SSPX: The Deadly Dangers of Interfaith Dialogue

There are lots of dangers in ecumenism and its offspring "interfaith dialogue". The obvious one was the Assisi meetings ... but there is a long and inglorious list of cringe worthy events.

Pray for the conversion of sinners.

Pope Francis has appointed Fr. Indunil Janakaratne Kodithuwakku Kankanamalage as Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. He is a priest of the diocese of Badulla, Sri Lanka, who until now has been the assistany-secretary of this department.
In an interview with Rome Reports, the prelate said that there are “clear signs that not everyone in the Muslim world is accepting jihadism.” He is basing this statement on the document “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” that was signed by both Pope Francis and the [Sunni] Imam of Al-Azhar in Abu Dhabi. And he continues, “This is a clear example.”

This example could not be more unfortunate. As we have shown in several articles (links below), the cited document is erroneous on the Catholic side, and sins by omission on the Muslim side. To want to find there a “clear sign” is to participate willingly in a serious illusion, which is unfortunately paid for in victims. Has Fr. Kankanamalage forgotten the Islamist attacks last Easter, which cost the lives of 300 people in his own country?

Nevertheless, the prelate insists that by encouraging interreligious dialogue, this text gives “a way out of tribalism,” which he sees as the principle problem. This is a desire to reduce the Islamist phenomenon and not grasp the very reality of Islam.

Jihad, completely missing from the document, is an essential element of Islam for Muslims,  prescribed by the Qur'an and Islamic tradition (hadith). Of course, every Muslim is not a terrorist, but this fight, this armed struggle for the cause of Allah is genetically part of Islam. To make it disappear can only be accomplished by removing many passages from the Qur'an and annulling part of Muslim tradition.

A peace partially founded on natural elements can exist, which is certainly a good thing, but it will always be fragile. For peace is the work of justice, and only Jesus Christ gives God the worship that He justly deserves. Through His commandments and His law of love contained in the Gospel, He is the peaceful King who must reign over individuals as well as societies.

Unfortunately, since Vatican II, the neglect of this eminently religious truth has led the present hierarchy to be unfaithful to its duty. This forgetfulness leads to blindness that worsens in the measure that it develops its interreligious policy.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

By
+ 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

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

By
 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

By
+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church.  The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.
