CI Discussion with Possible Implications for the Resistance
« on: October 12, 2018, 09:42:17 AM »
There is a thread in the Flat Earth subforum in which the OP claims that a resistance priest has written an article in support of flat earth.  It reproduces the article which takes the position that St. Thomas did not believe and teach that the earth is a sphere.

I have no difficulty identifying the severe flaws in the article, but I am curious about the implications for the resistance if there is, in fact, a resistance priest who is a flat earther.  This aspect of the discussion exceeds my knowledge base, but there are many here who could offer informed opinions on the subject.  Since so few people regularly read the Flat Earth subforum, I wanted to ask this as a separate question.  Here is my post in the original thread, seeking input:  https://www.cathinfo.com/the-earth-god-made-flat-earth-geocentrism/flat-earth-priest-responds-to-tradidi-claims-over-st-thomas/msg630165/#msg630165

I am not sure if Matthew would prefer us to discuss this as a continuation of the original thread or to discuss it here restricting it solely to the question of whether the resistance would be harmed by one of its priests identifying himself as a flat earther.  Perhaps he can offer some instruction.

People nowadays are so used to "group think" that if one person in a movement has a differing view, then it clouds the entire group (this is just a communist tactic, based on emotion, which communists use to attack their opponents by pointing out "flaws" which aren't flaws but simply normal human disagreements in an organization.  On the contrary, when such disagreements arise in the communist party, they write it off as "his personal opinion".  Just another example of the double-standard which is inherent in communism and other deceitful movements).  

This just isn't logical.  If you were in the army and able to be a 'fly on the wall' of some of the high-level tactical meetings, you'd hear all sorts of disagreements and major confrontations.  But once the meeting is done, the General makes the decision and that's what the "rest of the army" hears - the General's decision.  You could also say that's how the Church works (or is supposed to).  Both the military and the Church are effective because of a hierarchy and an efficient structure.

In the case of the democratic process or a simple organization (especially volunteer ones), you'll never have the same level of hierarchy or obedience because the level of obedience required is lower than that of the military or the Church.  In the case of the Resistance, it's basically a volunteer organization of priests who decide to work together.  And, even if they took a vow to +Williamson, because the organization is in its infancy, the 'rules and regs' are probably minimal and not developed enough to address if or when a priest should comment on the topic of 'flat earth'.

So, if one priest in the Resistance speaks about 'flat earth', I say "who cares?"  Does this priest speak for the entire Resistance?  No.  Does he mean to speak for the entire Resistance?  No.  Does his opinion change the scope or purpose of the Resistance?  No.

So why does it matter what he thinks?  Why would the resistance be harmed?

Jayne isn't a communist, I'm simply saying we've all been brainwashed by communist logic and the communist media to easily criticize a group based on 1 member who has a differing view than the overall group.  I'm simply pointing out a logic flaw which we've all been conditioned to accept.  Not calling anyone names.

Excellent response, Pax.
