Him and others. I just got a copy of a cute little TAN booklet called Liberalism is a Sin. It is good reading so far although I ws very surprised by the age of it. I think Belloc was warning folks too. We were warned by many in the Church and in Academia and elsewhere these times we are living in would happen. I personally think Liberalism is one of the main taproots of the rotten tree bearing rotten fruit that we are all being force fed from.
It is indeed possible that I am wrong here. I hate it when I assume, especially when I err in my assumption. I have mentioned I am a convert many times and think I may be the only one posting here. I admit I may have taken it too personally and apologize.
Again, this is another word that needs careful definition. From New Advent:
I would say that any Catholic that deems himself a liberal would be well advised to study the condemnations made against modern liberalism in depth, to be assured that they understand the limitations and the dangers of philosophical modernism and rationalism.
According to the author, these are the principles of Liberalism:
1 and 2 are not really relevant to modern liberalism (in my opinion). Some liberals may believe that but the majority would simply scratch their heads at those statments.
No, you are not alone. I too, am a convert. And the kitties are cuties.
Not quite yet. To use the bottom picture as a demonstration of theological liberalism. The hand is the liberal, whose job it is to push for new thoughts and ideas. The cat is the conservative whose job it is to keep the limits of new thoughts in line!
I am tempted to start a new thread on whether or not persons consider themselves liberals or conservatives. Could throw a few sparks.
Go for it glendab! Would be interesting. I believe it was you a few pages back that mentioned a book called Liberalism is a Sin, by Rev. Fr. Felix Sarda Salvany. I believe it was written in 1886. Can you imagine what he’d have to say about liberalism, 2014?..Holy smokes!
But how will you hi-lite those things you wish to retain, underline the things that “click” and write comments in the margins?
I only hope and pray the good Bishop Scheider will be present at the meeting of Bishops that was mentioned. I pray the Holy Spirit will descent upon all those Bishops and only the everlasting truths and practices of our faith will come to bear with them, like at the First Ecumenical Council Nicea.
I’m already underlining in my copy and there are a few dog-eared pages too. I’m rough on books.But how will you hi-lite those things you wish to retain, underline the things that “click” and write comments in the margins?
A well-read book needs to show its mileage! You should see my paperback copy!
Wait, does this comment imply that the so-called
, hip “modern world” of things like free contraception paid for by USA nuns, abortion on demand and so-called gay “marriage” is not only an unoriginal idea but predates Constitutional conservative values, which would make it even more old, outdated and yucky by progressive standards?! 
As the good Bishop Scheider reported, and I have reason to doubt him, it was a grave mistake to allow the faithful to receive Holy Eucharist in their own Hands. This was not the original idea of the Vatican Council, nor of Pope Paul VI. It was a disobedience by certain bishops in Germany and some other regions. It was introduced to the USA by deceit as reported by the good bishop.
My prayers are with yours RevPasquella. We need some firm, serious guidance today. God Bless, Memaw
For the record, the Latin word is “Accipite” as in (accipere, accepi, acceptus) from which our English word “accept” comes from.
