“The Jeremiah Option” from Catholics in Exile

[@studybible]

I am a Korean priest. I have read Dr. Scott Hahn's book and listened to his lectures, and I was deeply moved. Even during my missionary work in Bolivia, I introduced anecdotes about Dr. Scott Hahn to the believers, and they particularly enjoyed the part explaining the Mass along with the Book of Revelation

[@jnkelley42]

I had left Christianity in my teens. Ran from God for years. In my late twenties I graduated college in TN and intended to stay in TN. Then I could not find a job. I had never had an issue finding employment and suddenly could not even get a job at a liquor store. I applied for one job in Vermont and was offered the job. To VT I moved and considered it like exile. Four years in I found a church and God. I now know why I am here. Gods ways are not my ways.

Dr. Hahn is right on! Back in the 80's we were worried then that the Cold War (Nuclear War) would 'end the world'. But by the early 90's, I 'unplugged' from the 'daily news', turned back, and focused on my Catholic faith - bought a home, got married, and started a family. Here now 40 years later I have a wonderful family, still strong in faith, a wonderful home/ranch/garden, and now even have GrandChildren! And Praise the Lord God who has gotten us thru multiple excruciatingly difficult trials and has given us many undeserved generous Gifts, of not the least A Strong Faith, along the way!! Trying times in this difficult world present an unparalleled opportunity to Rise to Heroic Levels of Virtue - remaining True to Christ and our Catholic Faith!!!

[@pop6997]

Sir, most serious Catholics I know would never become Atheist because the Vatican was blown up.....maybe there is one or two, but I imagine its not a seriously held notion for the vast majority. We would simply look around and see where is the Pope? If he is dead another will take his place as our visible sign of unity. My own Catechises taught me about the nature of the Church as the Body of Christ. Church militant, Church suffering & Church Triumphant - each member a part of one Body with Jesus Christ as it's invisible Head & each Pope through time as its visible head or 'Vicar of Christ'. Christ as head offers all Fathers their 'headship' of the family. Likewise our Spiritual Fathers act vicariously at every Mass in persona christi. The Pope, among many other charisms acts as Head of the Visible Church. I understand a fear to 'distinguish' Christ as the 'Head' of the Church & perhaps the risk involved in over emphasis on the role the Pope plays as 'Head'. However, both are true....so it isnt either or, it's both....and while I do get a hesitancy to say this without having the nuance involved. It is still what the Church teaches the role of the Holy Father to be. Am I entirely wrong? If so, I sincerely apologise...but I really don't think so. My fear is that a deemphasis on the role of the Holy Father as visible Head, with the keys and reducing this role somewhat carries great danger from other quarters. Is it not best to just say what the Church teaches and qualify it with the proper nuance? Thankyou Dr Hahn. I also want to say I think you are simply wonderful & I have almost ALL of your many books! I simply love my Ignatius Catholic Study Bible and am looking forward to the OT version. Thankyou for all your hard work! ❤

[@reja1309]

It seems to this Catholic that politics has so infused the Vatican and the hierarchy that I wonder if that group can truly hear the Holy Spirit over their own 'noise'.

You are absolutely correct. The Pope is the visible head of the Church. This was solemnly defined as a dogma in Pastor Aeternus 1:6, from the First Vatican Council.

Pope John the XXII did not teach heresy as the Pope, “from the chair,” I.e., ex cathedra. It was definitely a theological error, as confirmed by his critics. He did not teach this as part of his magisterium, nor was the doctrine you mention a doctrine until Pope John XXII ‘s successor made it doctrine. So technically not heresy at the time he even made the statement. He also was not obstinate against other theological opinions at the time. Please be more careful in your words because I will bet that everyone listening believes now that JohnXXII was a heretic and taught heresy in his magisterium and ex cathedra which is NOT possible given the promise of Jesus. A person can hold an heretical view (material or actual), even the Pope, but the Pope can NEVER teach heresy in his magisterium or ex cathedra. Saying so is absolutely against Catholic teaching.

“That apostolic primacy which the Roman Pontiff possesses as successor of Peter, the prince of the apostles, includes also the supreme power of teaching. This Holy See has always maintained this, the constant custom of the Church demonstrates it, and the ecumenical councils, particularly those in which East and West met in the union of faith and charity, have declared it. … Then there is the definition of the Council of Florence: ‘The Roman Pontiff is the true vicar of Christ, the HEAD of the whole Church and the father and teacher of all Christians; and to him was committed in blessed Peter, by our lord Jesus Christ, the full power of tending, ruling and governing the whole Church.’” Pastor Aeternus, Ch4. sec. 1-2 (caps lock mine) Please repent of this error, Dr. Hahn.
