Thank you Fr. Ripperger, Ryan Grant, and all; I also think that the Truth is the living God Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, it is not something we can entirely put into books and stored in bookshelves based on theological studies of the Sacred Scriptures and true traditions. I may be worried that the "truths" be lost if I put faith on human efforts, but I know that the Truth is entirely in God, the living God. I understand that as we go along through the ages, dealing with new events, people, new cultures, etc., we are bound to respond appropriately as we engage in the evangelization, and that we rely upon the Church's authority to do so, but above all else we know that God continuously communicates with us through the Church, the saints, apparitions from heaven, and miracles; even chastisements. I know it is important for us to understand the faith correctly and to keep the faith right by opposing errors, but I just think that those in authority who know and understand a lot of written documents, laws, and Church teachings not to get carried away by thinking that the Church is kept right through human works and efforts; God is in action and will use humble people to reveal His messages, like in Fatima or to St. Bernadette, etc.

[@dasan9178]

Something I heard in a different Catholic YT video related to the Book of Daniel has stayed with me: God is the master of history. He puts kings on their thrones and deposes them according to his plan. There is no winning side apart from God’s. The sooner we get on it (and stay there), the less chastisement we’ll end up suffering.

[@pdstor]

Yes, it is also important to lean on the accomplishments of the Saints and to not lean on intellectual books when appropriate; books have their place, but all of it comes together to call us as humans to putting on Christ and acquiring the Holy Spirit. I believe I've heard Fr. Ripperinger more or less say this in other talks. It is the correct way to proceed.

[@pdstor]

@@dasan9178 Hey, but I thought it was all about power to the people and building the Kingdom of God in this world how you think it should be (not how that old stuffy Church thought it should be) and especially how it is as in John Lennon's "Imagine."

I was shocked to see the old video of Fr. Ripperger stating in error his biased misinformed comments on Archbishop Lefrebve, the excommunication and the SSPX. I believe he was at that point repeating the "party line" of the FSSP , whom more than 90% of the time act charitably speaking lies regarding the SSPX and the so called fake schism. It's been well over a year or so, he started his own approved Trad Order of Exorcists, I'd love to hear if he's had an epiphany regarding the position of Lefrebve, whom Archbishop Viganó has now assimilated.

“From such an extravegent summary, we can draw only one conclusion: either we must condemn the Second Vatican Council which authorized it, or we must condemn the Council of Trent and all the Popes who, since the sixteenth century, have declared Protestantism heretical and schismatic.” Marcel Lefebvre, Open Letter to Confused Catholics

[@dasan9178]

I was raised Protestant and know many others who I’m pretty sure are Christian people. Even so, I’ve had to admit that they are missing quite a bit of what it is to be Christian. It’s a worse circumstance than poorly catechized Catholics. They have the basic message right, but then diverge onto wildly different paths that lead to some very wrong conclusions. I agree with Fr. Ripperger than much of what they think is based on opinion. Trying to correct such opinions is exhausting, requiring a lot of listening and research. You can’t refute closely held opinions without some real facts. Kind of odd that people would believe something wrong based on mere opinions, but refuse to give up those beliefs without a lot of facts.

[@erics7992]

This is really good. How is it that the period year 1100-1750 was selected as the period for the theologians?

[@ethanpace2225]

My understanding is that this period roughly corresponds to the work of the Scholastic theologians of the Church. Many of the great universities (Salamanca, Paris) in which they worked were founded at the beginning of this era. In addition to the general academic rigor, their work was overseen by and carried out within the Catholic Church. A lapse on the part of the theologians of this era would entail something like a fatal lapse of the teaching authority of the Church Herself, who sanctioned and promoted their work.

[@erics7992]

@@ethanpace2225 Thanks for the explanation. To pin a beginning point on that era is difficult since 1100 seemed to me to be quite a while after the close of the Patristic Age, but you are right: the era that started at that time with the founding of those universities, while it was different than the time of the Fathers, was something very special.

[@pdstor]

@@ethanpace2225 It's too early for Scholasticism. What that is pointing toward -at least what I gathered - is the period between when the monasteries in the West were reintroduced to the ancient texts and the medieval works on them from the Moors and from Constantinople (folks like John Damascene, Maximus the Confessor etc.) to the onset and immediate encroachment of the Enlightenment and its Modernist children beginning in 1750, and the subsequent Dark Age we're currently in. Despite the sad, petty fights over issues that were all internally debated for century upon century within the context of Communion, we in the East always exchanged works back and forth from the West and together continued to grow from it and mutually benefit, even after nasty, sad and sinful conflicts like the Massacre of the Latins and the robber crusade that sacked Constantinople. We may not be proper Churches from your point of view, but Fr. Ripperinger never denies the loss of sacramental value nor asserts the impossibility of restoring ourselves as Churches back in communion with Rome. The reintroduction of rigorous translations and commentary on Aristotle to the West after the fall of the Western half of the Empire transformed a slow (and honestly, familiar) aristocratic decay into a period of slothful intellectual growth and the eventual loss of Monastic discipline ended rather abruptly during the Crusades as these key works were circulated and re-promoted throughout the West, which then cast off a relative torpor for rigorous growth and theology in 1100. Rome then returned to what I personally (from an Eastern Orthodox perspective) call its Silver Age, with its Golden Age being back when all of us were swept in Arianism and Rome was the sole Church to make it through. And just like with us, the far worse Enlightenment ended the general trust in your average theologian that we both had until the second half of the eighteenth century, when the smoke of Satan began creeping in.

[@pikespeakaudio8898]

I would like it if Rev. Ripperger had provided a citation as to this particular interval of years, since the various magisterial documents regarding the importance of the common consensus of theologians don't seem to mention a specific timeframe.

[@erics7992]

@@pikespeakaudio8898 I would too. It is one of those things that seems to make sense but still I'd like to know where exactly he is getting it from. I personally don't think that the era of the theologians is equal to the era of the Fathers but I also doubt very much that there is anything that the theologians were unanimous about that would trouble the Fathers very much.

[@m.proximus1930]

RE: statements proximate to heresy or suspect of heresy... This asks a lot of the average catholic in the pew, who is denied basic catichetical formation at the parish and is encouraged to engage in secular and religious activity with non-catholics. Thus, avoidance of material and even formal heresy seems like an unreachably high bar for these Catholics. Most Catholics.

[@carolynkimberly4021]

I am so grateful for this. It is very hard to find any theologian willing and ABLE intellectually to discuss the problem of errors in V2 documents like Lumen Gentium. V2 has continued to corrupt the Tradition of the Faith.

[@pikespeakaudio8898]

At approximately 1:19:00, after Rev. Ripperger talks about how religious obedience is obligatory "unless there's sufficient reason to the contrary", Ryan Grant rightly brings up how subjective this attitude is, and justly inquires as to how one avoids "Protestant private judgment" (in practical terms) when you have areas of subjective disagreement over normally objective matters. Ripperger's response, beginning at 1:19:40, essentially argues as follows: the criteria for withholding religious obedience to the current magisterium is based on the actual Tradition of the past, and what has been defined by the magisterium. He lists the objective criteria as "the tradition" first ("But you HAVE TO KNOW THE TRADITION WELL," he emphasizes; "you have to have precise knowledge of exactly how they're talking about it and you can't just have some vague knowledge of it..."), and "the magisterium" second. *This is exactly backwards!* It inverts the proper order of things, because it is through the Divine Teaching Authority of the Church that we even know what pertains to Sacred Tradition (and Sacred Scripture) to begin with! Rev. Ripperger essentially argues that the average lay Catholic must know the precise content of Tradition so that they may know if or when they can withhold obedience to the "current Magisterium". In that case, why even have a Magisterium at all? This attitude is profoundly non-Catholic in theory and in practice. Contrast it with His Holiness Leo XIII's words: "In defining the limits of the obedience owed to the pastors of souls, but most of all to the authority of the Roman Pontiff, it must not be supposed that it is only to be yielded in relation to dogmas of which the obstinate denial cannot be disjoined from the crime of heresy. Nay, further, it is not enough sincerely and firmly to assent to doctrines which, though not defined by any solemn pronouncement of the Church, are by her proposed to belief, as divinely revealed, in her common and universal teaching, and which the Vatican Council declared are to be believed “with Catholic and divine faith.” But this likewise must be reckoned amongst the duties of Christians, that they allow themselves to be ruled and directed by the authority and leadership of bishops, and, above all, of the apostolic see. And how fitting it is that this should be so any one can easily perceive. For the things contained in the divine oracles have reference to God in part, and in part to man, and to whatever is necessary for the attainment of his eternal salvation. Now, both these, that is to say, what we are bound to believe and what we are obliged to do, are laid down, as we have stated, by the Church using her divine right, and in the Church by the supreme Pontiff. Wherefore it belongs to the Pope to judge authoritatively what things the sacred oracles contain, as well as what doctrines are in harmony, and what in disagreement, with them; and also, for the same reason, to show forth what things are to be accepted as right, and what to be rejected as worthless; what it is necessary to do and what to avoid doing, in order to attain eternal salvation. For, otherwise, there would be no sure interpreter of the commands of God, nor would there be any safe guide showing man the way he should live." (Source: Encyclical Letter Sapientiae Christianae, Addressed by the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII to the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops of the Catholic world in Grace and Communion with the Apostolic See. Promulgated on January 10, 1890.)

[@MMC-jp1gl]

The whole idea of the Rolls of the Saints being stripped down to "well, they had Last Rites on their death bed and didn't refuse the sacraments of the Church" would put the likes of Senator Ted Kennedy on the docket for sainthood. I always had an understanding that the sainthood process, being a public act of the Church, was to elevate persons who displayed heroic sanctity so that others could emulate them, as well as confirming their place in heaven. My reason and common sense goes against the idea that JPII, Paul VI and other conciliar popes who promoted modernist concepts and caused scandal should be emulated in any way, shape or form. Do I want them in heaven? Of course, but just not on the rolls of the saints where people could follow some of their heretical examples (Assisi meetings, kissing Korans, persecuting Traditionalists etc) and find themselves on the way to hell rather than heaven. The enemy is taking advantage of this bare bones definition of sainthood in our era...my hope is that the devil's advocate be restored, that the issue of Pope Benedict's strange resignation be addressed and potentially stripping the problem canonizations from the rolls so as to reclaim the true spirit of the sainthood rolls in Christ's Church :+) God bless~

[@danpan001]

Actually the canonization of Saints is binding on the faithful. Their lives are examined all their writings are deemed without errors their actions should be emulated by Catholics. So Novus Ordo Catholics can not condemn kissing The Koran if Bergoglio is a valid Pope and therefore JP II is a Saint

[@MMC-jp1gl]

@@danpan001 Canonizations were binding when canonizations actually did their due diligence in examining the person rather than giving them the thumbs up instantly. "Pope?" Francis isn't a valid Pope...canonists and theologians from the very beginning saw something very "off" about Pope Benedict's resignation but they were silenced. Read the Barnhardt thesis. This is probably a mercy from God in that it gives people time to learn the true faith and that no saint would kiss a satanic book let alone have an Assisi Meeting with false religions. God bless~

But in writing, he would have to suffer his inability to grasp the theology becoming clear to all. Add to that, Peter Dimond is the one who told the press, in regard to a lawsuit, tgat the state is not competent to determine the true religion, which is directly opposed to Quas Primas.

Question: A family member has a deep believe through private revelation, that Pope Francis is not the pope. Knowing this, my spouse invited him to lead the Rosary prayer in my home home. Would this prayer time be efficacious for receiving graces and indulgences for the rest of the family? Another problem, this person truly believes in the writings of Maria Divine Mercy and is determined to continue to do so regardless of the Archbishop's warning to rid off any of these writings. How likely would it be for this writer to be demonically possesed therefore, infecting him?

[@a1parra]

Father Ripperger I have a question? I have heard you say more on one occasion that people think to much with their feelings. God gave us feelings and instinct. Can explain the difference in some way? For me if something doesn’t feel right I won’t do it. Should I not think that way?!!

[@liammccann8763]

Great question. In a previous video, Fr Ripperger explained that in our original state our emotions where subverted to the will and the will was subverted to the intellect. The arrival of original sin meant that this was inverted and we were enslaved to our lower faculties, our emotions, our bodily passions. Hope this helps. Ne Timeas.

[@a1parra]

@@liammccann8763 Thank you for explaining. Sometimes it’s hard to keep emotions in check. I am glad as years went by I have gotten better at doing this.

[@liammccann8763]

@F Jones Precision is found in the intellect, not the emotions.

[@MTR_06]

If something doesn’t feel right, that’s the precision of your gut letting you know something isn’t quite right, 🙏😊 The reason and precision spoken of, here, is about theology. I didn’t take it as drilling down to the bedrock of each individual’s daily experiences, for example, without instinct or emotion, we have no love in us, or righteous anger..things like that...rather, it is the precision that is, unfortunately, missing from what is now being put out by the church and leaving the faithful in both chaos and confusion.

[@a1parra]

@@MTR_06 thank you for the reply. It seems that the world we live now is so amplified in regards to human emotions.

[@ChristopherMarlowe]

At 1:17:00 Fr Ripperger says you can't throw out all of Vatican II because there are some things in there that have already been defined. To be clear, I am not a theologian, but this statement does not make sense to me. Suppose I wrote a document that had numerous heresies, but then I added some unquestionably orthodox statements. Now the document can't be thrown out? Fr. Hesse often spoke against the documents of Vatican II and called out the specific heresies. He also said that the documents contained orthodox statements that were "warmed over" dogma. I don't understand what would be lost by throwing out all the documents of Vatican II et seq. I think even Fr. Ripperber would admit they contain harmful ambiguities. What would be lost?

[@suededsusan]

I have a question related to this. What truth did Vatican 2 define/expound/ etc that was not already done? Increasingly, I’m thinking the safer way is to ignore V2 and follow the safe ones

[@ChristopherMarlowe]

@@suededsusan None. That was explicitly stated at the outset by Pope John XXIII and afterward by Pope Paul VI. Vatican II was a pastoral council. Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) stated: "The truth is that this particular Council defined no dogma at all, and deliberately chose to remain on a modest level, as a merely pastoral council; and yet many treat it as though it had made itself into a sort of 'superdogma' which takes away the importance of all the rest."

[@pikespeakaudio8898]

@@ChristopherMarlowe It is fallacious to state "Vatican II was a pastoral council" as though that had anything to do with the teaching office of the Church. To claim that "pastoral" therefore implies that it wasn't "dogmatic" fails in both logic and fact: - Logically it involves a category error for it is as absurd to oppose “pastoral” to “dogmatic” as to oppose “circular” to “yellow”. The incompatibility of the two qualities is entirely imaginary. “Pastoral” simply means “after the manner of a shepherd”. In Christian usage the metaphor of the shepherd representing the bishop or pope not only does not exclude the role of authoritative teaching but in fact primarily signifies that role, for the first duty of Christian pastors is to teach as the first duty of shepherds is to feed their sheep on wholesome pasture. There is therefore nothing un-pastoral about teaching religious truths infallibly. A “pastoral” council, if it teaches on faith and morals, is also doctrinal or dogmatic in character. -In plain fact two of the Council’s constitutions expressly describe themselves as “dogmatic” (viz. Lumen Gentium, the “dogmatic constitution on the Church” and Dei Verbum, the “dogmatic constitution on Divine Revelation”). So the claim that the Council gave no dogmatic teaching directly contradicts the Council itself. Moreover, Paul VI himself, expressly reaffirmed the fact that a pastoral role rather implies than excludes doctrinal teaching in his “motu proprio” Pastorale Munus of 30th November 1963 according to which “Christ Jesus linked the pastoral office to the duty of teaching…” (“Pastorale munus, cum quo Christus Iesus gravissima coniunxit officia docendi…”) - a statement which is entirely traditional.

[@ChristopherMarlowe]

@@pikespeakaudio8898 I am just repeating what the Popes said. See above. It was Cardinal Ratzinger, (later Pope Benedict XVI) who said: "The truth is that this particular Council defined NO DOGMA AT ALL, and deliberately chose to remain on a modest level, as A MERELY PASTORAL COUNCIL; " --> As you can see, Ratzinger/Pope Benedict recognizes the distinction between a pastoral council and a dogmatic council. Pope Paul VI made the same distinction between pastoral and dogmatic councils: "Differing from other Councils, this one was not directly dogmatic, but disciplinary and pastoral."- Pope Paul VI, August 6, 1975, General Audience" Paul VI similarly taught that the council had avoided dogmatic definitions: "There are those who ask what authority, what theological qualification, the Council intended to give to its teachings, knowing that it avoided issuing solemn dogmatic definitions backed by the Church's infallible teaching authority. The answer is known by those who remember the conciliar declaration of March 6, 1964, repeated on November 16, 1964. In view of the pastoral nature of the Council, IT AVOIDED proclaiming in an extraordinary manner ANY DOGMAS carrying the mark of infallibility.” (General Audience, December 1, 1966, published in the L'Osservatore Romano 1/21/1966)

[@m.proximus1930]

Why those years - 1100s - 1700s? We all realize why (because the theology of ppl like Rainer and Schillibeeckx is simply wrong on its face), but how can we *defend* those years being the time period, to the exclusion of the time before and and after, with more than "Fr. Ripperger said"?

[@eb4203]

[@pikespeakaudio8898]

I wished he had provided a citation for this, because none of the pontifical documents relating to the common consensus of theologians provides a set timeframe as far as I'm aware.

[@ryangrant8998]

Cardinal Franzelin explains it in On Divine Tradition, thesis 16. It is the connection of schools with their bishops and the magisterium, which was broken by revolutionary movements in the 18th and 19th century

[@joshscheibach2343]

5:54 .. well technically Pope Paul VI didn’t say nothing at all was infallibly declared at Vatican ii.. he said there was no extraordinary DOGMATIC pronouncements... not that there was no extraordinary DOCTRINAL pronouncements .. it’s debated by theologians that the sacramentality of the Episcopate was infallibly defined And other things as well . Just no new pronouncements on the level of Dogma ... and all ecumenical councils are extraordinary even if they only teach from the authentic ordinary magisterium, It’s still a extraordinary event even if they promulgate any extraordinary pronouncements.

[@te7270]

Unless rationally thought through, we can misinterpret experience. For instance it is how propaganda works, when they tell us what we are seeing and we don’t listen to our own rational thought process. Or a false apparition where people think they are healed because of some charlatan, but it is our own devotion, rosary, Confession, our sincere search for God. Logic and reasoning can lead us to the truth sooner than misinterpreted experience.
