Question: Hi, What are your thoughts on Most Holy Family Monastery? {url omitted} Some of their information seems good, some of it seems radical.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Mary: The Most Holy Family Monastery is most unholy. It is dissenting and rebellious sect that thinks it knows better than the Holy See. They reject Vatican II and cling to what I honestly think is mental illness -- sede vacantism (they think the Chair of Peter is currently empty and that every Pope since John XXIII was a heretic and an anti-pope). These people are not in communion with the Church, have formed their own private church in protest (the very definition of Protestantism) and are lunatics. The FIRST measure of Tradition is OBEDIENCE -- something these people lack completely. Their website and materials ought to be ignored completely. They have nothing to offer the Faithful.

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Mary:

The Most Holy Family Monastery is most unholy. It is dissenting and rebellious sect that thinks it knows better than the Holy See. They reject Vatican II and cling to what I honestly think is mental illness -- sede vacantism (they think the Chair of Peter is currently empty and that every Pope since John XXIII was a heretic and an anti-pope).

These people are not in communion with the Church, have formed their own private church in protest (the very definition of Protestantism) and are lunatics.

The FIRST measure of Tradition is OBEDIENCE -- something these people lack completely.

Their website and materials ought to be ignored completely. They have nothing to offer the Faithful.

God Bless,
