Ă propos de ce livre
Sedevacantism, American Catholicism's only homegrown "new religious movement" (NRM), argues that the Catholic Church has sunk into heresy at the hands of false popes. It sits at the extremes of two growing phenomena: Traditionalist Catholicism and Independent Catholicism. The only Roman Catholic bishop ever to espouse Sedevacantism was Archbishop Pierre Martin NgĂŽ-dinh-Th?c â but who was he? ARCHBISHOP TH?C, Godfather of Vietnam's notorious ruling clan, key CIA contact, and apologist for a brutal, failing regime. But Th?c escaped, leaving behind a mysterious fortune, secret deals, abuse cover-ups, and the Vietnam War. In exile, Th?c helped launch the fanatical Palmarian cult (which later canonized Franco and Hitler), inspired assorted renegades, and reemerged as the icon of a new hardline movement called Sedevacantism. SEDE VACANTE: The Life and Legacy of Archbishop Th?cpainstakingly reconstructs this remarkable story: from French Indochina to the Japanese occupation; from the Communist revolution to the doomed US-backed puppet regime; from Th?c's exile to his role in Vatican II.Sede Vacanteinvestigates the origins of the secretive Palmarian cult and analyzes the theological, sacramental, and canonical issues arising from all of Th?c's exploits; it explains why, now more than ever, Catholics and non-Catholics alike should be aware of Sedevacantism.
