Assisi
Contrast: Archbishop Lefebvre and Benedict XVI
Explaining to Bishop Fellay
supporters why the SSPX cannot oppose the intra-religious prayer meetings at
Assisi because they have compromised essential first principles that make any
opposition possible.
Lumen Gentium, the 1989 Profession of
Faith, and the "Authentic Magisterium"
Bishop Fellay and the traitor Judas
critical Discussion concerning bishop
williamson’s Elesion Comments CCCLXVI
A charitable critique addressing
the relationship between the revealed truths of our faith and the authentic magisterium.
Important points defended without which it is
impossible to defend Catholic truth against its clerical enemies. Drew
discusses this problem in the context of the special chapter meeting of the
SSPX.
This exchange details some of the problems with Sedevacantism and explains how Sedevacantists
share a common error with Conservative Catholics. It is unfortunately true that most
Traditional Catholics share this same error.
Another discussion on the error of making
the pope the “rule of faith”
This exchange begins with one example of several
recent articles by a Catholics who hold that the pope is the “Rule of Faith”
and therefore whatever Pope Francis teaches must be followed because he speaks
for God. The same argument has been
repeated approvingly by numerous clerics such as Cardinal Blasé Cupich of Chicago.
The remote Rule of Faith is sacred Scripture and Tradition. The proximate Rule of Faith is Dogma. It is a serious error to hold the pope as the
rule of faith. Until this grave error is
understood to be nothing but papolatry, there can be
no effective defense of the revealed truths of our Catholic Faith against her
enemies.
This debate took place on CathInfo Forum. The exchange has
received over 75,000 viewings and many have commented that the discussion was
very helpful for them in understanding the nature of this problem and the
proper course to follow. Only those who keep dogma as their proximate rule of
faith will be able to keep their feet on the solid ground of revealed truth. The substance of the arguments develops
slowly but become well focused by the fourth page.
