Quote from: The Penny Catechism

Neil, what's your point, other than being a contrarian who just want [sic] to argue and debate for the sake of debating....and arguing?

How many points would you like?

I realize you might expect there to be JUST ONE point to a member's posts, but when it's a topic as diffuse as Modernism, there can be hundreds of points.

Maybe you didn't read my posts, or if you did, you can't figure out which one point to settle on.

Here's a suggestion for you. Do you know where Modernism comes from? Do you understand this question? Can you define the word, "immanent?"

If you think you can, then you should be able to understand this post (but if you in fact cannot define it, then that explains why you can't see any 'point' in it):

Overall, members have done a pretty good job of answering the troll, trickster, regarding this question he has (which he isn't really interested in having answered). Centroamerica, for example, has given a link to the most excellent book A Catechism of Modernism, by Rev. Lemius. This fine manual of comprehension explains Pascendi so you can actually understand it, because Pascendi is not casual or "light" reading. Fr. Lemius was a personal friend of the saintly Cardinal Merry del Val, who actually deserves to be canonized, in contrast to certain others who have been, lately. That's Modernism in action BTW.

I must say that one item omitted is the most prominent aspect of Modernism, which explains its roots and its essence. This is missing from the 35 posts prior to this one.

Where does Modernism come from, and of what does it consist?

Modernism comes from the proposition stated by the philosopher:

"God is immanent."

In this one sentence is the whole sap and substance of what it consists.

Several entire books could be written on that one theme.

I think he is just trying to figure out what happened to trickster. There is no doubt that he is a troll of some kind, and not only that but he seems to have abandoned his post.

I find it noteworthy that he started this thread 5 days ago, making 7 posts in the first 13 hours, and then has disappeared -- but only from this thread, which he started, because, since that time on July 7th (his last post here) he has made 24 more posts on a wide range of threads from soup to nuts.

The first reasonable observation of this behavior is that he must not want to learn anything about Modernism, even though his thread title and OP asks a question about it. That is, that he asked a question, manifestly without wanting to be told the answer, which, BTW is evidenced from his subsequent 6 posts, as well.

It would seem that when he found out that other members were wise to his fake ruse, he just ran away. This is a typical reaction of Modernists, to any discussion of Modernism. In fact, not only does Pascendi explain this, but in case you don't quite comprehend the message, Fr. Lemius devotes several questions in his excellent book to this theme, for your edification -- that is, if you are truly interested in learning something, which, the OP author apparently is not.

The encyclical and the Catechism on it were both written a century ago, but they are MORE valid and appropriate to our time than they ever have been before, even at the time of their authorship.
