Blessed Pope Pius IX, instigator of Papal Infallibility???

[Maria]

Yes, the instigator of Papal Infallibility and Papal Supremacy has recently been declared to be a "BLESSED" in Roman Catholicism.

This means that within a few years, the Pope who called Vatican I and mandated that all bishops must agree with his doctrine of Papal Infallibility or lose their dioceses could be infallibly declared a SAINT of the Roman Catholic Church. How ironic!

And World Orthodoxy wants to have unity with the Roman Catholic Church?

It is interesting, in this passage, that John XXIII spontaneously thinks of Pius IX after outlining the virtues necessary for a saintly soul (and shepherd):

Code: Select all

The maxim “Know thyself” suffices for my spiritual serenity and keeps me on the alert.  The secret of my success must lie there: in not “searching into things which are above my ability” and in being content to be “meek and humble of heart.”  Meekness and humbleness of heart give graciousness in receiving, speaking and dealing with people, and the patience to bear, to pity, to keep silent and to encourage.  Above all, one must always be ready for the Lord’s surprise moves, for although he treats his loved ones well, he generally likes to test them with all sorts of trials such as bodily infirmities, bitterness of soul and sometimes opposition so powerful as to transform and wear out the life of the servant of God, the life of the servant of the servants of God, making it a real martyrdom. [b] I always think of Pius IX of sacred and glorious memory and, by imitating him in his sufferings, I would like to be worthy to celebrate his canonization.[/b]  (Journal, p. 299, between 29 Nov. and 5 Dec. 1959)[/quote]

Thank you, Maria, I had not heard this in the midst of all the media ballyhoo about the imminent "canonizations" of Popes John Paul II
and John XXIII. Nauseating.

Note : John XXIII was grandiose in his proclaiming of congruency with his mid-19th century predecessor.
After all, what did John XXIII suffer ? Maybe personal problems, but nothing on the scale of the loss to the enitre
Catholic Church endured by Pius IX. Huge amounts of territory controlled by the Catholic Church were usurped by secular and Masonic-minded Italian armies in an unprecedented land grab.
That Pope had to flee the Vatican, as I recall reading. It was a big disaster, but not of his making.

John XXIII, a big ecumenist who supported shared worship and contacts with Protestants, himself did in
the Catholic Church by presiding over notorious Vatican II Council.
His sufferings at the very most could have centered on fear of exposure of his own Masonic membership....

Indeed, Roncalli alias John XXXIII and Woytila alias John Paul II were notorious apostates from all Christian Faith as Bergoglio alias Francis.

[Barbara]

The last named was the worst, by far, of any Pope ever, don't you think ?
Then the first-named was next out of the 3 you named, Archimandrite in terms of being horrible ;
with the middle-named as the least of a terrible collection.

The media has ALREADY canonized the last-named. Do you notice, he is lauded every day just about ?
No previous Vatican II Pope has received anything like this drooling coverage.

A very interesting document about Pius IX (Mastai Ferreti) and his connection with the Italian freemasonry. Yes, he has promoted the Papal Infallibility and Suprematy over all Local (Roman Catholic) Churches worldwide. He he is also a precursor of the great debacle in the Roman Church with the introduction of ecumenism and friendship with the ennemis of all Christian faith, also with the freemasonry, by Roncalli alias John XXIII, Montini alias Paul VI, Woytila alias John Paul II, Ratzinger alias Benedict XVI and Bergoglio alias Francis. Only with the introduction of the infallibility and supreamty it's was possible to destruct the Roman Church from the highest point (from the papapcy) from top to bottom, to destroy all old structures (and Orthodox elements) and to lead this Church to the great a p o s t a s y from all Christian faith. ( see the actions of Bergoglio alais Francis!)

When we speak about Pius IX (Mastai Ferretti) and his machinations for the Infallibility of the Popes we must mention the great opponent against the Papal Infallibility and Supremacy Josip Juray Strossmayer (1815-1905), Bishop of Diakovo (Croatia). We give here his speak given on the so called First Vatican Council of the Roman Church 1870. Later unfortunately he has subjected these false doctrines of this bogus-council. But his speak with Patristic arguments against these false doctrines is nevertheless remarkable.

Pio Nono, as he was known at that time period, was connected with Freemasonry ??
I never had imagined such a possibility.
I will have to check the documents you provided, Archimandrite.

Too, we must think carefully. If their site does claim that Pius IX had a link to Italian Masons, how can we believe them ?
Surely the Masons want to present themselves as all-powerful, even over a strong Pope like
Pius IX.

I was just looking up Gallicanism last week : this is the principle which goes against
Papal Supremacy. There isn't much available on the internet, but I got some sense
of the history. Gallicans would support French ecclesiastical figures over Papal policies
and ignore even direct orders from the Vatican.
There are just 2 parishes remaining : Paris and Bordeaux. It is not a strong movement at all
apparently.

I had never heard of this Croatian Bishop ! Good finding. Have to look at that one too [easier to
read than the freemasonry site !!!]
