Let the wackos like National Catholic Reporter go into schism - which theyâve effectively already done.
You are aware that the NCR absolutly loves and reveres the current pope...and the Novus Ordo church as it exists today; hardly schismatic behavior...what they dissent from is the theology taught prior to 1964, as the Church itself did with its repudiation of those traditional values...
Iâm staying with the Church because Christ founded it and He doesnât fail.
If you had parsed properly, you’d have realized that by my statement, I do as well...but I reject the modernity that the Novus Ordo church has deliberately foisted on us, as it was a blatant attempt to remediate distinctions with dissenters from the preconciliar Church...
“You are aware that the NCR absolutly loves and reveres the current pope...”
Do they love him when he makes a pro-life statement? They don’t actually love. They simply love when he says something they agree with or can twist to sound like they agree.
“and the Novus Ordo church as it exists today; hardly schismatic behavior...”
More than 40 years ago the NCR was told to stop calling itself “Catholic” by the ordinary. They refused. Hardly schismatic behavior?
“what they dissent from is the theology taught prior to 1964, as the Church itself did with its repudiation of those traditional values...”
Actually, what they dissent from is reason and truth itself - not just about the Faith, but about many things. They are a schismatic publication.
“If you had parsed properly, youâd have realized that by my statement, I do as well...but I reject the modernity that the Novus Ordo church has deliberately foisted on us, as it was a blatant attempt to remediate distinctions with dissenters from the preconciliar Church..”
If “do as well” then stop referring to the “Novus Ordo church”. There’s just the Church. There is no “Novus Ordo church”. We can say that there are Catholics who are far from perfect (terrible, in fact) but we can’t logically say that there is another “church” that has replaced THE Church. That is a logical and theological impossibility. That’s how a schismatic would think, not a loyal Catholic.
