The videos of Brother Michael Dimond of the MHFM are heretical when he interprets Vatican Council II with Cushingism and produces a fake break with Tradition

 

I wanted to give our supporters an update on our apostolate and some of our plans for the near future…

Lionel: Michael Dimond and the Most Holy Family Monastery, NY, USA continue to interpret Vatican Council II irrationally. They choose to interpret the 'red passages' like Pope Francis.

________________

Over the past 30 years (among all “conservative Catholic” organizations in the world), we are probably in the top six in terms of the total amount of Catholic materials distributed…  

Lionel: The interpretation of Vatican Council II and other Magisterial Documents of the MHFM is the same as that of the liberals. So the still have a tax exempt status.

____________________

 We also have the largest sedevacantist outreach in history by far, and our material has (by God’s grace) convinced the most people of the true position concerning the current state of the Church.

Lionel: The sedevacantists are politically correct with the Left on Vatican Council II. They interpret the red passages irrationally and produce a break with Tradition and then put the blame on the Council.

We have YouTube channels in 10 different languages with over 354,000 subscribers and over 106 million video views.  Over 14.9 million people have visited our English website since 2012.

 

…Working on these new video projects takes up a considerable amount of our time.  The fact is that our videos, websites, and materials are the most important information available to help people see the truth and save their souls.

Lionel: Their videos are heretical when they choose to interpret the Council with Cushingism and not Feeneyism. Vatican Council II becomes a  break with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

Sincerely in Jesus Christ,

Bro. Michael Dimond, O.S.B.
Superior, Most Holy Family Monastery

An important letter on our apostolate and some of our plans for the near future

For me the Council has the hermeneutic of continuity with Tradition. For the main line Catholic Church Vatican Council II can only be in harmony with the missionaries and Magisterium of the 16th century. There is no other rational choice.

When I say that the Catholic Church teaches today that outside the Church there is no salvation I am citing Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I am affirming the blue orthodox passages which are in harmony with the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) on extra ecclesiam nulla salus and I am affirming the red hypothetical passages which do not contradict the blue passages and neither the Council of Florence on EENS.

This is rational, traditional and magisterial.

So Vatican Council II is still officially saying in its text that outside the Church there is no salvation. This is the main line Catholic Church which uses Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Why should I interpret Vatican Council II, the Creeds and Catechisms irrationally and dishonestly like the popes, cardinals and bishops?

For me the Council has the hermeneutic of continuity with Tradition. For the main line Catholic Church Vatican Council II can only be in harmony with the missionaries and Magisterium of the 16^th century. There is no other rational choice.

So my approach is to first 1) affirm the blue passages which are in harmony with the past exclusivist ecclesiology and then 2) affirm the red hypothetical passages, which do not contradict the blue passages and neither Tradition.- Lionel Andrades
