http://www.sspx.org/superior_generals_news/problems_causes_remedies.htmIn his book, The Salt of the Earth, Cardinal Ratzinger makes a keen analysis of the situation in the Church and concludes that
the Church as we have known it is finished! He says what will remain are
little groups which, like "the salt of the earth" will give some savor to the earth, to the Catholic Church, otherwise it will be exterminated. Nevertheless the cardinal is happy because certain ecclesiastical movements are giving life to the Church, for example, the charismatics. Though these movements are often controversial, he says,
at least there’s life. Something is moving! There are true heretics amongst these ecclesiastical movements, but
that doesn’t matter to the cardinal.
This was written in 1998, 7 years before Ratzinger was elected to the highest
office in the Church.
This explains why Ratzinger thinks differently than we might presume. We would
like to think that as Pope, he desires to protect the Church, but here, it says that
the Church as we have known it is finished. Therefore, there is nothing left to
protect!
We would like to think that Ratzinger interprets the Bible with a traditional sense,
but here we see that the Remnant, as "salt of the earth," gives savor to the earth,
the "earth" being the Catholic Church! So when Our Lord says the salt
loses its savor by the faithful accommodating the world, and then it is good for nothing
but to be cast out and trod upon underfoot, Ratzinger thinks that being trod upon
is
the normal situation, the way that the faithful give savor to the Church. This
is understood when we recognize that he believes that accommodation of the
world is a
good thing, and that explains why he touts his "hermeneutic of
continuity," which is basically accommodation with the world.
We would like to think that Ratzinger can see how the charismatics are tearing
down the fragile remnant of true Catholicism in the hearts and minds of the
faithful who get involved with them, but instead, Ratzinger thinks that this tearing
down is giving "life" to the Church, because it is "moving."
We would like to think that Ratzinger is wont to protect the Church from heresy,
but he says that the movement of a movement is more important than the heresy
of its adherents, because the moving quality is the life, and life is more important
than preventing heresy.
In everything we see and inspect, we find that this Ratzinger's understanding of
the Faith, of the Church, of the truth of Scripture and doctrine is an entire
REVERSAL of what we would expect.
This is DIABOLICAL DISORIENTATION at its fullest development, in the mind of
the man who then would become Pope! [/i]
That +Fellay would want to take part in this kind of thinking can only mean
one thing: he has become one of them, or, that he has been one of them all
along....................
