Beliefs of the Palmarian Church: Part One

Palmarian Doctrine, Mass and Vatican II

The Palmarian Church is a traditionalist Catholic Church. They believe that due to the apostasy of the Roman Catholic Church, God has saved His Church through the transfer of the Holy See of Peter from Rome to Palmar de Troya in 1978 and outside of the Catholic Palmarian Church, there is no salvation. John Paul I and all Roman Popes after him are declared Anti-Popes. Pope Paul VI was the last true Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and the Palmarian Church declared him a martyr and a saint in October 1978. Clemente Domínguez y Gómez (Pope Gregory XVII) succeeded Paul VI as pope. He was the first Pope of the Palmarian Church. Dominguez died in 2005 and was succeeded by Manuel Alonso Corral who had been by his side since the 1968 apparitions. Corral took the name Pope Peter II. Corral appointed Sergio Maria as Secretary of State of the Church. Corral died in 2011 and was succeeded by Maria who was elected by conclave. He took the name Pope Gregory XVIII.

In a Pontifical Document, the same one in which they declare Pope Paul VI a saint, they say this:

“…Pope Saint Paul VI lived in the Vatican surrounded by enemies, who acted as gaolers and tormentors.  This holy Pope passed the days of his pontificate subjected to large doses of drugs, which were administered to him by his tormentors.  These were cardinals, bishops, priests and so forth.  Among these tormentors there stand out Cardinal Jean Villot, Cardinal Giovanni Benelli, Cardinal Sebastian Baggio, Cardinal Poletti,—and among others there also stands out Casaroli, of the Vatican’s diplomatic service, the great traitor, who opened the gates for satanical dialogue with the Marxists.  Pope Saint Paul VI is not guilty of the heresies introduced, since he was coerced and drugged.  Also the holy Pontiff’s signature was forged, and in addition, falsified documents were promulgated.  The Masons and other infiltrated heretics in the Roman Curia reached the point of destroying the Catholic Mass, changing it and putting in its place the heretical Mass of the great Mason and traitor Bugnini.

We give guarantee and assurance, pledging Our word in the name of Christ, that the life of Pope Saint Paul VI was exemplary and virtuous.  This holy Pope gave himself up completely to prayer and penance, and, of course, to continual self-sacrifice, his pontificate having been a sorrowful ascent to Calvary.  This holy Pope was vilely murdered by the traitors of the Roman Curia.

We desire that Pope Saint Paul VI bear the most worthy title of Martyr.

We declare Saint Paul VI, Martyr, to be a special guardian of Ours in Our pontificate.

We exhort all the faithful to honour the memory of the great Pontiff, Saint Paul VI, Martyr.  The hour has come to acknowledge the great personality of this exalted Pope.  He lived amidst great incomprehension, as well of progressivists, as of extreme traditionalists.  Consider this height of human injustice: after his life amidst incomprehension, and after his death, there entered that clown of an Antipope, Cardinal Luciani, called John Paul I; who, with his false smile of 33 days, eclipsed the great pontificate of 15 years of Saint Paul VI.”

The Palmarian Church were strongly against the modernisation and progressivism of the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, which was introduced to the Roman Church in 1962 by Pope John XXIII. It was continued and finished by Pope Paul VI in 1965 but the Palmarian Church doesn’t hold either of these Popes responsible for Vatican II, they see it as a “device of freemasonry to put an end to the Church” and believe the Roman Curia had been infiltrated by Masonry. In the above quote they claim that Paul VI was drugged, coerced and documents forged in his name. They also defend Pope John XXIII, saying:

“We stand in defence of the sacred person of Pope Saint John XXIII.  The errors in the government of the Church during his pontificate cannot be put to his blame, since this holy Pope, because of his goodness, was used by the Church’s enemies.  This Pope was incapable of thinking ill of others.  He placed confidence in everyone and in the apparent goodness of those about him.  Without doubt, Pope Saint John XXIII was coerced and manipulated by the Masons.  In the intense agony which prepared him for passage to the other life, he purified with dreadful pain the errors of his pontificate.”

Dominguez, and other Church Officials, laid the foundations of Palmarian Doctrine. They re-established the Holy Latin Tridentine Mass, which was used in the Roman Church from 1570 to 1969, stating that “the Holy Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary, a Sacrifice bloodless, but nevertheless real, in which Christ is immolated.” They anathematised the New Mass (Novus Ordo Missae) which replaced the Tridentine Mass in the Roman Church. They also make it forbidden for the faithful to make responses during Mass, although they can sing. The faithful are forbidden from administering Holy Communion, or any other ministries meant to be performed by priests.

“We impose on all the faithful the obligation of hearing the Holy Latin Tridentine Mass of St. Pius V.

We severely prohibit all the faithful from assisting at the celebration of the New Mass.”

…

“We proclaim and impose the Holy Latin Tridentine Mass of St. Plus V, including the last Gospel of St. John, the Leonine Prayers, and the Invocations to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and likewise the transpierced heart of St. Teresa of Jesus.”

They made a proclamation of the Marian and Josephine Dogmas, recognising Mary as “Mary Mediatrix, Mary Co-Redemptress, Mary Queen, and Mary Mother of the Church.” And recognising Joseph as “St. Joseph pre sanctified in the womb of his mother, St. Joseph Assumed into Heaven body and soul, and St. Joseph, Father and Doctor of the Church.”

They condemn the Dutch Catechism of 1966 and declare that all catechisms (religious teachings) should be done in accord with the Council of Trent and the teachings of Saint Pope Pius X, and other traditional doctrine. Mothers and fathers are obliged to have these catechisms in their homes, and to teach them to their children.

The Church declares that the Popes of the True Church, currently and historically, exercise Spiritual Power and Temporal Power, all the world being subject to him. The pope can distribute lands, depose kings and name kings.

They declare that every good Catholic has a Sacred Duty to frequently read the Holy Gospel, the reading of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, of the Magisterium of the Church, the Encyclicals of the Popes, of Pontifical Documents, of genuine thinkers on Traditional Doctrine, and writings of Saints of the Church.

The Palmarian church obliges Priestly Celibacy, claiming that when a priest remains celibate and resists temptation, they are in some ways, made equal to angels. They claim celibacy gives them “greater spiritual power for the cure of souls and their salvation, by reason of his being near to angelic purity.”. They also condemn ‘Worker Priests’, meaning priests who have employment outside of priesthood.

The faithful must only be in a worker’s union with other Palmarians.

They declare without doubt that women may never be ordained into the priesthood.

They urge the importance of confession, declaring that it was instituted by Jesus Christ and is required in order to receive absolution for sins. They also declare that collective absolution can only be practiced in extreme cases of emergency.

The Palmarian Church forbids the faithful from attending any religious functions which take part in Roman Catholic Churches, including funerals, marriages, baptisms and other functions.

The Church is strongly against divorce and proclaims that the indissolubility of marriage is divine law. They also proclaim that the purpose of marriage is procreation and not sexual pleasure. They make a strong stand against abortion and other forms of birth control, claiming that a fetus has a right to be born and anyone who “does anything to prevent the birth of the creature, opposes god”. While condemning divorce they suddenly start prophesizing and warning the governments of the world:

“We proclaim and declare that the states and Governments of the world, as authorities representing God, have the sacred duty to put in practice all the laws that accord with the Law of God. Wherefore, We proclaim that holy and unmistakeable phrase; "We must obey God rather than men.”  Following this wise rule, We declare that the true faithful of the Church have the sacred duty to resist the laws not in accord with the Law of God.

We, fulfilling Our mission as authentic Pastor and Prophet, announce to the world; All the Nations which in their Constitutions, have proclaimed, promulgated or defended laws contrary to God, will draw down upon themselves the malediction of God Omnipotent; and as a result of these maledictions, will have to suffer innumerable punishments; as fierce wars, fearful earthquakes, floods, plagues, epidemics, atrocious sicknesses, and every kind of catastrophe and vicissitude, since no one makes mockery of God.

We, as Universal Father, who greatly loves the sons God has given into Our hands, cannot hide in silence the fact that we are on the verge of a horrible and cruel Third World War, in which there will disappear from the face of the earth many cities, as well as entire nations.  Appearing on the horizon, the panorama, prelude to great events, grips one with fear and trembling.  We have still time to avoid, postpone or mitigate the imminent and proximate Third World War, nuclear war, atomic and horrific.  Very beloved sons, do not be amazed that the Pope is Prophet, who announces to you the great torments that are approaching; since other Popes announced in prophecy the two previous World Wars.  Had the world listened to the word of warning by the Pope, it would have avoided the two World Wars.”

They re-established Latin as the official language of the Palmarian Church, considering it a Sacred Language because so many people who they regard as saints have used Latin in the past, which was commonly used in the Roman Church for about 17 centuries.

In regard to the Eastern Catholic Church, they declare:

“the terminology "Orthodox Church" which is given commonly to the Eastern schismatics is incorrect; whereas the true name is "Heterdox Church", because orthodoxy means to be in possession of the true doctrine, and heterdoxy means to profess erroneous doctrine.” 

They state that the Eastern Church are obliged to confess and profess the same doctrine as the Latin Rite, otherwise they are a false church.

In future posts we will discuss more of the Palmarian Beliefs including their views on Masonry, Marxism, Dress Code, Children, the Media, Franco, Columbus and much more.
