Since so many of our brothers and sisters are cutting themselves off from Rome, and naming the new Mass as the reason,
it gives one cause to pause in regard to what went wrong.
Here are the definitions of autocephalous; schismatic; and sedevacantist:
The "Autocephalous" communities, have their own "pope;"
The "Schismatics," don't have their own pope, but keep Tradition going more as Nostalgia than True Memory, and would
rather be at odds with the Holy See; and
The "Sedevacantists," don't believe that Pope John Paul II is a true pope, and that there hasn't been a "real" pope since
the death of Pope St. Pius X.
Ecclesia Dei Traditionalists are in communion with Rome, and follow the papal letter "Ecclesia Dei Afflicta." They
believe the Latin Mass to be more reverent than the Novus Ordo, but will attend the latter if in a pinch (or if there is no
other choice). ECCLESIA DEI TRADITIONALISTS HAVE THE POPE'S BLESSING!!! We here at Cloister Outreach are Ecclesia
Dei Traditionalists--NOT autocephalous, schismatic, or sedevacantist!!!
