Dickson,

Even if he has personally spoken and acted in a way that contradicts Church teaching, and I think it is fairly conclusive that he has, we cannot make judgments on the disposition of his soul.<br /><br />There is a vast difference between material heresy and formal heresy, the latter requiring a judgment that subordinates have neither the insight nor the authority from God to determine.<br /><br />St. Robert Bellarmine puts it this way:<br /><br />“Just as it is licit to resist the Pontiff who aggresses the body, it is also licit to resist the one who aggresses the soul or who disturbs civil order, or, above all, who attempts to destroy the Church. I say that it is licit to resist him by not doing what he orders and preventing his will from being executed; it is not licit, however, to judge, punish or depose him, since these are acts proper to a superior.” (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, chap. 29, Opera omnia, Paris: Pedone Lauriel, 1871, vol. 1, p. 418.<br /><br />I fear that too many Catholics today have allowed anger to affect their objectivity in the matter of the present crisis. And we know what St. James has to say about anger. He admonishes that "the anger of man worketh not the justice of God". I've tried to impress that truth on sedevacantists over the years, but to no avail.Athanasiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594173461806702932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-90797265110614754052016-08-18T22:31:28.729+01:002016-08-18T22:31:28.729+01:00Thank you, Long-skirts.

A weak link seems to me to describe him best, as it speaks to me of the weakness of his faith and grasp of theology...<br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-57049082159089273092016-08-07T00:24:34.738+01:002016-08-07T00:24:34.738+01:00Dear deacon Augustine,

Gong back to the post on A week of Priesthood and the lady who was adamant that Islam is a religion of peace, I do wish I had asked which other religion is beheading people on beaches and flying planes into buildings, since so many folk are taken in by the MSM depiction of Islam (and the presentation given by Hierarchy) as a religion of peace, and not the description of Islam and given by Muslims themselves.<br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-26332672795136202612016-08-04T21:39:54.999+01:002016-08-04T21:39:54.999+01:00"Know thine enemy" Francis!!

It is the very antithesis of peace. <br /><br />Since its inception in the seventh century it has been used, initially as a backing of a small band of fierce Arab colonists against a Christian world which, and Hippo is the classic example of this , had been allowed to slide into a false concept of passive Catholicism<br /><br />Something similar is happening today.<br /><br />Within some 5 years as this present Islamic assault really gets going, the question of who can and can't receive Holy Communion will fade temporarily into the background while we sort out this coming major confrontation.
