John Finnis to Pontifical Academy for Life: Church’s Infallible Teaching Against Contraception Is ‘Certainly True’ | National Catholic Register ncregister.com/news/john-finn… @NCRegister @PontAcadLife #HumanaeVitae

Prof. Finnis recalled that the “wrongness of contracepting conjugal intercourse” is a truth that even the progressive German Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner “stated straightforwardly” before the Second Vatican Council.

Finnis said the Church’s doctrine on contraception fulfills the 4 conditions required for a teaching to be infallible even if it’s not been formally defined. But a “new paradigm” of dissent led to a loss of unity in judgment among bishops on the infallible nature of the teaching—

— a fact that he said “is a problem for them and for the sees they govern” but “not for the truth of a teaching” which their predecessors had been united in teaching as infallible.

Former liberation theologian Friar Clodovis Boff, brother of Leonardo Boff, says movement fuelled decline of Catholicism in Brazil @acidigitalgo.shr.lc/45yiL2U

From a Latin American friend/Church expert: “This is very important news. In fact, Clodovis split from Leonardo about 10 years ago, accusing liberation theology (of which he was an exponent) of having displaced Our Lord Jesus Christ from the centre of the Catholic religion” 1/3

“Now he goes even further: he repeats the same assertion but adds that liberation theology is at the root of the decline of the Church in Brazil. Articles have been written in Brazil about this but I didn’t know Clodovis is now saying the same.” 2/3

Pope Francis in new interview calls for “normal seminarians, with their problems, who play soccer, and who don’t go to the neighbourhoods to dogmatise.” He warns against people “trapped in a theology manual, unable to get into trouble and make theology move forward.” 1/5

He says any pastoral approach driven by ideology is “sick from the beginning,” and that “right wing ideologies are perhaps the most dangerous” for the young. “I fear intellectual youth groups, those who summon young people to reflect and then they fill them with weird ideas.” 2/5

He condemns members of restorationist movements as ideologues having “a lot of corruption” and says rigidity is like a shell that “hides a lot of rot.” In many dioceses, Francis adds, traditionalism has acted as a façade for “serious moral problems and vices, double lives.” 3/5

#COVID19 vaccine victims in Italy call for parliamentary investigation newdailycompass.com/en/vaccine-vic… #VaccineDeaths #vaccineinjuries @lanuovaBQ @RicCascioli

The committee — Ascoltami [Listen to Me] — unites 1,800 victims of the anti-Covid vaccine that was supposed to be safe but instead is “disabling thousands of ‘invisible’ victims in Italy who struggle with cardiovascular and neurological problems.”

“Talking about adverse effects from vaccines is no longer taboo, even if the problem, which is enormous, remains underestimated by the State. [The vax] was practically forced by means of blackmail giving rise to the consequent abandonment of patients” who suffered adverse effects

This year’s #Vatican Nativity scene, revealed tonight, comes from a town in the Abruzzi region of Italy famous for its ceramics. Its creators say it’s meant to have a contemporary and unconventional look influenced by ancient Greek, Sumerian and Egyptian art. Photo: @dibanezgut
