Traditional Catholic Bishop
Bishop Joseph Marie

Background:
I was born into the Catholic Church during the reign of Pope Pius XII and by the grace of God have never, at any time, been associated with the modern "Catholic Church."  When the changes in the Mass were introduced into my parish, my family stopped attending “church” and chose rather to stay home and pray the Rosary. At the age of 21, I felt the call of God and joined a traditional Catholic seminary. I was consecrated a bishop 5 years ago.

Position:
I have held and will continue to hold to everything that the Catholic Church has taught from Her foundation unto the death of His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, in 1958. I reject the false Vatican Council II and her false clergy, and will continue to adhere to all of the truths of faith and morals of conduct that have constituted Catholicism for nearly two thousand years.

It is certain that the widespread destruction of the truths of our Faith and the destruction of the Sacraments wrought about by Vatican Council II constitute the greatest evil that has ever been visited upon the Catholic Church since her foundation. Sadly, one of the results of this has been the birth and growth of the false "Traditionalist Catholic" movement.  A movement which is supposed to have provided Catholics with a doctrinal and sacramental refuge from the Vatican II church, but which in fact has, with rare exception, merely compounded the errors of Vatican II by adding their own errors to it.  This movement is akin to purchasing shoes – one can find any color, size and shape desired. This hodge-podge of doctrine is, of course, opposed to the fixed truths of Catholicism which do not permit the co-existence of such divergent beliefs as are found in the traditionalist movement.  These divergent beliefs demonstrate, as a whole, that the traditionalist movement cannot be Catholic, as has been shown in a must read article called Wolves Among the Sheep - The False Shepherds of Traditional Catholicism.

May God grant to His Church, fervent and faithful Catholics, who refuse to compromise truth for convenience and expediency.
