Thanks for the conversation. Ratzinger in Introduction to Christianity itself offers a critique of the Kierkegaard story of the clown and the way it put the clown in a position of certainty and the villagers in a position of ignorance. His response is that while the story has truth it doesn't wrestle with the fact both belief and doubt are both a common experience to most people.

In conversation with a spokesperson for Opus Dei about the increase of Evil in the modern world. The reply was Conspiracy Theory. You need to be on the inside of the Church to understand the situation we face ?

21:29 you mean, you now conform to modernism, so it’s no longer a problem

No biblical truth here. Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior. Jesus is the holy father, King of Kings Lord of Lords and Prince of peace.
