Still haven't found that letter online.
But as to Introibo, he seems to hold to the Thomist position as enunciated by Father Muller:
Good for Introibo. I'm even more sorry for my spurious implication about him.
Unfortunately, as I said, he believes in "implicit faith" and is one of the vilest heretics who hates EENS dogma.
4. Explicit faith is necessary for BOD and BOB; implicit faith (invincible ignorance) will not save. (These Feeneyites reject Church teaching, especially that of Pope Pius IX).
I was upbraided on Twitter by a Feeneyite in category #4 above. He claimed my post on "Self-Approved Theologians" of 11/22/21 made me a "heretic" since I accept implicit BOD. When I called him a Feeneyite, he rejected the appellation. Feeneyites are all those heretics who reject in whole or in part Church dogma on BOD and BOB. Of course, when I challenged my Twitter adversary to a written debate on a neutral forum, he declined and "bravely ran away" like all Feeneyites I've ever known.
This post will refute the "four degrees" of Feeneyism, especially those who deny BOD is available to those in invincible ignorance and have implicit faith (category #4 above). [Please note that this post will refer to Leonard Feeney without the title "Fr." Despite being a valid priest, he forfeits his right to his clerical title when solemnly excommunicated by the pope. Hence, we speak of Martin Luther, not "Fr. Luther."
Besides mocking Our Lord's words "if you believe not that I am He you shall die in your sins", and John 3:5, Introibo believes a whole host of lies of the most idiotic kind.
In short, Introibo believes in evolution, the Big Bang theory, that the Earth is billions of years old, heliocentrism, the theory of relativity (that is the bending of space-time
), the official 9/11 narrative, the official Sandy Hook nareative, the moon landing, and pretty much everything else "the experts" say and if you doubt these things he'll mock you like a lunatic.
In like manner, he doesn't believe in the magisterium as the proximate rule of faith but "approved theologians" who explain the magisterium to mean the opposite of what it says.
He also believes Fr. Feeney was possessed.
Here are some statements from Introibo, I'm sure there's a lot more I missed.
In all that time, I've met Traditionalists (both in person and online) who give credence to a variety of things which I consider to be whacky ideas. They include (but are not limited to) the Earth being flat, every Jєω in the world (yes, every single one) is part of a massive conspiracy to enslave humanity, 9/11 never took place and involved no Moslems, every single school shooting in the U.S. was a hoax, and werewolves are real. I do not share any of those convictions, and I will not get involved in protracted discussions regarding them. Personally, I think they make Traditionalists look and sound foolish, and it becomes harder to win converts.
If someone wants to believe the Earth is flat and/or the center of the universe, they can do so and also be true Catholics (although the former science teacher in me winces in intellectual pain to realize people can think that way). Hence, I will only argue the theological points, and not against the alleged "scientific proofs" of geocentrism.
As to evolution, the formation of the body can be admitted
Prior to the 1920s, scientists had always assumed the universe was stationary and eternal. In 1917, Einstein applied his new General Theory of Relativity to cosmology, and found that it would not permit an eternal, static model of the universe unless he fudged the equations in order to offset the gravitational effect of matter. This was the beginning of what would lead to the "Big Bang Theory," accepted by all scientists today. The standard model describes a universe which is not not eternal in the past, but which came into being a finite time ago. Not only all matter and energy, but even time and space themselves came into being at the initial cosmological singularity out of nothing or ex nihil. This is exactly the teaching of the Church!!
Thank you for this info. I like to stay on top of such things, as advances in science can only help prove God. However, we must be careful. I know of not one reputable scientist which holds to such an opinion. I would be most interested if you could cite me the video. I'll warn you and all my readers about a movie called "The Principle" released in 2014 by V2 apologist Robert Sungenis.
As a life-long New Yorker who was here on 9/11 as it unfolded, I can tell you that the majority of what was reported was accurate.
You would have me deny the infallibility of the One True Church of Christ while thinking the earth is the center of the universe, and 9/11 was a conspiracy. Oh, boy.
At the risk of sounding uncharitable, please forgive me if I decline to join you in this alternate "reality."
All lies? All delusional? Not a chance. People are now claiming no one was killed at Newtown [Sandy Hook] in 2012; it was rigged by the government.
Please.
Relativity is one of the most well-tested and thoroughly solid ideas in all of science for all time. It is literally tested millions of times a day in particle accelerators. We see it in every cosmological observation, every star that explodes in the sky, every time a nuclear power plant generates even an iota of energy.
Yes, the moon landing was faked. So were the Columbine and Newtown shootings. Elvis faked his death and works as a clerk in my local supermarket. UFOs led by Bigfoot control the media and all people (except you) through mind control techniques. Don't forget to wear your tinfoil hat before you go to sleep.
7. Conspiracy theorists are people who disregard the manifest weight of the credible evidence to believe things that they wish to believe. That's you. Go away from where the evidence leads; the hallmark of a conspiracy theorist.
His mind is in a truly diabolical fog.
