A Filioquist Confirmed, a Solascripturist Confounded

2:55 Your point one favours Protestantism over EO, but also RC over EO.

True, but this video is contra EO not contra Rome


16:42 You are overreading.

St. Athanasius does say Nicaea (I) agrees with Scripture, but he doesn't say it's authoritative "only because" it agrees with Scripture as if that were the sole formal criterium.

17:58 Scriptures are by St. Cyril here contrasted with human wit, not with Tradition or Magisterium.

A single bishop outside Rome doesn't by himself alone wield the magisterium and it was easier for the catechumens to check the Scriptures than to check a Migne or a Denzinger which weren't in print yet for over a millennium.

Heimdallr
@Heimdallr-88h14
Magisterium is mythisterium

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@hglundahl
@Heimdallr-88h14 Not according to Matthew 28:16 to 20.

Heimdallr
@hglundahl That's a worldwide commission beneath Jesus, not a magisterium above the Word. 😂

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@Heimdallr-88h14 You may want to tell me where "above the Word" comes in.

And world wide still applies to the Episcopate, as these are successors of the twelve (yes, Apostolic Succession is in the NT, if you know where to look), which is an expression of the Magisterium.


18:29 This other Cyril quote, again, you are not proving Sola Scriptura unless it means that all of the Catholic faith is somehow in the Scriptures, a proposition that some Catholics actually adhere to.

Sola Scriptura from Reformation has come to mean "unless you can prove with definite passages without any millimeter of a doubt on what the passage could mean" as if the Tradition or Magisterium had no obliging bearing on the meaning of Scripture.

Here is one for you.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him
[Luke 24:27]


This exposition is not literally and directly in the Scriptures, since Genesis 3:15 isn't transmitted with added comments "and Jesus exposed to the disciples of Emmaus that Mary is the woman who crushed the serpent's head", but it is certainly somehow in the Scriptures insofar as Genesis 3:15 is within the scope of what Jesus exposed and the Church preserved.

Christ is King


How God Destroys Elites by Mocking Their Rites
Fr. Jason Charron | 1 April 2026

Basileus Ioulios Kaisar Sebastos. Basileus Iesous ho Nazaraios.

In Slavonic, INRI is INTsI, Ts as in Tsar.

Regnavit de Cruce.

And it was soldiers who acclaimed Him.

In Rome, it was soldiers who sang "Roman's lock up your wives, we bring along the bald lecher" ... it was soldiers who made emperors.

Rome testified to the Empire of Heaven. The power of demonspawned Romulus prepared to receive the born again Peter.

It's about time that Unbelieving Jews start to hear that testimony.

Jews:
We have no King but Caesar.
Rome:
Jesus is Caesar.


The scepter of Christ was a reed.

What a consolation for scribes!

What's the Alternative? Here is One


Do you recall Assisi 1986 and Pachamama 2019? Sharing · What's the Alternative? Here is One

Someone chose to mock Pope Michael I and his successor Michael II:


I'm Pope because my mommy says so..

There were six people to vote. He was the one voting for someone else.

Now Innocent II was elected by not many more, lay people voted popes for the first millennium, and continued voting bishops for some centuries, lay people can get elected as bishops, even a catechumen was (St. Ambrose of Milan), and there is no rule that voters cannot vote for a relative, as, unlike bishops and popes, they aren't naming the dignitary.

Someone said "fraudulent" ... can you prove beyond reasonable doubt that his claim to have invited Sedevacantist and perhaps other Trad bishops was fraudulent, so that the other voters convened under a false pretense?




There are no candidates in papal elections.

Any male adult inside or outside of the voters was "a candidate" in the sense that voters could vote for him.

Nero Turtle
@NeroTurtle
if he is someone you can "vote" for, he is a candidate. You are just trying to be complicated about it.

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@hglundahl
@NeroTurtle In the usual use of "candidate" it's someone who sets up to be able to vote for.





2:52 Michael II didn't get elected in a small thrift store.

His election was in Vienna.

Nero Turtle
my video is only a response to the one we both watched together. Beyond that, I didn't do a deep dive. If you knew all of this stuff beforehand, good for you. If you googled it afterward and are commenting now, that is funny.

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@NeroTurtle I knew of Pope Michael I since back in 2001 or 2002, when I was Palmarian.





A fault in the source video.

Bob Bjarnesen did not trace his legitimacy from Duarte Costa, just his validity ... up to reconciliation with Pope Michael I, prior to the consecration, Bob Bjarnesen was bishop validly but illicitly, like Bartholomew I of Constantinople (or anyone directly consecrated by Duarte Costa).

Nero Turtle
Are you a follower of Pope Michael 2?

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@NeroTurtle Yes.

Since c. 2013 of Pope Michael I, I noted his demise and the election of his successor.

Nero Turtle
@hglundahl that's actually pretty cool. Tell me about it. What are you guys doing and stuff.

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@NeroTurtle I tried to get him as publisher for my essays / blog posts (which could be transferred to paper), he had other things to do, he died.

I haven't been where he or anyone in communion with him has celebrated Mass, so I have survived without direct access to the Sacraments.

Nero Turtle
@hglundahl I am not catholic, so I have not bias. Tell me more about this stuff. How can there be a Kansas pope without the other pope being, like "hey... no" or whatever?

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@NeroTurtle The "other Pope" on our view was Pius XII, who died in 1958.

Those after him seem to have been heretics, therefore ineligible, therefore not true Popes.
