It's great to finally see the Feeneyite heresy come to an end after all these years. What a catastrophe! How do we know it is finally extinguished? Here are some obvious signs:
- For one, activity in this sub-forum has been drying up. The primary activity remaining is people bickering about individual quotes - as if that matters with the amount of magisterial support for the doctrine available. If you are still bothering to sling quotes back and forth, you are simply a novice and you are
completely missing the boat.
- The website
baptismofdesire.com has now been online for 4 years. If you look at their News page, they have openly challenged many of the most rabid opposers of baptism of desire to read their homepage and let them know where it is an error. They have ALL been silent for the last 4 years. That says it all. In addition, that site has received just as many conceding to the doctrine as those challenging it.
- Overall there have been no solid arguments over the years - just the same old beating of the dead horse from people trying to interpret what it all means on their own, instead of listening to the ordinary magisterium. Even 400 years after the Protestant revolt, they still fall into the same old trap of self interpretation. Pretty sad.
Great to see this finally extinguished after all these years! Time to focus on real Catholicism...
