I read about this guy Richard Williamson who is a member of a group called Society of St. Pius X. Now, I'm a practicing Catholic and I have NEVER heard of this group before in my life. Apparently, from what I've read, the Catholic Church does not recognize their authority (as a group) or their practices. To me, that means that they are not Catholic. Despite that, they somehow manage to follow the Catholic rites of Mass and everything. Even their bishops and priests dress like Catholic priests but if they're not recognized by the Vatican, then how can they be Catholic? I then read about about a group called the Army of Mary. Talk about people who are off their rocker. I'm trying to find a comprehensive list of sects that seceded specifically from the Catholic Church.

Within full communion with the Vatican are 23 Rites. There are two groups not in full communion but share the Eucharist which are the Polish National Catholic Church and the Oriental Catholic Church. There are also the Old Catolic groups who separated from the Church after Vatican I over Papal infallibility under various names and various orthodoxy. We may see many more groups come under the Vatican see with Pope Benedict using the institutions of prelature to bring them home and out of schism.

In Christ

Note:

Opus Dei is in full communion with the Vatican as a Prelature with 87,000 members.

An ultraconservative society threw out an Italian priest Friday after he expressed doubts about the Holocaust, news reports said.

The Italian branch of the Society of St. Pius X said it expelled the Rev. Floriano Abrahamowicz to prevent its image from being distorted, the ANSA and Apcom news agencies said, citing a statement from the society.

The Vatican rehabilitated four excommunicated bishops from the society last month, sparking outrage since one of them, British Bishop Richard Williamson, said he did not believe any Jews were gassed during the Holocaust.

Abrahamowicz had defended Williamson and also expressed doubts about the extent of the Holocaust in remarks to La Tribuna di Treviso, a newspaper in northern Italy.

In the interview, which he said later he stood by, he said he knew gas chambers existed to disinfect but that "I can't say if anybody was killed in them or not."

Yes indeed.
In the Church's eagerness to reconcile doctrinally those Bishops of the Society of St Pius the 10th,
it neglected to investigate the ignorant sayings of some of the Bishops in what they said about the Holocaust.

The present Pope, in his eagerness to establish unity within our Church, and without his intending it, he ended up doing some real damage in its need to be reconciled with the Jewish Community. We need a hell of a lot more ssensitivity

"Never again" the Holocaust!

Hope this helps,

Pope Welcomes Holocaust-Denying Bishop Back After Excommunication
Posted in radical traditionalist Catholic by Heidi Beirich on January 26, 2009


Saturday’s decision by Pope Benedict XVI to revoke the excommunication of four schismatic bishops affiliated with the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has ignited a firestorm among Jewish community leaders here and abroad. SSPX was founded in 1970 by the late French archbishop, Marcel-François Lefebvre, after Lefebvre rejected the Vatican II reforms that enacted several liberalizing and modernizing reforms within the church.

The anger has centered on the Pope’s decision to lift the excommunication of Holocaust denier and SSPX Bishop Richard Williamson, an Englishman who runs the SSPX seminary in La Reja, Argentina. Just a few days before the Pope issued his decision, Williamson appeared on Swedish television claiming that the Nazis did not use gas chambers to murder people. “I believe that the historical evidence is strongly against — is hugely against — 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler,” he said in the interview. “I believe there were no gas chambers,” he added.

This is not something new for Williamson, even if the Nazis’ use of gas chambers to exterminate Jews and others is universally accepted by all credible World War II historians. In 1989, Williamson gave a speech to a Canadian church in which he decried the alleged persecution of Holocaust denier and neo-Nazi Ernst Zundel by the Canadian government. Williams, who was then rector of SSPX’s main North American seminary in Winona, Minn., told his audience: “There was not one Jew killed in the gas chambers. It was all lies, lies, lies.”

Jewish leaders have strongly denounced the Pope’s decision. “We are stunned that the Vatican has ignored our concerns by welcoming back into the fold a bishop who denies the Holocaust and rejects the seminal reforms of Vatican II,” wrote Abraham Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League, on the group’s website. “This decree sends a terrible message to Catholics around the world that there is room in the Church for those who would undermine the Church’s teachings and who would foster disdain and contempt for other religions, particularly Judaism. Given the centuries-long history of anti-Semitism in the Church, this is a most troubling setback.” Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee told CNN the move by the Roman Catholic Church was “shameful.”

What hasn’t been widely remarked upon in this controversy is the fact that SSPX as a whole, which has chapels and schools across the United States and in several other countries, is a font of anti-Semitic propaganda. It is in The Angelus, published monthly by the SSPX, and on SSPX’s website that the radical anti-Semitism of the order is most evident today. One example now on the website is a 1997 Angelus article by SSPX priests Michael Crowdy and Kenneth Novak that calls for locking Jews into ghettoes because “Jews are known to kill Christians.” It also blames Jews for the French Revolution, communism and capitalism; suggests a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy has destroyed the Catholic Church; and describes Judaism as “inimical to all nations.”

Another document reproduced on the SSPX’s current website is a 1959 letter from Lefebvre’s close friend, Bishop Gerald Sigaud, who also rejected the Vatican II reforms. “Money, the media, and international politics are for a large part in the hands of Jews,” Bishop Sigaud wrote. “Those who have revealed the atomic secrets of the USA were … all Jews. The founders of communism were Jews.”

To the best of my knowledge, these "bishops" were excommunicated for being ordained as bishops without the Pope's permission which is against both Church Tradition and Church Law.

It is well within the Pope's rights to reconcile with these men if that is what he wishes. Let's hope that these men will lead the SSPX into rightful Church Teachings and Tradition.

The lifting of the excommunication does make make them legitimate bishops not does it mean that the Church agrees with any of their personal opinions. It only means that they can attend Mass and receive the sacraments.

Remember the purpose of excommunication is the correction and redemption of the person who has chosen to separate himself or herself from the Church.
