just noting that the sinodal church song is not advocating for a synodal church, it is showing how wrong it is. It is in Spanish with English subtitles, listen past 2 minutes and the young man makes a good case for everything wrong with the synodal church
On Thursday evening, Cardinal Gerhard Müller gave a wide-ranging interview to EWTN.com. Main points: - I heard from some bishops that Catholics who do not want the newer form of the liturgy can either remain at home or go to the Lefebvrians [FSSPX]. - A plurality in the liturgy does not split the Church, the 'blessing' of homosexual couples does. It relativises the sacrament of marriage, which is a revealed truth. - The Church Fathers acknowledged that there was some truth in philosophy, but never in pagan Greek or Roman religions. They never accepted the old religions. - Different religions have different understandings of peace, liberty, and the dignity of the person. We cannot mix them. We are not fratelli tutti (all brothers). - It goes against the Catholic faith that women could receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders in a certain time. Only men can become bishops, priests or deacons. - Transgender is absolutely impossible. It contradicts Revelation. God created man and woman, male …More

… Nota bene: this analysis is from a retired Diocean bishop. Bishop Eleganti is not a Sedevecantist or SSPX. He is a bishop with full canonical faculties and in good standing with the Vatican. Interestingly, he comes to the same conclusions that Archbiship Lefevbre did!More
Aquinas’ scholastic technique seeks the resolution of differences, whereas polemics thrive on amplifying them. The scholastic quaestio (Latin for “question”), a timeless method – at once ancient and unexpectedly modern – suited to unraveling the most elusive riddles. This precise intellectual technique – the dialectical art of structured questioning, disputation, and synthesis – has roots extending across millennia, from the bustling agora of ancient Athens to the cloistered halls of medieval Christendom. Long before monks debated the Trinity by candlelight, the Greeks were already sharpening the blade of inquiry beneath the azure expanse of the sunlit sky. Socrates, the philosophical gadfly of Athens, honed the art of relentless, maieutic questioning. Wending his way through the city streets and marketplaces, he provoked his fellow citizens to reexamine what they thought they knew, unmasking contradictions and compelling the mind to confront its own shadows. Through Plato’s dialogues …More
@Jeffrey Ade If the third option is that Bethlehem is ruled by a Catholic State, in theory I would agree, but that option at this time is neither realistic or practical.
I really appreciated Charlie comparing the questioner to the climate hoaxers. Insane Left= "all the worlds evils are due to climate change. Insane Right ="All the worlds evils are due to Jews." Satan wants us insane. Insane Left or Insane Right, makes no difference to him.
Definition of fascism: On March 23, 1919, Benito Mussolini founded the Fascist Movement "Fascism wants people who are willing to act, who invest all their energy in their actions: people who are aware of the difficulties that exist and are prepared to face them with masculine self-confidence. It defines life as a struggle in which man must fight for his rightful place, having first developed within himself the physical, moral, and spiritual tools necessary for this. This is what it wants for the individual, the nation, and humanity." "Fascism is not merely the creator of laws and institutions, but also the educator and promoter of spiritual life. It does not seek to recreate the external form of human life, but its content, the human being, character, and faith." "The hallmarks of fascism are, first and foremost, work, then discipline, then selflessness, followed by honesty, loyalty, sincerity, and courage." "The creed of the fascist is heroism, that of the bourgeois is selfishness." "…More
