    To be fair, isn't this attributable to us all? Should we now pray God thanks, that we are not as other men?

  • What an honor to be quoted in such a manner!

    It would seem our poor friend LoT is suffering precisely the consequence that St. Augustine (my Confirmation saint) identified.  Augustine got it right.  And so did Fr. Feeney.

    I heartily recommend Desire and Deception by Charles Coulombe, and Bread of Life by Fr. Feeney.

  • Quote
    Now, the sacraments produce grace of themselves, ex opera operato, as the technical language of sacred theology says. They bring about this effect except where there is some disposition on the part of the recipient which is incompatible with the reception of the life of sanctifying grace. According to the terminology of the Cantate Domino, such an obstacle exists in a person who is "outside" the unity of the ecclesiastical body, the Mystical body of Jesus Christ. Fenton

    "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

  • The root cause of this poor man's monomaniacal obsession with the salvation of non-Catholics are his doubts about Divine Providence and God's Omniscience and Omnipotence. The difference between him and we who believe that dogmas are the final word on a subject that was previously in dispute, is that he believes that a person can be snatched away from God's Providence, we do not.

  • The Church Fathers taught Baptism of blood, but they did not teach Baptism of desire.

    Incorrect. See the quotes from St. Augustine and St. Ambrose above, 
    which clearly speak of Baptism of desire.

    His being sick doesn't preclude his also being wicked, and he is the latter, make no mistake or excuse.

  • Baptism of desire and/or blood only apply to catechumens.

    Incorrect. Only a small percentage of the quotes from the Church that we present above refer to catechumens specifically, while the majority do not. The letter from the Holy Office in 1949, referenced above, clarifies this.
    "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.

    Incorrect. See the quotes from St. Augustine and St. Ambrose above,
    which clearly speak of Baptism of desire.

    Ignoring the fact that St. Augustine retracted his opinion, that St. Ambrose's speech was ambiguous at best, and that 7-8 Church Fathers rejected it outright.

    But carry on, LoT, with your diabolical crusade to undermine EENS and the Sacraments.

  • Pope Pius XII did not approve, or did not know about the letter from the Holy Office in 1949.

    Incorrect. Looking at the letter from the Holy Office (
    here), the introductory letter from Archbishop Cushing clearly states, "The Supreme Pontiff, His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, has given full approval to this decision". Still, some have actually tried to argue that it is not certain Pope Pius XII approved of the original letter since it was only signed by two Cardinals who worked for Pope Pius XII. This argument is beyond absurdity; imagine two executives publishing a letter for all the world to see, stating that their CEO approved of the letter, when in actuality he did not. What would happen? The CEO would very quickly find out about the letter published in his name, the executives who sent the letter fraudulently would most likely be terminated (or at least seriously reprimanded), and the letter would be retracted. Of course nothing of the sort happened with the letter from the Holy office in 1949; the letter was published in 1952 in several well-known Catholic references with imprimatur, including Canon Law Digest, The Church Teaches, the Catholic Mind, and the American Ecclesiastical Review, and Pope Pius XII reigned for another 6 years without saying a word.

  • In the letter it criticizes Father Feeney for speaking against catechetical  instructions approved by the competent authority. That would be Cushing himself and the main teaching which precipitated this controversy was what was being taught at Boston College with the approval of the competent authority.
    A bit of research will show that the disputed teaching which was taking place was clearly heretical, and that is what the SBC were basing their charges of Cushing being a heretic. Which it can be shown that he was.
    Fr. Feeney was told to stop teaching the foundational dogma of the Church because it was "causing problems" for the authorities among the non-Catholics and Jєωs.

    It is a sorry wagon that LoH and his ilk, hitch their wagon to.

  • Father Leonard Feeney was excommunicated only for disobedience, not for going against the faith.

    Incorrect. The letter from the Holy Office in 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston (
    hereclearly states, "Furthermore, it is beyond understanding how a member of a religious Institute, namely Father Feeney, presents himself as a "Defender of the Faith," and at the same time does not hesitate to attack the catechetical instruction proposed by lawful authorities...". The circuмstances surrounding the excommunication were printed in an article in "The Catholic Advance" on February 27, 1953, which can be seen here. Pope Pius XII made three separate requests for Father Feeney to come to Rome. Clearly this meeting was to be about Father Feeney's denial of a Catholic doctrine, but when he did not show for the hearing, this was the final straw.

    Logic continues to elude your heresy-riddled mind.  As I mentioned, the only affirmation that Pius XII approved this comes from none other than Cushing.  It's circular evidence.  We know this letter is authentic because it says it is.

    Correct.  Applying LoT's own principles, the See of Boston was vacant due to manifest heresy on the part of Cushing.

  • Ultimate truth.  The TRUTH Himself.  Jesus Christ.  All truths.  I hate falsity and love truth.  

    "...Except when it is convenient for me to calumniate a priest, as I calumniated Monsignor Francis Cassano by calling him a Mason when he wasn't.  But he deserved this because he said there was nothing wrong with the theology of Fr. Feeney in his book, 'Bread of Life,' when I wanted him to say it was full of heresy and nastiness.  I also hate falsity and love truth, except when I deny that I called Feeneyites the same as pedophiles, and then posted that I "never said' that.  Someone found my post and re-posted it, but I am ignoring this my lie and wicked assertion, the same way I am ignoring how I calumniated Monsignor Cassano, because I like the sound of crickets - and I also like the sound of my footsteps as I run away from owning up to my public errors. But despite all this,  the main thing to remember is I really do hate falsity and love truth.  All this helps the readers of my theological posts to believe that I really have personal integrity, and they can therefore trust my miles of sound theories, and scintillating logic."
