  • Not sure I can answer that. In any event, I need you to elaborate.
    I saw you quote the St. Pius X Catechism and Trent Catechism so it made me curious what BoD you are defending here... As I've generally seen you quoting the Trent Catechism in BoD debates.
    Regard all of my posts as unfounded slander, heresy, theologically specious etc
    I accept Church teaching on Implicit Baptism of Desire.
    Francis is Pope.
    NO is a good Mass.

  • Bringing the topic back from a broader debate on BoD.

    1) I have never denounced classic BoD (as understood and articulated by Sts. Thomas, Bellarine, Alphonsus) as gravely erroneous or harmful to souls.  I have in fact defended it against those charges.  That quote you brought as evidence was taken out of context, where I'm denouncing the extended Pelagians notion of BoD, a notion which has NEVER been taught by the Magisterium in any way, shape, or form ... not even by these Doctors.

    2) I have never held the position that every proposition contained in any text produced by the Magisterium is infallible and guaranteed inerrant.  I have if fact repeatedly disagreed on this point with the dogmatic SVs who exaggerate the scope of infallibility (in their battle with R&R).  They too fail to distinguish between infallibility in the strict sense and the overall substantial inerrancy of the Magisterium.

    With these two distinctions, which I have explained several times already, and have been very firm about for years, the alleged "contradiction" (what Johnson called "hypocrisy") goes away.  In your assertion of "contradiction" there's an implicit double straw-manning of my views:  1) attributing to me the denunciation of BoD as heretical or gravely erroneous that the Dimond Brothers make (and with which I have always disagreed) and 2) attributing to me the position of some dogmatic SVs that the Magisterium is absolutely inerrant.

    What I have called heretical is the attribution of grave error to the Magisterium and also to the Church's Universal Discipline (particularly the Mass), and the litmus test for determining whether you've crossed this line is when you claim that the error is so grave that you can no longer remain in submission to and communion with the hierarchy without endangering your faith.  If you claim that "in order to remain Catholic, I must separate from the hierarchy" ... THAT is what's heretical.

    Had Vatican II and the NOM never happened, no Catholic would feel the need to start their own parallel church to disagree on the subject of BoD.  You'd merely respectfully disagree with the popular interpretation of BoD and fight that as a theological debate from within the Church.  [As an aside, Father Feeney didn't either.  He was just unjustly kicked out, and his excommunication had nothing to do with BoD.  Technically it was just because he failed to show up to a hearing in Rome, and it was unjust even on the legal grounds for why he failed to sow for the hearing, as Canon Law indicated he had the right to be informed of the charges so he could prepare an adequate defense.  Nor was Father Feeney give the boot over BoD, a position which he categorized as an opinion and came up with later.  He was kicked out because he simply upheld EENS dogma, while Cardinal Cushing openly denied it:  "No salvation outside the Church?  Nonsense."]

    You can safely ignore any of their arguments.  These are the same people who claim that an Ecuмenical Council can teach grave error to the Church and that the Magisterium can go completely off the rails in anything short of solemn definitions of dogma.  Yet they have the TEMERITY to use the Catechism of St. Pius X (or even the Roman Catechism). as evidence for why Catholics must accept BoD.

    :laugh1:

    If an Ecuмenical Council can teach grave error, then a fortiori so could a Catechism, and so could anything else, for that matter, that doesn't strictly meet the notes of infallibility.

    In pretending they were exposing a "contradiction" in my position, they've ironically exposed THEIR obvious contradiction.  Venturing off onto the subject of BoD backfired on them.  In fact, with their position, it's impossible to know whether Pius IX got it wrong about Religious Liberty or whether Vatican II did ... other than their own private judgment, by which they determine that Pius IX was right and Vatican II was wrong ... thus making themselves into their own Magisterium (the precise role of which is to make that exact determination, whether any given proposition is consistent with Tradition).

    It's just so much hogwash.

  • Catechism of Trent

    Baltimore catechism

    1) Catechism of Trent does not teach BoD ... that's reading into it something that isn't there.  This has been amply proven in various  BoD debates.

    2) Baltimore Catechism has error in it (Msgr Fenton called out a couple himself.)

    3) Neither one of these sources is infallible.  You had Irish Catechisms before Vatican I that taught against papal infallibility (and were revised after Vatican I on account of that error).

  • I have zero problems with the position articulated by Archbishop Lefebvre, and much less with that of Father Chazal.  Unfortunately, however, the Archbishop failed to provide the necessary clarity to prevent certain people from morphing his position into what we see articulated by Sean and others.  They [falsely] hide behind Archbishop Lefebvre, and I've noticed that the thing that sets Johnson off the most (what in this thread inspired him to call me a sodomite) ... is when you pull that rug out of under him.

    Yes, where +ABL failed, we have your profound insight. From where do you get your insight? Directly from God? Or maybe from an apparition or private revelation?

    Fortunately, +ABL did not think himself to know the mind of God, as you apparently do. He said many times that the Crisis is a mystery. And, moreover, he did not continually call other traditional Catholic heretics and schismatics, as you do here. I'll take +ABL any day, thank you. 
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    Well, "if some unexpected event hinders so that they are unable to be washed by the saving water" seems clear to me.  Then again, I am no theologian or scholar.

    The beauty of the Catholic Faith is that not all of it is in writing, just as not all the words Our Lord spoke while on Earth is in the Bible.  The Catholic Faith includes tradition.

    If the Baltimore Catechism, from 1885, has error, certainly the Church has had time to correct the error and/or put the book on the Prohibited Book list.  At the very least,  i would think She would not use it in Her schools and catechism classes.

    Yes, I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but it's clear that you are a phony.

    The fact that you refuse to discuss non-Catholics going to Hell is more proof of that.  You are now on ignore.

    Do I have to preface every single comment and post that I make with :  "It is my opinion that ..."?  It should be taken for granted that every post under "Ladislaus" is the opinion of Ladislaus.

  • Bringing the topic back from a broader debate on BoD.

    1) I have never denounced classic BoD (as understood and articulated by Sts. Thomas, Bellarine, Alphonsus) as gravely erroneous or harmful to souls.  I have in fact defended it against those charges.  That quote you brought as evidence was taken out of context, where I'm denouncing the extended Pelagians notion of BoD, a notion which has NEVER been taught by the Magisterium in any way, shape, or form ... not even by these Doctors.

    If this is addressed to me, this is totally irrelevant to my argument. You do say BOD is error, yes, and that a person could not be saved by a BOD, right? The argument has nothing to do with whether you think BOD is heresy or harmful or not. It is enough that you believe that the Magisterium has taught error about justification and the grace of God in its universal ordinary Magisterium. The ramifications of that to your "indefectibility" argument and claim that the R & R are heretics because of their ascribing to the Magisterium error that violates a theory of indefectibility that your own beliefs stand on its head - it shows your position up to be inconsistent, self-defeating, and therefore necessarily wrong on at least one of its fronts (your position on indefectibility, or on BOD) . . . this is the argument. 

    For a man that draws distinctions, you're utterly incapable of recognizing a distinction in your opponent's argument. Is that willful? A defense mechanism activated by the subconscious to blind you to a distinction you can't handle, so that you see an argument that isn't there, which you can handle, and engage that?


    2) I have never held the position that every proposition contained in any text produced by the Magisterium is infallible and guaranteed inerrant.  I have if fact repeatedly disagreed on this point with the dogmatic SVs who exaggerate the scope of infallibility (in their battle with R&R).  They too fail to distinguish between infallibility in the strict sense and the overall substantial inerrancy of the Magisterium.

    That you "never held" that position is immaterial to the argument. Again, an utter failure to draw distinctions. Read the above again. And again. And again . . . 

    With these two distinctions, which I have explained several times already, and have been very firm about for years, the alleged "contradiction" (what Johnson called "hypocrisy") goes away.  In your assertion of "contradiction" there's an implicit double straw-manning of my views:  1) attributing to me the denunciation of BoD as heretical or gravely erroneous that the Dimond Brothers make (and with which I have always disagreed) and 2) attributing to me the position of some dogmatic SVs that the Magisterium is absolutely inerrant.

    As stated, your distinctions are irrelevant, evade the argument, and the contradiction remains. 

    What I have called heretical is the attribution of grave error to the Magisterium and also to the Church's Universal Discipline (particularly the Mass), and the litmus test for determining whether you've crossed this line is when you claim that the error is so grave that you can no longer remain in submission to and communion with the hierarchy without endangering your faith.  If you claim that "in order to remain Catholic, I must separate from the hierarchy" ... THAT is what's heretical.

    Yes, that is your position. It has no warrant in Church teaching regarding indefectibility, etc. It is a novelty that exposes you to inconsistency (since you claim you maintain the traditional teaching of the Magisterium on indefectibility while rejecting its teaching on BOD - which you should, if consistent, recognize as true and inerrant regarding grace and the justification of sinners by GOD), and gravely damages your credibility severely. 

    Had Vatican II and the NOM never happened, no Catholic would feel the need to start their own parallel church to disagree on the subject of BoD . . .

    True. A Sede who does not reject the OUM prior to Vatican II could make your argument, and others have, very capably. Had you not gone off on R & R, accusing them of being heretics, etc., with all of your own ridiculous baggage about the Magisterium and BOD, and not been such a hypocritical Pharisee, I'd not have felt the need to confront you, either.

    But, alas . . . here we are. 

    Not having the time to cut and paste etc. to deal with this, my comments are in red above. 
    Rom. 3:25 Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins"

    Absolutely and utter garbage in your post.  As the last dozen times I've hade to make these same distinctions for you, they go right over your head, and  you ignore them, and repost the same crap.  I see that I'll have to translate it down to the kindergarten level for you to comprehend.  But, then, I don't think you really don't get it.  I don't think you want to get it, since you're invested in your heresy.

    You keep repeating the same idiotic dichotomy that I rejected based on the distinctions I made (and which you continue to ignore) and gratuitously dismiss as "irrelevant" simply because you either can't or (more likely) won't understand them.  All you seem to understand is "either there's error in the Magisterium or there isn't".  You completely ignore the fact that I do not deny that there CAN be error in the Magisterium, but not the DEGREE of error that you blasphemously attribute to the Catholic Church.

    You continue to pertinaciously promote heresy and you'll have to answer to God for it.

  • I saw you quote the St. Pius X Catechism and Trent Catechism so it made me curious what BoD you are defending here... As I've generally seen you quoting the Trent Catechism in BoD debates.

    Bodeens,

    I am not defending BOD here; that's not what this is about. I am pointing out an inconsistency in Lad's position. He puts himself up front and center regarding an R & R "heresy" he can't tolerate and must expose and confront, blah, blah, blah, for the sake of Holy Mother Church . . . and yet he twists Trent like no other Catholic pope, bishop, doctor, saint, theologian, etc. He rejects the Magisterium on BOD and yet excoriates R & R for rejecting the Magisterium. As his guide, Monsignor Fenton, wrote:


    Quote
    The statement that the Church (not merely the “soul” or the “body” of the Church) is necessary for salvation with the necessity of means in such a way that no man can be saved unless he is within the Church either in re or by either an explicit or an implicit votum must be considered as an accurate statement of the revealed teaching on the Church’s necessity for eternal salvation and as the standard terminology of most modern theologians on this subject.


    http://www.catholicapologetics.info/modernproblems/ecuмenism/members.htm

    Lad rejects that, and . . . 

    I trust you get the point of bringing BOD up here.
