There is no point in trying to figure out what's wrong with bad thinking
like this from the standpoint of the bad thinking itself.
Similarly, you can't see what's wrong with protestantism or Buddhism
from the point of reference inside the false religion.
If you insist on discussing that quote and what you like about it or
what it means to you or how wonderful you feel when you read it or
how many ways it can make you think it "means" something to you,
even though you have no idea of what it "means" to someone else,
then there is nothing I can do for you. One of the principles of this
modern philosophy nonsense is, that there is no "meaning" at all.
Did you know that? Or is knowledge itself unknowable?
If you cannot set yourself free from bad thinking, then you will just
end up spending all your time, and your life, in bad thinking.
So have it your way.
There is principally one primal heresy, and it has three parts:
There is no truth;
Even if there were truth, it cannot be known;
Even if it could be known, it cannot be communicated.
Do you know what these three entities are a reflection of?

Yeah well I think youre just mouthing off and that you have no idea what you are talking about. You cant play the Catholic card and say that Catholics should not be interested in philosophy, because Philosophy is studied along with theology for the priesthood and there are statues and paintings about philosophy itself in the Vatican. I am no less a Catholic because I take an interest in these things, I take truth from everywhere, and that is what makes a Catholic.
You have entirely missed the point, soulguard.
No Catholic priest studies Kant in seminary unless it's a Communist
fake seminary. Philosophy is in fact part of the curriculum, but it is
good, solid
philosophia perennis, not
the rotten garbage of Kant.Your "interest in these things" should be directed at that which is
good, not that which is pernicious. If you want to study visual arts,
do you focus on pornography to the exclusion of all else? Same topic.
Is there no truth in pornography? Do you take truth from Zoroastrianism
or the Big Thumb or the devil worshippers of the Aztecs?
Take a perfectly good butter pecan cake and put one drop of cyanide
inside of it. Is the cake devoid of any goodness? Is there not still
parts of it that are wholesome and delicious, if not fattening? Does
that mean you should still have a slice, as you are wont to do with
poisoned philosophy? Would you serve it to your family just being
careful to avoid that spot where the cyanide is located? If you can
remember where that is, of course. It was dropped in FIRST and then
the icing was spread on LATER. Where is the spot?? Is it not
important?
Maybe you like to look for 'truths' in the docuмents of Vatican II, or in
the abominable AFD of Fellay, which is pure Modernism (the Grand Sewer
of all heresies)?
You're sounding just like the progeny of JPII and B16 or even Francis.
Listen up, soulguard: I am giving you a reasonable chance to learn something.
If you're going to be impudent, insulting and pugnatious, you are not
ready to learn anything. If Our Lord Himself were to walk up to you
and you had something like this to say to Him, would he give you a
second chance?
I require an apology from you. You accused me of "mouthing off."
That is not allowable. I was doing no such thing. You have insulted
me and I take extreme umbrage with your mocking tone.
Kant promoted an existentialist/relativist worldview and consequently his philosophy is utterly at odds with Catholicism.
Thank you, TheKnightVigilant. I'm glad to see someone is not yet lost here.
Kant promoted an existentialist/relativist worldview and consequently his philosophy is utterly at odds with Catholicism.
What is wrong with the quote from him? And if nothing, is it not possible that he will speak the truth at least sometimes?
Maybe you should read what I posted above again, and this time,
pay attention. I'm not going to repeat it because it's already here.
I said what I meant and I meant what I said, and if that's too much
for you then have it your way. Too bad for you.
In the fresco of the Last Judgment by Michelangelo, his depiction of
Our Blessed Mother and the expression on her face is a lesson to all
who have eyes to see. And for those without eyes to see, so be it.
Soulguard, Neil gave you sound advice. Philosophy is the handmaiden of theology and not the other way around. A tiny number of men, whom Neil has named for you, are worthy of a Catholic's time.
The most grave sin of all, liberalism - and that as detailed by Fr. Felix Sarda y Sylvany in his classic, compact work, "Liberalism Is A Sin" - is so lethal inasmuch as it is an attack on faith in God and His Revelation.
You would do very well indeed for yourself and for the world were you to more closely follow Neil's advice and the teachings of Aquinas and Aristotle instead of toying with the liberals of the world like Kant, a man whose impact on undisciplined Catholic minds has been devastating.
The very word philosophy means the love of truth.
And Truth is a Divine Person. One Who has bestowed great honor upon His humble son, Thomas Aquinas.
Here is a free, online edition of "Liberalism Is A Sin" for your perusal.

If you want to learn you have to get rid of Kant, Hegel, Hume, Locke,
Fichte, Nietzsche, Whitehead, Comte, Dewey, Marx, Darwin, Blavatsky,
Stalin, Hitler, Lenin, Alinsky, etc., etc., etc.
Get rid of them or else they will rot your mind.
If you want your mind to be rotten, then not even God can help you.
The human will is a hard thing, and God gives you that for a reason: so
that you have the power to reject His truth. The devils in hell believe in
God and tremble.
