The Fred Martinez Report

Matthew 22:37-39 KJV Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Phil Lawler, a longtime Catholic journalist and news director for catholicculture.org,  writes that the Pope’s statement  that the right to private property has never been held inviolable in Christian tradition is a “flat contradiction” of Leo’s teaching on.

Restore-DC-Catholicism Pell And Neumayr - Their Suspicious Deaths

Mark Millward JANUARY 21, 2023 AT 7:10 PM There are only two Catholic websites that I visit everyday: Barnhardt.biz and FromRome.info. Ann has laid great store in Canon Law in determining where truth lies in the Munus / Ministerium distinction. If she is to be consistent, she ought to be pursuing the same route of Canon Law and juridical norms in the present interregnum, and be prepared to debate with all who present an at least plausible case. The editor of FromRome lays out what appear to be unarguable Canon Law and juridical facts in the above review which impress for their precision, anticipation of objections and painstaking elucidation of the hierarchy of right drawn from Canon Law, juridical custom and apostolic right. The editor’s words have the plain ring of truth. I am not a Canon lawyer, just a pew sitter with Myers Briggs personality type ESTJ, someone in other words who is by nature inclined to want to follow truth to its absolute logical conclusions, no matter where they ...

Dr. Edward Peters J.C.D., in  A Canon Lawyer’s Blog [22]  attests to the fact that the opinion that a heretic pope would remain in office until even a merely declaratory sentence would result in his loss of office has been entirely abandoned where he says: I know of no author coming after Wernz who disputes this analysis [of Wernz and Vidal]. (See, e.g., Ayrinhac, CONSTITUTION (1930) 33; Sipos, ENCHIRIDION (1954) 156; Regatillo, INSTITUTIONES I (1961) 299; Palazzini, DMC III (1966) 573; and Wrenn [23]  (2001) above.) As for the lack of detailed canonical examination of the  mechanics  for assessing possible papal heresy, Cocchi, COMMENTARIUM II/2 (1931) n. 155, ascribes it to the fact that law provides for common cases and adapts for rarer; may I say again, heretical popes are about as rare as rare can be and yet still be. In sum, and while additional important points could be offered on this matter,  in the view of modern canonists from Wernz to Wrenn...

Published in  American Historical Review  9, no. 2 (January 1904): 233–46. Ethical Values in History Circumstances deprive me of the honor of presiding over this meeting of the American Historical Association to which your kindly appreciation has called me, but at least I can fulfil the pleasant duty of addressing to you a few words on a topic which is of interest to all of us, whether students or writers of history. In this I do not pretend to instruct those whose opinions are, to say the least, fully as mature and worthy of consideration as my own, but merely to contribute to a discussion which will probably continue as long as men shall strive to bring the annals of the past to the knowledge of the present. One whose loss we al...

The Social Ramifications Of Sexual Ethics MARK WAUCK The reality behind both “right” and “left” liberalism is the Law of the Jungle, by which the powerful prevail and subject and exploit the weak—most of us. It has taken centuries for these views to take root, and even now there is resistance, but there can be little doubt that that resistance is at a low ebb. To give some idea of how low that ebb is, I’ll cite an address that was given by Joseph Ratzinger the day after Karol Wojtyła died. Most people considered it to be, in essence, Ratzinger’s “campaign speech” for the papacy. I really recommend the entire address to your attention, for what it tells about the intellectual bankruptcy of the West in its leading spiritual institution: Cardinal Ratzinger On Europe's Crisis of Culture As you will see, Ratzinger reflects on Europe’s “Crisis of Culture” while himself renouncing essentially the entire intellectual heritage of the West in favor of the Jansenist Blaise Pascal’s irrational...

Open in app  or  online The Social Ramifications Of Sexual Ethics MARK WAUCK JAN 2   CROSS-POST   In a very nice article at The Federalist today, Nathanael Blake uses an article by Nicholas Kristoff to launch into some reflections on the key connection between sexual ethics and the greater good—the human flourishing—of society. The subtitle gets to the core of what he’s saying: The rules provided by Christian sexual ethics protect the weak from the selfishness of the strong. It’s an essential part of loving one’s neighbor. I’ll skip over the part that refers specifically to Kristoff as basically a waste. The core part comes in the second half. In the course of his reflections Blake notes that the “ethos of sexual liberation”—at the very heart of Wokeness and the liberal worldview—derives from what he refers to as the view of human beings as “atomized individuals.” Thanks for reading Meaning In History!
