EPISTOLA ~ EPISTLE ¤ Romanos XV:IV-XIII ~ Epistle ¤ Romans 15:4-13

Léctio Pauli Apóstolii ad Romanos. Fratres: quæcúmque scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrínam scripta sunt: ut per patiéntiam et consolatiónem Scripturárum, spem habeámus. Deus autem patiéntiæ et solátii det vobis idípsum sápere in altérutrum secúndum Jesum Christum: ut unánimes uno ore honorificétis Deum, et patrem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi. Propter quod suscípite invicem, sicut et Christus suscépit vos in honórem Dei. Dico enim Christum Jesum ministrum fuisse circumcisiónis propter veritátem Dei, ad con-firmándas promissiónes patrum. Gentes autem super misericórdia honoráre Deum, sicut Scriptum est: Proptérea confitébor tibi in géntibus Dómine, et nomini tuo cantábo. Et iterum dicit: Lætámini Gentes cum plebe ejus. Et iterum: Laudáte omnes Gentes Dóminum: et magnificáte eum omnes pópuli. Et rursus Isaías ait: Erit radix Jesse et qui exsúrget regere Gentes, in eum Gentes sperábunt. Deus autem spei répleat vos omni gáudio, et pace in credéndo: ut abundétis in spe, et virtute Spíritus Sancti.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Romans. Brethren, What things soever were written, were written for our learning: that, through patience and the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope. Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ: that with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honor of God. For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: but that the Gentiles are to glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to Thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to Thy name. And again He saith: Rejoice ye Gentiles, with His people. and again, praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and magnify Him, all ye people. And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse and He that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing: that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.

EVANGELIUM ~ GOSPEL - Blessed Apostle Saint Matthaeum XI:II-X ~ Matthew 11:2-10

† Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam. † I n illo témpore: Cum audisset Jóannes in vinculis ópera Christi, mittens duos de discípulis suis, ait illi: Tu es, qui ventúrus es, an álium exspectámus? Et respóndens Jesus ait illis: "Eúntes renuntiáte Joánni quæ audístis, et vidístis. Cæci vident, claudi ámbulant, leprósi mundántur, surdi áudiunt, mórtui resúrgunt, páuperes evangélizátur: et beátus est, qui non fúerit scandalizátus in Me. Illis autem abeúntibus, coepit Jesus dícere ad turbas de Joánne: "Quid exístis in desértum vidére? Arúndinem vento agitátem? Sed qui exístis vidére? Hóminem móllibus vestítum? Ecce qui móllibus vestiúntur, in dómibus regum sunt. Sed quis exístis vidére? Prophétam? Etiam dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam. Hic est enim de quo scriptum est: Ecce ego mitto angelum meum ante fáciem tuam, qui præparábit viam ante te."

† A reading from the Holy Gospel by Blessed Apostle Saint Luke † A t that time, when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to Him: Art thou He that art to come, or look we for another? And Jesus, making answer, said to them: "Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them: and blessed is he who shall not be scandalized in Me." And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: "What went you out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings. But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea I tell you and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my Angel before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee."

Homily For The Second Sunday of Advent
4 December 2005 Anno Domini

by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"

"Joy and Peace in Believing" ~ Romans 15:13

While, Jesus asked the multitudes in today's Gospel what they went into the desert to see in referring to the one who would make way the path of the Lord, and while Blessed Apostle Saint Paul expresses joy and peace for those who believe, Benedict XVI is living up to his Benedict Arnold traits for, along with his conciLIAR cohorts, he is once again betraying Christ and His Church by accommodating non-believers in their heresy and in his protestant-like decision to do away with Limbo.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Church has always taken Jesus Christ at His Word: "Go into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be condemned" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Mark 16:16). Blessed Apostle Saint Paul speaks to those who believe in the Epistle of the Mass on the Second Sunday of Advent: "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope and in the power of the Holy Spirit" ( Romans 15:13 ).

Joy and peace in believing? We are indeed in need of the power of the Holy Ghost and His gifts if we are to persevere in the faith handed down to us from the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin Mary and the martyrs and saints of former times. How the heretics rant and rave against the true faith!

Who shall be saved? "He who believes and is baptized," says Our Lord. The possibility of the salvation of the unbaptized under certain rare circumstances known only to God may be admitted, since the God Who gave the Law is not under the Law. But the gates of Heaven have now been opened wide, as Zenit News Service reports:

Whoever seeks peace and the good of the community with a pure conscience, and keeps alive the desire for the transcendent, will be saved even if he lacks biblical faith, says Benedict XVI. The Pope made this affirmation today at the general audience, commenting on a meditation written by St. Augustine (354-430)" (Nov.30, 2005. Zenit.org).

In Benedict's own words: "They have a spark of desire for the unknown, for the greatest, for the transcendent, for a genuine redemption. And he ( Saint Augustine ) says that among the persecutors, among the nonbelievers, there are people with this spark, with a kind of faith, of hope, in the measure that is possible for them in the circumstances in which they live. With this faith in an unknown reality, they are really on the way to the authentic Jerusalem, to Christ."

It should be noted that "nonbelievers" or "unbelievers" in current Vatican usage refers to those who have no belief at all in any kind of god. The representatives of the false religions who assembled in Assisi for John Paul II's prayer meeting in 1986, were all considered "believers". Now all one needs is a "desire for the transcendent." Clearly, the defined Church doctrine, "Outside the Church there is no salvation," is among the many casualties of Vatican II.

Pity the poor saints and martyrs, like Blessed Apostle Saint Andrew, crucified on an x-shaped cross, and Saint Francis Xavier, who preached the Gospel in India and Japan, and died on the island of Sancian off the coast of China. They sacrificed themselves for the sake of bringing the Gospel - and Baptism - to the pagans, believing that they would be lost without the true faith. In the Epistle which is read on both their feasts, which occurred this past week, we hear these words: "Faith then depends on hearing, and hearing on the word of Christ" ( Romans 10:14;17 ).

To further perplex and confuse the faithful, it is reported now that Benedict will soon drop the notion of Limbo from official Catholic doctrine, as we hear in this report from Rome:

"Limbo has long been held to be the place where the souls of children go if they die before they can be baptized. However, a 30-strong international commission of theologians summoned by the late John Paul II last year to come up with a 'more coherent and illuminating' doctrine in tune with the modern age is to present its findings to Pope Benedict XVI on Friday (December 2, 2005).

"Vatican sources said yesterday that the commission would recommend that Limbo be replaced by the more 'compassionate' doctrine that all children who die do so 'in the hope of eternal salvation'.

"There is little doubt that the Pope will agree. As Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger he presided over the commission's first sessions. He is on record as saying that Limbo has no place in modern Catholicism. In 1984, he told Vittorio Messori, the Catholic author, that Limbo had 'never been a definitive truth of the faith'. He said: 'Personally, I would let it drop, since it has always been only a theological hypothesis.' The commission is currently chaired by Archbishop William Levada of the United States, appointed by the Pope in May to be his successor as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" ( Richard Owen, "Limbo consigned to history books," November 30, 2005, timesonline.co.uk ).

Fr. Thomas Williams, interviewed from Rome on NBC's Today Show, admitted that the question remains, "What's the use of being baptized, if the same fate awaits those who are baptized and those who are not?" So we just leave the unbaptized children to the mercy of God, since "He will know what to do with them." But the new policy of Benedict XVI towards Limbo - "Let it drop" - goes further than that. Limbo will be "consigned to the history books."

Saint Thomas expresses the widely accepted teaching of the Catholic Church concerning Limbo ( In II Sent., dist. XXXIII, Q. ii, a. 5 ):

Saint Augustine, may have speculated about the fate of the unbaptized, but here he speaks clearly:

"It is an excellent thing that the Punic Christians call Baptism itself nothing else but salvation, and the Sacrament of Christ's Body nothing else but life. Whence does this derive, except from an ancient and, as I suppose, apostolic tradition, by which the Churches of Christ, hold inherently that without Baptism and participation at the table of the Lord it is impossible for any man to attain either to the kingdom of God or to salvation and life eternal? This is the witness of Scripture too" ( "Forgiveness and the Just Deserts of sins, and the Baptism of Infants, A.D. 412 ).

And more clearly still:

"A man cannot have salvation, except in the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church he can have everything except salvation. He can have honor, he can have Sacraments, he can sing alleluia, he can answer amen, he can possess the gospel, he can have and preach faith in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; but never except in the Catholic Church will he be able to find salvation" ( Discourse to the Church at Caesarea, A.D. 418 ).

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope and in the power of the Holy Spirit" ( Romans 15:13 ). †

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PREFACE OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancta, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo denim de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce dicentes: SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
