Vatican II said this in it's Constitution Dei Verbum:<br />"Consequently<br /> it is not from Sacred Scripture alone that the Church draws her <br />certainty about everything which has been revealed. Therefore both <br />sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated <br />with the same sense of loyalty and reverence."<br /><br />Vatican II showed that traditions should be kept with loyalty.Hart nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-79163592269914037132008-06-30T12:09:00.000-06:002008-06-30T12:09:00.000-06:00Bill, the clip reminded me of the scene in War and...Bill, the clip reminded me of the scene in War and Remembrance when the inmates at Thierenthienstedt did the puppet show about Hitler. Of course, that got them a one way ticket to Aushwitz.

Whispers in the Loggia has a report on Friday about a recent defense of BXVI in Osservatore Romano.<BR/><BR/>The author of the article in OR is Spanish novelist Juan Manuel de Prada, who says that the pope keeps changing clothes to dress himself anew in Christ. He concludes, "The pope, in short, does not wear Prada, but Christ." <BR/><BR/>I kid you not.<BR/><BR/>I also ran across the cute little clip on YouTube this weekend. I wish my German were good enough to do a literal translation. Much of what's being said can be guessed from context. The interviewer (who is Bavarian, from his dialect) asks the little character Katholi how he can be sure of the right way in this world of so many complex choices. <BR/><BR/>Katholi answers, "The Pope!" Then when the interviewer asks why the pope is against evolution, Katholi reponds that the interviewer wouldn't want to be descended from a monkey, would he? <BR/><BR/>The part about the church's opposition to condoms is hard for me to hear. I think Katholi is explaining that by saying that all those babies who would have died of AIDS now get to go to heaven.<BR/><BR/>When the interviewere asks him if women and gays who question church teaching really go to hell in the next life, he changes the subject and says, "Look what I can do!" the he juggles. <BR/><BR/>The clip is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7hTPchENskWilliam D.

I suppose that's why Bill's photo shows up as well.<BR/><BR/>The Vatican may very well be playing the world domination game by being one of the puppet masters. The use of the gay marriage issue in Europe to try and influence elections is pretty blatant. Viva La Spain and there's no question their nameless, faceless beauracracy is loaded with intelligence operatives.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-3605079449351840262008-06-27T21:29:00.000-06:002008-06-27T21:29:00.000-06:00btw, how does one get the cool pictures next to th...btw, how does one get the cool pictures next to the name?COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-73069803847115311992008-06-27T21:26:00.000-06:002008-06-27T21:26:00.000-06:00Colleen: The church has been fascist since the 20'...Colleen: <BR/>The church has been fascist since the 20's when it recovered from bankruptcy. "The Vatican Exposed" by Paul Williams is a fascinating (and disturbing) look at what the Vatican really is like. The shoes palliums, latin, and other things are nothing more than distractions to keep our attention focused on something else so that we dont see what is really going on, an attempt at world domination. <BR/><BR/>Re: St Stanislaus<BR/>It is a catholic parish in St Louis that is serving the needs of disillusioned, excommunicated and otherwise disaffected catholics - Burke, Naumann and Finn did a lot of damage there before they were transferred. Of course it is growing and thriving.<BR/><BR/>re: What to think about B16? <BR/>He is attempting world domination, like so many of his predecessors have tried. 100 years ago that might have been possible. I dont see it happening today. <BR/><BR/>re: Burke's promotion<BR/>Bless him, good riddance, and how soon will be leaving? I think what we will see is that he is fleeing the country to avoid prosecution for his role in the pedophile scandal.COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-66053016418839284662008-06-27T21:20:00.000-06:002008-06-27T21:20:00.000-06:00Have you read anything about his being replaced as...Have you read anything about his being replaced as AB of St. Louis?

The really optimistic part of me thinks this appointment has to do with the fact the Vatican is only recognizing the man has no concept of anything pastoral and the safest thing to is to put him where he's at least competent at what he does. Making him the prefect of the Signatura pretty much precludes him from having to act as a pastor.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-45269915443006182842008-06-27T20:51:00.000-06:002008-06-27T20:51:00.000-06:00Bill, I don't really know what to think about Bene...Bill, I don't really know what to think about Benedict anymore. When L'OR has to defend the rumors about his choice in shoes I kind of go flat. Palliums, You know I kind of think this would never have been a topic of discussion under John XXIII. Seems he had other things on his mind. Do you really think this is what we deserve, or do you think all of this is just to keep us focused on anything but those things of substance? You know, so we ignore the fact we're returning to fascism.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-73096376292416112952008-06-27T19:31:00.000-06:002008-06-27T19:31:00.000-06:00I saw on Clerical Whispers that our favorite Roman...I saw on Clerical Whispers that our favorite Roman cleric, Archbishop Raymond Burke, has been named the head of the Vatican's highest court, the Court of the Apostolic Signature.<BR/><BR/>So now Mr. Excommunication himself is the chief justice of the Roman church .... rather like naming Milosevic to head the Court on Human Rights!<BR/><BR/>BTW, I still pray for Fr. Merek and the parishioners at St. Stanislaus Kostka in St.Louis, MO. Their parish is thriving and has more than doubled in size since Burke "excommunicated" them ... it's that darned Holy Spirit again! <BR/><BR/>Here's their website:<BR/><BR/>http://www.StanislausKostka.com/index.htmljmKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552857462873824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-82320340648053373322008-06-27T12:21:00.000-06:002008-06-27T12:21:00.000-06:00I've found your new blog, Colleen!

After I did so, I thought to myself, "Good grief. At this perilous passage in Catholic history, we have a pope whose focus seems to be on trying out different styles of palliums?"<BR/><BR/>But then I thought, "Well, in a way, we get what we deserve, when we allow this kind of nonsense to have any power over us." <BR/><BR/>This is, to me, the ultimate sign of the reclericalization of the Catholic church--and of how misplaced that emphasis has been: a fascination with what kind of clothes priests wear on different liturgical occasions.<BR/><BR/>In such a culture, you're absolutely right to note that we're straining out the gnat to let the camel pass through--the camel being antisemitism and other nasty ideologies, which remain nasty, no matter how we dress them up.William D.
