I am not shamed to admit that I am a traditional Catholic…

As a “trad” as many people refer to me as, it is important to remember some key elements. When learning theology you can’t use the clips and phrases found on News media (both secular and Catholic) as your end all be all. I have been keeping up with the most recent synod…to see the current reactions and stretches that have been made have been appalling. Linked on the post I have the direct Vatican source as well as a unbiased (as far as I am able to discern) video going over the most recent dubias. The behavior and reactions of those who seemingly hold the title of Catholic is sickening at their ability to scorn and denounce the Pope over wicked lies and false information.

As Catholics we must submit to and pray for our Holy See!

We are not called to ‘like’ him or think he is the best Pope to ever grace our history, but remember what our Bible says…

Romans 5:8 “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

Matthew 25:40 “The King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me”

But I continue, we are called to love and support each other. Everyone knows the phrase “love the sinner hate the sin” and although I do not believe that the Pope is the sinner in this situation it reminds us that we are all fallen and are trying to live like Saints, so listen to the words of the man trying to guide us and make prudent decisions when listening…

Literature connected to Whitby:

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Marmion by Sir Walter Scott (sort of—he took the abbey's name and its founder's and transferred them to Lindisfarne)

The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Venerable Bede (the Synod of Whitby is the climax of the history's third volume)

Caedmon's Hymn (probably the oldest surviving English poem, composed at Whitby)

Wake up, babe! A new schism just dropped!

[apesoformythoughts]

«To be clear: I am not anti-change. Change can be good. It can be bad. It can be neutral. I am, however, pro-“explain in clear terms what you want to change and why.” When I hear brainless calls for “change”—from politicians, movie stars, theologians, and sportscasters—I always ask: “Can you be specific? And change to what end?”

Alas, specifics and ultimate goals have not been a strong suit of this entire synodal process, unless you think “synodal process” is specific and “synodal process” is the goal. In which case, you can simply mumble: “The synodal process is about change, bringing about more synodal processes.”

And, really, isn’t that the point for so many of the key synodalites? To create a state of flux that calls into question what has been clear and established for millennia, while trying to concretize “processes” that are as ambiguous as they are absolute?

We are told that one goal of synodality is “mission.” But isn’t it more than a bit strange how so many synodalites squirm and scream “prosyltyization!” at almost any attempt to explain, promote, or defend Church teaching? And then have no qualms about enforcing top-to-bottom changes in the name of synodality?»

#OTD in 1642 – A Catholic confederacy (‘the Confederation of Kilkenny’) is instituted to administer Catholic-controlled parts of the country pending a final settlement.

The Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland held a national synod at Kilkenny in Leinster to discuss ways of controlling the Irish Uprising and of achieving national unity against the Protestant invaders. With representatives of the native Irish nobility and the Catholic “Old English” aristocracy in attendance, an alternative government for Ireland was proposed. Asserting their loyalty to King Charles,…

A WARNING AGAINST SYNODALITY, THE SYNODAL PATH & THE SYNODAL CHURCH

[apesoformythoughts]

“Our distresses are notorious, even though we leave them untold, for now their sound has gone out into all the world. The doctrines of the Fathers are despised; apostolic traditions are set at nought; the devices of innovators are in vogue in the Churches; now men are rather contrivers of cunning systems than theologians; the wisdom of this world wins the highest prizes and has rejected the glory of the cross. Shepherds are banished, and in their places are introduced grievous wolves hurrying the flock of Christ. Houses of prayer have none to assemble in them; desert places are full of lamenting crowds. The elders lament when they compare the present with the past. The younger are yet more to be compassionated, for they do not know of what they have been deprived.”

— St. Basil of Caesarea: Letter 90
