The Bull Frogs sitting on the Ox

The Bull Frogs sitting on the Ox
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, June 16, 2011

Ref. http://www.catholicworldreport.com?Controls/PrinterFriendly/ PrinterFriendly.aspx by James Hitchcock. Let’s aim to evangelize via the Magisterium and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Left or right Dissension is infantile, obsolete and destructive. Let’s take a look at the puffing Bull Frogs:

•For decades conservatives have been marginalized in groups like “Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA) … penalized for upholding Church teaching, …

•Liberals have an almost reflexive reaction against hierarchical authority.

•Richard McBrien denounces the revival of Eucharistic adoration as a “step backwards,” and to Rick Marrell, and editor of the National Catholic Reporter, Eucharist and Marian devotions constitute a “betrayer” of Vatican II…

•The Jesuit Thomas Reese feared that converts {Anglicans} will “further discourage reform.”

•Part of the liberal conceit is the claim that Vatican officials are ignorant and do not understand the theologies they judge,..

•Some theologians now claim to be a “second magisterium.”

•Sister Theresa Kane, who publicly insulted John Paul II on his first visit to the U.S., now declares that “the male hierarchy is impotent, incapable of equality, ..

•The inquiry [into the order of nuns] is denounced as a “witch hunt” and an “inquisition” but at the same time nuns boast that they have been fundamentally transformed to the point where some are even militantly pro-abortion.

•As among other things, despite talk of diversity and pluralism, liberals do not regard traditional religious life as authentic… A feminist declares that “women don’t need the Vatican. We don’t need the bishops. That is the real threat…

•Liberal Catholicism is replaying the history of the Reformation of the 16th century, beginning with calls for legitimate reform and ending in innumerable division.

•The National Catholic Register itself now supports formal schism, routinely referring to “women priests”, even though the Church has pronounced such ordination invalid…

•Kane says, “I’m not out of communion. The institution got out of communion with me,”…

The Ox – The Magisterium – Pope Benedict XVI - the Catechism of the Catholic Church

“But when people claim today that the history of the Church’s Magisterium was uniquely the history of a narrow-minded resistance to progress and that the history of genuine enlightenment is to be found only in the history of heresy, then the whole company of the saints – from Paul and John, from Clement of Rome and Ignatius of Antioch, to Maximilian Kolbe and all the Christian martyrs of this century – bears witness to the contrary…

"But power is a means of oppression, and then such a mixture of truth & untruth must be firmly withstood. A principal one is the power to mold public opinion…” [Note women priests-same-sex marriage]. Ratzinger, Co-Workers of the Truth, Meditation - June. 16.
