This is just too good a diagram to not link.

    You probably did not notice but this diagram in one of its points implies that Bible is not infallible.

      Hi Hans,

      That would be: "Argument From Scripture: An argument that if one part of a source is true, then the entire source must be true. Does not apply exclusively to holy texts or Biblical Scriptures."

      I had noticed it earlier, but didn't reflect on it for too long. Its seems to be a variant of the part to whole fallacy.

      To make the proper distinctions Scripture (The Bible) is Divinely Inspired, but not 'infallible' in the correct use of the term. There is only one infallible interpreter of the Bible: The Church.

      All the same, the atheistic tone is obvious - thanks for pointing it out!!!

      English is not my native language but what I wanted to say is that Bible contains no error.

      There are also some other problematic points in the diagram due to its general animus.

    Hi Hans,

    Thanks! Most psychological articles will be tainted. I linked the "Psy of Conspiracy Theories" because of their insights to conspiracy theory,but there are (alas) issues in some of the articles that are anti-religious.

Church Militant TV and the SSPX - Again

By
+ JMJ The old narrative used to be that the SSPX was 'schismatic' and 'excommunicated'. Now the excommunication has been lifted for a number of years and the only ones who think it still has effect are the 'resistors'. That leaves the other opponents of the SSPX with the label 'schismatic'. Make it clear, the conservative Catholics have issues with the SSPX probably because they violate some of their assumptions about the Faith and this crisis of the Church. Church Militant TV is one of these the exists along the Catholic thought spectrum. They like the Traditional Mass but must ensure that they don't get tarred with the same 'schismatic' brush that the liberals use against the SSPX.  So what do they do, they use the same brush against the SSPX. The funny thing is that even when the Church does speak, they don't want to listen and persist in calling the SSPX 'schismatic'. Here's a transcript of the latest s...

A Different American President's Opinion on Afghanistan

By
 + JMJ I have to admit that President Trump's actions over the past few days have been more than annoying.  Trump as a Soviet Negotiator As I've mentioned, Trump appears to Negotiate like the Russian or Soviets like Herb Cohen described in his book "You can negotiate anything".   All "Soviets" whether for Moscow or from Memphis [Tradicat: ... or New York], use the same six steps in their negotiation dance: Extreme initial positions: They always start with tough demands or ridiculous offers that affect the other side's expectation level. Limited authority. The negotiators themselves have little or no authority to make any concessions. Emotional tactics: They get red faced, raise their voices and act exasperated - horrified that they are being take advantage of. Occasionally they will stalk out of a meeting in a huff. Adversary concessions viewed as weakness. Should you give in and concede them something, they are unlikely to reciprocate. Stingy in their c...

Gullible and the Fr. Sean Kilcawley Article - Update 1

By
+ JMJ Update 1 at bottom of post. I found the following waiting for me when I opened my email on Oct 16th. Gullible has left a new comment on your post " Angelus Press Conference, Fr. Sean Kilcawley and a... ": https://sspx.org/en/lefebvre- church-priesthood-and-indult Archbishop Lefebvre comments on Theology of the Body starting at the paragraph "You may have noticed this in the pope's Wednesday conferences" I have a feeling you won't post it. God Bless Gullible ... well Gullible, I don't know why you felt that I wouldn't post the section of TOB (see whole talk below) ... but for convenience, I have added below the sections on TOB.  Interestingly, TOB is so vague and confusing that it spawned a cottage industry of interpreters and 'consultants'.  Just like the US tax laws. I've even had one Modern Catholic tell me that the Church (Catholic) needed this 'teaching for this age'.  Well, I'm pret...

News Roundup: March 17, 2025

By
 + JMJ  It has been quite the tumultuous month and as you will see below spawned long lists of articles that I spotted on a variety of topics. Things that I can conclude from the ones I've read and the little bit of fact-checking that I've done. Pope Francis may have improved from this particular bout and would not have survived if not for the intense level of prayers and care that he received.  Keep praying, like all of us he will have much to atone for and perhaps the suffering of ... my guess ... continually drowning in mucus will work towards lessening his suffering in the afterlife. The Crisis of the Church  continues down a dark alley, staggering from wall to wall like a drunkard.  Eventually, the Church will reach the end of the alley and emerge back into the light. Whether with this, the next or some future Pontifex is not for us to know.  Ours is to pray and fulfill our duty of state. Like the Church, the World Order is now in crisis as President...
