The War Against The Papacy
By
James Larson

.
.Satan’s final great battle against the Christ’s Kingdom must necessarily have as its primary goal the separation of all of the faithful from the Rock upon which Christ’s Church is founded, Having been immensely successful in drawing the vast majority of Catholics into a great variety of infidelities through the errors of Liberalism and Modernism, he now seeks to separate from the Papacy those who consider themselves a Catholic remnant in a world turned to massive apostasy.
This campaign against God’s “Elect” operates upon two fronts. The first exploits the profound ignorance existing among Catholics, including traditional Catholics, concerning the three great prerogatives dogmatically taught by Vatican Council I.
It is tragically believed by virtually all Catholics that Vatican I’s teaching was confined to the prerogative of Papal Infallibility. There is, however, a second prerogative of the Papacy which deals with the Primacy of Jurisdiction. This Primacy demands that all Catholics must be subject to the Pope not only in his teaching on faith and morals, but also in his discipline and government of the Church. Further, Vatican I declares that to deny this truth entails loss of Catholic faith and salvation. Unfortunately, a large portion of those who consider themselves traditional Catholics have done precisely this very thing.
The third prerogative of the Papacy concerns Vatican I’s teaching that no Pope can ever lose the faith. Denial of this truth has led other “traditional” Catholics into sedevacantism – the belief that the Chair of Peter is empty.
The second “front” of Satan operates internally upon the Papacy itself. Unquestionably, post-Vatican II Popes, while not denying or having lost the faith itself, have adopted philosophical approaches to doctrine, and promoted liturgical changes, ecumenical and social teaching and activities which run directly counter to all their predecessors. It is these novel teachings and activities which have provided the motivation and alleged justification for those “traditionalists” who have embraced heresy, schism and sedevacantism..
It is the solemn obligation of every Catholic to survive this twofold attack and crisis. It is his duty therefore to come to an understanding of the nature of the Papacy, and the current crisis to which it is being subject– an understanding capable of dissipating confusion and engendering a truly reparative love for the Papacy in union with the Church. The War Against The Papacy is dedicated to achieving this end.
