How so? I don't know much about him outside of the Dimond issue. I listened to an interview he had on Catholic family podcast and I am skeptical of some of his ideas but I'm open to him. He certainly doesn't anathematize people that don't agree with him like Dimond.
I started to explain, but honestly, you, imo, are progressing the way you're supposed to in this crisis - you keep searching and seeking for the truth as you're doing, and you will most assuredly find it.
The issue is not a BOD per se, because unless the whole theory is interpreted, re-interpreted, explained and debated, there is no possible way one would be able to learn or get a BOD out of any official docuмents of the Church because the term is nowhere to be found. This fact in and of itself condemns the idea of a BOD as nothing more than an idea, or a theological speculation.
The issue, IMO, is that BODers wholly and fully, and absolutely reject the indisputable fact that a BOD is contrary to so many of the Church's other clear, infallible and de fide teachings and doctrines.
For instance, can you name even one instance, just name one, where God, Who Personally mandated it's necessity for salvation, would not or could not provide the sacrament to one who sincerely desires it? Of course you can't, because if you did, you would be going contrary to the
Doctrine of Divine Providence. That's only one doctrine, there are many other doctrines one needs to reject in order for a BOD make it.
From a previous post, I said:
I like how Fr. Wathen put it in a sermon about NO heretics, had nothing to do with a BOD but I like the way he puts it......
"...All of you know very well, what God has revealed both in the Old Testament and through Christ and His Apostles, is one doctrine. Not only does it mean one thing, but it is a single, as it were, a single cloth woven from the top so that there are no seams, there is a perfect unity.
Therefore, anyone who in any way teaches contrary to any one of it’s doctrines, any part of this holy deposit, violates it’s holiness and of course the truth of God. And if anyone comes forth and presents a doctrine contrary to it, he necessarily rouses the ire of Almighty God because he substitutes his puny human ideas and preferences to the holiness of the Divine Revelation...""
