Gerondism
“And there really is only one way to become Orthodox, one way to become a Christian, and that is to become disciples of the contemporary Elders, Saints, and spiritual fathers. To be grafted into their experience, to become one with that.” -@frpeterheers pic.twitter.com/ilJ3svUZRG

What Christian Shouldn't Give Himself "Totally" to God?
'I gave myself to God. Totally. And utterly.'
— Fr Gary Dench (@garydench) March 28, 2021
The monastery also produces beer and honey. I've tried the honey and it is delicious! Well worth supporting them in their life and work. https://t.co/udq2a229eG
Love of God is first for all Christians -- love of others is subordinate to, and motivated by, this love of God. Can the monk says that he loves God alone? No -- even the monk must love the rest of the Church and mankind, even if he lives apart from them. And unless he is a hermit, he doesn't live apart from others, though the amount of time he spends with others is limited. So "totally" is the wrong way to describe this sort of calling. It would be more accurate to say that the monk lives alone for God. ("Living only for God" would be inaccurate, too.) Even religious must be careful of pride and any sense of Christian elitism.
What Notion of Sacrifice?
“Christ is at once priest and sacrifice, God and temple. He is the priest through whom we have been reconciled, the sacrifice by which we have been reconciled, the temple in which we have been reconciled, the God with whom we have been reconciled.” -St. Fulgentius of Ruspe

A Latin View on Concelebration
Pope Innocent III on Concelebration
Vandalism in S Peter's, and S Thomas on Concelebration
S Thomas Aquinas, as his custom was, covers pretty well most of the problems of late C20 Christianity, and does so in a neat formulaic way. First, he crisply formulates an erroneous opinion; then disposes of it with Respondeo.
So first he states a propositio sometimes advanced in neo-traditionalist circles: That many priests cannot consecrate one and the same Host. He disposes of this - he was a good Catholic - by pointing to what the Church does. "According to the custom of a number of Churches the newly ordained concelebrate". The problem of rogue concelebrants Jumping The Gun he disposes of in exactly the same way as Pope Innocent III (see previous post) had done: "And it is not true that by this the consecration over the same Host is doubled; since, as Innocent III says, the intention of all must be referred (ferri) to the same instant of Consecration".
Having disposed of that little technical difficulty, he justifies the practice in itself: "Since a priest does not consecrate except in the persona of Christ, and the many are one in Christ, therefore it does not matter whether this Sacrament is consecrated through one or through many".
There is no doubt that the practice of Concelebration has become unseemly since the Council. Those of us who are hermeneutic-of-continuity traditionalists will do well to rethink the way we use Concelebration. But the fashion in some circles of ridiculing all use of Concelebration, and of even denying that what the newly ordained do with their Bishop really is true Concelebration, is ill-informed and gives 'traditionalism' a bad name. We must avoid the temptation (as we defend our Holy Faith against the latest aggressions of Bergoglianism) to propose our own narrow circumscriptions of 'Tradition'.
Understood in terms of Latin scholastic sacramental theology regarding the presbyterate and the Eucharist: in persona Christi, etc.
Update: One more...

Rome's Troubles with Synodality
Rome should intervene in the German Synodal Way before it’s too late. It’s right to work through hot-button issues but at the same time Rome should reassert the doctrinal parameters, insisting that German Catholics look outwards to service and mission. pic.twitter.com/s22wqgTpkO

St. Maximos on the Reception of Divine Wisdom
A Christian receives divine wisdom in three ways: by the commandments, teachings, and faith. The commandments free the mind from passions. Teachings lead it to true knowledge of nature. Faith leads to the contemplation of the Holy Trinity.

Peter Hitchens on the Anglican Ordinariates
@fathereddy I welcome the Ordinariate (especially its use of much of Cranmer's book) as a reconciliation of people who should never have been apart, and have written at length about this in 'The Lamp'. Not much that is worth having will survive the next 100 years, anywhere. https://t.co/HulVUFWNec

Tertullian: The Source of a Grand Mistake?

What Sort of Interfaith Dialogue?
Meanwhile, from Jerusalem, Israeli rabbi David Rosen, a leading figure in the dialogue with the Catholic Church, told “Asia News”:
“The visit by Pope Francis is linked to the Declaration on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi two years ago. I am happy about this gesture and I hope it will bear fruit. From my perspective, however, I also hope that this path will further expand, because at present, it is still an initiative only between Christians and Muslims. I am happy that it now involves the whole Islamic world. Still, it would also be important for the recognition of fraternity include an official Jewish representative. This is not only because of the deep bond that exists with Christianity, but also because of what it would mean for Islam. Until we don’t get one, a declaration on fraternity will lay open to the risk of being misinterpreted.”
How acceptable is this opinion?

Another Bergoglio Presser
As he formulates it, it is full of errors and exaggerations:
FRATERNITY IS NOT A HERESY
The Abu Dhabi document of February 4 [2019] was prepared with the Grand Imam [of Al-Azhar] in secret, for six months, by praying, reflecting, correcting the text. It was - it’s a bit presumptuous, take it as a presumption - a first step, […] this [with Al-Sistani] would be the second and there will be others. It is important, the path of fraternity. […] Ayatollah Al-Sistani has a phrase that I try to remember well: men are either brothers by religion or equal by creation. Fraternity is equality, but we cannot go below equality. I believe it is also a cultural path. Let’s think of us Christians, of the Thirty Years War, of St. Bartholomew's night, to give an example. Let's think about this. How the mentality changes among us. Because our faith lets us discover that it is this, the revelation of Jesus is love, and charity leads us to this. But how many centuries to realize it! […] This is an important thing, human fraternity, that as men we are all brothers, and we must move forward with the other religions. […] You are human, you are a child of God, you are my brother, period. This would be the greatest guideline, and many times one has to take risks to take this step. There are some criticisms: that the pope is not courageous, he is reckless, that he is taking steps against Catholic doctrine, that he is one step away from heresy... There are risks. But these decisions are always made in prayer, in dialogue, asking for advice, in reflection. They are not a whim, and they are also the approach that the Council taught.
