Question:

Hi again forgot to ask this the last time. Met a nun who claimed to be a part of the true catholic church led by pope pius the 13th. Whats up with that I thought the whole anti pope thing went out with the middle ages.

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Rain:

This is not my day. This is the second time today that a answer to a question I was typing mysteriously disappeared on me. I had the answer to your question done and was about to press the SUBMIT button when it disappeared. I must be on the devil's hit list today.

Anyway, here goes again.

The "nun" you met is not a member of the True Catholic Church. She is a member of a schismatic nut-group, sedevancantists, who thinks that the Chair of Peter has been vacant since 1958.

The "True" Catholic Church is the Church under the leadership and authority of the Pope, who is now Pope Benedict XVI. Anyone who formally denies the Pope Benedict XVI's authority is automatically excommunicated according to Canon Law (CIC 751, 1364).

This "True Catholic Church" as they call themselves, as mentioned, believes that every Pope since 1958 was a heretic and an anti-pope. That means that Popes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I and John Paul II are all considered by them to be heretics and anti-popes. They say the same thing about Pope Benedict XVI. These people are are TRUE NUTS, not True Catholics.

This alleged "pope" I guess lives in hiding. The website of this nut-group states:

As the Vatican is now under the control of the non-Catholic Vatican II sect, Pope Pius XIII will maintain residence at an as-yet undisclosed location.

The headquarters of this weird and nutty anti-Catholic group is in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know what it is about those wide open skies and deep forests, but there sure a lot of crackers who like to settle there.

I am beginning to think that the wide open skies and deep forests tend to make mush out of people's brains. :)

Seriously, we need to be in prayer for this misguided "nun" and for this whole wacko group that they may be enlightened to their error and may throw off the delusional glasses that Satan as given them, and that they be healed of the arrogance and pride that would rival the devil himself in their pontification of the Chair of Peter as vacant and their election of a anti-Pope.

God bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
