to be equal to Go, does not come to self-realization.” St. Mark of Ephesus

“The world and the world to come are two enemies. We cannot therefore be friends to both; but we must decide which we will forsake and which we will enjoy.” Pope Clement I
