    "Progressives" in the NT?

    This is from the USCCB on-line Scripture, NABRE, 2nd Letter of John: I had never, in previous readings of verse 9, had gnosticism in mind in understanding what "going ahead" might mean. Now, hearing the DDF head Card. Fernández explain the higher insights of Pope Francis, into his superior...

    Unanswered questions, unresolved contradictions

    The recently terminated thread "Can a woman be?" interested me beyond the limits of its particular subject matter, or the suspected motivation of the poster. Reading through it, I remembered myself as an adolescent boy deeply frustrated with the CCD classes I attended, taught by nuns every...

    Pope Francis calls for ‘paradigm shift’ in theology for world of today

    Link to article in CNA HERE. Link to Pope's (Italian) speech HERE. Translation via Google Translate to English takes two steps because of length, but flows very well. This 'new theology' (my quotes) only continues and repeats his calls begun 10 years ago. I gave him benefit of the doubt -...

    The False and the Authentic

    Are we seeing the counterfeit church arise from within the authentic Catholic Church? Bp. Fulton Sheen foresaw in the End Times: Bp. Athanasius Schneider sees in the Church today, “an eclipse” of the supernatural and an embrace of the natural - a new “center” not defined by the divine...

    Is your parish getting prepared for the Synod?

    I'm very concerned about a possible "atmosphere of silence" or maybe "ignorance" about the danger that I see right at the walls and gates (if any remain!) separating Church from World. My parish, and my diocese, make NO mention of what is to happen next month (the "Synod on Synodality"), nor...

    Wisdom of a Saint of Lebanon on Family

    St. Charbel, a saint of Lebanon having great devotion in that area of the world, has a growing "family" in the West. Here, the assault on the human family is growing with such ferocity and savage intensity that I shudder seeing it. A few of Charbel's words: Much more of his thought, and...

    Jesuit Wisdom from the 1600’s, True for Today

    How do you get lukewarm water? Easy – mix some hot and some cold, roughly in equal amounts. How do you get a lukewarm Catholic? Easy – mix into the baptized human soul, both spiritual heat (supernatural divine truth, love and light) and spiritual cold (natural love of the world, the praise of...

    Dangers of Three Evils in Seeking Charisms - John of the Cross

    This is long for a thread, I know. This is important, however, in rightly understanding that spiritual danger is very near, when seeking charisms. John of the Cross writes of the dangers of three evils that can come upon the soul rejoicing in the supernatural goods of charisms (or charismatic...

    A Successful Bible Study is Finished: Revelation

    Why did God create you?

    I find that so many "doctrinal" differences (Catholic/protestant) have a beginning at a deeper level than usually is ever addressed. Maybe this question can illuminate something essential - a foundational belief upon which the Christian revelation can either stand true, or collapse under the...
