While looking for information on Catholics who were upset about changes coming out of Vatican II (because of some TV programs I had seen, with priests criticizing it), I found the following. It appears that the split in the Episcopal Church has gotten a lot more publicity than the split in the Roman Catholic Church.
“The Catholic Church Never Changes”
After 40 years of the Holy See being vacant, the Catholic Church has, on October 24, 1998 elected Pope Pius XIII as the Vicar of Christ on Earth. The details of his election and papacy can be found on the Papal Homepage.
Many of Pope Pius XIII’s writings, penned prior to his ascension to the Chair of St. Peter, will continue to exist on this website under his former name. Many of these writings are in newsletters known as Caritas, and in other documents on specific topics. These will be marked with a yellow oval saying “Pre Pius XIII Document.” Documents which do reference the “vacancy” will be clearly date-stamped and marked as written prior to the restoration of the papacy, because their content and explanations are invaluable in understanding the background of the papal situation.
It is likely that most of you think that the “Catholic Church” now centered in Rome, in the Vatican, is the Catholic Church. Since 1958 (after the death of Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958), the holders of offices there, have usurped the name of the Catholic Church from which they of their own free will departed. They left the faith, and therefore they left the Church that was founded by Christ on the apostles with Peter as its head. Their defection from the faith is something we must prove and that is the burden of much of the literature that you will find in this website.
The deception into which you have been drawn by bogus Council Vatican II (1962 - 1965) is extremely acute. Why? Because those leaders, all the Fathers of the bogus Council Vatican II plus their leaders (John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and now Benedict XVI) kept not only the name Catholic Church, but they also kept their position in the community that continues to call itself the Catholic Church. The only way that one can prove this truth is to examine the teachings of the Catholic Church before bogus Council Vatican II, and then compare those earlier teachings with the ones now taught by that unfortunate and diabolical Council Vatican II.
The immense truth that will strike you is that there is a great difference between the doctrines of the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and those of the post-Vatican II “Catholic Church.” Once you recognize this, you are forced to admit that they are not one and the same Church. The next conclusion is that both cannot be God’s Church. Deliberately, we do not call God’s Church the true Church, for God does not have an untrue Church. He made only one Church. If you find that Church, you must conclude that all other so-called “Churches” are not of God. They are the Churches of Satan.
You may ask: “Well then, who is the Pope of God’s Church?” By God’s permission we were without a successor to our last true pope, Pope Pius XII for 40 years from October 9,1958 until October 24, 1998. The movement on the part of those who still have the true faith, still in the Catholic Church, came to a joyful outcome on October 24, 1998, when Pope Pius XIII was elected to the Chair of St. Peter.
Sorry, don’t mean to laugh. It’s just that I know people like this. They are called “Traditionalists” but at the same time, they are “Sedevacantists” meaning the “Seat is Vacant” (in fact, all Catholics were sedevacantists for the short time between pontiffs just recently). Their position is unfortunate in many ways.
