Dear Mr. Vennari,
How is it that you and all other traditionalist leaders
and editors, persist in your failure to see...or is it a willing
blindness? - that the Second Vatican Council's "Original Sin"
is that of believing that the Church, like all other institutions on
"planet" earth, must evolve - that is change or die and go
extinct! This is made clear in Paragraph 26 of Pascendi. Archbishop
Lefebvre not only lacked Catholic vision - but was unable - or refused to learn
from the truly Catholic vision of Pope St. Pius X, who is the one who has
warned the Church of the evolutionary, modernist threat. It is an
evolutionary ideology that permeates the documents of Vatican II, and those who
refuse to see it, and point it out, will surely have much to answer for. The
"pastoral language", of the council, while real, was but another of
the modernist, rhetorical, sophisticated strategies of deception, "to
deceive, if possible, even the elect."
Finally, let me call to your attention what I think is
really going on, especially with the theological need for, and respect for, the
natural sciences. In the March issue of The Creationist monthly magazine,
Acts and Facts, science writer Brian Thomas gives four reasons why most
scientists seem to trust the seriously flawed methods of radioisotope dating
methods of fossils and the rocks. They are #1. The long ages fit the
evolutionary ideology, which depends upon the illusion that given enough time….
#2. Many scientists accept the evolutionary and
atheistic worldview because it seems to allow for an immoral lifestyle with no
account to be given. #3. To abandon evolution and espouse Creation
as Truth requires – would jeopardize the standing of credentialed
scientists in the secular world of academia. The reality of this danger
was documented in the movie - Expelled, and in the book Slaughter
of the Innocents by Jerry Bergman. #4. Many scientists seem
genuinely ignorant of the unwarranted assumptions on which the dating methods
are based. I do not think any of these reasons apply to our Catholic
Churchmen and scientists. And so, in their case I add a #5. It is a
form of human respect, based on a weak faith, especially in the dogma
concerning the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. When the truth is finally
revealed, as it surely will be one day, it is assumed or feared that it will
appear the Church has erred or been mistaken for centuries in her apparent
acceptance of a science falsely so-called. (Tim: 6:20.)
Or it is feared that for certain – very conservative
prelates, such as Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini, to be seen as having been deceived –
for he certainly was about the long ages – is too severe a blow for the
Church to sustain. Not so!
The Church is “without stain or wrinkle”.
It is only her weak and sinful members who are stains, and they flake off like
the scabs of disease, without touching the spotless Deposit of Faith or
tarnishing it in the least. But that weakness of faith remains for all to
see in the failure of Churchmen to uphold the truth that was defended in the
Galileo Case. See Sungenis and Redmond O’Hanlon.
