DAGGER JOHN

Dagger John died in January 3, 1864. The Vatican I Council wasn’t convoked by Pope Pius IX until June 29, 1868…

The general populace, including the dominant protestants, had no fear at all for the pre-Vatican II pope’s and clergy back then. The First Vatican Council hadn’t even been convened at that point.

After a period of planning and preparation that began on 6 December 1864, the twentieth ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, held three centuries after the Council of Trent, opened on 8 December 1869 and adjourned on 20 October 1870…

Pius IX, as well as the council fathers, were crystal clear, that if the Papacy were to lose the temporal authority, it would be nothing less than to overturn and destroy the work of God…

Behold the words of our humble Angelic Pope:

“We are determined to retain all the dominions of this Holy See and its rights whole, entire, and unviolated, and to transmit them to Our successors. We declare all usurpations to be unjust, violent, null, and void. We announce now that any acts committed by Our enemies and invaders to confirm these usurpations-either at the present time or in the future- are condemned by Us and null and invalid. Furthermore, We protest before God and the whole Catholic world that while detained in such captivity, We are unable to exercise Our supreme pastoral authority safely, expediently, and freely…

We declare openly, mindful of Our office and Our oath, that We will never assent to a conciliation or an agreement which in any way may destroy or diminish Our rights and therefore those of God and the Holy See. In like manner We confess that for the Church of Christ We are prepared, with the help of divine grace, to drink to the dregs that cup which the Lord first deigned to drink for Her. We will never accept and obey unjust demands which are presented to Us.

And indeed as Our predecessor Pius VII said:

“To do violence to this highest power of the Apostolic See, to disjoin its temporal authority and its spiritual power, to disassociate, separate by force and cut off the duties of Pastor and Prince, is nothing less than to overturn and destroy the work of God. It is nothing less than to attempt to inflict the greatest damage on religion and to deprive it of its most effective defense. Then the highest Ruler of the Church would be unable to offer help to the Catholics spread all over the earth, who request his help and support because of his spiritual power.”

Our Angelic Pope Pius IX goes on to say in:

Inter Multiplices
Pleading for Unity of Spirit
Pope BI. Pius IX – 1853

7. “Now you know well that the most deadly foes of the Catholic religion have always waged a fierce war, but without success, against this Chair; they are by no means ignorant of the fact that religion itself can never totter and fall while this Chair remains intact, the Chair which rests on the rock which the proud gates of hell cannot overthrow[5] and in which there is the whole and perfect solidity of the Christian religion.”

“…while this Chair remains intact,…” He said…

But the Chair cannot remain intact without the temporal authority…

It is not the Chair that the gates will never overthrow, but the foundation it rests upon, the Rock itself…

And a careful review of Church history will show this. The See of Rome no longer remained infallible after the death of Pope Pius IX. We lost the Papacy when we lost the Papal States.

But the purveyors of this modern ‘catholicanity’ that we have seen take shape over the last 140 years, up to our present time, have given us this Vatican 2ew church, which bears no resemblance to real Catholicity…

And the “traditionalists” would have us return to pre-vatican II theology with a bastardized Latin liturgy, as if that will somehow deliver us all from the impending doom that looms over the heads of all of humanity, and save us from the Babylonian harlot…

The harsh reality is that we have a heretic on the Vatican City State Stool, because there in no Papacy in Rome…

You cannot have a Catholic Papacy without temporal authority.
