Rule Violator #2: JPaul

  • Asked whether Archbishop Lefebvre contradicted the Council of Trent by calling the NOM evil, JPaul responded,

     “If he did not reject the New Order service as such [per se, SJ] then yes he was.”

    Well, not only did ABL reject the per se invalidity of the NOM, but actively endorsed participation of it in the early years, and like BW, even allowed exceptional attendance at it in the mid/late 1980s, per Fr. Crowdy.

    Therefore, according to JPaul, ABLs position was against the faith, and he becomes Violator #2.

  • Logic is not your strength, SeanJohnson.

    Just because you say that the NOM might be valid doesn't mean you consider it good and Catholic.

    Just because you say that some people can attend it under certain circuмstances (basing it on the moral theology regarding material participation) doesn't mean you consider it OBJECTiVELY good and Catholic.

    Both +Lefebvre and +Williamson clearly consider the NOM defective/bad/non-Catholic.

    ...after which point (long after the 1981 Pledge of Fidelity), he continued to permit people in difficult circuмstances to participate in the NOM, per the testimony of Fr Crowdy in the UK.

    Duh...
    Pretty sure you are familiar with my published work making those same arguments (but then reading comprehension is often an impediment to partisanship, and must frequently yield to it).

    I don't care what you think you have.  I'm just bored with you and choose to no longer entertain you.  If Matthew wants to ban me, he's already got plenty of grounds and ammunition.  Your trolling posts add nothing.

  • The Novus Ordo is not a work of the Catholic Church. That has been my opinion for over ten years.

    Thank you Sean,  The Church says that no matter the circuмstance, it is a mortal sin to approach a doubtful sacrament. You can make what you will of that.   You may also want to consider renaming your position to that of Modified Novus Ordo. MNO, instead of R&R. That more accurately reflects its true nature, and dispenses with the implied contradiction of R&R.
     The Faith of the Catholic Church is not represented by the Archbishop's theological opinions of the Novus Ordo, and to disagree with them is not a defection from the Catholic Faith, and that is what really counts in times of confusion.

    Neither form, matter, or intention of the NOM are necessarily doubtful.
    The minister may or may not be, depending.
    Consequently, the NOM is not in every instance doubtful (but remains evil despite possiblity of confecting a valid sacrament).
    I find the honesty of your rejection of ABL quite refreshing, despite my opposition to it.
