this guy’s takes are consistently bad

the novus ordo has:

- the Roman canon virtually identical to the canon of the TLM

- Eucharistic prayers III and IV that are very explicit about the sacrificial nature of the Mass with EPII still attesting to it

- offertory prayers that explicitly refer to the Mass as a sacrifice

- prefaces, collects, secrets, and postcommunion prayers that are usually completely incompatible with Protestant doctrines

I’m very critical of what the reformers did, but the way forward has to begin with actually understanding the true intentions behind the reforms instead of relying on tabloid Vatican conspiracy theories about boogeymen prelates at the Consilium

Jesus Christ, the Word Incarnate, is not only the the source of our redemption, but the singular overarching purpose, or omega-point, for which the entire Cosmos was created from all eternity God, by virtue of His infinite, self-communicative Goodness, had always desired for the whole of Creation in its noblest expression to be united in the highest manner to Himself, the highest Good

I genuinely wonder if this kind of thing has more to do with the Curial motivation behind Traditionis Custodes than some kind of abstract liturgical principle Francis wants to have affirmed

Do we really thinks Francis cares about the finer points of liturgical studies vis a vis the Roman rite? The question almost answers itself lol

Thread attempting to reconcile Ed Feser’s and Lofton’s position on whether a Pope can teach heresy at the level of his non-definitive Magisterial teaching capacity It seems that what Lofton wants to safeguard is the integral safety of all magisterial teachings that seems to tie in with the Church’s indefectibility

Not saying Francis has necessarily supported any of the following, but if you’re worried about the future of the Church in general as far as liberalism is concerned, take solace in the fact that the gravest evils of liberalism are already condemned infallibly by Magisterium: So even if the Pope were to call for a different approach to, say, the sin against nature, know it is already solemnly condemned as abominable by the Third and Fourth Lateran Councils (as well as by the unbroken and constant apostolic/patristic tradition)

“let’s lower the bar to exclude the virtues of faith, hope, charity, temperance, prudence, justice, and fortitude and wow look at that we have the same morality”

even if you whittle down the natural law to the reddit maxim of “don’t be an asshole” atheists are probably its most obnoxious and notorious offenders
