    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    Science cannot tell us whether or not it is moral to engage in certain acts because science does not deal with questions of moral licitness. As for alienating people, let them be alienated. The truth (if Catholicism is indeed true) is what it is and if the majority reject then so be it. 2...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    Because we're taking about a synod where fundamental Catholic teaching pertaining to the moral law is being openly questioned and attacked. No one who wasn't born yesterday can fail to see the clear agenda of this charade. That agenda is an explicit call for the Church to change her teaching in...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    If the "Synod on Synodality" results in the Church formally embracing heresy. That is the Church implements a program of reform wherein the Church's teachings on women's ordination and sexual morality are overturned for a more "progressive" direction then I will be almost certainly done with...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    Yes, I deny the authority of the Magisterium to endorse gay marriage. I deny the authority of the Magisterium to reject the indissolubility of marriage. I deny the authority of the Magisterium to ordain women. As I would deny the Magisterium's authority to deny the divinity of Christ. The pope...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    You're missing the point and it's not a hard point to grasp. The Church may change in its structure, governance and discipline but it cannot change what has been passed down to it in regards to faith and morals. Scripture is clear that unrepentant sexual sin renders a person illegible for...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    The motives are as clear as day. It you who is pretending that its all so much more sophisticated than it actually is. And if the synod ends with Catholic teaching being overturned (yes the early Church taught that sexual sin damns a person to Hell, as does the New Testament) then I will...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    The early Church was downright brutal in its discipline. No, the current project of those running the Church has nothing to do with "compassion". The project is to align the Church with the opinions of the secular west. The creed is Modernism and its liturgical language is German.

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    I'm tired of hearing this. As if it somehow justifies the decades of iconoclasm which has banalized the Roman Rite since the close of Vatican II. Not everything needs to be divine revelation to be important. Let's state the bleeding obvious. The suppression of the Latin Mass and much of the...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    You know what... Forget everything. It has become clear to me that the Church today exists in a state of intractable self contradiction. Since truth cannot be contradictory something must give way. Either Francis and the bishops affirm what the Church has previously taught or they change the...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    I interpret that as not a denial of any potential for moral corruption within the hierarchy but that the teaching of the Church itself is protected from moral error. My contention is that the Church's teaching on sexual ethics do indeed touch upon what is essential. The faith is not credible if...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    I generally avoid private revelation but there are long established prophecies made by various saints throughout the centuries about a future apostasy which will nearly destroy the Church. God will temporary permit it before intervening. In any case, Christ promised the Church will endure until...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    Religion is nothing more than one's duty to God. And God has been very clear about our duty before him in terms of morality. Those who persist in unrepentant sexual sin will not be saved. The normalization of sexual sin will do nothing to alleviate the spiritual consequences of said sins. The...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    Changing Church doctrine in a progressive direction will do nothing to benefit the Church. It has been tried by mainline Protestantism. Nor can it happen if the Church is indefectible. It is an article of the Catholic faith that Christ founded a church. He founded the Church and bestowed upon...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    That the Church is corrupt is not a question of dispute. But the sexual and financial shenanigans of clerics is not the question I am concerned with here. The question is the truth of the Catholic faith itself. The pope has brought the whole faith into question. He has brought the faith into...

    The Synod of Catholic Falsification

    I have been thinking a lot about Catholicism lately and what I do or do not believe. Whether or not Rome's claims are credible given that the Francis papacy has done much in my eyes to undermine said claims. Nonetheless whether or not Bergoglio himself personally holds to heretical ideas is a...

    Not really. Having a "spooky" themed day of revelry every year; when children dress up in costumes and eat confectionary is innocent fun. To think that alone somehow glorifies the Devil is absurd. That's not to say there's no danger in Halloween. People who use the festival as an opportunity to...

    The Bible and the Revealed Logos

    For a while now I have been struggling with the question of Biblical inspiration. Whether the Bible has been revealed by God or whether it is little more than an ancient tome of human origin. Well today a thought came to me regarding this question. I recalled that in John 1:1-14 Jesus is...

    That Halloween has been stripped of its Christian context (Allhallowtide) is unfortunate but that nonetheless does not make Halloween traditions harmful. (In and of themselves). As for communicating with the dead you are correct. But to pray for the dead, beseeching God to have mercy upon the...

    Where is the sin? Where is the sin in fun children's game of costumes and candy consumption? Dour puritanism aside, I see no moral danger in trick-or-treating. Sure, threating to harm a person or their property would be against Christian moral teaching. Obviously not. But no one claims that...

    Stealing when you're hungry.

    Saint Thomas argues that extreme need removes the guilt of theft because everyone has the right to the maintenance of their own life. It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another's property in a case of extreme need: because that which he takes for the support of his...
