The Papal Menu
- As we have indicated, the Church
was without a pope for 40 years from Oct. 9, 1958 until Oct. 24, 1998 with
the election of Pope Pius XIII to the chair of Peter. In this page
of the True Catholic web site, we present articles on various topics concerning
the papal situation, as well as reasons why and how a papal election could
be conducted. With God's help the remnant Church validly elected
a true pope for God's one and only Church.
The
Papal Situation The
question has been posed ... "Do we have a
pope?" The answer in a nutshell is that the last true pope was Pope
Pius XII who died on Oct. 9, 1958. The 5 men following him, each claiming to sit
on the Chair of St. Peter were and are impostors. Great Schism article shows why.
The
Great Schism of the West (1378-1417) was resolved at the Council of Constance. With
the help of God, that which seemed to be an impossible situation was
finally settled. We should thank God for knowing this event in
history and how it was solved to the glory of God and the salvation of
souls.
New Conclave passing of Pius XIII
(1998-2009) A new council is in progress and will take some time
due to strong persecutions against the true Catholic Church and true Holy Mysteries of
Pope Pius XIII.
