I Dream of Eden, Not Utopia

The postconciliar church is not the “one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church” of the Nicene Creed, which is a vessel of the Deposit of Faith. That means the postconciliar church is not Catholic.

It’s something else.

This is not a controversial position because it’s self-evident. A self-evident truth should not have to be defended. But, in this case, it does.

There is a force in the world that seeks to remake truth into its own image. It has been the same since the serpent slithered into the Garden of Eden and hissed its perverse message to Eve: “You will be like God.”

The postconciliar church is not one, because a church that confirms active homosexuals and allows the Traditional Latin Mass where it sees fit is not one church; it is a church of cognitive dissonance.

This is heretical in that it smacks of a brand of Gnosticism designed to dilute the Deposit of Faith until it is no longer recognizable.

The postconciliar church is not holy, because a pope who does not guard the Deposit of Faith—which includes admonishing sinners as spelled out plainly in Holy Scripture—is not a pope.

The postconciliar church is not catholic, because a church that purposely relativizes truth by abandoning the New Testament’s core message of repentance so that—todos, todos, todos—everyone is welcome as they are, regardless of what they are doing and continue to do, is not universal but a malignant form of Protestantism.

The postconciliar church is not apostolic, because it does not protect and hand down the Deposit of Faith that Jesus gave to the Apostles.

Catholicism, at bottom, is not all that complex. It is simple, as God is simple. There is no need for discussion or debate when it comes to the Deposit of Faith. It is what it is. No more, no less.
