The list of currently-used medicines not derived in one way or another from the tissue of murdered babies is probably very short. In order to certainly avoid this issue, it would require the effective refusal of all medical treatment. It would seem unjust to lay such a burden on those who are not responsible. Those who were martyred in the early centuries of the Church were faced with the dilemma of directly accepting and acknowledging a pagan divinity. This latter affair involved a far less remote responsibility than the taking of an end-product of a wicked medical system for which one bears little or no responsibility. This taking of medicine would be closer to being the equivalent of selling bread to Caesar, thus theoretically being remotely complicit in enabling the continuance of his worship of pagan gods or of demanding worship of himself. It was those Donetists who too strongly condemned the Christians who lacked the courage to opt for martyrdom who were condemned as heretics. Let's not beat ourselves around the head too much about this issue-we can rest assured that Higher Justice will beat those unrepentantly responsible for this wickedness about their heads, in due course.
An item I think very relevant to our discussion: https://orthosphere.wordpress.com/2...t-did-what-love-one-another-means/#more-28482 [Not the principle point of the author, but the first example of unworthy reception of the Eucharist, with the immediate consequence of enabling Satan to enter within].
Anyone else think there was something very suspicious about the HSE cyber"attack" that occurred last year? Personally think it was an inside job.
How are you, Sanctus? I think you're considerably overestimating the ability and intelligence of those who run the HSE. Frankly, they wouldn't organise a boozing session in a brewery. However, you might well be in possession of knowledge of which I'm unaware, in which case I'll have to grovel an apology!
To be honest I am not feeling great at the moment degaulle. Going through trials but trusting in God. More like a government inside job. Seemed convenient that it was in the middle of covid. Perhaps they wanted to create chaos in the health system to stop important appointments that were scheduled or other sinister reasons.we may not know about, etc Or leave those who were sick die such as in the care homes by messing up information, important appointment dates etc. More of the depopulation agenda.
What you say is possible. Then again, if it was their decided policy, it might have merely been undertaken to deflect from the criticism they were receiving or have been undertaken to serve as an excuse for future incompetency. It's probably a positive reflection of your character that you're not feeling great in these times. I think it was the late US Catholic novelist Walker Percy, also a trained and experienced medical doctor, who opined that if you weren't some bit depressed in these modern times, there was something wrong with you...or something to that effect!
Bought it shortly after release and read it. Very honest and true. A scathing critique of what is perceived as 'progress'.
I see the grand lodge in Dublin had a fire on New Years eve. https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2021/1231/1269356-masonic-hall-dublin/ I'm sure there will be plenty more fireworks and signs in 2022.
Check with Brian. He has been able to uncover truths about this issue. As I recall, it’s not as widespread as you are thinking, perhaps.
I attended the traditional Latin midnight Mass at Christmas. It was so beautiful, reverent and profound. The church was packed with all age groups. It was striking how many were under 30. I think the V2 Church is on its last legs. A new dawn is on the horizon
Recently read 'Trojan Horse in the City of God', by Dietrich von Hildebrand. He was quite emphatic that this 'New Church' was quite unsupported by the Council. It is Progressivism upon which he lays the blame, with a particular emphasis on the influence of Teilhard de Chardin upon many of the progressives in the Church at the time...ultimately, it amounts to a loss of Faith and a transfer of religiosity from the Transcendent, in which the progressives could not believe, to the world, with the result being a kind of Benthamist utilitarianism, closer to Marxism than to Christianity. This would certainly explain their obsession with replacing the reverent with the trivial, as illustrated by the video Padraig posted above, something never remotely proposed by the Council, according to von Hildebrand.
Von Hilldebrand describes it so clearly with surgical precision. Tigard was a wrecking ball. His ideas were rampant in the seminaries. Whole generations of priests were trained in this false philosophy. Fr Philip Wolfe FSSP called him the "wormwood" star that fell and poisoned the waters.
