Declared Invalid

Dearest Daughter in Christ the King:

Grace, peace and benediction in Our Lord Jesus Christ, King. We are writing in order to clarify the Church's position concerning the "excommunications" from a layman. Not only does he have no canonical ability to excommunicate anyone, his accusations are contrary to juridical discipline and Divine Law.

Since I maintain, and rightly so, that there are no approved "apparitions" in which God the Father has spoken to anyone, and if God the Father would make Himself known to a private person, He would not contradict His own Law, as given to us by His Church.

The contradictions of these false claimant's are blatant, as We shall demonstrate in the following: the heresy of Donatism, by where the heretic erroneously holds that wicked and sinful priests cannot validly confect the Sacraments on account of sin:

Saint Augustine defended the traditional Church teaching against the
Donatists by appealing to the parables of Jesus. Cf. In John 3:6-12; Psalms
128:8. The doctrine that every mortal sinner ceases to be a member of the
Church leads to denial of the visibility of the Church, as the presence or
absence of the state of grace is not knowable from without. A mortal sinner
remain within the Church, as long as he remains bound at least by Christian
faith, and Christian hope, with Christ, the Head of the Mystical Body. Cf.
Summa Theologica III 8,3 to 2.)

(Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Dr. Ludvig Ott, pg. 306)

The validity and efficacy of the Sacrament is independent of the minister's
orthodoxy and state of grace. As far as grace is concerned this doctrine is
de fide; as far as orthodoxy is concerned it is de fide in respect to Baptism
(D860); it is sententia fide proxima as regards the other Sacraments. Cf. CIC
2372. The council of Trent teaches: If anyone says that a minister who,
though he be in a state of mortal sin, does everything that is essential for
the perfection and administration of a sacrament, does not perfect or
administer the sacraments, let him be anathema.

(ibid. pg.342)

Excepting the Sacrament of Penance, neither orthodox belief nor moral
worthiness is necessary for the validity of the Sacraments, on the part of
the recipient. (Sententia communis.) The Sacrament of Penance is an exception
because of the moral acts of the penitent (according to the usual opinion)
are, as quasi matter, an essential part of the Sacramental sign. In the
Donatist controversy the defenders of the Church doctrine maintained that the
validity of the Sacraments is independent of the orthodoxy and moral
worthiness, not merely of the minister, but also the recipient.

(ibid. pg.345)

And concerning the ability to attack the credibility of other alleged seers and locutionists, the judgment made is in complete contradiction of the infallible decree of His Holiness, Pope Urban VIII, which states unequivocally that all decisions concerning the legitimacy of the Saints and the Beati, as well as all miracles, prophesies and locutions, etc., remain solely the prerogative of the Roman Pontiff. No other person, no matter of what degree or rank, may usurp that prerogative. (Cf. Sanctissimus, 30 October, 1625)

And lastly, this disgraceful practice of "mailing" the Most Blessed Sacrament is of such grave disrespect and horror, which God the Father would not ever allow. While "Bishop" McCormack is no doubt a dubious character, and not a Catholic Bishop due to his apostasy and heresy, which separate him from the true Catholic Church, still this in no way affects his ability to confect a Sacrament - and God would not ever take away that ability, because, as the Church teaches, the true Sacrificing Priest is Christ Jesus Himself; the human priest simply stands in His place. And were these Hosts consecrated at the New Mass? If so, than they are nothing more than bread, for the New Mass in incapable of validly confecting the Sacrament of Eucharist. (Cf. Summa Theologica; De Defectibus)

We strongly advise you, for the sake of your soul, to refrain from any contact with these delusional characters, who have no concept of true Catholic teaching or practice. To publish or distribute any of their "teachings" would be harmful to souls and gravely sinful.

In Christo Rege,

Most Reverend Thom J.F. Sebastian, SSCR
