Boomers Flee Traditional Parish and Priests as They Burn Heretical Books by Merton and Nouwen
Edit: James Martin recently posted a tweet to an article by Fishwrap complaining about a traditional priest. The comments on the twitter feed are hilarious! How dare they not celebrate GayChurch!
When ever a traditional minded priest enters a parish my generation (60's and 70's) usually are the ones who shout the loudest. We are the children of the ME and feel good generation. The traditional Mass, practice and Faith is our only hope. Priest must take great care not to just be caught up in smells and bells, but must live 24/7 a traditional priestly life and discipline.
A trad priest must live a traditional priestly life and discipline? but a novus ordo priest gets to have a boyfriend imported from the 3rd world in the rectory at parish expense, guess that's the V2 sacerdotal algebra in the American Catholic church.
This cabal of ultra clericalist Gnostics equipped with flaming hand bags is totally snap frozen in nostalgia. They remind Catholics of what life was like in 1570. They are also a graphic reminder of what happens to people when they let this kind of disordered cult behavior take over their lives.
And thank you, Jake A, for reminding us of what happens to the human mind, otherwise such a beautiful thing, when the insidious machinations of Modernism are allowed to gain a beachhead. On the outside, all is well . . . everything is progress, when the premise that the present is better than the past is never examined. Come to think of it, no Modernist premise is ever examined at all. And then one encounters a comment like this, disconcertingly demonstrating that the abandonment of the rigors of reason devolves into raving intellectual chaos in surprisingly short order. It's the picture of Dorian Gray all over again. Backhandedly but compellingly nonetheless, you too bear witness to the fact that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Acts 19: And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver
Curious arts. By which are here meant books of divination and magic art, to which study the Ephesians were much addicted. The price of the books burnt, amounting to a great sum, even computing the 50,000 denarii, each of them at sevenpence half-penny English money. Wi. — The value of the books here destroyed might have amounted to £1000 sterling. The Christian emperors, Constantine the Great, Valentinian, Theodosius, Marcian, and Justinian, have made laws not less strict for destroying, than those of the Church for proscribing, the use of wicked books, where danger is likely to ensue. The danger of reading them is set forth by Eusebius, l. vii. c. 6; by S. Austin, l. iii. de bap. c. 14; by S. Gregory, l. v. ep. 64. — Such baneful productions should be destroyed; for although they may possibly produce no bad effect during the life of the present possessors, no one can pretend to say into what hands they will afterwards fall, nor what evil they may hereafter occasion.
I learned from reading my KJV Bible that it is written that you are not to call anyone on earth Father and that if there is anyone speaking in tongue there needs to be someone there interpreting what is said.
James Martin: The twit twittered.

ReplyDeleteOnly Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.' Nothing else is. Fides quaerens intellectum' old chap.

Burn books not people
ReplyDeleteMerton was quite possibly a infiltrator. From Worcestor, Mass his own Vocation
Director told him he did not have a Vocation to Religious life or the Priesthood.
Of course, the Modernists in Worcestor Diocese have a good laugh about it. But it
was always rumored he joined to avoid the Draft. Plus, his days at the Trappist
Monastery was ripe with rumors of him going out at night viz a viz the back door.
Merton had all the ear marks of an infiltrator.
