I have been getting a free
pass from Massimo Faggioli.He has no objections.There is no criticism.He cannot
point out any theological fault.Understandable. My area of work is philosophy and it is here where he takes
a beating. There is no way out. Liberalism based upon irrational philosophy has
been exposed. It is only time before his idol crumbles.
Theology has its base in philosophy. Here is where he finds the damage done the most to his formation and present writings. He knows it is all
finished for liberal theology. Since with integrity, he cannot really
continue to interpret the baptism of desire etc, as being physically visible.Then he cannot use this decepton to create a New Theology in which he projects visible cases of the baptism of desire, as a practical exception for Feeneyite EENS.
This was the mistake of his teacher Alberto Melloni of the Bologna School which still sells the leftist deception. I am not obligated to use the False Premise which he has to choose to create a break with 16th century extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Only in this way he has a New Theology, which was nurtured by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. It says outside the Church there is known salvation.Since there was known salvation; visible cases of non Catholics saved outside the Church, the liberals could create the New Ecumenism etc.
But for me there is no known salvation outside
the Church. This is common sense. So there can only remain an ecumenism of
return.
What I write here is seen
as a disaster for the liberals. Michael Sean Winters and Massimo Faggioli
called an emergency meeting at Chicago which was attended by prominent leftist
cardinals.O’Malley, and Cupich were there to discuss the end of Vatican Council II
as we knew it for over half a century. There was a new version on the horizon and
it was fatally traditionalist for them.
But Faggioli did not have
the answers they wanted at the meeting. His keynote address was old stuff. There was no approach to counter what I write here and
over the last nine months or so on Twitter.He was of no practical help for them.
Faggioli, knows that I am
going back to the old theology by using the old rational philosophy. My strength
is in traditional philosophy. I completed the two years philosophy studies at
the University Pontifical Regina Apastolorum (UPRA) Rome but they would not let
me sit for the final matriculation examination. Even today I am not allowed to
complete the final semester or speak to students there. Since with the rational
philosophy they too would have to come back to Tradition. There is no other
choice.This is not a personal opinion of mine.
The professors at the Legion of Christ's UPRA know this. It is the same at the other pontifical universities. What they are teaching
is political and not Catholic.Faggioli knows this too. So he does not respond to
my emails or posts on Twitter.
I am not presenting a new theology. Instead I am pulling down their New Theology, with rational philosophy.So I am out of his firing range.Faggioli, like Pope Benedict, gets his New Theology only by choosing to interpret the baptism of desire, baptism of blood and being saved in invincible ignorance as being physically visible cases in the present times.He makes a philosophical mistake.
This is their weak pooint and we have found it.
Visible cases of the baptism of desire become alleged objective exceptions for the dogma extra
ecclesiam nulla sales. The liberals will say," Look Vatican Council II says outside the Chruch there is ( known) salvation". In this way there is a New Theology created which says outside
the Catholic Church there is known salvation.
Faggioli continues to teach students about Vatican Council II and does not tell them that he is dishonestly interpreting the Council irrationally to produce an artificial break with Tradition.Villanova University now has a reputation of being acadamically unethical and there is no colleague of Faggioli, who can defend this university of the Augustinian Recollect community.It is forced to choose an irrational premise, inference and conclusion to interpret Vatican Council II. With the rational premise there is always a hermeneutic of continuity with the Athanasius Creed, the Syllabus of Errors etc.This is an upset for them.
The old Vatican Council II is fading out..-Lionel
