I am in complete agreement Archbishop, we must bridge these fractures in Christ’s Church and be united in Him. The Eucharistic altar must once again be a sign of unity.

[Bishop Joseph Strickland @ Pillars of Faith @BishStrick]

I urge everyone to read this important teaching, critical for our time…

From the first instruction by Saint Vincent of Lerins, priest
(Cap 23: PL 50, 667-668)

The development of doctrine

Is there to be no development of religion in the Church of Christ? Certainly, there is to be development and on the largest scale.

Who can be so grudging to men, so full of hate for God, as to try to prevent it? But it must truly be development of the faith, not alteration of the faith. Development means that each thing expands to be itself, while alteration means that a thing is changed from one thing into another.

The understanding, knowledge and wisdom of one and all, of individuals as well as of the whole Church, ought then to make great and vigorous progress with the passing of the ages and the centuries, but only along its own line of development, that is, with the same doctrine, the same meaning and the same import.

The religion of souls should follow the law of development of bodies. Though bodies develop and unfold their component parts with the passing of the years, they always remain what they were. There is a great difference between the flower of childhood and the maturity of age, but those who become old are the very same people who were once young. Though the condition and appearance of one and the same individual may change, it is one and the same nature, one and the same person.

The tiny members of unweaned children and the grown members of young men are still the same members. Men have the same number of limbs as children. Whatever develops at a later age was already present in seminal form; there is nothing new in old age that was not already latent in childhood.

There is no doubt, then, that the legitimate and correct rule of development, the established and wonderful order of growth, is this: in older people the fullness of years always brings to completion those members and forms that the wisdom of the Creator fashioned beforehand in their earlier years.

If, however, the human form were to turn into some shape that did not belong to its own nature, or even if something were added to the sum of its members or subtracted from it, the whole body would necessarily perish or become grotesque or at least be enfeebled. In the same way, the doctrine of the Christian religion should properly follow these laws of development, that is, by becoming firmer over the years, more ample in the course of time, more exalted as it advances in age.

In ancient times our ancestors sowed the good seed in the harvest field of the Church. It would be very wrong and unfitting if we, their descendants, were to reap, not the genuine wheat of truth but the intrusive growth of error.

On the contrary, what is right and fitting is this: there should be no inconsistency between first and last, but we should reap true doctrine from the growth of true teaching, so that when, in the course of time, those first sowings yield an increase it may flourish and be tended in our day also.

Bishop Schneider’s Voice Resounds Ahead of the Amoris Laetitia Meeting

Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s statement is extraordinarily important because a Catholic bishop has now publicly described the present crisis not simply as doctrinal confusion, pastoral failure, or isolated episcopal misconduct, but as an “unprecedented crisis” involving a “hostile takeover” within the Church’s “strategic administrative structure.”

He further stated that this takeover is marked not only by doctrinal ambiguities but by “brazen heresies” among “the high clergy,” with some cases coming close to apostasy.

This is an unusually direct episcopal acknowledgment that the crisis has reached the very structures of ecclesiastical government. Bishop Schneider is not merely saying that some Catholics have become confused, nor that certain theological opinions are unfortunate. He is saying that elements within the Church’s own hierarchy and administrative structure are promoting doctrines that can be characterized as heretical and, in some instances, as approaching apostasy.

And what Schneider did not say is as important as what he did say.

He did not identify the bishops or officials responsible. He did not issue a canonical declaration that any particular prelate is a formal heretic. He did not declare that a particular officeholder has lost ecclesiastical authority. Nor did he pronounce a canonical judgment concerning the status of the present pontificate.

But precisely here lies the importance of his statement.

Schneider has gone considerably further than the usual language of “confusion,” “ambiguity,” or “pastoral excess.” He has acknowledged that the problem is located within the hierarchy itself, that high-ranking clergy are involved, that some of their teachings approach apostasy, and that the Church’s administrative structure has been subjected to what he calls a “hostile takeover.”

His caution is understandable.

A bishop publicly accusing identifiable superiors of formal heresy, apostasy, or loss of office would be making canonical claims of an entirely different order and could expose him to serious disciplinary consequences. Bishop Schneider therefore carefully described the phenomenon without converting his diagnosis into a canonical sentence against particular persons. That distinction allows him to state the gravity of the situation while avoiding conclusions that would place his own episcopal position in direct canonical confrontation with the present authorities.

But the implications are nevertheless enormous.

If a Catholic bishop says that the Church’s own administrative structure has undergone a “hostile takeover,” that high clergy are promoting “brazen heresies,” and that some cases approach apostasy, then the obvious question can no longer be avoided: What is the precise relationship between these persons, their offices, their teachings, and the authority they exercise?

Schneider has brought that question much closer to the surface without explicitly answering it.

The significance lies not only in what Bishop Schneider has affirmed, but in the theological question his affirmation inevitably raises: if the Church is indefectible, and if those occupying positions of ecclesiastical authority publicly promote doctrines approaching apostasy, where are the limits of obedience, what is the nature of their authority, and how must a Catholic distinguish legitimate ecclesiastical authority from resistance to Divine Revelation?

Schneider has not answered all of those questions. But by speaking as he has, he has made it substantially more difficult to pretend that they do not exist.

[Edward Pentin @EdwardPentin]

"Our mother, the Church, is going through an unprecedented time of trials. There is a hostility going up to the high ranks of the administrative power of the Church.

And yet, in view of this situation, as true Catholics, we should not fall into an attitude of anger, bitterness and despondency. Through the current interior trials, the Church is being purified. Christ will overcome his enemies who managed to occupy influential positions within the Church.

The faithful and the little ones in the Church pray day and night with the voice of the psalmist: 'Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep' — Psalm 121."

This spine tingling moment just happened at the Sen. Johnson Hospital Protocols Hearing.

I can understand exactly why the room erupted.

Here’s an attorney with 50 years experience.

At the start of covid, he gets flooded with requests to make Hospitals give early treatment protocols.

But the result of his work is the part really blew my mind.

95.8% of the cases he won ,to force the Hospital to administer Ivermectin. Survived.

But then I heard the contrast of what happened when he lost his cases... the patients who had to go with standard of care hospital protocols which included Remdesivir.

This video shows why President Trump banned corrupt news outlets from the White House.

The mainstream media is the enemy of the people!

I hope POTUS airs this on Trump TV because the world deserves to see how dishonest our media is towards him!

During Mass at St. Gabriel the Archangel Church in Hopkins, Minnesota, a Catholic priest wept while consecrating the chalice. Later, he said he experienced Jesus shedding His blood and, at one point, could not lift the chalice because it felt so heavy.

We need pastors to start preaching against premarital sex.

[Bishop Joseph Strickland @ Pillars of Faith @BishStrick]

This statement from the Vatican must be rejected and repudiated by all who hold Jesus Christ and His Church as the only way to the Father.

“The defensive entrenchment in one’s own position and the view that proselytism is the only way to engage with the other no longer make sense in a world that increasingly resembles an interconnected and constantly evolving global village,”

Truth is not constantly evolving, Truth is Jesus Christ present with us in the world and His Church is the vehicle for our salvation.
