Dr. Drolesky ping
Dr. Drolesky would be a poor commencement speaker choice, given the lack of fidelity and indulgence in pride he has displayed in recent years. Leading young people away from Christ's Holy Church is not something Catholic schools need to replace other undesirable speakers. There are certainly enough orthodox and faithful Catholics who would be better suited to the task than Dr. Drolesky, Mrs. Drolesky.

I had no idea Ryan is that bad. Poor Monterey.
I wish Dr. Drolesky would write more articles like this. It is an excellent description of the perils of collegiality. He says on point and the entire article justifies it's title which piqued my interest. So many times I look forward to an article based on the title and find it never delivers what was promised,this did,and I appreciate it. I was just thinking the same thoughts about the tide turning. I responded to that effect on another thread tonight.
Dr. Droleskey bump
of Protestantism and Freemasonry that helped to spawn the modern nation-state and thus most of the problems of modernity itself.
Biblically based "scripture only Christians" not only reject ecumenical orders that set a man above the Word of God(like a pope), they also reject freemasonary whose doctrines are much the same as Catholicism and are many times Satanic.
A must read ping.
"Tradition the path to order within the Church and thus the world."
Perhaps it is not as you say. Traditions never supplant the Word of God, many times they contradict and perert it. For instance, the scriptures say;
Mark 7
1. Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6. He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11. But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14. And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15. There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Again, I must say that the scriptures have authority over the Body of Christ and not any man who changes the Word of God.
7. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
It seems that many do this today.
"...Bishop Robert Vasa of Baker City, Oregon, came out to say what the Holy Father himself ultimately reaffirmed earlier this year: that there is never any circumstance in which it is permitted to withdraw food and water..."
Bishop Vasa was a priest in Bishop Bruskewitz's diocese.
So does Drolesky maintain (contra Ratzinger) that the Old Covenant is now void?
Bump for later
FYI.
