SSPX: The Deadly Dangers of Interfaith Dialogue

+
JMJ

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.

Bishop Indunil Janakaratne Kodithuwakku Kankanamalage (left of Pope Francis)
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.

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

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX.  This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu
