Lamont on Suarez & Company: McCarrick ...These things did not happen because of the law of the Church. Until November 27, 1983, the law in force in the Latin Church was the 1917 Code of Canon Law. Canon 2359 §2 of this code decreed that if clerics commit an offense against the sixth commandment of the Decalogue with minors under sixteen years of age, they are to be suspended, declared infamous, deprived of every office, benefice, dignity, or position that they may hold, and in the most grievous cases deposed...origins of this conception of authority and obedience

T. Lamont In the light of new revelations about sexual abuse in the Church, many Catholics are asking how the situation that these revelations have disclosed can possibly have come about. The first question that occurs, a question of long standing, is; why did bishops deal with sexual abusers by concealing their offences and moving them to new assignments, rather than by removing them from ministry? No sufficient answer has yet been given to this question. It has now been made more pointed by a further question; how did Theodore McCarrick get appointed as Archbishop of Washington and Cardinal, and even become a principal drafter of the American bishops’ policy on sexual abuse in 2002, when his own involvement in sexual abuse was widely known in clerical circles and had been made known to...

Lamont on who Suarez sees God as not as loving just Father but big boss who obeyed & gave us subjective "rights" landuage "will and freedom of man and God are by nature mutually exclusive – what God gains, man must lose" vs. Thomist Father who is just, good and Loving: 'God’s service is perfect freedom" : Modernist Suarez thought...needed to transform mere goodness into obligation...Thomas held that we obey both human and divine authority because it is good to do so...impossible in Suarez’s system...Obedience cannot be an implementation of the fundamental orientation of the will towards happiness, as it is for St. Thomas in the case of a good person who obeys as an act of justice. It must be an external imposition from some other will. Since rights consist in an entitlement to act freely within some sphere, obedience and rights become mutually exclusive – as do obedience and freedom, contrary to the idea that God’s service is perfect freedom3. We are in a universe where the will and freedom of man and God are by nature mutually exclusive – what God gains, man must lose...duty of obedience emerges – is solely based on conformity to the will of the superior"

, Fr. Ripperger offers advice on how to deal with members of the magisterium who teach error. He says that “...we must pray and do penance for him. If we see a bishop say things contrary to the faith, our first approach should not be to criticize him, but to pray and do penance for him.” (56) In this time of confusion let us turn from anger to prayer. Fr. Ripperger offers a sobering meditation: “When we stand before God, will we be able to adequately answer the question that Christ may pose to us: 'What did you do to help him?' Or 'What did you do to help the Church?'” (56) Therefore, we should pray for those who teach error, that they might turn away from their error to the truth.

Chad Ripperger, PhD Sensus Traditionis Press 58 Pages $9.95 Paperback; $8.95 ebook Fr. Ripperger begins his short yet concise book on the Magisterial authority of the Church by discussing Papal Infallibility, what it is, and what it is not. After giving the basic principles of papal infallibility, Fr. Ripperger turns to when popes have been in error and what that means for us. One of the examples he gives is that of Pope John XXII who taught that departed souls do not see the Beatific Vission until the Final Judgment. Of course, this position is not true. This was, however, the pope's personal opinion. Fr. Ripperger explains that “...these acts did not meet the conditions for infallibility and...

"Others who are open about this are men like John Zmirak (who openly denounces Church history, promotes Liberal Catholicism, basically states the Church’s enemies are right, and that “Catholicism minus the Enlightenment equals Inquisition”).[5] These Right-Modernists are also proud supporters of the Americanist error, which Cardinal Pie of Poitiers rightfully identified as a form of Modernism.[6] The Americanist error involves a Protestantization, Liberalization, and ultimate individualization of the Catholic faith, rendering it helpless in the face of the world.

"David Wemhoff’s work punched a hole in such efforts of the Right-Modernists with his text on Murray (which exposes John Courtney Murray not only as a heretic who had no influence on Dignitatis, but also exposed him as a CIA asset who was trying to help the US government subvert and “Americanize” the Church). Murray was a Modernist heretic to boot, who (like the Modernists) believed the Social Kingship of Christ was a mere “historical circumstance” that should be ignored.

Pope Leo XIII used Locke so was he a Modernist?: 1P5 - Against Right-Wing Modernism..."Right-Modernism, like the Left-Modernists, seek to fuse the Catholic faith with Enlightenment ideology. However, unlike the Left-Modernists, their champions are not Marx, Spinoza, and Kant, but instead Adam Smith, John Locke

https://onepeterfive.com/against-right-wing-modernism/ Against Right-Wing Modernism   Jackson Gold November 18, 2025 The Church is in the midst of a serious crisis, the crisis of Modernism. Modernism is a deadly and insidious heresy, but what is not often stated is how it arises. It is a fact that Modernism, like an evolving disease, has many forms. While Modernism has many components, it all boils down to trying to do the impossible, the fusing of the Catholic faith with the demonic ideologies of the so-called Enlightenment. The Enlightenment itself is what spawned classical Liberalism, a truly evil and insidious ideology that was given  infallible papal condemnations  in  Quanta Cura , the  Syllabus of Errors ,  Rerum Novarum ,  Immortale Dei ,  Mirari vos , and  Pascendi Dominici gregis . Modernism takes two forms, Left-Modernism and Right-Modernism. Left-Modernism is much more noticeable, and its proponents usually operate under the guise...
