A New Syllabus for the 21st Century? [Condemning mistaken interpretations of Vat II]

[Tigg]

THE CHALLENGE OF OPPOSING INTERPRETATIONS
(by Bishop Athanasius Schneider)

For a correct interpretation of Vatican Council II, it is necessary to keep in mind the intention manifested in the conciliar documents themselves and in the specific words of the popes who convened and presided over it, John XXIII and Paul VI.

Bsp Schneider calls on pope for document condemning certain mistaken interpretations of Vatican II (often under the guise of the “Spirit of Vatican II”).

There is the need for a new Syllabus, this time directed not so much against the errors coming from outside of the Church, but against the errors circulated within the Church by supporters of the thesis of discontinuity and rupture, with its doctrinal, liturgical, and pastoral application.

Would like clarification and discussion on the meaning of this and the possibility of it actually happening.

Two groupings stand out for their support of the theory of rupture. One of these groupings tries to “Protestantize” the life of the Church doctrinally, liturgically, and pastorally. On the opposite side are those traditional groups which, in the name of tradition, reject the Council and exempt themselves from submission to the supreme living magisterium of the Church, from the visible head of the Church, the vicar of Christ on earth, submitting meanwhile only to the invisible head of the Church, waiting for better times. . . .]

Your analysis is correct, and that has always been condemned by Tradition ; i.e., to protest the Truth of the Faith on one hand or, on the other, to deny the Catholic Church.

We who believe in Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture are so instructed by the Church to believe in these things. What we rightly protest is the suppression of this Truth for the sake of humanly determined priorities that dangerously skirt with a denial of the very Truth Christ died to give us. This world desperately needs God. It does not need Him as they need a television or a daily coffee : it needs the Father to infuse again authentic Love (Chairty), to restore the peace and Empire of Christ, the only Empire that, being founded upon unadultered and uncompromised Truth, sets us free. All other empires, being in opposition to Christ, impose a false and lying peace upon mankind that degrades and enslaves him.

Pax,
Tim
