    SJB's answer is the answer I would give, so I'm stumped as to why SJB would answer as I would. Did I miss something during my absence from CI?


    You must have been missing the same thing when you were here.


    Games, games, what a waste of time it is to talk to you.


    You and LaramieHirsh are birds of a feather.
    It would be comparatively easy for us to be holy if only we could always see the character of our neighbours either in soft shade or with the kindly deceits of moonlight upon them. Of course, we are not to grow blind to evil

    I don't know anything about LaramieHirsh, I do know you, and your waste of postings, this being another. You write more one sentence postings than anyone I know. I'd rather get my teeth drilled than have to go through like 20 of your one line postings to find out what if anything you are talking about. You must be posting from a cell phone.

    Your are a thread diluter, a thread killer.

    I'm not here to educate you bowler. That's not possible anyway. Like I said, you and Laramie hold the very same error. Dogmas only (as you read the "as written" English translation) and nothing else. You are the sole interpreter and you have no problem ignoring and denigrating any and all approved teachers in the Church.

    So how come you reject the explanations that have emanated since Pope Pius IX's time?

    As i have read you believe supernatural faith is necessary, so how come you reject those that say that people can be saved in ignorance without the Faith?

    Then again, i suppose the question would be, can someone be IGNORANT of God, Jesus, the Church etc. but somehow possess supernatural faith?

    I would say no. What would be of contrition? Of giving thanks to God?

    This is what i mean by salvation by default, post-age-of-reason people being saved without them even knowing it

  • I take back everything i said against Pope Pius IX, i fear for my soul.

    I fear i may be slandering/calumniating him and damaging his reputation.

    But on the other hand i want to know the truth about this matter, but i apologize for everything bad i said against the Pope.

    My tone and the manner in which i addressed towards him was disrespectful too.

    Nothing which Pope Pius IX taught contradicted that of his predecessor:

    Quote
    Condemned error: "A faith indicated from the testimony of creation, or from a similar motive, suffices for justification." (Denz. 2123, Pope Innocent XI, 1679).


    For an individual to receive justification, they must have a supernatural faith and they must keep the natural law.

  • I brought this up on another thread once but would like to hear more opinions, this quote from Lefebvre, is it not heretical?
    Against the Heresies, by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre:

     

    1.      Page 216: “Evidently, certain distinctions must be made.  Souls can be saved in a religion other than the Catholic religion (Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.), but not by this religion.  There may be souls who, not knowing Our Lord, have by the grace of the good Lord, good interior dispositions, who submit to God...But some of these persons make an act of love which implicitly is equivalent to baptism of desire.  It is uniquely by this means that they are able to be saved.”

    You won't find any Father, Saint, or Doctor teaching it, it is opposed to the Athanasian Creed, the Council of Trent, the catechism of Trent, and ALL the catechisms prior to the 20th century. In other words, it is against ALL of tradtion.

    However, the opinion, which became prominent in the 20th century, was not a condemned opinion when it was taught to Abp. Lefebvre, and still is not to this day.

    Practically all the saints erred in some opinion, we don't follow individuals, we follow tradition, what has always been.

    Sounds reasonable, yet your signature line implies otherwise. Do you still also believe the sacrament of Baptism is actually received in ALL cases?

    That's the problem with you, you are always thinking something "implies". The person asked a question and I answered it with the truth without prejudice. Obviously, I disagree with the Abp., and side with ALL of tradition. Precisely what I believe is in my signature. Everything I am is brought out to the light.

    You on the other hand work in mystery and in the shadows, criticizing others but never clearly revealing what you believe.

    Please explain to me just one thing, what exactly do I have to do to set you up so that your postings do not appear to me? How do I set up the ignore feature? I'm sorry, but your tactic of making 20 one line postings to make what appears only to you to be a point, is just too exasperating to follow. Frankly, I'd rather get my molars drilled, than to continue to attempt to follow your style of "communication".

  • Father Joseph Clifford Fenton answers the charge that "the school theology since the Middle Ages has in some way neglected to consider the Church as the Body of Jesus Christ". The concept of "body" and "soul" of the Church comes up in this writing. There have been some less than precise analogies of this concept by Catholic theologians that have confused the issue and have given the Feeneyites ammunition to denounce all that is taught in theology manuals if it does not suit their purpose. It is important to have a right understanding of things in so far as this is possible. This is why the safer course is to go with what Saint Robert Bellarmine, the greatest doctor in the Church on Ecclesiology, says over those who disagree with him, unless a Pope or perhaps another Doctor of the Church were to do so, and this has yet to happen.
    "I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church

    My posts are very short because the errors here are obvious.

    St. Augustine: “If you wish to be a Catholic, do not venture to believe, to say, or to teach that they whom the Lord has predestinated for baptism can be snatched away from his predestination, or die before that has been accomplished in them which the Almighty has predestined.’

  •    Lay-people should also accept whatever the Church teaches even if they are not sure what it is. We get caught up in places where Angels dare not tread. Instead of making ourselves the arbiters of truth on technicalities that only trained experts are qualified to respond to, we should simply accept the fact that non-members of the Church can be saved because that is an infallible doctrine of the Church. The unschooled debating technicalities, that calls into question what the approved great minds of the Church have clearly taught, harm the Church, as does condemning others on issues you are not qualified to speak on as this confuses and embitters Her members and potential faithful. I speak as one unschooled which is why I present the teaching from a reliable source.

    Of course SJB does not fall into a category of "unschooled" when pertaining to his posts on his subjects.  He certainly knows enough to be correct when he posts on this topic.
