I was reading the description of this book set and noticed a very interesting line.

Many Catholics living today can remember when priests were well trained in theology and could express the Faith properly in their sermons and in their writing. That is because they were given sound teaching at the seminary in Logic, Philosophy, and Dogmatic Theology from textbooks such as this 12 volume set. The famous Pohle-Preuss manual was used in many seminaries in America and other countries prior to the 1950's when seminary training began to go downhill.

This particular manual was used in the Jesuit seminary where Fr. Leonard Feeney, who was one called by his Jesuit superior "the greatest theologian we have in America...by far" was trained. This beautiful hardbound series is an exact reproduction of the edition originally published in 1911, and it was written by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph Pohle an edited by Arthur Preuss.

Joseph Pohle was a Jesuit and one of the founding faculty members of the Catholic University of America as well as a frequent contributor to the Catholic Encyclopedia. He died in 1922 after having produced one of the clearest and most succinct and useful systematic studies of Catholic theology ever published. This series is invaluable for priests, seminarians, and anyone interested in a systematic study of dogmatic theology.

What an interesting comment of praise. I think this is the same Feeney is that is wrongly attacked by many trads today..

You are right.  I read books such as the Boston Hersey Case. His side of the story.  Fr. Feeney was defending the Church. Defending against those watering down the dogma of no salvation outside the church.  He was just as strong Fr. Coughlin on radio.  Both were gagged, by who?  Vatican? Who? God will have His day!
Chances maybe that we will see both these priests in heaven.

Father Feeney was gagged by multiple people.  Bobby Kennedy heard Father Feeney speak and complained to Cushing about it.  Then there were a lot of Jews being converted at Harvard, so the Jews complained to Cushing (his sister was married to a Jew and they may have been cryptos).  Father Feeney's Jesuit superiors in the 1940s were open Modernist heretics, and they silenced him due to pressure from Cushing, although being Jesuits and believing in free thinking, they were somewhat reluctant to do so.  Finally, there were clearly some machinations from Cushing here, where he solicited that so-called Suprema Haec from the Holy Office, a docuмent which never appeared in Acta Apostolicae Sedis, and was therefore not considered authentic Magisterium, and which was only published in Cushing's own Irish Ecclesiastical Review, and only almost two years after it was allegedly written and signed, right after the Cardinal who allegedly signed it had died.  Cushing himself was a manifest heretic, as a biographer (who was favorable to him) quoted him as having said, "No salvation outside the Church?  Nonsense.  Nobody [including the Church, I guess, via dogmatic definition] is gonna tell me that Christ came to die for any select group." and at another time saying he'd never met anyone he thought might go to Hell.

Father Feeney, much maligned today by Trads (even more than conservative Novus Ordites), was the only one who basically saw Vatican II coming and who identified, beforehand, the root theological error behind Vatican II.

It is my understanding that Father Feeney was not a theologian.

Not technically.  I think his Jesuit superior used the term loosely or broadly.

"The greatest theologian we have in the United States, by far."

- Rev. John J. McEleny, S.J. (Father Feeney's Jesuit Provincial)



"The greatest theologian in the Catholic Church today."

- John Cardinal Wright (but later an enemy to the Center)



"One of the most outstanding prophets of our time."

- Hamish Fraser



Concerning “Bread of Life” by Fr. Leonard Feeney  --
 
Pope John XXIII assigned Monsignor Francis Cassano (deceased) to review and examine Bread of Life by Father Leonard Feeney.  He was to find any errors - nay, heresy.  He reported there was nothing "contrary to faith" in Bread of Life.  Msgr. Cassano eventually had a parish on the Hudson River and attested his conclusion to many people, including the Center itself.  (This Monsignor was not a "nobody" - he had also been assigned by Rome to investigate the case of the mystic stigmatist, Mother Aiello.)  We hear lots of calumnies from Rome (and others) about Fr. Feeney

 … But we never seem to hear of this particular report by Msgr. Cassano – which found no flaw in Father’s famous book, “Bread of Life.”

Unfortunately, on this forum Father Feeney is relegated to the virtual ghetto 

Were you there?

Fr. Feeney ran afoul of Cardinal Cushing because Cushing felt that Feeney was attacking his sister and brother in law and because young Bobby Kennedy complained about him. Cushinf was unjust.
But Fr did wrong by not obeying his superior and going to his new assignment. He was wrong in setting up that cultish living arrangement with his followers. He was wrong to break up married couples. He was wrong to forbid the children of his followers to be raised by their parents. He was wrong in attacking Maisie Ward his former friend and publisher. He was wrong in making fun of Mother Cabrini.

Were you there?  

I assume you're a Lefebvrite, correct? Is it also true that you're disobedient to what you perceive to be an Ecuмenical Council promulgated with Paul VI's so-called apostolic authority and over 60 years of encylicals, laws, disciplines, apostolic exhortations, etc., etc. from what you perceive to be the Catholic hierarchy?

If that is true, how can you consistently reproach Fr. Feeney for disobeying a vile heretic, B'nai B'rith man of the year, who called the salvation dogma nonsense and pioneered ecuмenical meetings while at the same time being okay with rejecting an ecuмenical council?

Not only this, but the sedevacantists who attack Father Feeney for disobeying Cushing are also in self-contradiction.  See, if ever there was a manifest heretic it was Cushing.  "No salvation outside the Church?  Nonsense." ... just to take one of dozens of heretical statements he made in public.  According to SV principles, then, Cushing was a manifest heretic and therefore no longer the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston.
