A Comment Received

This is a comment I received on the Return to Tradition video "Radical Theologian Declares Catholicism Is False On Eve Of Synod".

The first thing that jumps out is that the theologian obviously has not read the Gospels or the other books of the bible. Her claims that Christ did not institute a Church, or a intend a hierarchy, and that He only wanted to preach a general guide for living, and that He is not God can be disposed of easily by anyone who has even passing familiarity with the stories from sacred scripture.

Is she a communist? Perhaps in a manner of speaking, but certainly not in the robust sense of a Lenin or a Trotsky. It's hard to imagine the old school Reds stumping for such a superfluous entity as a Church without belief. She's just a typical government scrounger hoping the publicly funded university where she works will continue to pay for a pointless "theology" chair and that the Church will supplement that income with a generous portion of its endowment. If we really went hammer and sickle, she'd be categorized as a bourgeois parasite and consigned to a salt mine to (attempt) some useful work. She wouldn't even make it to the work camp under a Pol Pot.

But Anthony P Stine is right that it's political, and that it's coming from the top. The Vatican is pushing to be the U.N.'s NGO of choice. This would virtually be like the state religion of the international administrative state. To do this, the Church must merge with the larger and older Protestant denominations, like the Anglican Church and the national Lutheran confessions. If their lady-clerics pray for anything, they are probably praying that female ordination gets through the Synod on Synodal Synergism. That will leave only the Muslims. Can they be induced to take the deal? We'll see. How persuasive was the Pope in Singapore?

It certainly illustrates why Traditionalists are the only ones who don't get a ticket to the dance. Traditionalists stand in the way of harmonizing the Church's doctrine with the internationalist agenda that's been in vogue in the West since 1945. And as the theologian's sinecure shows, Traditionalists are standing in the way of a lot of people's dreams of a lot of easy lucre. It's ironic that the only story the theologian knows is the one about the Temple money changers.
