Let’s pretend that the “church” to which they swear allegiance is correct, that the “religion” it advances is correct, and that we are wrong.
Let’s imagine, for a moment, that those “trads” and “conservatives” who want to straddle both sides of the fence are correct, that the “church” to which they swear allegiance is correct, that the “religion” it advances is correct, and that we are wrong.
If they are correct, it means that it is perfectly acceptable that a man who stated in an essay that he believes in universal salvation (a heresy), who writes soft porn books, and who has waged war on Our Lady, is currently the man who heads the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and therefore is, after their “pope”, the man tasked with protecting the doctrinal purity of the Catholic faith. By implication, this means that he has advanced to that position within an institutional culture that condones his garbage. Not only that, but two “popes” have legitimized him as a prelate worthy of the position. Yet according to the latest attacks, we are the “nutjobs”.
I continue.
If our critics are correct, and we are merely crazy “LARPers”, then there is nothing wrong with the Archbishop of Washington, not only presiding over an LGBTQ “Mass”, but also using the occasion to tell the audience that the Church has been wrong about their sin. He is of course not the only one blessing the diabolical LGBTQ ideology. It has become part and parcel of this new church. But to our critics, and keep in mind that they identify as “traditional” Catholics, this is absolutely acceptable in their ‘Catholic’ Church with which we should be in agreement.
On the topic of rainbow sins, according to our critics, when one of their sons or daughters comes to them and informs them that they are “gay” and were “born this way”, they are not allowed to correct them and, even if they tried, would not be able to, because the “church” they claim is the Catholic Church now blesses couples in these relationships. In other words, our critics’ “Catholic Church” blesses a sinful lifestyle that both Scripture and the Church have condemned. But hey, we are the ones who are “outside” the Catholic Church.
According to our critics, during my lunch break I cannot strike up a conversation with my Muslim or Jewish colleague and tell him about Jesus Christ and how He is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, because we already worship the same God and, anyway, my Jewish colleague does not need Christ because his covenant with God is still in place. This despite the fact that, before the birth of this “new Catholicism”, the Church denounced Islam as a heresy and prayed for the conversion of the Jews. Yet our critics think that we are the lunatics who do not follow the Catholic faith.
