Filial Correction - Response Please!

JMJ

Updated: I just noticed a Tweet from Dr. Shaw. The Vatican has blocked access to correctio filias website. I guess the Pope is aware of it and isn't very pleased.

I suspect that the Pope won't respond to the filial correction. However, his supporters will.

I just noticed the first 'response' from the National unCatholic Reporter.

While I leave you to read it for yourself I found the following interesting:

The labels of Schismatics, extremists, liars, hypocrites etc are trotted out for all to see. Not totally surprising given that I suspect (along with others) that they will be unable to respond intellectually to the correction. As such they will have recourse to a Liberals favorite tool: venomous words.
Nothing on the substance of the correction. I think that no response indicates the inability to respond.

Here's some tidbits:

Stephen Walford, a British Catholic author who has written several books on the papacy and the theology of the church, said the accusation of heresy "is based around claims the Holy Father has never made -- lies essentially -- and a massive dose of hypocrisy."

I guess he didn't read the correction ... oh well.

And then we have this bit:

"The signatories also attack Pope Francis for his attitude to Martin Luther, and yet, their own judging of what is acceptable for a pope to teach is nothing short of Protestantism; it’s a DIY (do-it-yourself) Catholicism," said Walford, who is currently at work on a book about Amoris Laetitia and recently met with Francis at the Vatican.

So the Theologians cite the magisterium clearly indicating the truth. I guess they are the kings of 'making stuff up'. Well, that is what modernism amount to anyway.

Finally, we have this bit:

"Anyone who spends just a short time on social media will be aware of the vitriol and judgmentalism aimed at those who are loyal to Pope Francis: Anger, arrogance, pride, ridicule and unkindness," Walford continued. "These are the fruits of the evil one, and they will never bring forth a restoration of a golden age that never existed."

This is a deflection from the point. This is not some social media campaign aimed at a Liberal Pope. This is Catholic Theologians doing their duty.

It is about time.

Perhaps it would be useful if we sent a copy to our bishops and asked them to make a decision on the Faith. After all, using the Jesuit analogy, there are only two standards.

We could also post a list of those who refused to sign, this way we'll make certain we know who's on what side.

What side are you on?

Can the SSPX be right about the Novus Ordo? Revision: Feb 11, 2013 On another web forum, I was engaged in a rather heated discussion about the documents of Vatican II.

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

Catholic Culture - The Edgar Schein Model Analysis of the Pre and Post Conciliar Culture

+ JMJ So ... I was thinking ... I've used Edgar Schein's (RIP) organizational cultural model (link ) in my research ... why not apply it in a comparison between the Catholic Organizational Culture - PRE and POST Second Vatican Culture? Of course, this will be from my own perspective, I'm certain that others will think differently. 😁 Also, apologies for a rather long article. Graphic: https://mutomorro.com/edgar-scheins-culture-model/ Below is a quick mapping of the cultural factors that I could think of. Since the Church is vast and composed of millions of Souls, it is necessarily a limited cultural map. Yet, I think it will still be useful to assess what has changed since the Second Vatican Council.

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

Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit

+ JMJ Something that always and I do mean always causes me to cringe interiourly is when non-Trad Catholics use the words "Holy Spirit" instead of "Holy Ghost". First, this is a natural response because of long usage of "Holy Ghost" as soon as I hear the word "Holy" in a prayer, my brain automatically is prepped to hear "Ghost" afterwards. This creates a short period of interiour dissonance (discomfort). Now the question I would like to ponder today is whether or not there is a difference and whether or not there is a right way vs wrong way.
