In the Society of St. Pius X, the Original Text is Clear

A professor of the Technical University in Berlin has broken the monotone choir of the German muzzle media.


(kreuz.net) The Socity of St. Pius X is the past and the future of the Catholic Church.


Norbert Bolz (58) -- left-wing media critic and Comparative Religion Professor at the Technical University of Berlin -- for 'Christ und Welt'.

'Christ und Welt' is a supplement for the anti-Church German weekly 'Zeit'.

The Church has distanced itself from its original text

In "Dogmatism and Traditionalism" the Society is for Bolz, absolutely certain of the "original text of Christendom".

The Church has grown ever further away from this with the centuries.

It is often forgotten that the Dogma is what forms the identity of Catholicism.

Even the Pope wants to recall this and strengthen it.

Christ was not the darling of the media and the masses


'Christ und Welt' asked the professor, why the Pope apparently punishes the all-powerful Old Liberals "by ignoring them" while wooing the Society.

Bolz explained that the Old Liberal side of "Catholicism" isn't controversial, but main stream.

A Hans Kung is the darling of the masses and the media "The [Old] Liberalism doesn't have an image problem".

The problem lies in holding back the "reactionary side in the official world of the Catholic Church".

The Old Liberal ideology is used up

'Christ und Welt' insists that the Pope has frustrated "many people" with his reorientation of the doctrinal teaching.

Bolz countered with a "growing longing of many people for rigor, tradition, liturgy and dogmatic certainty."

The -- apparent -- return of the Pope to Dogma is not for him a way to social aloofness:

"Much more he is possibly giving the Church a new relevance through the power of timelessness."

The dead end of radical accommodation

'Christ und Welt' threatened the media researcher with empty Catholic Churches -- and Bolz made light of it: "The evangelical churches are also empty as well."

In reality they are much more empty than Catholic churches.

Protestantism is for Bolz the evidence, "in which the dead end is the way of radical accommodation with the Zeitgeist."



Old Liberalism must wither

Benedict XVI is for Bolz the first Pope, "who has spoken with courage what everyone already knows: the Church must live with contraction."

In the process of healthy contraction tedium will disappear, thinks Bolz -- that answers for an -- Old Liberal -- organization which trickles Orthodoxy.

Through contraction the doctrine will come into clear. Bolz also understands this as "the original text and the Society".


The Germans project their history on the Church

As expected 'Christ und Welt' entrusted itself, in the sense of the German mania for Nazis and of the left church-hate, to the mantra of a "centuries long tradition of anti-Semitism" in the Church.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Bolz ducks here as expected. In muzzle and Nazi-mad Germany he doesn't have another choice.

In any case he questions, "whether the Catholic Church should generally accommodate itself to media imperatives of the modern."
