Is the Interpretation of Amoris Laetitia Set in Stone?

Is the Interpretation of Amoris Laetitia Set in Stone? - FSSPX.News

JMJ

At this point the crisis of the Church has entered a new phase. The Pope is trying legitimatize heterodox opinions.

There is a lot of speculation as to the next heterodox opinion that he will attempt to pass off as 'authentic magisterium'.

The Holy Father has described his epistolary exchange with the Argentine bishops in September of 2016 as “authentic magisterium”.

This concerns the interpretation of the very controversial Chapter VIII of the Apostolic Exhortation on the family.

The news was made public on September 4, 2017: Cardinal Pietro Parolin, in his capacity as Secretary of State for the Holy See, signed the official rescript of the papal audience dated July 5, 2017, confirming that the letter from the bishops of Argentina to the pope – and the papal response – concerning the possibility of granting divorced and civilly “remarried” Catholics access to Communion is part of the authentic magisterium of the Church.

While it does not claim to be “infallible”, which would require“the obedience of faith”,this note, which is both technical and recent, theoretically obliges all to “religious reverence of the intelligence and of the will” to the doctrine taught.

This rescript does not fail to raise many questions: if the letter from the Argentine bishops, as Edward Peters, counselor to the Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura declares, upholds “pervasive ambiguities which could open the way for others to impugn Church teachings”, how is it to be reconciled with the notion of authentic magisterium?

Theologians have a lot of work to do.

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

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making. It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX. The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience. The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members. It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

+ JMJ I started a timeline a while back but never finished it. Fortunately, here's one that brings us up to 1994!!! P^3 http://archives.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/a_short_history_of_the_sspx-part-1.htm A short history of the SSPX A presentation given by Fr. Ramon Angles in Kansas City, MO, on the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the SSPX and reprinted from the January 1996 issue of The Angelus . Part 1 The history of the Society of St. Pius X begins, of course, in the mind of God. But do not believe that its temporal origin is to be found solely at the time of the post-conciliar crisis. The Society of St. Pius X was made possible ...

Regarding Post: Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer no longer ... now Bishop Joseph Pfeiffer (Can't see this being a problem...)

+ JMJ I've been watching the popularity of the post about Fr. Pfeiffer's attempted episcopal consecration and its continued top listing on the 'popular posts' list at the bottom of posts. After some thought, I decided that I don't want to be responsible for anyone joining Fr. Pfeiffer's 'group', however unlikely that would be at this time. So I have reverted the article to the draft state. If anyone wants it reinstated, I would ask that they comment on this post with a rationale for reinstatement. P^3

Opportunities Hide Inside Crises

+ JMJ A crisis (from the Greek κρίσις - krisis; [1] plural: "crises"; adjectival form : " critical ") is any event that is going (or is expected) to lead to an unstable and dangerous situation affecting an individual , group , community , or whole society . Crises are deemed to be negative changes in the security , economic , political , societal , or environmental affairs , especially when they occur abruptly, with little or no warning . More loosely, it is a term meaning "a testing time" or an " emergency event". ( Wikipedia ) While thousands will be sick and die, in the face of eternity we need to be more concerned about the crisis that darkens souls with sin. In other words, we need to fear more the one who can 'kill' the soul, than the body. We each have an obligation to work for the salvation of souls based on their relationship with us. The closer the relationship the stronger the obligation. Obviously, it starts with ou...
