The fact that it has misappropriated by one group or another is no reason to condemn the term, in general.
The object of the sedevacantist writer who penned this article is to ridicule certain terms that are used more often in the last 30 years. Most all of the ridicule is silly, such as poking at the term "process", which is a perfectly acceptable term, and is used extensively in business. I don't hear it used that much in Church circles.
Like all trad threads, the purpose of this one is ridicule.
We see the Pope ridiculed, Vatican II ridiculed, Cardinal Ratzinger ridiculed...nobody alive who says the Mass of Paul VI or works in the Church is exempt from the petty, school-girl tee-heeing of the trads.
The more you defend it, the more of it you will get.
Get what? Is that some sort of threat?
You can cry us a modernist river. One thing for is for sure; YOU have done more for the traditionalist presence in FR than any other poster I can think of.
Please do keep threatening, stalking, inflaming and showing everyone who browses these threads exactly the "help" that the modern church is employing these days.
You've been very useful... keep up the good work.
Process was a perfectly acceptable term until A.N. Whitehead got a hold of it. His peculiar philosophy was a throwback to Heraclitus IMHO, and Reality was not substantial(Being) but was flux(Becoming). Therefore, temporal things were real rather than eternal things. His philosophy of course influenced theology (which is yet another way modernists have put the cart before the horse), most notably in Catholic circles in the works of Teilhard de Chardin.
The bottom line is that God EVOLVES. Contrast that to St. Thomas' truism that the immutability of God is His strength. Or the Scriptural text that asserts that God is the same from age to age. In practice, process theology attempts to keep us preoccupied with ever emerging novelties rather than keeping focused on the eternal unchanging Word.
We interpret rather than understand God's Word. We have come 180 degrees from the scholastics and have made theology the handmaiden of the various and sundry modern and "post-modern" philosophies.
