The Crisis of the Abuse of Power and Christian Reconciliation

Catholic Herald Interview with John Finnis

Very interesting: ‘I was beyond being damaged’: An interview with philosopher John Finnis https://t.co/n7UuCQdCE9

— Jay W. Richards (@DrJayRichards) October 7, 2020

Catholic Herald

He has recently written “A Radical Critique of Catholic Social Teaching”, a chapter in a new book on CST (published by Cambridge University Press) which aims to undermine the credibility of the whole concept of that teaching. I tell him that it will be explosive, and he laughs: “No, it won’t, because it’s in a book that costs about £150 … it has been largely ignored because of the cost.”

So, for those of us who can’t afford a copy, the gist is that much of what we understand by Catholic Social Teaching is tendentious, and bishops would do better to focus on teaching fundamental Catholic moral principles instead, leaving their application to laypeople who know what they’re talking about. He is especially irritated by bishops’ conferences that issue lengthy guidelines on, for instance, migration or global warming, which are matters of legitimate debate. On climate change, he thinks “the Pope goes beyond his remit – it’s a massively difficult question of fact”.

Most of what the bishops can usefully say on these subjects can, he says, “be put in a few pages”. The expenditure of energy on lengthy policy statements is “worse than a waste of time; it’s a misdirection of energy”. The bishops’ job is in his view to preach the moral norms because “the urgent duty to be informed by and genuinely respectful of these principles [is] scandalously neglected by many Catholics in public life”. He makes clear that negative rules – “thou shalt not kill,” for instance – are categorical, without exceptions, whereas positive ones, such as loving your neighbour as yourself, are far more nuanced.

I think he is correct regarding contemporary use of RCST in episcopal statements or even papal encyclicals.

Universal Teacher

Thomas Mirus observes the proliferation of documents from Rome, addressed not to the Church Universal but to the world.

Latin theologoumena regarding papal primacy in the second millenium has had some version of Latin integralism tied to it. So it's not surprising that the bishop of Rome should not only presume to exercise a spiritual authority over the Church Universal, but the world as well.

Peter Beaulieu on Vatican I

CWR: The 150th anniversary of Vatican I and the Church today by Peter D. Beaulieu
Has any and all harmony between Vatican I and the central thrust of the reconvened Second Vatican Council now been extravagantly jettisoned?

Back in 1870, Vatican I self-immunized against rapidly pandemic ideologies by affirming, clarifying, and circumscribing—neither modernist nor ultramontane—the dogma and reality of “papal infallibility,” as part of the living Tradition dating forward from St. Peter under the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit (Mt 16:17) and Pentecost (Acts 2:1-31).

If what was written by Vatican I wasn't ultramontane (enough), what more would the ultramontanists have wanted? (For the pope to have the right to exercise political authority over the whole world and not just a "spiritual" authority?) What was actually written by Vatican I (and Vatican II) is already too ultramontane for the rest of the Church Universal. I'll have to dig out my copy of The Gift of Infallibility.

How Should One Understand Parables?

As a revelation of a truth about the Mystery? Or should parables be reduced to a supposed "literal" moral or political meaning, which serve as the theological basis of a papal encyclical on "love" (or "charity")? I think the latest encyclical does bring into relief a difference between Latin (or Jesuits) exegesis of parables and the Christological (or properly mystical) exegesis that one finds in the East.

My desire was to establish a monastery in the spirit of Saint Silouan [the Athonite]. But to this day, I hear that my attempt is purely utopian. People tell me: "It is impossible to overcome nationalism in oneself." But then, I think, salvation is impossible. If I am a nationalist and Christian by faith, then I narrow Christ down to this concept - "nationality." You see why it is impossible for me to accept this narrowing down and why it is a great consolation for me that, although we are a small group, we are eleven nationalities! In the prayer of Silouan, who always calls us to pray for all mankind, from beginning to end, there is, of course, no nationalism. All these national divisions were the result of the Fall into sin. Nowhere do we see a Christian preaching of hatred. This means that the Christian faith doesn’t talk about the rejection of other nationalities, but about overcoming this limitation by ascending to the prayer of Gethsemane.

If ethnonationalism meant loving only those of one's ethnos the exclusion of all others then it would be a sin. But that is not how it is used by those who use it in an identitarian context.

Who Has Made Atonement?

I wish all our Jewish sisters and brothers a blessed Day of Atonement #YomKippur. We all pray for God to be gracious unto our world and for all human beings - whatever their beliefs – to forgive and make peace with one another.

Ο οικουμενικός διάλογος, ειδικότερα μεταξύ Ρ/Καθολικής και Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας, αποτελεί ένα δώρο που υπερβαίνει τους ιστορικούς και θεολογικούς ανταγωνισμούς: ένα δώρο επικοινωνίας, ελευθερίας, αγάπης και αλληλεγγύης.

No Reform to Latin Christian Initiation in Sight

Bishop Barron still emphasizing Baptism by water alone as Christian initiation. When will Latins reform their rite of Christian initiation so that all are initiated with Baptism, the Gift of the Holy Spirt, and maybe First Holy Communion as well?

Friends, Baptism is objective: the visible sign of invisible incorporation into the Mystical Body of Jesus. Every baptized person is, objectively speaking, a child of God, divinized, and destined to be a great saint.
