From Vatican II to the Abomination of Synodality: Birds of a Feather

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-28

[00:00:01]Good day my friends. Good to be with you again. Want to make sure my microphone is Yeah, it's the right microphone selected. Um today I'm going to do some Q&A and the questions are about one of them is about some document from from the Senate on cinidality and are they going to rewrite the Novasordto. Um and then there are two questions that pertain to the SSPX. Basically what's what's going to happen to lay people if excommunications are are leveled on July 1st? what would the scope of those be?

[00:00:30]What does that mean for you and me if we attend an SSPX chapel?

[00:00:35]And another one was a question about someone, you know, their bishop says no one should go to the SSPX, but they go, are they sinning? And what do we do with that? So, we're going to get to those questions. Stay tuned.

[00:00:51]All right, ladies and gentlemen, before I continue, there's two matters of business. Today, as I record this, it's May 27th, and there are how many days in May? 30 31.

[00:01:10]June 1st, everyone who has complimentary access to this Substack because they were a subscriber to Pelican Plus, that complimentary access will be turned off and then you'll have to upgrade as a paid member to access posts behind a payw wall. Much of what I do is is available for free, but there are things like, you know, these these questions, these Q&A questions are submitted by subscribers in the subscriber chat, which is for paid subscribers.

[00:01:42]And just to sort of clean up some of that mess because you know I as I've mentioned before uh many people migrated to Pelican because they wanted to support me and I'm so grateful for that.

[00:01:54]So I've rece so I I said about a month ago when I started doing my Substack again that for those of you who you know put your hard-earned money into Pelican and things you bought a yearly membership or whatever it was please reach out to me.

[00:02:08]And I'd like to honor that as much as I can. So many of you have reached out to me and I hope that I have I hope that I have um done what you deserve by helping you by honoring I should say the commitment that you made. Uh perhaps uh many of you are here because you got this complimentary membership but you weren't a substack substack subscriber.

[00:02:30]If you like what we do here then you would have to subscribe here. And if you have any questions about anything that I'm doing, please let me know a [email protected].

[00:02:44]Also, if I make any mistakes, like if you had emailed me, cuz I made a list and I think I stuck to it properly, but if you had emailed me and I said, "Okay, I'll make sure that I compliment you as this or that because you paid this or that." If I make any mistakes and the lights go off for you on June 1st and they weren't supposed to go off, I'm so sorry. I will fix it. Just email me mirroratradition atgmail.com.

[00:03:09]I will do my best. It's just me. Um I don't have a support staff or whatever.

[00:03:16]So I'll do my best.

[00:03:18]Last thing, I am going to Mexico in uh December for a pilgrimage with a priest of the sight of St. pest attent.

[00:03:27]It is the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Csterero war conflict where many wonderful faithful Catholics were martyed. Uh you know, you think of the the the Mexican crystal martyrs that you've heard of. We're also going to be visiting we're going to be visiting some of these holy sites that have to do with them, but we're also going to be going to some of the holy sites of just the Mexican Catholic tradition. Of course, Our Lady of Guadalupe and other places.

[00:03:48]It's a wonderful pilgrimage hosted by Catholic Heritage Tours, which is a great company I've worked with with before. and uh it's going to be great.

[00:03:56]So, if you'd like to attend uh if especially if you're from a northern climate, getting out of the cold in the middle of December isn't the worst thing in the world. And uh it's going to be great. It's a great way to do something in Advent. Get ready for the birth of our Lord and Savior. And I hope you join me. You can go to kennedyhall.ca/mexico or just click the link down below.

[00:04:21]And uh oh, I lied. One more thing. I want people to be able to access uh my book SSPX the defense and I've worked with a gentleman who has a website called Trad GPT not chat tragpt.ai.

[00:04:40]It's a great website where he's using the power of this technology for traditional Catholicism. And he agreed very graciously to host my book there so people can read it for free as an ebook.

[00:04:52]And I'll actually show you that on screen here.

[00:04:56]So if you click the link underneath, it's trad.ai.

[00:05:05]It's a really great website. It's not all AI stuff, but what he's done is he's used the power of AI, so to speak, to put together all of these amazing compilations of documents. So like you go into Magisterium and it's all laid out here and all these wonderful things.

[00:05:20]It's all traditional. And uh he even has this really amazing um a catechism of the Catholic faith where it's it's it's really cool what he's done. And it's it's it's using the motif of a cathedral and then he pulls together all these amazing traditional traditional sources. But and there also is an AI component which AI is not free like he has to host this thing and like you have to pay for the tokens or however it works. So to use the actual AI functions, you do have to subscribe um like you would for anything and and and that's fair obviously. Um but to just sort of browse what's on the site just as a resource place, it's really really really really good. Really good.

[00:06:00]15 um different catechism documents like traditional ones, Catechism of Trent, um you know, Catechism of Pest the 10th, just amazing amazing stuff. And my book, if you go to the homepage, trad.ai, click on author spotlight, my book is right there. And you can read this book like an ebook. And if you down if you use your phone to read it like you would for a lot of documents, then it just you just migrate through it like a um like an ebook. So, it's it's for free. You can buy it if you'd like.ca/books.

[00:06:39]That's nice. That supports me. But at this point, um, I just want people to be able to read and learn about the SSPX if they want. And the book is there available for free. And, um, and if you make an account on tradppt.ai, then when you use the reader function, it bookmarks and all that sort of stuff.

[00:07:01]If you just kind of go to it and don't whatever, you're going to have to go to your, but if you make an account, it just bookmarks and stuff just like a Kindle function kind of thing. So, it's great. So, so check that out. link for that underneath tragpt.ai.

[00:07:14]All right, let's get to the first question here. So, the question is the following.

[00:07:21]With this new document on the implementation of cinidality, are they planning on rewriting the Novas Ordo liturgy?

[00:07:29]Okay. Without getting into the specifics of any of the recent documents about codality, because I'm not sure exactly which one you're talking about, let's just go over a couple things here.

[00:07:41]The sinod and cinidality is an abomination.

[00:07:44]It is a mockery of the Holy Ghost. It is the fruit of the modernist conception of tradition.

[00:07:54]The modernist conception of tradition is found in the document de verbam which is from the second Vatican council and it's a document on the scriptures and the oh oh you know what I'll read it for you here. So if I just look up Dave Verbum bear with me here for a second. Dave Verbum I'll open it up.

[00:08:21]I believe it's paragraph 8.

[00:08:25]Yeah, I'll show you on screen here.

[00:08:33]I'll make it so that you can all see it properly.

[00:08:39]There, that should be good.

[00:08:42]It's paragraph 8. It's the um the second Well, it's section 8, but it's the second paragraph in paragraph 8.

[00:08:53]This tradition which comes from the apostles develops in the church with the help of the Holy Spirit. For there is a growth in the understanding of the realities and the words which have been handed on. This happens through the contemplation and study made by believers who treasure these things in their hearts. Through a penetrating understanding of the spiritual realities which they experience and through the preaching of those who have received through episcopal succession the sure gift of truth. This is a new translation by the way. I haven't read this translation yet. It's changed. For as the centuries succeed one another, the church constantly moves forward towards the fullness of divine truth until the words of God reach their complete fulfillment in her. So implicitly in this last line, the church is moving towards finally having the full truth. I mean your your your Catholic spidey sense should be tingling there. That's a big problem. Um how does the church not already have the fullness of truth?

[00:09:45]I mean that's insane. I mean yeah that's insane. Um in addition though when it says there's a growth in the understanding of the realities and the words which have been handed down.

[00:10:03]That's true. This is development of dogma. But how does this happen? This happens through the contemplation and study of uh made by believers who treasure these things in their hearts through a penetrating understanding of the spiritual realities which they experience.

[00:10:20]So the notion here is that understanding the truth comes from religious experience.

[00:10:27]That's basically the crux of that. Like everything with Vatican 2, like everything in the modernist era, it's a mix of truth and error. Okay? Because it is true that there is a growth in understanding. It's true.

[00:10:44]It is true that the preaching of those who have received through Episcopal succession the sure gift of truth. So it is true that tradition is handed on through the preaching of the clerics of the church.

[00:10:55]Of course it is. But look at the order here. The order is that this happens one by your religious experience, two by the preaching.

[00:11:13]So the notion here is that the truth of the faith is learned through the experience of believers who ponder things within their hearts and then those things are preached to the faithful.

[00:11:26]You see the problem? So what is that?

[00:11:29]Well, that's the sonat on cidality.

[00:11:31]We get together, we have a sharing session about the experiences we have.

[00:11:36]Then those things are put together as a as a collective experience. Then that collective experience is presented to the episcopal episcopet. Then the episcopet preaches to us the fruits of those experiences. And that's the truth of tradition.

[00:11:54]It's an in it's a it's a reverse order of tradition whereas in reality tradition is the deposit of faith handed on from the apostles preached to us that we accept.

[00:12:06]Now again there is growth and understanding of certain things but our experiences have no bearing on what is true or not.

[00:12:14]And if you compare this and I've gone through this before and it's in my book what happened to Catholicism in great detail. If we compare this to um Pashendi by Pope Pius the 10th where he condemns modernism and explains it.

[00:12:29]This explanation of tradition is is basically what the modernists say about the evolution of dogma. Basically it's heretical.

[00:12:37]Um the mentality behind it is heretical.

[00:12:40]Is anything in that document objectively heretical? One could argue not. Is the reversing of the order something that will lead to heresy? Yes.

[00:12:52]Which is what the sonidality is. And when Pope John Paul II um penalized Archbishop Lev, he said Archbishop Lev the he said the root of his schism is the fact that he has an incomplete understanding of tradition. This is in the document ecclesi.

[00:13:11]And then he went on to say because tradition is and then he quoted this paragraph from the second Vatican council and the insinuation was that Archbishop Lev's understanding of tradition was contrary to the church's understanding of tradition and because his understanding of tradition was contrary to the church's understanding of tradition. This is what in in its most fundamental form is what drove Archbishop Lev to schism. That's what John Paul II believed. So John Paul II believed that Archbishop Lev became a schismatic because he didn't understand tradition the way that the second Vatican council understands it.

[00:13:46]But the way that the second Vatican council understands it is contrary to tradition. So you are a schismatic because your understanding of tradition is rooted in tradition. That's what that means.

[00:13:59]It's insane. Um also come on second Vatican Council defines nothing. Pope Paul V 6 made that clear. John the 23rd made it clear that that wasn't the purpose of it. So, how can one how can one be out of step with the Catholic faith apparently because they're out of step with Vatican 2 when Vatican 2 apparently didn't change the faith?

[00:14:24]Because wouldn't it be the case that if you understood tradition the way it was always understood before the council that there wouldn't be a problem with what was understood in the council?

[00:14:34]Because isn't there supposed to be a continuity between the two?

[00:14:40]It's just chaos. It's these these these modern churchmen, they just can't think. They can't think. And I'm not saying this because, oh, look at me. I'm so smart. No.

[00:14:57]In a little while, I'm going to be going on someone's podcast. I'm not sure when, but basically, I want to they want to talk to me about this SSPX thing and and get my take and whatever. And before I go on podcasts and various shows, I like to sort of think about how I'm going to answer certain questions so I can be prepared. So I just I think out loud and I and I talk through these things to myself. And if I could try to distill like what is at the crux of the conflict between traditionalists and between the Vatican, what is it? Like you have to be able to explain these things simply for normal people. Not because normal people are not intelligent enough to understand them when they're complex. That's not what I'm saying.

[00:15:53]But if you can't explain something simply, then you don't understand it.

[00:16:05]The crux of the problem between the people who are from the before time and the after time, you know, the traditionalists versus the modernists.

[00:16:17]The main problem and difference there is their fundamental philosophy of reality.

[00:16:28]The modern churchmen have embraced the mentality of modern philosophical thinking.

[00:16:37]The traditionalists have rejected the mentality of modern philosophical thinking.

[00:16:44]The modern churchmen have embraced the mentality of modern philosophical thinking because they have already embodied the notion like we just read in this document from the second Vatican council that the church is moving towards the fullness of truth through a process of evolution.

[00:17:03]It's modernism.

[00:17:05]But if that is true and they believe that, then they must believe not only that our understanding of truth can develop, but that it can essentially develop so much to the point where what is presented to us bears no substantial resemblance to what was presented to us in the past. I would call that a rupture. You would call that a rupture.

[00:17:31]I would call that an evolution in kind, not just in degree. You would call that an evolution in kind, not just in degree. But they accept the principles of evolution, both physically and metaphysically. So they do believe that one thing can become another thing but still be of the same thing.

[00:17:54]It's a philosophical heresy. There was a great Catholic thinker named Wolf Gang Smith. He just passed away. I almost got him on my show, but he was too old. He was like 93 and he couldn't do any more shows. I was talking to one of his uh assistants and we almost made it happen, but he was just too old and tired. God rest his soul.

[00:18:14]And he has this wonderful line because he was very much and this Wolf Gang Smith fell. Some people think he's controversial because he was one of those big brain amazing thinkers and he would go certain places with certain things and I thought he was great. But anyway, he was a traditionalist and he was vehemently against evolution and he just for for background he had something like two or three degrees by the time he was 18 from like Cornell University, mathematics, all this sort of stuff.

[00:18:41]Like he was a superinker and his background in mathematics made him convinced that evolution was impossible and he was right on that. And then he started to think about it more philosophically and he had this really amazing line and he said, "Evolution is the heresy that created things create themselves."

[00:19:03]So perfect. Evolution is the heresy that created things create themselves.

[00:19:08]That's what it is philosophically speaking.

[00:19:12]That mentality exists in the physical, but it also exists in the metaphysical before someone becomes a physical evolutionist. So like with biology they must accept the principles in metaphysics first.

[00:19:27]There is room for something like obviously a micro evolution. So you know things that belong to certain parts of the animal kingdom like they can they can over time with breeding selectiveness and things like that you know become like there are certain types of canines like a chihuahua and then there's a wolf you know okay they're obviously very different things but they don't become a different kind of thing and this is why the scriptures talk to talk to us about the different kinds of animals not species but kinds right because within a certain kind you can have certain subspecies evolutionist tears down the whole notion of differences of kind.

[00:20:06]This is why, you know, apparently we're chimpanzees that are, you know, bald and can think better. But anyway, so that mentality in philosophy and in theology is the death of reason.

[00:20:22]And the death of reason results in chaotic thinking and the chaotic thinking results in having to host a number of different contradictions at the same time. So on the one hand one can say Vatican 2 changed teaching of the church which is what is necessary to believe if you believe that not accepting a teaching from Vatican 2 which was a non-dogmatic non well it was a non-definitive council.

[00:20:53]You have to believe that something from a council that didn't define things has the power to bind someone to it as if it were defined which is a contradiction.

[00:21:02]And you have to believe that somehow Vatican 2 did not change church teaching. But if you do not accept the changes to the way church teaching is presented, you actually don't believe enough of church teaching to still be Catholic.

[00:21:18]Contradictions all over the place.

[00:21:23]But if you believe that the church is on a process of discovery towards understanding towards the fullness of truth, then you necessarily what do you have to accept from that? You have to accept because bear with me here.

[00:21:41]One of the problems is that Catholic modernists are in a position that makes their that Catholic modernists have to deal with something that non-atholic modernists don't have to deal with. I'll explain what I mean.

[00:22:05]like a non-atholic modernist. So like a Protestant who's accepted modern philosophy or a secular person or whatever, they don't have to they're not under any requirement to accept that the stuff from the before time was true.

[00:22:30]just being a Protestant, it's like it's a disaster and Martin Luther figured it out and it's totally different than 1500 years of Christianity, blah blah blah, right?

[00:22:41]Like they've already rejected de facto the binding character of revealed truth through the scriptures and through the church, through tradition and through the divine revelation. They've rejected that out of hand.

[00:22:58]So there's no conflict in fundamentally changing dogma, which is why Protestants are always fighting each other on like who's part of the true church, blah blah blah. What do you really have to believe to be a Christian? It's like it's insane.

[00:23:12]Non-Christians, non-atholics don't have a problem with that because they can look at the scriptures like they're basically a piece of mythology, like the Iliad, and they can just say, "Yeah, there's lots of uh good stuff in there." And there's lots of good stuff in the mythology, too. And you know different people over different times uh get closer and closer to the truth and we just keep mixing it all together and then uh we just keep uh you know one day the AI is going to be conscious and he'll tell us the whole thing. You know like that's how a secular person can think. The mo the Catholic modernist is the worst of them all because he's he's actually intellectually dishonest. The the non-atholic modernist is honest like the secularist who believe truth changes. He's wrong. He's honest. The Protestant who believes truth changes, he's wrong, but he's honest. The Catholic modernist who on the one hand tells us that Catholicism never changes, but then requires us to accept changes in Catholicism to remain Catholic. He's the most wicked of them all because he's also a hypocrite.

[00:24:19]The sinod and cidality is the fruit of this hypocrisy.

[00:24:24]So it must be rejected out of hand because it's logically absurd. It's an abomination. And I said at the beginning why it is a mockery of the Holy Ghost because the Holy Ghost is our advocate who brings us into the fullness of truth.

[00:24:47]But there's a mentality in the modern church that basically when a bunch of Catholics get together and they share their feelings that this is really the Holy Ghost. It's not. This is why it's a mockery of the Holy Ghost.

[00:24:59]This is why it's a mockery of the Holy Ghost. And this is why it's impossible.

[00:25:04]It's impossible that the Second Vatican Council was protected by the Holy Ghost from error because it was because Listen as Catholics.

[00:25:23]Okay. There are rules in physical and there are rules in metaphysical. There are laws in nature. There are laws in super nature.

[00:25:36]So if you read like St. Luda Montfort for example and he talks about advancement in the spiritual life. He will say things like follow this system.

[00:25:43]I'm paraphrasing but follow this system and you will advance in the spiritual life. In the same way a doctor could say to you take this medicine and you will get better.

[00:25:58]We know that it's true in the in the physical because we see the effects of it because the various chemicals and whatever have to follow the laws of nature. In the same way, we know that it's true in the metaphysical because the laws in metaphysics have to follow the laws of supernatur.

[00:26:16]And in fact, the laws of super nature are higher than the laws of nature because they are indestructible in the same way the soul is higher than the body because the soul is the form of the body.

[00:26:32]The laws and super nature can't be corrupted. Uh they're they're outside the realm of corruption because they're not suspect or subject to the changing in the physical world.

[00:26:48]The second Vatican council did not follow the plan. It did not follow the program. It did not follow the laws of super nature by invoking the protection of the Holy Ghost for the definition of things infallibly which was promised to the church.

[00:27:09]So as far as a syninnod and cenidality is concerned, it is the logical fruit of the second Vatican council because it's the logical fruit of the modernist conception of tradition.

[00:27:21]So will they rewrite the novasordo? Who knows?

[00:27:26]If they do, they'll rewrite the rewriting and they'll rewrite the rewriting the of the rewriting and it will all be chocked up to the experience of believers who ponder these things in their hearts and they share their spiritual experiences and then those things make it to the bishops and the bishops preach it and that's the truth.

[00:27:46]It's the complete inversion of religion.

[00:27:49]Which is why Pope Pas the 10th said that modernism was the destruction not only of Catholicism but he said that it would be the destruction of natural religion because it's a inversion of the order of nature by a rejection of the laws of supernatur.

[00:28:12]Okay. So that is the crux of the difference between the people who think like those from the before time and those who think like the people from the after time. And that's why the Catholic modernists are the most wicked of all the modernists because they do you know what a chimera is? Have you heard of the term chimera? a chime. It's an idea in biology or whatever physical sciences where basically you you basically try to put living things together to make a new living thing.

[00:28:44]Obviously, the thing will die. Like you take a dog and you try to attach it to a cat or you try to splice them and breed them or something like it won't it won't live. It can't. So when something is like a like a proverbial Frankenstein monster, right, you would say it's a chimera and it's necessarily infertile and it dies.

[00:29:05]The mentality of the of the postconilia era is chimeriic.

[00:29:10]It's the blending together of things that that create infertility.

[00:29:18]And this is why there's no vocations in the postconilia church generally speaking.

[00:29:24]This is why no one goes to mass anymore generally speaking because the spirit of the council is chimeic. It's infertile and it's destructive to life.

[00:29:37]This is why in tradition you see growth still because it's fertile because it follows the laws of nature and super nature.

[00:29:48]You see what I'm saying?

[00:29:52]This is why Pope Pas the 10th when he gave his solution to modernism, he said the solution to modernism was scholastic philosophy was Aquinus.

[00:30:08]Now that drives modernists crazy. It doesn't just drive modernists crazy. It drives hermeneutic of continuity people crazy too because hermeneutic of continuity people, they don't like to go that far. and they like to think that you can have your modern philosophy and your non-scolasticism and still be a traditionalist. They're good-natured, but they're wrong. Now, not every Catholic has to be a tois to be saved.

[00:30:33]That's not what I'm saying. But what is Thomas Aquinas? What is scholastic philosophy?

[00:30:40]It's a perfect recipe.

[00:30:42]It's a perfect method. Doesn't mean every is correct. It doesn't mean everything Thomas Aquinus said was correct. The funny thing about Aquinus even where centuries later when like for example the dispute about the immaculate conception the reason why there was a dispute about the immaculate conception is because there was a notion that ensulment did not take place until some days with 40 days 80 days whatever until after conception and Thomas Aquinus following the ancients believed in a delayed ensulment. element which was a dominant belief amongst people for a really long time that element itself had not been defined at the time. So even where Aquinus is wrong about the immaculate conception, he's wrong in his conclusion, but he's correct in his reasoning. That's the genius of Aquinas.

[00:31:44]And if installment were true, he would be correct. If delayed installment were true, he would be correct. He was following Aristotle on that, which most were at the time.

[00:31:56]Pest I 9th settles this debate about the immaculate conception and the nature of ensulment when he defines infallibly the doctrine the dogma of the immaculate conception because he says the Virgin Mary from the moment of her conception etc etc. So the only re the only way you can be conceived without sin is if there's a soul when you're conceived which means the delayed installment is not possible. You see scholasticism, tomisism, etc. It's the perfect method. It's the perfect recipe.

[00:32:34]You think about cooking.

[00:32:37]Like if you follow the rules of Italian gastronomy, you can't make food that tastes bad.

[00:32:47]You can't. It's just the rules are like the the ingredients, the methods, etc. if you follow the rules. Like this is a totally an aside here, but I'm Italian, you know, whatever. And I and I I eat spaghetti and penet and whatever like 34 times a week. And if you don't salt your water to the point where the water tastes like it's the water in the ocean, you're not cooking pasta correctly.

[00:33:17]If you cook it beyond even, you shouldn't even follow what's on the box. If it says nine minutes, cook it for eight because it will be if you leave it in the water for 9 minutes, it continues cooking after. So, it'll go beyond al dente. Cook it for eight. Take it off. The cooking process slows down.

[00:33:35]It'll get the effect of the 9 minutes.

[00:33:37]When you eat it, it'll still be to the teeth. Al dente. If you are just like in I don't know if you have this term in America but in Canada we call like non-mediterranean people this is like Italians Portuguese we would use these terms we would say he's a mongji cake. What does that mean? It just means like someone who's a mix of Anglo or whatever. Not an insult. Well kind of is but I'm half mongji cake so I can I can say that. Um, if you present, if you just follow the basic rules of how to cook spaghetti or pennet or whatever, the way that Italians would make you do it, and you just salt the water substantially, and you cook the noodles to a minute below what the package says.

[00:34:32]If you if you take it off, don't put it under the Don't rinse it, by the way. If you just literally take it off, strain it, make sure some pasta water is still in the in the actual noodles, throw in a nub, a nub of butter, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese, you present that to someone who's never had properly made spaghetti, they will think they've died and gone to heaven, and they'll be like, "How does this taste so good?" It has nothing to do with the sauce. It's because you start with the perfect cooking of the noodles. And if you mess it up at the beginning, it doesn't matter what sauce you add to it. If you don't cook the noodles properly and you start to cook the starch out of them and then you rinse them off and all these kinds of things and then you add your sauce, the problem is it's going to stick together.

[00:35:13]Even if the sauce tastes good, tastes good, the spaghetti itself is going to be an abomination.

[00:35:22]I don't mean to insult people, but if you're doing that thing where you're cooking spaghetti and you put it on the table with just like the plain noodles, which are not salted, and they're overcooked and then you have the sauce and you just like pour the sauce on top on your plates.

[00:35:38]My friend, we we need to fix that.

[00:35:41]Please, please stop insulting my culture. Anyway, um toism is the perfect recipe.

[00:35:49]If you follow tomism and you follow the scholastic method, you might be wrong because you're wrong about fact or you might be bad at tomisism but the recipe hasn't failed. You failed.

[00:36:03]This is why tom this is why pest the 10th says that scholasticism toism is the solution to modernism because Thomas was the perfect harmonious synthesis as far as any person could ever be perfect.

[00:36:21]This is why he was exalted at the council of Trent. It was like the suma was on the altar and the bible.

[00:36:28]Thomas Aquinus is like the closest person to being divinely inspired since public revelation was closed with the last apostle.

[00:36:38]His work was so inspired by the fullness of logos of truth that you just can't go wrong when you follow his methods unless you make your own mistakes.

[00:36:53]The reason why scholasticism is the solution to the crisis is because he was the perfect harmonious synthesis of the best of antiquity both pre-Christian and post and he like a gardener he took the Aristotle he took the Augustine he took the this he took to that the fathers whoever east and west we kind of forget like there's this well we forget that Aristotle was Greek so Thomas Aquinus synthesizing Aristotle with the faith it's east and west people think it's like Thomas is just for Romans or the west no it's not true Thomas's philosophy was heavily influenced by two men primarily Aristotle and Aquinus and and Augustine Augustine was a Latin through and True.

[00:37:51]Aristotle was obviously a Greek.

[00:37:54]East and West are both there and Aquinus. That's why it's so perfect.

[00:38:00]And the Eastern Orthodox used to embrace tomism. By the way, this is why they were able to have the Council of Florence, even though it ultimately failed, why it was successful for a little while, is because they spoke the same language.

[00:38:17]because everyone of goodwill recognized Aquinus was the way to go. Anyway, so Tomism is the perfect synthesis. He was Thomas was like a gardener where he basically looked at all of the gardens of antiquity and he took all the weeds out and he trimmed all the trees and trimmed all the bushes and made sure they were in the right spot for the sunlight. D and what you got was just like this garden has reached the fullness of what gardening can do.

[00:38:52]You can't make these plants any more fertile and your job is then to be a steward of it not to change it otherwise it will be less fertile. So when we accept modern philosophy we are accepting antiism.

[00:39:08]When we accept anti-tomism, we accept spiritual death. We ex we accept being more abundant, the opposite of fakcundity. We accept infertility over fertility.

[00:39:22]And this is why people say, don't you know that John Paul II was a student of uh Gary Gulrrange and he passed his course and he tried to make his toistic personalism. Doesn't matter. You can't make toistic personalism.

[00:39:34]And by the way, the next time I hear somebody say John Paul II had Gary Guligrange as a professor, so like how can you say he didn't understand Aquinus? Martin Luther was an Augustinian. So how can you say he didn't understand Augustine? It's like that's not an argument. People can be students and pass courses but still be wrong. That's so stupid. I'm sorry.

[00:39:53]That's like I think the reason people can say that is because they can't think like toists.

[00:40:00]They're they're they're they're looking for something in the conclusion that's not there in the premise.

[00:40:06]Anyway, Cod and Cidality is an abomination.

[00:40:11]We kind of went on left field here.

[00:40:13]There's your answer. If they rewrite the Novasordo, who cares? Because they're going to they're going to rewrite it.

[00:40:19]They're going to rewrite everything.

[00:40:22]I mean, the head of doctrine for the Catholic Church is telling us that saying co-redemptrics is always inappropriate.

[00:40:31]He's attacking the Virgin Mary.

[00:40:34]Once you start going after the mother, what else is left?

[00:40:44]Nothing is sacred for these men.

[00:40:46]Nothing. Nothing is sacred for these men.

[00:40:50]They will destroy everything because their philosophy is death. It is metaphysical death. They will destroy everything. They can't help themselves.

[00:41:06]It's the wrong operating system in the hardware.

[00:41:11]If you put the wrong operating system in, it doesn't matter how good the hardware is.

[00:41:17]Cardinal Fernandez is very intelligent.

[00:41:23]His operating system has viruses and the system will eventually crash because it can't it can't th it can't survive.

[00:41:37]There's your answer and more.
