The very fact that he has called a Synod with the intention of reconsidering infallible dogma, doctrine and associated discipline will be an indelible stain on this papacy which will go down in history. Just by appearing to support the position that all these issues are "up for grabs", he has already done the damage which Satan wanted him to do.<br /><br />What does he want to revisit next, the divinity of Christ, the historicity of the Resurrection?Deacon Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549825303646357455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-57038402603389297882015-10-06T22:02:40.157+01:002015-10-06T22:02:40.157+01:00It is not tantamount to apostasy, though, which is...It is not tantamount to apostasy, though, which is Dr. Shaw's point. Or if it is, it is no more tantamount to apostasy than the formal disregard for the Real Presence we've already endured for decades.<br /><br />What in the world is the point of the Synod if not at least trying to find a way to achieve this outcome? Why all the talk about it? Why has the Holy Father dug up the most hideous, cretinous specimens he could find and stuff them into every position of power over the Synod if not to achieve this outcome? Why else his endless harangues about legalism, Pharisaism, rigidity, etc.?<br /><br />Dr. Shaw may be right or it may be wrong but you cannot deny that the institutional Church has clearly intended to broadcast that this option is on the table. Charity certainly doesn't oblige us to believe BS.Sean W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10085184456489549231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-46295087145865607482015-10-06T21:30:54.107+01:002015-10-06T21:30:54.107+01:00I suspect believe it will come back to the liturgy...I suspect believe it will come back to the liturgy. I take some comfort from various predictions that in say 20 /30 years time there will be as many or more priests practising the traditional liturgy, than the Pauline Mass(s).<br /><br />It will be a smaller Church, but that has happened before. Most Catholics just have not as yet grasped that history has not yet come to an end.

Take for first instance the Second Vatican Council: the Council Fathers professed the Catholic Faith but in practice and outlook they were Nineteenth century Liberals and the documents of Vatican II are saturated with view, particularly in an expression of faith in humanity that contradicts the doctrine of original sin. This was a direct consequence of the seperation of church and state, where the Church was banished from public life, including losing the right to educate Catholic youth on its own terms.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537123281964278798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-10786162455552135712015-10-06T17:29:49.938+01:002015-10-06T17:29:49.938+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537123281964278798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-79183163994020534152015-10-06T17:27:29.490+01:002015-10-06T17:27:29.490+01:00I'm going to be honest - this strikes me as st...I'm going to be honest - this strikes me as stoking the fires of paranoia. I am more confident that neither the Holy Father nor the bishops are going to take any steps to nullify our dogma or closely connected practice surrounding marriage/Eucharist; individual bishops might go into schism over this, but I am much more confident in the world-wide episcopate and the Holy Father personally. I think it is well-nigh irresponsible to encourage the thinking that the Holy Father and bishops might commit an act tantamount to apostasy.StMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396530635424749173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-28370444924987195662015-10-06T16:05:41.970+01:002015-10-06T16:05:41.970+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537123281964278798noreply@blogger.com
