Benedictine bishops, like other bishops and cardinals, do not affirm de fide teachings of the Catholic Church. They are denying it in public. This is manifest heresy and a mortal sin ( The Crossroads at 23rd Street )

1917 Code of Canon Law (Can. 146) and the Legitimacy of the MHFM

1917 Code of Canon Law
Book I: General Norms (Can. 1-6)
Title IX: Ecclesiastical Offices (Can. 145-196)
Chapter I: The Provision of Ecclesiastical Office
Can. 146: "An ecclesiastical office cannot be validly obtained without canonical provision".

Canonical Provision: It comprises three distinct acts - the designation of the person, canonical institution, and installation. In various ways a person may be designated to fill a vacant benefice: by election, postulation, presentation, or recommendation, resignation made in one's favor, or approved exchange. In all cases confirmation by the proper ecclesiastical superior of the selection made is required, while letters of appointment, as a rule, must be presented.

Lionel: However the person must affirm the teachings of the Catholic Church, this is also a requirement.I mentioned in a previous post that the 'official Benedictines' reject the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS), they interpret the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) as referring to known people saved outside the Church when practically there are no such known people. They affirm irrational Vatican Council II (Cushingite) which is a rupture with Tradition.It is heretical and schismatic.They do not accept Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite) which is in harmony with the past ecclesiology, the Syllabus of Errors, EENS and the Catechisms.

So Michael and Peter Dimond would call the official Benedictines and the other religious communities, 'the Vatican Council II sect 'and consider them anathema. I would call them the 'false church' ,with new doctrines created with a New Theology, within the true Church.

This is also a canonical issue.

___________________________________

Reception of administration by a chapter without such letters brings excommunication reserved to the pope, together with privation of the fruits of the benefice; and the nominee loses “ipso facto” all right to the prelacy. Ordinarily greater benefices are conferred by the pope; minor benefices by the bishop, who as a rule has the power of appointing to all benefices in his diocese. The pope, however, owing to the fullness of his jurisdiction, may appoint to any benefice whatsoever.

Thus, the law is clear ... without legitimacy (canonical provision), without the consecrated authority to act on God’s behalf to establish an ecclesiastical office [a monastery] to preach / teach the scattered flock, even with the best of intentions, it is against the Code of Canon Law bringing with it an “ipso facto” sentence of excommunication.

Lionel: The two popes and the cardinals and bishops assume invisible BOD, BOB and I.I are visible exceptions to the dogma EENS as it was known, for example, to the Magisterium of the 16th century. All those who want to enter religious life have to accept this heresy.This is first class heresy since the Nicene Creed has been changed.

I would not be able to enter a religious community since for me invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I are not visible exceptions to EENS. Similarly Michael and Peter would have no chance of joining the Benedictines since they affirm traditional EENS.BOD, BOB and I.I are not exceptions to EENS for them.

This is a canonical issue.

Next; as found within the 1918 version of The New Canon Law: A Commentary and Summary of the New Code of Canon Law; by Rev. Stanislaus Woywod, O.F.M.
The Second Book: Laws Concerning Persons
Part I: Laws Concerning the Clergy
Section II: Clerics Individually
Title VII: The Supreme Authority and Those who by Law Share in it

(146) The Supreme Authority alone can erect ecclesiastical provinces, dioceses, abbeys [monasteries] or prelatures nullius, vicariates apostolic, prefectures apostolic; or change their limits, divide, unite, suppress them.

Lionel: The New Code of Canon Law expects Catholics to say that invisible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I are visible. Then they have to interpret Magisterial documents with this irrationality.

This is an impediment to being a Catholic . A Catholic has to affirm this irrationality, heresy and schism to be in good standing with the Church.

It is a canon law issue.

The FACTs:

• Joseph Natale (1932-1995), the founder of the “concept” MHFM, was a layman and NEVER was a professed religious.
• Joseph Natale NEVER received permission from a Benedictine Bishop (delegated by the Supreme Authority) to establish his congregation.
• The same applies to Frederick “Michael” Dimond.

Thus ... NO Canonical Provision.

Lionel: They do not want Canonical Provision from heretical ecclesiastics who do not recant and corrent themselves  in public even after being informed of the error.

___________________________________

Simply put ... the Dimond Brothers of the MHFM, as laymen, are acting outside the laws of the Church established in 1917 ... long before Vatican II was ever held.

Lionel: The 'Church' today is a rupture with the Church in the pre-1930's since a false premise is used to interpret Vatican Council II. This can be avoided. But the duplicity is continued for political reasons.

The 'Church' needs to correct itself doctrinally and theologically and then invite Peter and Michael Dimond, the SSPX and other traditionalists and sedevacantist, into the Church, with full canonical status.

___________________________________

In the Canon Law Digest, Volume 3, Can. 147 (page 71) it reads: “Excommunication as vitandus is inflicted for accepting office from a lay authority.”; which is exactly the grievous error committed by Bro. Michael when he self-declared himself, as a layman, Superior of the MHFM.

For it is clearly indicated concerning the “official” Benedictine requirements for obtaining the legitimate position of a Superior within a Benedictine monastery:

Lionel: The CDF Prefect, Cardinal Luiz Ladaria Sj at the Placuet Deo Press Conference this year denied the dogma EENS and re-interpreted Vatican Council II with an irrational premise.He also did not affirm Vatican Council II ( without the premise).This was all done in  public.This too would result in automatic excommunication according to the Magisterium of the past.

_________________________________

1910 “Declarations on the Rule of Our Holy Father St. Benedict and Statutes of the American-Cassinese Congregation” / permissu superiorum (by permission of the superiors), approved by the HOLY SEE under Pope Pius X (page 55):

“No one, however, can be elected unless he has made solemn vows, is ordained to the priesthood and belongs to our congregation.”

Lionel : He must also affirm the dogma EENS according to St.Benedict.

Denzinger: The Sources of Catholic Dogma

967 Can. 7: “If anyone says that ... those who have been neither rightly ordained nor sent by ecclesiastical and canonical authority, but come from a different source, are lawful ministers of the word …: let him be anathema [cf. n. 960].”

Lionel : Any one who changes the meaning of the Nicene Creed and rejects the dogma EENS is also anathema.

________________________________

Anathema is a ban or curse solemnly pronounced by ecclesiastical authority and accompanied by excommunication.

To reiterate the FACTs:

• Joseph Natale was a layman and NEVER was a professed religious.
• Joseph Natale NEVER received permission from a Benedictine Bishop (delegated by the Supreme Authority) to establish his congregation.
• Joseph Natale NEVER received “Holy Orders”, was NEVER ordained to the priesthood, and therefore had NO legitimate claim to the position / title of Superior.
• The same applies to Frederick “Michael” Dimond.

Thus, once again ... NO Canonical Provision.

Lionel : Benedictine bishops, like all other bishops and cardinals, do not affirm de fide teachings of the Catholic Church. They are denying it in public. This is manifest heresy and a mortal sin.

It is unfortunate, indeed, that there are a multitude of obstinate persons who do not quite, or willfully refuse, to understand that the purpose of this project is NOT an attempt to unjustly defame or denigrate the innocent; but rather it is a continued effort to keep on “sounding the alarm” concerning the fraud being perpetuated upon the “scattered flock” by a narcistic, miscreant by the name of Frederick “Michael” Dimond; posing as an ecclesiastic Superior within his secular “not-for-profit corporation”; disguised as a self-identified Order of St Benedict (OSB) deceitfully called the “Most Holy Family Monastery” (MHFM).

It's still not too late to repent Brother Michael.

Lionel: The unknown, anonymous owner of this website/blog as a Catholic could also respond to these posts.-Lionel Andrades
