Gullible and those like him

+
JMJ

A patient man hath a great and wholesome purgatory, who, receiving injuries, is more concerned at the person's sins than his own wrong; who willingly prays for his adversaries, and from his heart forgives offences; who delays not to ask forgiveness of others; who is easier moved to compassion than to anger; who frequently does violence to himself, and labors to bring the flesh wholly under subjection to the spirit. (Imitation of Christ Book 1, Chapter24)

I received a posting from Gullible today (Gullible November 29, 2019 at 5:43 PM ) and frankly I was frustrated.

I believe that I clearly answered his various objections and yet, like people I know with diagnosed mental illnesses, when confronted with reality, he or she just moves on without acknowledging the fact that they are wrong.

Why is this?

Because they are holding onto a belief to justify their actions.

My takeaway is that Gullible is not looking for the truth.

When able, I am going to invest some time to pull together Gullible's posts and highlight the techniques used to counter reality.

Tonight's attempt was a classic marketing technique called 'FUD'. I have talked about Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt previously and simply put it is a technique that is used when your 'product' isn't as good as the competitions.

So you attack the opponent by casting fear, uncertainty and doubt in the minds of the 'prospective' buyer.

Well I'm not buying it because the arguments aren't worth the electrons and photons that carried them to your computer.

What I will do is post an analysis to attempt to demonstrate the flaw in Gullible's approach and why it is simply making excuses.

    Mental Illness.

    T- I believe that I clearly answered his or her various objections
    T- Is there anything specifically sinful in the legislation? Technically speaking no.

    Technically you did answer but only with a declaration and nothing else provided.

    then disregard my unposted comment and prove Menzingen innocent.

    God Bless

    1. You are right, I have not responded in full, but I will.

      In the meantime, of what are you accusing 'Menzingen' ?

      What is your proof?

    This guy has an interesting article on the Bill 24, I know he is not Catholic so weed through it because you can't find an Albertan who is Catholic to provide a decent perspective.

    1. Hi Gullible,

      I get the feeling that you are lurking in the shadow of other peoples words.

      Don't you have your own thoughts and analysis of the situation? Can you not present your own argument?

      You are the accuser or perhaps the prosecutor, so make your case!

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment.  Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid.  No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein.  Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse?  The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin.  Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service.  It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

Remember this day March 25, 1991 - The Death of Archbishop Lefebvre

+ JMJ This is the day, 25 years ago, that Archbishop Lefebvre passed on to his eternal reward. I know that he has as many (perhaps even more) critics than admirers.  For example I still remember Fr. Paul Nicholson's screed in which he shouted from the top of his webpage: "To die excommunicated - how horrible". I'll leave aside Fr. Nicholson's ignorance on the matter as in the grand scheme of things, his impact on the life of the Mystical Body of Christ, which IS the Roman Catholic Church is no greater than that of Michael Voris etc. Archbishop Lefebvre and the work he founded (ie Fraternal Society of St. Pius X ) have had a significant impact. Let us list of few from greatest to smallest: Consistent and constant Catholic perspective on the crisis of the Church from the halls of the Second Vatican Council to the Synod on the Family (and beyond!) Summorum Pontificum and Universae Ecclesiae : By which the restoration of the sacramental life of the

Can I attend SSPX Mass? Is it sinful to go to SSPX for Mass? Does it fulfill my Sunday obligation?

 + JMJ   As the 'roll out' of Traditiones Custodes continues, I think more Catholics will be asking this question. Here are some answers. P^3 Attached below is the more recent of the two statements, see link for the earlier contradicting one :-) Letter by Msgr. Camille Perl Regarding Society of St. Pius X Masses Una Voce America has received a communication from the Pontifical Ecclesia Dei Commission, concerning an article which appeared in The Remnant newspaper and various websites.
