"The Holy Father (Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, Aug 15, 1832) censures in severe terms Indifferentism, or the pretense that one religion is as good as another, and that it makes no difference of what religion a man is, whether of any or none, providing he maintains a certain moral decorum.  We need not dwell on this, for we have made many enemies by the earnestness with which we have insisted on the dogma that there is no salvation out of the Church.   There are here and elsewhere many Catholics who are latitudinarian in their feelings, and are quite shocked to hear the doctrine of exclusive salvation asserted.  They regard that doctrine as uncharitable, bigoted, intolerant, and altogether unsuitable to the liberal and enlightened age in which we live.  We are, we think, in no danger of being included in their number, and we leave them to settle the matter with the doctrine of the Church so as to escape the Papal censure, the best way they can."

  • I've mentioned before that the undermining of EENS has been underway for centuries and did not just magically appear at Vatican II.  Unfortunately, many/most of the Trad clergy are afflicted with this poison themselves, which is why Karl Rahner marveled that this transition, which he believed to be the most revolutionary aspect of Vatican II, went unnoticed by the conservative Fathers.

    What does that even mean? Who is that person?
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

  • "Based" is internet lingo for someone who says it like it is (or the truth) without being afraid of the consequences.  Usually someone who goes "against the narrative" is referred to as "based."  So his name "Basedson" is "based" (pun intended) on Brownson being "based."

    Thanks for translating for us geezers, EWPJ. 

    Kids and their lingo these days! ;)
    If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
