Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the First Week of Lent Lectionary: 224The Saint of the day is Saint Dominic SavioSaint Dominic Savio's Story So many holy persons seem to die young. Among them was Dominic Savio, the patron of choirboys. Born into a peasant family at Riva, Italy, young Dominic joined Saint John Bosco as a student at the Oratory in Turin at the age of 12. He impressed Don Bosco with his desire to be a priest and to help him in his work with neglected boys. A peacemaker and an organizer, young Dominic founded a group he called the Company of the Immaculate Conception which, besides being devotional, aided John Bosco with the boys and with manual work. All the members save one, Dominic, would, in 1859, join Don Bosco in the beginnings of his Salesian congregation. By that time, Dominic had been called home to heaven. As a youth, Dominic spent hours rapt in prayer. His raptures he called “my distractions.” Even in play, he said that at times, “It seems heaven is opening just above me. I am afraid I may say or do something that will make the other boys laugh.” Dominic would say, “I can't do big things. But I want all I do, even the smallest thing, to be for the greater glory of God.” Dominic's health, always frail, led to lung problems and he was sent home to recuperate. As was the custom of the day, he was bled in the thought that this would help, but it only worsened his condition. He died on March 9, 1857, after receiving the Last Sacraments. Saint John Bosco himself wrote the account of his life. Some thought that Dominic was too young to be considered a saint. Saint Pius X declared that just the opposite was true, and went ahead with his cause. Dominic was canonized in 1954. His liturgical feast is celebrated on March 9. Reflection Like many a youngster, Dominic was painfully aware that he was different from his peers. He tried to keep his piety from his friends lest he have to endure their laughter. Even after his death, his youth marked him as a misfit among the saints and some argued that he was too young to be canonized. Pope Pius X wisely disagreed. For no one is too young—or too old or too anything else—to achieve the holiness to which we all are called.

Jesus Tells Us: The First Will Be Last and the Last Will be First. What this Means for Our Own Spirituality! In the Homily, the priest stated he went to Philadelphia, PA for the first time. Being from Africa, and residing on Long Island, it was an opportunity to visit another state. One of the activities of sight-seeing was to take in his first live baseball game. He had watched it on TV but was not completely familiar with all the rules. He stated while not knowing all the rules, he did enjoy himself. One observation, which he enjoyed, was the enjoyment when one team or the other did something good. The crowd roared with approvement. When the other team scored, one set of fans would be joyful and loud. The other set would be disappointed, and their joy would decrease. And so, it went. One group was joyful, and the other group was sorrowful, and vice versa. t was a fun experience and a good backdrop to today's Gospel. Jesus Teaches A Lesson God's justice is not human's justice. God's ways are not the ways of humans. In the Gospel we hear about the parable of the landowner. In the parable the landowner hires people for his field. Later at nine, noon, three and five PM, he goes out to the marketplace. The landowner is busy throughout the day, looking for workers. The landowner does not send other people to look for the workers. He does it. What might be missed in a quick read of this Gospel is that the landowner does not simply hire workers. He wants to establish a relationship with them. He wants to talk with them and meet them. How do we know this? Listen more to this Homily. Jesus came down from heaven as the Mystery of the Incarnation tells us in scripture. The first thing Jesus wants from us is to establish a relationship with Him. He wants us to encounter Him. After doing so, He wants us to work for Him . . . to serve Him. The landowner could have avoided the first group's disappointment, simply by changing the order of receiving payment. But the landowner wanted to teach all a lesson. Hear what this lesson is and the impact on our Spiritual Journey. Listen to: Jesus Tells Us: The First Will Be Last and the Last Will be First. What this Means for Our Own Spirituality In the Homily we also hear about a Queen of All Hearts' Member: St. Pope Pius X. ------------------------- Image: Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard: Dutch Painter: Rembrandt: 1637 ------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew: 20: 1-16 First Reading: EZ 34: 1-11

21st August, 2024 – Dive into the inspiring life of Pope Pius X, a humble man of deep faith who dedicated his papacy to restoring all things in Christ. Known for his love for the poor, his commitment to religious education, and his deep devotion to the Eucharist, Pope Pius X's legacy continues to touch […] The post E157 | Saint of the Week – Sabrina McKiernan – Saint of the Week: Pope Pius X, The Pope of the Eucharist appeared first on Radio Maria Ireland.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, July 16th, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, also known as the feast of the Brown Scapular. Mount Carmel is a mountain in Galilee where the prophet Elijah defended the purity of Israel's faith in the living God. In the 13th century, hermits and monks began living and praying on the mountain. They later founded the Carmelite order devoted to the contemplative life under the patronage of Mary, the holy Mother of God. They venerated the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Mount Carmel, from which the name Carmelite was derived. On July 16, 1251, the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Simon Stock, an Englishman who was the order's superior. Mary gave him the brown scapular and promised her protection to all those who wore the brown habit. The scapular was the special mark of her maternal love. Pope Pius X decreed in the early 20th century that the Blessed Virgin's blessing would extend to all who wear the Our Lady of Mount Carmel scapular. The scapular is common to many religious Orders, but it is a special feature of the Carmelites. It's important to note that the Brown Scapular is a sacramental approved by the Church as a sign of one's decision to follow Jesus, as did Mary, the perfect model of all the disciples of Christ. It's not an automatic guarantee of salvation nor a magical charm. Sacramentals prepare us to receive grace if we are in the right disposition. Pope John Paul II has worn the scapular for a long time. He said: "Therefore two truths are evoked by the sign of the Scapular: on the one hand, the constant protection of the Blessed Virgin, not only on life's journey, but also at the moment of passing into the fullness of eternal glory; on the other, the awareness that devotion to her cannot be limited to prayers and tributes in her honor on certain occasions, but must become a "habit", that is, a permanent orientation of one's own Christian conduct, woven of prayer and interior life, through frequent reception of the sacraments and the concrete practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. In this way the Scapular becomes a sign of the "covenant" and reciprocal communion between Mary and the faithful: indeed, it concretely translates the gift of his Mother, which Jesus gave on the Cross to John and, through him, to all of us, and the entrustment of the beloved Apostle and of us to her, who became our spiritual Mother." Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! • ⁠July 16, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

WALKING WITH THE SAINTS l FEAST OF ST. JOSEPHINE BAKHITA, PATRON SAINT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING l FEBRUARY 8 “Suffering is an instrument of transformation and sanctity.” These words are fittingly applied to our saint for today, St. Josephine Bakhita, who experienced a lot of sufferings but accepted them all in patience and humility. Josephine came from a respected family in Dafur, now in western Sudan. Born in a large family with three brothers and three sisters around 1869, she lived a happy and carefree life. In 1877, however, when she was about 8 years old, she was kidnapped by Arab slave traders. She was chained, made to walk 960 kilometers to El Obeid and was sold twice before reaching the place. In a course of twelve years she was sold three more times and was forced to accept the Muslim religion. Her fourth owner was a Turkish general whose wife and children maltreated and wounded her. She said that the most terrifying experience she had was, when together with other slaves, she received the tattoes. She was sliced on her breast, belly and right arm. In 1883, her Turkish master sold her to an Italian Vice Consul to Khartuom, Sudan, who gave her to his friend Augusto Michieli.  She was brought to their family villa in Veneto, 25 kilometers west of Venice, and lived there for three years as nanny to his daughter; and the new family treated her kindly. When the Michieli's wife went to Sudan for their business affairs, she left Josephine and her daughter for a while in the convent of the Canossians. Upon her return to take her daughter, Josephine refused to go with them. Her teachers contacted the Patriarch of Venice who ruled out that since slavery is unconstitutional in Italy, Josephine can be legally free from her master. She therefore remained with the Sisters and on January 9, 1890, she was baptized, confirmed and received Holy Communion from Archbishop Giuseppe Sarto, future Pope Pius X. According to her story, she forgot her real name due to her trauma and was given the name Bakhita, Arabic for fortunate. Josephine joined the Sisters at the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa to become a nun. She entered the novitiate on December 7, 1893 and, took her first vows on December 8, 1896. In 1902, she was assigned to the convent at Schio, in the Italian province of Vicenza. During her 42 years there, she worked as cook, sacristan, portress and was in frequent contact with the people. The Canossian Sisters noticed the special charisma of St. Josephine, so she was also assigned to visit the communities of the Sisters and to prepare young Sisters for work in Africa. A strong love for the mission animated her whole life. She was described as one “whose mind was always on God, and her heart in African mission.” The people of Vicenza called her “Sor Moretta” (little black sister) or “Madre Moretta” (black mother). In 1931, her life story entitled Storia Meravigliosa, written by Ida Zanolini was published and it made her famous throughout Italy. During her old age, she used a wheelchair and her life was marked with illness and pains but she remained cheerful. When asked about her kidnappers, she said she would kiss their feet because through them she was blessed with many graces.  Her last words before dying were “Our Lady! Our Lady.” It was February 8, 1947. During the three days that her body was in repose, thousands of people came to pay their respect. Later, her remains were transferred to the Church of the Holy Family of the Canossians of Schio in 1969. She was beatified on May 17, 1992 and canonized on October 1, 2000.  Virtue: faith, humility, innocence, kindness, patience, forgiveness, long-suffering and charity         Prayer: “O St. Bakhita, assist all those who are trapped in a state of slavery and give comfort to survivors of captivity. Let them look to you as an example of hope and faith.

Imagine What Heaven Sees When Suddenly a Pure Heart Appears on Earth: Feast of the Immaculate Conception Explained There is something about beauty that catches our attention. There is also something about a light in a dimly lit area that catches our attention. To understand the mystery before us today . . . the Immaculate Conception . . . we do well to recall these common experiences. Hear a wonderful and personal story about an encounter with Our Lady during a trip to France by several members of The Association of Mary, Queen of All Hearts. As the description unfolds, image yourself also in attendance before Our Lady. Heaven Views Our Lady Imagine the view of our world from heaven. The view shows all the chosen, that would be all of us, among a partial beauty found within the world. However, the view also shows a world saddled with darkness, disorder and sin. A world originally made for beauty, but because of mankind's sin, falls short. Imagine also, as if out of nowhere, suddenly the view changes. Suddenly there is a bright and perfect heart. No guilt. Stainless. Pure. No wickedness. Simply pure goodness. Suddenly shining brightly in a dim world. Imagine looking upon the world to suddenly see the coming of that one. Imagine What Heaven Sees When Suddenly a Pure Heart Appears on Earth. Listen to what we celebrate on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Listen to this Meditation Media. -------- The Image: The Immaculate Conception A venerated Marian image of the Immaculate Conception, Pontifically crowned by the decree of Pope Pius X in 1905. Pope Pius X was not only a saint, a pope, but was deeply impacted by St. Louis de Montfort's Spirituality. He is also a member of The Association of Mary, Queen of All Hearts.

Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of St. Gerard Majella, Patron Saint of all Mothers | October 16     Why a young lay brother is principally proclaimed patron of mothers, expectant mothers and childbirth is a real puzzle. Why not a female saint, but the life story of our saint today, St. Gerard Majella will tell us why. Gerard, the youngest son of five children, was born in Muro, southern Italy on April 6, 1726. Being frail, he was immediately taken to the church for Baptism after his birth. He grew up to be a very prayerful boy and even when he was just five, he would pray daily in a small chapel near his home. Often, he would bring home a loaf of bread. Asked where the bread came from, he would say that “a most beautiful boy” gave it to him. When his sister secretly followed him to the chapel one day, she saw him praying before the statue of Mary holding the Child Jesus. After a short while, Jesus went down and played with Gerard, then gave him a loaf of bread and sent him home. When Gerard was twelve years old his father, who was a tailor, died and to help the family, his mother sent him to his uncle so as to teach him the work of his father. Though the foreman was abusive, Gerard kept silent but when his uncle knew about it he was told to  resign.  Then, he became a houseboy in the Bishop's house. When the Bishop died, Gerard tried to work on his own and the money he earned he gave half to his mother, gave some to the poor and offered Masses for the souls in Purgatory. He entered the Capuchin Order two times but he did not persevere due to his poor health. In 1749, he joined the Redemptorists and after three years he became a lay brother. He professed the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and stayed close with the poor. He worked in the community as a gardener, sacristan, infirmarian, tailor, porter, cook, carpenter and foreman on a building construction. He was often called to minister to the sick. And he graciously accepted any call by saying he was available to “do the will of God.” His charity, service, obedience, prayerful life, and penances made him a perfect model for lay brothers.  At 27, he was falsely accused by a girl, saying he was the father of the child she was carrying. The superior general, St. Alphonsus, reprimanded him, denied him the privilege of receiving Holy Communion and prohibited him from having contact with outsiders. Gerard bore with patience this calumny and doubled his penances and prayer. But when the girl got seriously ill and no remedy was available to heal her, she retracted and wrote St. Alphonsus that she had lied. Although he was vindicated, Gerard did not show any self-complacency. He just thanked God for saving him from such a terrible trial. The life of Gerard was replete with miraculous events. He often fell into ecstasy while in prayer. He had also the gift of levitation and bi-location. His apostolate for mothers began when the handkerchief he left in a certain house was afterwards instrumental in curing a woman giving birth. Gerard was always frail in health. In 1755, he had a strong hemorrhage but his superior commanded him to get up. He got up and was well for a month, yet he knew he was dying. He died in the morning of October 15, 1755 at 29 years old. He was beatified on January 29,1895 by Pope Leo XIII and was canonized on December 11, 1904 by Pope Pius X.

FAMILY BIBLE STUDY SERIES ON THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Today's episode is all about humility – what St. Matthew, Pope Pius X and a priest Steve highly respects have to say about it.

Open Forum – Questions Covered: 6:14 – What do you make of the statement in 1 Maccabee 12:21 and it's accuracy? Could the Greek demonym Danaans be for members of the tribe of Dan, so that some Greeks were once Jews? 14:49 – I understand a common answer on Catholic Answers is that the era of “public revelation” ended with the death of the Apostle John. Any further revelation is considered “private” and not binding to the faithful. My question is, “Why?” Wouldn't the era public revelation have ended with the Ascension of Christ? If not – and original apostles could add to public revelation, then why not their disciples, and the disciples of their disciples, etc.? 20:06 – I have several follow-up questions to Michael's question: In Lamentabili Sane, Pope Pius X condemned the following proposition (#21): “Revelation, constituting the object of the Catholic faith, was not complete with the Apostles.” Was there any magisterial precedence for this condemnation? After the publication of Lamentabili Sane, many theologians restated the condemned proposition as a positive statement: “Revelation was completed with the death of the last apostle.” But in more recent years, some theologians are stepping back from that positive statement. If Public Revelation did not end with the death of the last apostle, is there a definite time, event, or condition which closed the era of Revelation? Could you walk us through the steps to show how “Revelation was completed with the death of the last apostle” is not infallible teaching, if that is the case? Thanks in advance! 28:56 – Could the intro to the gospel of John be discussing the pre-incarnate Christ? I've heard this as an opinion held by some. Note that the verses talk about Jesus coming into his own before in verses 10 through 13, before announcing he became flesh in Verse 14. Is this a plausible interpretation? Did any of the fathers hold it? 36:37 – The book of Jonah: history or parable? 42:30 – When Jesus performed various miracles in the gospels, why did He tell the recipients not to tell anyone what He had done? Why did He want His miraculous deeds to be kept secret? 47:23 – Could God create a rock too heavy for him to lift? 50:15 – When the stone was rolled back from the tomb, what became of the cord and seal? …

In 1909 at Notre Dame she was made saint by Pope Pius X and became a patron of freedom, France an feminism.

Bad ideas are like the many-headed hydra. When one head is cut off, two more spring up. Just when Arianism is getting cured, Nestorianism boils over, and when that pimple is taken care of, Monophysitism appears on the body of Christ, and when the ointment for that is applied, a side effect called Monothelitism develops. And even after resolving these things, they come back, but at least the Church has a cure on the shelf for each of these conditions. They come back in odd and interesting ways, and some heresies like Arianism or sola scriptura take many centuries to fade out. Sorry, did I say fade out? They never fully disappear. Arianism was addressed in 325 at the Council of Nicaea, and a modern version of it is visible in humanism. Sola scriptura was addressed in the Council of Trent in the 1500s, yet the circular logic of that idea keeps every dog chasing its tail. Today, a person could spend every waking minute refuting heresies because it's all over in the language of believers and non-believers. Arguing over these errors make little impact, since those who openly reject official Church teaching have adopted their own authority, either in scriptural interpretations, or in their own mind. The old errors are so commonly held and pronounced, that I can't listen to modern music for an hour without recognizing at least one heresy. I think Luke Bryan is the Pelagius of Country Music, but he is just one of many. A good series would be doing a close-reading of errors in Luke Bryan's greatest hits, because you can find so many heresies passed off as wisdom or truth in his lyrics. It's not just him, so I don't mean to single him out. But we live in an age of various common errors, most commonly, Protestantism, Gnosticism and Pelagianism, which are big words, but with basic problems when we examine them as practiced in the real world. This is why the word “Christian” is so smashed up, misused, and abused that it now looks like the car in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles at the end of the movie. If you think this is false, check out /r/Christianity on reddit.com. It is chaos. That subreddit should be changed to /r/tohu-wa-bohu, which is the Hebrew word for chaos before God created order in the universe. Pope Pius X famously called modernism “the synthesis of all heresies,” and the Protestants posting on social media does us the favor of proving it beyond the shadow of a doubt. You could play Heresy Bingo and have a winner before finishing the first post's comment section. Reddit's generic /r/Christianity feed is like a slop bucket. It's remarkable to read comments there from self-professed Christians, because few seem aware of the first fifteen centuries after Christ's death, and it's not clear they realize that there was a Church operating before the year 2020. So there are many bizarre versions of Christianity floating around, and I used to think that nothing could outdo the “snakes and orgies” crowd that 60 Minutes did a show on many years ago, but I've been proved wrong repeatedly in recent years, as the heresies have erupted in denominations that once seemed to have a reasonable grip on doctrine. But churches like the ELCA and Methodists and even the “cool” Catholic churches have been caught up in the spirit of the times, and thus they will die like dandelions when the autumn of this culture comes, which is always sooner than we think. You cannot get to liturgies featuring drag queens or celebrating the worst sin of Pride without first abandoning Christ and the faith of the apostles. However, the long labor of creating and carrying the church through the gauntlet of time has happened, and for the Church that sticks to those teachings, it will outlast this current chaotic summer, and in the autumn and into winter, the redwood will outlast them all once again and arrive in spring stronger still. So while this makes a lot of people feel worried and lost, or scared that the Catholic Church will fall into error, it should actually give much hope. Because the only Church that will last is the one which remains in full orthodoxy with Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture. The only Church that is interesting or compelling is the one that keeps the Deposit of Faith and rejects all doctrinal errors from 33 A.D. until today, because it is the only Church led by the Holy Spirit. When the breathless apostles first came to Jesus and reported error being used in Jesus' name, he said, “It's ok.” Well, he actually said:John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. Whoever is not against us is for us. For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward. (Mark 9:38-41)To break that down a bit, Jesus was telling the apostles that the others may cast out demons in Jesus' name. That's wonderful. He didn't say, “Go out and club them until they stop.” The Church has occasionally errored in that. But Jesus also didn't say, “Terrific, bring in these outsiders as the new teachers.” They did not become apostles. Jesus didn't adapt his teaching to the outsiders. The thing about Jesus is that you don't get to tell him what to do (unless you are Mary), you come to him on his terms and surrender to him. Pride need not apply. Jesus didn't declare one of these other healers to be “the rock” on which he founded his church. He didn't make these others the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. He allowed other interpretations, but he didn't say they were correct. All directions and corrections are provided to the apostles, which is why they were the chosen ones and the leaders. Even when I was fallen away and considered myself atheist, I knew that if I ever returned it would only be to the Catholic Church (with Greek Orthodoxy as a dark horse in that race), because the only Church that made sense historically, logically, physically, or spiritually was the one that Jesus founded on the rock of Peter, because it was the only one that had fought and outlasted the intellectual, physical, and spiritual march of empires and ideas, and it was clearly different from all other Johnny-come-lately denominations. The non-Catholic denominations may heal people and cast out demons, and that is truly wonderful, but they are wildly prone to poor theology, teaching, and lack the all-important taproot of Tradition to the person of Jesus himself. The original, the real deal, actually still exists if you look for it. I was quite surprised to find holy people still striving for holiness. It may have been the biggest shock of my life when I returned. The first time I saw a grown man kneel for communion and receive it like his life depended on it, I knew I'd been missing the point. When I started meeting with people that studied and strived for holiness, I realized that the lukewarm representations that I had held as standard was a very low standard indeed. Like General Motors, modern Christianity built a lot of models that didn't last. We had spinoffs of spinoffs so that most of those claiming the label “Christian” today would confuse the heck out of Peter, Paul and the apostles. Dostoyevsky famously wrote in the Grand Inquisitor that if Jesus came back to life, the Catholic Church would kill him again to retain its power. But as the Church lacks the power today that Dostoyevsky imagined, the story has not aged well, despite being a terrific read. It's more likely that if Jesus returned as Dostoyevsky imagined (which didn't match anything that Jesus actually said), Jesus would see that most of Christianity outside of the Catholic Church has turned into Imagination Land from Disney's movie Inside Out, starring Bing Bong, the pink elephant, as the high priest. Fortunately, the original model is still in storage and is ready to roll. It has some dents in it, for sure, but it runs fine and those scratches can be repaired. The apostolic Church, the body of Christ, that has had plenty of fallen leaders and brokenness over the years, but the heart is alive. The deposit of faith remains, and as long as the head is Christ, it cannot bless sin, because he did not bless sin. He said to “Go and sin no more.” The faithful cannot elevate the self or feelings in replacement of God. The denial of sin is a no-go in the driver's manual on how to go to heaven. Embracing orthodox belief is how we answer the question, “What is truth?” It is also how communities and individuals get restored to health. From the Body of Christ, life springs forth, age after age. We will not find salvation in heresy any more than we will in our youth sports teams or in a Tinder tryst or in an online mob or in our endless entertainment options. Restoration and the path to salvation will come back from where it began, through the Real Presence in the Eucharist, in gatherings of prayer, in speakers witnessing their conversion stories, in Bible studies, in adoration chapels, in Mass, in retreats, in recovery meetings, and anything that forges community away from the false gods propped up by modernism. To be awakened, we need a massive Ezra moment of deprogramming and teaching, where someone breaks open the scrolls to remind the lost people of a past they know nothing about. In Nehemiah, the people hear the word and understand, and know their sins, and know how they fell into the state of sin, little by little, by departing from orthodoxy. Ezra opened the scroll so that all the people might see it, for he was standing higher than any of the people. When he opened it, all the people stood. Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people, their hands raised high, answered, “Amen, amen!” Then they knelt down and bowed before the LORD, their faces to the ground. (Neh 8:5-6)When the people bow their faces to the ground, they have surrendered. But we have not done so yet. We are still in full competition, both with one another, and even more so with God. And this is what every heresy in history does: it competes with God. Most heresies, from Simon Magus to Nestorius to Henry VIII, had a person with a large ego, often a king, who wanted to hammer the Church into his image and likeness, instead of making the Body of Christ in the image and likeness of God. How are we going to solve this competition problem? How can a culture built on competition, capitalism, winning, and getting whatever we want possibly break that addiction? How can we possibly turn away from serving our desires? That's the easy part. You win that game by not playing. You win in the same way Jesus won it the first time. You win by living in the culture while still being set apart from it. You win by being “called out” of the culture. You go to the desert. You pray, fast, and help the poor, like Jesus. You leave the place of idolatry, like Abraham. You exit the corruption, like St. Anthony to the desert. Like St. Benedict, you reset, apart from the world in the wilderness. Like St. Cyprian, like St. Augustine, like St. Ignatius, like St. Francis, like St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross - you swim against the current, because the current is taking you the wrong way. You reset and then re-enter the fray, washed anew in the blood of Christ.You win by accepting this sinful world as it is, and while still living in that world, but not being a player in its game. You win by entering into the suffering of others, with love, not affirming their sin, but by witnessing another way. Stop honoring and envying what other people hold as worthwhile. Money, houses, luxuries, sex, entertainment, food, alcohol, cars, boats, drugs, vacations. Stop wanting what the world wants. The entire problem is that you want the wrong things, and this is what leads to every error. How do you step out of this culture? How do you stop wanting garbage in favor of the Bread of Life? We follow the advice of the Truth himself. Jesus said, “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off…And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.” (Mk 9:42-47) The good news for us about this brutal metaphor is that we have something we can rid ourselves of without actual amputation. What causes our sin in most cases today is what sits between our hands and our eyes. The phone. Our culture is the phone, and envy, lust, pride, sloth, greed, and wrath all reach out to your throat through that device. We can cut off the source of at least half of our most common ways of straying with not a single drop of blood spilled. But few of us will choose this, because hugging our sin is the easier path. Narcissus dies by staring into the mirror, forever, in love with himself. The easier path is always the one that doesn't pay off with interest. The easy path is that chosen by Lot, it is the path chosen by those Israelites wanting to return to Egypt in the desert, it is the path chosen by Peter when he denies Jesus, the path chosen by Judas in betraying him, it is the path today of affirming sin rather than fighting it. It is the path chosen by Marcion and Arius and Nestorius and Luther and Calvin and Henry VIII and Joel Osteen. The easier path is always the road to ruin. And who wants to be part of a religion that demands nothing of us, that demands too little, when Jesus has given all to his bride, the Church? We must surrender to win. You certainly do not win by joining the side that appears to winning, or that you think will win, because even if you win, you are still stuck in the game. In fact, if you win, you may be more stuck in the game than before, like how the proverbial quicksand pulls you deeper the more you struggle. How many aspiring employees who climb to Vice President suddenly find that their wealth and prestige now “require” a bigger house and a finer car and better schools for their kids? How many French and Germans and Russians traded in the humble truths of Jesus Christ for the toxic truths of a political party? How many Democrats and Republicans are doing the same in America right now exactly as they were in Dante's Florence so many centuries ago, or in Rome during the glory days of Caesar, or in the last days when the collapse of the Bronze Age? All of these past peoples have turned to dust, but the living God remains, and the Holy Spirit carried the Church along in this final Messianic Age. You do not win by surrendering to the bulldozer of earthly power, on either side. You win by surrendering to the power of Jesus. He is the real ruler over all things. Your way of life will need to change. Your life itself may need to be given up in professing the Truth. But the only way to win at this most important thing is to surrender everything. Ego, pride, self-elevation. Let it go. Otherwise, if your game is here on this earth, whatever you win today, you will need to defend tomorrow, and someday in the future after long years of fighting, you will turn around and see that you have been defending a pile of rubble. When you reach that moment, know that the one Truth is waiting for you to turn your face all the way to look at his sacrifice on the Cross. Rather than dishearten you, this should ignite you. You have been wanting the wrong things. Desires that you had, items that you wanted to own, experiences that you sought to remember - these were the distractions from the real answer to the one test question. How strange I thought it was for Jesus to say, “Rejoice, for the kingdom is among you.” But it is here. It's here, but it's the opposite of the competitive nonsense and little trophies we have been seeking all our lives. This is an incredibly exciting time to be alive, because once again, the world has regressed into the same shape as in the first century, when the apostles lit the fuse for the dynamite of the Gospel. The fuse is once again just waiting to be lit with the fire of the Holy Spirit. The kingdom is here among us, and it is the Catholic Church, with all its flaws. The Church: founded on a rock called Peter, the sinner and the saint, the fallen one transformed into a bold healer. The same answer to “Why did Peter sink?” for an individual is the same answer for the Church founded on the rock called Peter: taking the focus off of Christ and the fullness of him is to sink. To look at him constantly in trust is to experience the unending miracle of walking with God. The kingdom is here, the Church - in the world but not of the world - defending the faith from errors until he comes again. This is a public episode.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, known as “the little flower,” was prophetically called by Pope Pius X, the “greatest saint of modern times.”  Time continues to echo her greatness.  As a Doctor of the Church, St. Therese continues to be the subject of numerous new books and homilies each year.  This year, 2023, is a very special year for all Carmelites as well as the Church.  We are celebrating the 150th anniversary of St. Therese's birth and the 100thanniversary of her beatification.  In 2025, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of her canonization. The Carmelite world is talking about St. Therese in a big way! In today's homily, given by Deacon Rusty Baldwin, OCDS, he talks about how St. Therese used the gifts God gave her, returning them to Him as a spiritual bouquet of flowers.  Episodes from the life of St. Therese are reflected on to help us know how to imitate her.  These are wonderful lessons for each of us to grow closer to God, no matter what state of life we lead.  May St. Therese intercede for us and help us to use God's gifts wisely.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Second Week of Lent Lectionary: 234The Saint of the day is Saint Dominic SavioSaint Dominic Savio's Story So many holy persons seem to die young. Among them was Dominic Savio, the patron of choirboys. Born into a peasant family at Riva, Italy, young Dominic joined Saint John Bosco as a student at the Oratory in Turin at the age of 12. He impressed Don Bosco with his desire to be a priest and to help him in his work with neglected boys. A peacemaker and an organizer, young Dominic founded a group he called the Company of the Immaculate Conception which, besides being devotional, aided John Bosco with the boys and with manual work. All the members save one, Dominic, would, in 1859, join Don Bosco in the beginnings of his Salesian congregation. By that time, Dominic had been called home to heaven. As a youth, Dominic spent hours rapt in prayer. His raptures he called “my distractions.” Even in play, he said that at times, “It seems heaven is opening just above me. I am afraid I may say or do something that will make the other boys laugh.” Dominic would say, “I can't do big things. But I want all I do, even the smallest thing, to be for the greater glory of God.” Dominic's health, always frail, led to lung problems and he was sent home to recuperate. As was the custom of the day, he was bled in the thought that this would help, but it only worsened his condition. He died on March 9, 1857, after receiving the Last Sacraments. Saint John Bosco himself wrote the account of his life. Some thought that Dominic was too young to be considered a saint. Saint Pius X declared that just the opposite was true, and went ahead with his cause. Dominic was canonized in 1954. His liturgical feast is celebrated on March 9. Reflection Like many a youngster, Dominic was painfully aware that he was different from his peers. He tried to keep his piety from his friends lest he have to endure their laughter. Even after his death, his youth marked him as a misfit among the saints and some argued that he was too young to be canonized. Pope Pius X wisely disagreed. For no one is too young—or too old or too anything else—to achieve the holiness to which we all are called.

ST. GERARD MAJELLA l Patron of mothers, expectant mothers and childbirth Feast Day : October 16 Why a young lay brother is principally proclaimed patron of mothers, expectant mothers and childbirth is a real puzzle. Why not a female saint, but the life story of our saint today, St. Gerard Majella will tell us why. Gerard, the youngest son of five children, was born in Muro, southern Italy on April 6, 1726. Being frail, he was immediately taken to the church for Baptism after his birth. He grew up to be a very prayerful boy and even when he was just five, he would pray daily in a small chapel near his home. Often, he would bring home a loaf of bread. Asked where the bread came from, he would say that “a most beautiful boy” gave it to him. When his sister secretly followed him to the chapel one day, she saw him praying before the statue of Mary holding the Child Jesus. After a short while, Jesus went down and played with Gerard, then gave him a loaf of bread and sent him home. · Voice: When Gerard was twelve years old his father, who was a tailor, died and to help the family, his mother sent him to his uncle so as to teach him the work of his father. Though the foreman was abusive, Gerard kept silent but when his uncle knew about it he was told to resign. Then, he became a houseboy in the Bishop's house. When the Bishop died, Gerard tried to work on his own and the money he earned he gave half to his mother, gave some to the poor and offered Masses for the souls in Purgatory. He entered the Capuchin Order two times but he did not persevere due to his poor health. In 1749, he joined the Redemptorists and after three years he became a lay brother. He professed the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and stayed close with the poor. He worked in the community as a gardener, sacristan, infirmarian, tailor, porter, cook, carpenter and foreman on a building construction. He was often called to minister to the sick. And he graciously accepted any call by saying he was available to “do the will of God.” Voice: His charity, service, obedience, prayerful life, and penances made him a perfect model for lay brothers. At 27, he was falsely accused by a girl, saying he was the father of the child she was carrying. The superior general, St. Alphonsus, reprimanded him, denied him the privilege of receiving Holy Communion and prohibited him from having contact with outsiders. Gerard bore with patience this calumny and doubled his penances and prayer. But when the girl got seriously ill and no remedy was available to heal her, she retracted and wrote St. Alphonsus that she had lied. Although he was vindicated, Gerard did not show any self-complacency. He just thanked God for saving him from such a terrible trial. · The life of Gerard was replete with miraculous events. He often fell into ecstasy while in prayer. He had also the gift of levitation and bi-location. His apostolate for mothers began when the handkerchief he left in a certain house was afterwards instrumental in curing a woman giving birth. Gerard was always frail in health. In 1755, he had a strong hemorrhage but his superior commanded him to get up. He got up and was well for a month, yet he knew he was dying. He died in the morning of October 15, 1755 at 29 years old. He was beatified on January 29,1895 by Pope Leo XIII and was canonized on December 11, 1904 by Pope Pius X. He was proclaimed patron of mothers, expectant mothers, child birth, falsely accused, unborn children. · Prayer: “St. Gerard, please pray for the conversion of those who calumniate others.” · Reflection:Am I inclined to accuse and malign other people for my own advantage?

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.27 airing Sunday, July 3rd 2022 featuring Richard Gilliver, Zachary Shedd, Josh Entner and GenevieveWhat a wild ride, and just think this is only the beginning! Can we all get off this roller coaster?Yes, The Non-Prophets are talking about the worst Supreme Court decision next to all the next decisions they are likely going to make in the next few months. This time we decided to attack it a little differently. So come Sunday at 3:00 PM Central, sit back, relax, and we will all get through this together.For this episode we have a brand new conductor. Sorry Richard Gilliver, wish it was under better circumstances. He is joined by a newcomer, though you might remember him from Truth Wanted Live from UTSA's Secular Student Alliance, Zachary Shedd! Again sorry the timing sucks! Rounding out the rest of the stellar panel we have Genevieve from That GD Show, and Josh Entner from Bloody Good Film Podcast.First up we discuss what it was like for women before the Roe Vs. Wade decision. Was it a perfect utopia of super protected babies and everyone was happy? Was it a barren hellscape fill of fetuses and rusty hangers? We got this history for you so you can go into these discussions better armed.Are you one who gets your news and daily topics from the internet? I assume that if you are reading this right now that is at least sometimes a yes. We all know that privacy of a woman's body has gone away, but what people might not know is the dangers of even googling abortion topics. We look into some privacy and security tips to keep you safe and still fighting.So then what can we do? Well as a 501(c)(3) there are some limitations on what we can suggest. That doesn't mean we cannot look into what others are doing. There are people from all walks of life fighting for their rights, for your rights, for everyone's rights. From people marching on the streets to companies offering pay to those in states that made abortion illegal? This is something to keep an eye on!Finally this week, we figured we would change it up a little bit. To cleanse the pallet of all these sour tastes the week has brought us. We discuss a Looking Back of Churches v. Scholarships. Join us on a journey through time when Pope Pius X condemned the intellectual movement in the early 1900's. Who would have thought over 100 years later he would start winning?This will wrap it up for this week's episode of The Non-Prophets. We will keep fighting for the rights of everyone around us and hope you do too!Segment 1: Lessons from Before Roe: Will Past be Prologue?Guttmacher Policy ReviewBy Rachel Benson Gold, March 1, 2003https://bit.ly/3bJzNV4Segment 2: DIGITAL SAFETY TIPS: FOR PROVIDERS OF ABORTION SUPPORTElectronic Frontier Foundation, By Daly Barnett, June 23, 2022https://bit.ly/3ugTDgAIn A Post-Roe America, Googling "Abortion" Could Put You At Risk.

The virtue of humility stands in direct opposition and protection from the temptation to act upon prideful inclinations. The Litany of Humility is a powerful prayer we can invoke to lead us closer to Christ in humility.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the First Week in Lent Lectionary: 227All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint Dominic SavioSo many holy persons seem to die young. Among them was Dominic Savio, the patron of choirboys. Born into a peasant family at Riva, Italy, young Dominic joined Saint John Bosco as a student at the Oratory in Turin at the age of 12. He impressed Don Bosco with his desire to be a priest and to help him in his work with neglected boys. A peacemaker and an organizer, young Dominic founded a group he called the Company of the Immaculate Conception which, besides being devotional, aided John Bosco with the boys and with manual work. All the members save one, Dominic, would, in 1859, join Don Bosco in the beginnings of his Salesian congregation. By that time, Dominic had been called home to heaven. As a youth, Dominic spent hours rapt in prayer. His raptures he called “my distractions.” Even in play, he said that at times, “It seems heaven is opening just above me. I am afraid I may say or do something that will make the other boys laugh.” Dominic would say, “I can't do big things. But I want all I do, even the smallest thing, to be for the greater glory of God.” Dominic's health, always frail, led to lung problems and he was sent home to recuperate. As was the custom of the day, he was bled in the thought that this would help, but it only worsened his condition. He died on March 9, 1857, after receiving the Last Sacraments. Saint John Bosco himself wrote the account of his life. Some thought that Dominic was too young to be considered a saint. Saint Pius X declared that just the opposite was true, and went ahead with his cause. Dominic was canonized in 1954. His liturgical feast is celebrated on March 9. Reflection Like many a youngster, Dominic was painfully aware that he was different from his peers. He tried to keep his piety from his friends lest he have to endure their laughter. Even after his death, his youth marked him as a misfit among the saints and some argued that he was too young to be canonized. Pope Pius X wisely disagreed. For no one is too young—or too old or too anything else—to achieve the holiness to which we all are called.

In Acerbo Nimis, Pope St. Piux X stresses the necessity and importance of teaching Christian doctrine. He points to the ignorance of Christian doctrine of so many modern people. This is a terrible tragedy and needs to be rectified as he echoes the words of Pope Benedict XIV, “We declare that a great number of those who are condemned to eternal punishment suffer that everlasting calamity because of ignorance of those mysteries of faith which must be known and believed in order to be numbered among the elect.” The solution is good Catechesis using the Catechism of the Council of Trent, which is to be desired above eloquent sermons.

In this episode I read Pope Pius X's encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, which is an in-depth look at what exactly Modernism is, how it came about, and what he asks Bishops to do about it. The book I reference, The Popes Against Modern Errors, can be found at https://tanbooks.com/ You may also read the encyclical, among other church documents, at https://www.papalencyclicals.net/

In this episode I read Pope Pius X's encyclical Lamentabili Sane, which condemns 65 modern errors. The book I reference, The Popes Against Modern Errors, can be found at https://tanbooks.com/ You may also read the encyclical, among other church documents, at https://www.papalencyclicals.net/

SERMON (ENGLISH) First Friday (Pope Pius X)

GLORIOUS MYSTERIES today.  You have but one Father in heaven; you have but one master, the Christ. (MT 23:9b,10b)

Pope Saint Pius X “Born poor and humble of heart,“Undaunted champion of the Catholic Faith,“Zealous to restore all things in Christ,“Crowned a holy life with a holy death”[1]Who was Pope Saint Pius X?This is the story of a Pope who refused to stay buried in the annals of history.  The boy who became Pope always worked with the image of Mother Church and her founder Jesus Christ before him, leading the way, as if on a path, beckoning him to follow.  He never ceased being the boy who worked and struggled endlessly to keep alive the true teachings of the Church!How long we have waited to know more about Pope Pius X!  It is awesome and a little more than exciting to discover how many Popes have succeeded St. Peter, to whom Our Lord gave the keys of His Church, making him our first Pope.  I cannot help feeling my heart swell as our research brings us to the road our Pope Pius X trod, along with those who preceded him and those who faithfully followed after him.  When we attempt to explain that our Church has had an uninterrupted history dating back to when Jesus walked the earth, commissioning the Apostles to carry on and spread the Good News that He is with us till the end of the world, we need only turn to the unbroken, unending succession of our Popes. Allow us to bring you the story and life of Pope Pius X, the 257th Pope to fill St. Peter's Chair as Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, serving at a crucial and disturbing time from 1903-1914.  Pope Pius X was the first Pope, since the Counter-Reformation Pope Pius V (1566-72) to be canonized.  As his story commences, we pray you will see why Mother Church chose to so honor him.  We must say, we are greatly humbled to have the great privilege to write the story of so special a Pope, who did so much to bring about reforms, which are still enriching our Church till today. Journeys of Faith Bob and Penny Lord's StoreJourneys of Faith Blog Subscribe to our Free Blog Easy PeasyBob and Penny Lord TV Channel Miracles of the Eucharist, Apparitions of Mary, and lives of the Saints videos on demand.Support the show (https://bobandpennylord.store/pages/we-need-your-help)

Apostolic Succession in the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches I ran across an interesting website: https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/. It is actually a database of all Roman Catholic bishops, past and present, with their histories. What is really fascinating is that their chain of consecrations are listed, their “family tree” of having hands laid on them by bishops. For Roman Catholics, this unbroken chain of apostolic succession of bishops is considered to be absolutely necessary in their theology for the confection of the sacraments. Or so it seems. Here's the problem: their records of consecrations don't even go back as far as the Reformation. I looked at the episcopal lineages of popes Francis, Benedict, and John Paul. Their consecrations find a common “ancestor” in Pope Clement XIII - who was consecrated in 1743. I looked up the local Roman Catholic archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond. His “ancestry” also runs through pope Clement XIII. Ditto for his predecessor Alfred Hughes. And his predecessor Francis Schulte. And his predecessor Philip Hannan. As a random exercise, I plugged in the bishop of Owensboro, Kentucky: William Medley. Yes, him too. Just for kicks, I looked up the bishop of Mombassa, Kenya (Martin Musonde). Yes, his lineage also runs through Clement XIII, and in fact, he shares a closer link with Abp. Aymond of New Orleans, going back to Pope Pius X (1884). They're practically kissing cousins. Here is what is interesting: Pope Clement XIII's lineage (and thus, it seems, all modern Roman bishops) hits a dead end with Scipone Cardinal Rebiba, the titular Roman Catholic patriarch of Constantinople, who was consecrated as a bishop in 1541. But we have no idea who consecrated him. The line of records stops here. Thus, the oldest recorded history of episcopal lineage for modern Roman bishops is more recent than the Reformation! Interestingly, there are also no lineages for the first several hundred years of popes. The second bishop of Rome, Linus (served 68-79 AD), has no known lineage. Neither does Gregory the Great (590-604). John XVII - pope in the year 1000 - has no known lineage. Pope Julius III - pope in 1500 - has only two known generations. Leo X (of Reformation fame) has a whopping four generations. That's it. So Rome, who ostensibly bases its entire validity on canonical episcopal consecration cannot even trace its own clergy back to the Reformation. Roman Catholics simply have to take it on faith that their bishops (and thus the priests they ordain) are legitimate. Scandinavian Lutheran bishops - and their “descendants” in the Baltics, Russia, and Africa - are likewise consecrated in apostolic succession (though not recognized as such by Rome), as the custom of traditional polity (bishop, priest, and deacon) and episcopal ordination were retained by the Scandinavian Lutherans as salutary traditions in accordance with the desire to do as so stated in our Book of Concord (Ap 14:1). German Lutheran pastors after the Reformation were not ordained by bishops - but rather by other pastors - in a kind of presbyterial succession - which has indeed happened in antiquity and in the middle ages. This is so because Lutheran pastors do not ordain themselves, nor are they ordained by the laity. Our confessions speak of the church ordaining pastors “using their own pastors for this purpose” (SA 3:10, Tr 72). Dr. Arthur Carl Piepkorn referred to this as a “de facto succession of ordained ministers,” and he points out that Jerome considered not only bishops, but presbyters as well, to be “successors of the apostles.” Piepkorn cites several historical instances of presbyters ordaining other presbyters and deacons, including in second century Alexandria and Lyons, as well as the Council of Ancyra (314) that includes a canon (13) that speaks to presbyters carrying out ordinations. Piepkorn also points out that John Cassian (360-435) records the fact that the Egyptian presbyter-abbot Paphnutius ordained his succesor both as a deacon and as a priest, and also that while before their episcopal consecrations, Sts. Willehad and Liudger, in the eighth century, were carrying out ordinations. Piepkorn also cites historical records from the thirteenth and even the fifteenth centuries - including papal bulls - recognizing presbyterial ordinations as valid (see “The Minister of Ordination in the Primitive and Medieval Church,” page 80 of The Church: Selected Writings of Arthur Carl Piepkorn). It seems that the Roman Catholic rejection of Lutheran orders based on our lack of canonically-consecrated bishops as ministers of ordination (as we find in the Papal Confutation in response to AC14) is not based on consistent theology and practice in the Roman Church. Piepkorn participated in “Lutherans and Catholics in Dialogue” - which yielded some surprising conclusions (see Volume IV on Eucharist and Ministry). One of the Roman participants (Fr. George Tavard) concluded that presbyterial successions are a matter of history, and said: I would be prepared to go further, and to admit that episcopal succession is not absolutely required for valid ordination…. The main problem, in our ecumenical context, does not lie in evaluating historical lines of succession, but in appreciating the catholicity of Protestantism today. Fellow participant Fr. Harry McSorley concluded, after a thorough study of the Council of Trent: We can say without qualification that there is nothing whatever in the Tridentine doctrine on sacrament of order concerning the reality of the eucharist celebrated by Christians of the Reformation churches. Catholic theologians who have maintained that there is no sacrament of the body and blood of Christ in Protestant churches because Protestant ministers are radically incapable of consecrating the eucharist are incorrect if they think this opinion is necessitated by the teaching of Trent. Of course, we Lutherans don't really care whether or not the papal church recognizes our ordinations or our eucharists as valid (though they do as a matter of course recognize our baptisms). But when examined in light of both actual history and the history of their theology, their exclusive claims regarding apostolicity come unraveled, even by their own pronouncements. And here is the final irony: while modern Roman Bishops cannot prove their line of consecrations even as far back as the Reformation, Lutheran bishops consecrated by means of the Swedish line, can indeed trace their lineages back further. This paper includes an appendix showing the succession of Swedish bishops back to its Roman Catholic “ancestor” who was consecrated in 1524. This means that confessional Lutheran bishops in various church bodies around the world have a greater claim to apostolic succession in the historical sense than even the Roman pope. Here is the episcopal lineage of the Church of Sweden from the paper “Den apostoliska successionen i Svenska kyrkan. En studie av den apostoliska successionens roll i dialogen med Church of England.” 6. Appendix: Svenska kyrkans historiskt dokumenterade vigningslinje Paris de Grassi, biskop av Pesaro, vigde 1524 i sitt hus i Rom Petrus Magni till biskop för Västerås stift som 1531 vigde Laurentius Petri till ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift som 1536 vigde Botvid Sunesson till biskop för Strängnäs stift som 1554 vigde Paul Juusten till biskop för Viborgs stift (1563 Åbo) som 1575 vigde Laurentius Petri Gothus till ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift som 1577 vigde Andreas Laurentii Björnram till biskop för Växjö stift (1583 Uppsala) som 1583 vigde Petrus Benedicti till biskop för Västerås stift (1587 Linköping) som 1594 vigde Abraham Angermannus till ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift som 1595 vigde Petrus Kenicius till biskop för Skara stift (1608 Strängnäs, 1609 Uppsala) som 1601 vigde Olaus Martini till ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift som 1608 vigde Laurentius Paulinus Gothus till biskop för Skara stift (1609 Strängnäs, 1637 Uppsala) som 1641 vigde Jonas Magni Wexionensis till biskop för Skara stift som 1647 vigde Johannes Lenaeus till ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift som 1668 vigde Johannes Baazius d.y. till biskop för Växjö stift (1673 Skara, 1677 Uppsala) som 1678 vigde Olaus Svebilius till biskop för Linköpings stift (1681 Uppsala) som 1695 vigde Mattias Steuchius till biskop för Lunds stift (1714 Uppsala) som 1726 vigde Eric Benzelius d.y. till biskop för Göteborgs stift (1731 Linköping, 1742 Uppsala) som 1742 vigde Henrik Benzelius till biskop för Lunds stift (1747 Uppsala) som 1757 vigde Carl Fredrik Mennander till biskop för Åbo stift (1775 Uppsala) som 1781 vigde Uno von Troil till biskop för Linköpings stift (1786 Uppsala) som 1787 vigde Jacob Axelsson Lindblom till biskop för Linköpings stift (1805 Uppsala) som 1809 vigde Carl von Rosenstein till biskop för Linköpings stift (1819 Uppsala) som 1824 vigde Johan Olof Wallin till biskop för Kungliga Serafimerorden (1837 Uppsala) som 1839 vigde Hans Olof Holmström till biskop för Strängnäs stift (1852 Uppsala) som 1855 vigde Henrik Reuterdahl till biskop för Lunds stift (1856 Uppsala) som 1864 vigde Anton Niklas Sundberg till biskop för Karlstad stift (1870 Uppsala) som 1890 vigde Martin Johansson till biskop för Härnösand stift som 1904 vigde Olof Bergquist till biskop för Luleå stift som 1932 vigde Erling Eidem till ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift som 1948 vigde Gunnar Hultgren till biskop för Visby stift (1950 Härnösand, 1958 Uppsala) som 1959 vigde Ruben Josefsson till biskop för Härnösand stift (1967 Uppsala) som 1970 vigde Olof Sundby till biskop för Växjö stift (1972 Uppsala) som 1975 vigde Bertil Werkström till biskop för Härnösand stift (1983 Uppsala) som 1986 vigde Gunnar Weman till biskop för Luleå stift (1993 Uppsala) som 1995 vigde Anders Wejryd till biskop för Växjö stift som blev ärkebiskop för Uppsala stift 2006 As an appendix to the appendix, Paris de Grassi, also known as Paride de Grassis (the bishop of Pesaro Italy who consecrated the first Swedish bishop), has a few more “generations” in his lineage: Achille Cardinal Grassi † (1506) Bishop of Bologna Pope Julius II (1481) (Giuliano della Rovere †) Pope Sixtus IV (1471) (Francesco della Rovere, O.F.M. †) Guillaume Cardinal d'Estouteville, O.S.B. † Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia (e Velletri) Cardinal Guillaume was consecrated a bishop in 1439. Thus modern Lutheran bishops have historical documentation of their successions dating back to 1439 - more than a century earlier than Roman bishops, whose records dead-end at 1541.

In the early twentieth century, a group of Catholic scholars tried to argue that the Catholic Church needed to adapt fundamental doctrines of its faith to match with the findings of modern historical and biblical scholarship. In doing so, they challenged both some of the most fundamental doctrines of the Catholic faith, as well as the authority of its hierarchy. In this lecture, we give a broad overview of the causes that led these scholars to deny traditional Church teaching, and why Pope Pius X condemned their beliefs as "the synthesis of all heresies."

Friends of the Rosary, Today, we went to Blue Army's Our Lady of Fatima Sanctuary in Asbury, New Jersey to celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, and pray the Rosary in this holy place. The feast of Christ King of Universe was established by Pope Pius X in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, which denied then—and denies today—Christ's Kingship. The solemnity proclaims that Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe, and wields supreme power over individuals, families, society, governments, and nations. Throughout the Holy Rosary, we see our Redeemer in agony and crucified in the sorrowful mysteries. We also picture Him glorious, joyful, and luminous. We always see His sacred Heart burning of mercy, along with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today we rejoice by envisioning Jesus as the eternal King—radiant, majestic, and divine. In the Advent season—starting on November 29th—we await the coming King, the King of peace gloriously reigning. Our royal Hero and Warrior who beats sin, darkness, suffering, and death, and resurrects, and triumphs forever. In our prayer, we say that is He the Holy One "who lives and reigns forever." [Written by Mikel A | The Rosary Network, New York] [Video Tour at the Blue Army Our Lady of Fatima Sanctuary in Asbury, NJ]

He came to the papal office in 1903 and died 11 years later in 1914, just as World War I was beginning.He was born in 1835 at Riese, near Venice, and was one of eight children. His family was poor. He felt a calling to be a priest at a young age and was ordained in 1858. After 26 years, he was named bishop of Mantua, Italy, and in 1893, he became patriarch of Venice. As Pope, he issued decrees making the age of First Holy Communion earlier (at the age of 7) and advocated frequent and even daily reception of the Eucharist. He promoted the reading of the Bible among laypeople, reformed the liturgy, promoted clear and simple homilies, and brought back Gregorian chant. He revised the Breviary, reorganized the curia, and initiated the codification of canon law. He died in 1914 of natural causes reportedly aggravated by worries over the beginning of World War I.Pope Pius X was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954.

Join us for an episode which sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the principles in Pope Pius X's 1903 motu proprio Tra le Sollecitudini. We'll take a look at the musical scene in which the motu proprio appeared and the evolution of the document, as well as provide an overview of the structure and decrees of the document. Our guest is Dr. Susan Treacy, a convert to the Catholic faith, and musicologist who has inspired many Catholic university students to love the Church's treasury of sacred music through her years teaching at Franciscan University of Steubenville and Ave Maria University.  For more information about the "Principles of Sacred Music" course offered online this summer (2020) through St. Joseph's Seminary, visit sacredmusicpodcast.com/upcoming-events.

I'm a big believer in learning from the experts… I even tell my team that it's all about learning from the best. Who are these experts? They are the heroes of the Catholic Church. Take for example Saint Pope Pius X, who led the Church in the early 20th century. In his encyclical, IL FERMO PROPOSITO, he offers us a blueprint for taking action. He explains that an apostolate must ”enlarge its sphere and multiply its results.” Often, this requires you to fundraise… and that's what this week's blog is all about. Check it out in this week's podcast. To learn more, click here: http://bit.ly/2sZCBUm

I'm reading Abbot Jean-Baptiste Chautard's classic book on the interior life, the Soul of the Apostolate. This book is so good that it has been given the thumbs up by three popes: Pope Pius X (had a copy on his nightstand, Benedict XV ( who wrote a foreword for it), and Benedict XVI (who cited it during his visit to Lourdes in 2008). As a fundraiser, Dom Chautard's guidance is priceless because he offers recommendations for being a "soldier of Christ" who takes "zealous action." Cistercians, like you and me, had to fundraise at times. Here are three recommendations I have learned from Dom Chautard on fundraising correctly as a Catholic.

Great question. On today's podcast my co-host admits to finding the liturgy a bit confusing. I do my best to explain that his quandary has been discerned by the Biblicum since it was founded by Pope Pius X in 1909. A compelling look at the scripture.

Church services can be incredibly distracting places, especially for leaders—you’re in the choir, you’re reading the scriptures, you're leading prayers, you’re preaching the sermon. What does it mean for us participate with our hearts—not just our lips!—when we’re busy with mundane things like adjusting a microphone or remembering a last minute announcement?  Dr. Mary Catherine Levri, Music Director at the Atheneum of Ohio, brings wisdom to this topic and draws us to a heart of worship. Mary Catherine speaks from her personal faith and comes to this topic from her background in music and theology, including earning a D.M.A. at the University of Notre Dame. As part of her position at the Atheneum, she instructs seminarians in music. Enjoying this podcast episode?

Key Takeaways from the Conversation Think of "active participation" as the coupling of two things—our interior, in-our-hearts participation, and also our exterior, what-we-are doing participation. To paraphrase Isaiah 29:13, we should approach God with both our lips and our hearts.Active participation for those of us leading the service (as pastors, readers, cantors and so on) can include our participation prior to the service—Scriptural reading ahead of time, singing hymns thoughtfully as we practice, praying the prayers that the congregation will pray together.If you are selecting music for your church, focus first on the music you sing most often. The congregation will always have that music to sing well, whether or not they join in on other pieces. And you will welcome young children to participate, since they can learn this music by rote.

In the latest episode of The Higherside Chats, Greg Carlwood hosts returning guest Cara St. Louis. On her previous appearance, she outlined the details of the new chronology, the missing time phenomenon, the mind weapon we call the Prussian Education System and the dumbing down it facilitates. As Cara looked deeper into the narrative of history, missing time and those who question it, she found more than enough meat on those bones and set out on her new venture: a series of episodic titles she calls The Workbook. Join them as they go for the conspiratorial one-two punch of the highest order as we explore Missing time and the New Chronology. 4:00 Greg and Cara begin by giving some context on the New Chronology. Cara details her path of initiation starting with the work of Sylvie' Ivanowa and leading to Russian astronomer and mathematician,Anatoly Fomenko. Cara explains that the timeline used by today's elite, contributes to the justification of things such as wars and the rising of certain dynastic families. Using astronomical events, such as the cycles of the moon, movements of the planets and eclipses, we are able to see the manipulation of humankind's understanding of history. 11:30 Knowing our current timeline may be completely inaccurate, Greg and Cara discuss the ways in  which establishments such as the Catholic church were capable of altering the dates of history to fit their desired paradigm. Cara contends Jesuits scholars Scaliger and his contemporary Dionysius Petavias, with the help of Benedictine monks, at the will of the Vatican, and against all history fiction or science rewrote chronology to pre-date the existence of Christianity. Further illustrating her point, Cara also explains that all astronomical evidence dates Jesus' period of existence to Medieval times, which gravely affects our current chronology. 15:00 Digging deeper into the Jesuit's brutal involvement in the Prussian education system, Cara briefly lays out the bullet points and a few keys players from along the way, including Pope Pius X. 24:42 Greg and Cara continue to put a point on the finer details of the key figures involved in altering the timeline. One such contributing character was none other than esteemed mathematician, astronomer and physicist, Isaac Newton. 28:00 Cara makes the case against the flat earth theory by contending that it discredits traditional astronomy. 29:45 Greg and Cara examine the work of Ivanowa involving the decedents of Atlantis whom she refers to as "the Survivors". Known as the keepers of the peace, the Survivors imparted knowledge to the indigenous people who in turn used their culture of oral storytelling to spread this knowledge for generations. Cara details the what she believes to be a critical moment in the lost history, the Battle of Moytura, a literal fairy tale taking place in Ireland. 38:00 Cara continues to detail her path of research for listeners. As a self-identified Faye, Cara believes the Faye exist in a different way. Cara outlines her theory, stating the Faye have been and may still be an extra-terrestrial race, as well as existing intra–dimensionally. Listen as Cara and Greg discuss the tumultuous relationship between the Faye and Drakos. 46:00 The scope of the human mind is endless. With the recent calls to creative types from CERN, Cara elaborates on the theory they may be attempting to harness the imagination to control and disrupt the morphogenetic field. 51:00 Listen as Cara describes the current landscape of terror, anxiety and fear being used to manipulate, weaken and control the population. 58:40 Greg and Cara continue to trace missing time conspiracy and this alternative history through the rule of Nero in Rome. With disparities in the timeline becoming more evident as we narrow in on details of history, Cara explains the fallacies in our current understanding of history. 1:03:20 Greg and Cara continue their discussion by tackling the Phantom time hy...

Rebroadcast of the long running radio program, "The Ave Maria Hour", Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org St. Gerard Majella is the patron of expectant mothers. He was born in 1726 in Muro, Italy to a family of seven. Majella grew up in a poverty with a great respect for the poor. Shortly after his father's death, his mother sent him away to live with his uncle and learn to become a tailor, like his father.  Majella began earning money as a journeyman at the age of 21, splitting his earnings with his mother, and the poor of Muro. In 1749, at the age of 23, he joined the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer and just three years later became a professed lay brother. Majella lived with the three vows of Poverty, Chasity and Obedience. He stayed close with the poor and worked very many different jobs. He served as sacristan, gardener, porter, infirmarian, and tailor. However, because of his great piety, extraordinary wisdom, and his gift of reading consciences, he was permitted to counsel communities of religious women.  Throughout his years of life, several reported miracles are tied to Majella. including, restoring a boy's life after he fell from a high cliff; blessing a poor farmer's crops, ridding it of mice; blessing a poor family's supply of wheat, causing it to last until the next harvest; and he multiplied bread for the poor on several occasions. Along with his miracles effected through prayers for woman in labor, Majella's last recorded miracle is one that many credit toward his becoming the patron of expectant mothers.  Due to the numerous miracles performed through Majella's prayers, proceedings for his canonization began shortly after his death. In 1893, Majella was beatified by Pope Leo XIII and on December 11, 1904, Pope Pius X canonized the man of God.

Pope Pius X proclaimed St. Therese of Lisieux as the “greatest saint of modern times.”  So many people throughout the world identify with her and her little way of spiritual childhood.  It is only natural that so many would want to pray a novena to St. Therese asking for her intercession.  Colleen Sollinger headed up […]

Just weeks into the Great War, Pope Pius X died. A cardinal for all of three months, Giacomo Paolo Giovanni Battista della Chiesa joined the resulting conclave to elect a new Pope. The cardinals assembled debated whether to elect an experienced diplomat as pope in order to cope with the war, or to elect a more theologically minded leader. The debate was short. On September 3, 1914, della Chiesa, a proven diplomat, was elected pope by the College of Cardinals. Taking the name Benedict XV, the new Pope immediately began looking for ways to intervene in the conflict. His seven year papacy would be defined by World War I – a war he later referred to “The suicide of civilized Europe.”

A brief overview of what lead to Pope Pius X writing Pascendi.

The title of this episode of CS is Liberal.The term “modern” as it relates to the story of history, has been treated differently by dozens of authors, historians, and sociologists. Generally speaking, Modernization is the process by which agricultural and rural traditions morph into an industrial, technological, and urban milieu that tends to be democratic, pluralistic, socialist, and/or individualistic.In the minds of many, the process of modernization is evidence of the validity of evolution. The idea is that evolution not only applies to the increasing complexity and adaptation of biological life, it also applies sociologically to civilization and human systems. They too are evolving. So, progress is good; a sign of societal evolution.But critics of modernization decry the abuses it often creates. Not all modern innovations are beneficial. The increased emphasis on individual rights can weaken a person's sense of belonging to and identity in a family and community. It weakens loyalty to valuable traditions and customs. Modernization builds new weapons that may encourage their inventors to assume they're superior, then use them to subjugate and dominate those they deem inferior, appropriating their land and resources.Modernization is often linked to a creeping secularization, a turning away from theistic religion. Periodic revivals are viewed as just momentary blips in societal evolution; temporary distractions in progress toward the realization of the Enlightenment dream of a totally secular society.It was during the 19th C that the rationalist ideas of the Enlightenment finally moved out of the halls of academia to settle in as the status quo for European society. Christians found themselves caught up in a world of mind-numbing change. Their cherished beliefs were assailed by hostile critics. Authors like Marx and Nietzsche attacked the Christian Faith from a base in Darwin's popular new theory.In an attempt to accommodate Faith and Reason, Ludwig Feuerbach, author of The Essence of Christianity, published in 1841, reduced the idea of God to that of a man. He said God is really just the projection of specific human qualities raised to the level of perfection.In 1855, Ludwig Büchner suggested that science dispensed with the need for supernaturalism. A materialist, he was one of the first to say that the advent of modern science meant there was no longer a need to explain phenomena by appealing to the miraculous or some ethereal spiritual realm. No such realm existed, except in the minds of those who refused to accept what science proved. He said, “The power of spirits and gods dissolve in the hands of science.”During the last half of the 19th C, Frederic Nietzsche made the case for atheism. Son of a Lutheran pastor, Nietzsche received an education in theology and philology at the Universities of Bonn and Leipzig.An amateur musician, Nietzsche became friends with composer Richard Wagner, who like Nietzsche, admired the atheist Schopenhauer.In Nietzsche's philosophy, we see the fruit of something we looked at in an earlier episode. The rationalist emphasis on reason divorced from faith leads ultimately to irrationality because it claims omniscience. By saying there IS no realm but the material realm, it closes itself off to even the possibility of a non-material realm. Yet the process of reason leads inevitably and inexorably to the conclusion there MUST be a realm of being, a category of existence beyond, apart from the material realm of nature.So Nietzsche embraced what has to be called non-rational ideas as the source for creativity, what he called “true living,” and art. An early indication his mind was fracturing, he identified as a follower of Dionysus, god of sexual debauchery and drunkenness. It's no surprise he indicted Christianity as promoting all that which was weak. He hated its emphasis on humility and its acceptance of the role of guilt in aiming to better people by moving them to repentance and renouncing self. For Nietzsche, the self was the savior. He advocated for people to exalt themselves and unapologetically assert their quest for power. He coined the term Übermensch, the superman whose been utterly liberated from the outdated mores of Biblical Christianity and governed by nothing but truth and reason. This superman decides for himself what's right or wrong.Nietzsche claimed “God is dead,” so no absolutes exist. There were no facts, only interpretations. Many creatives; authors, painters, and researchers were inspired by Nietzsche and used his writings as inspiration.It was at this time that advocates for what was called comparative religions argued Christianity ought to be studied as just one of several religions rather than from a confessional perspective that views it as TRUE. The assumption was that religion, just like everything else, had evolved from a primitive to a more complex state. A comparative study might find the core idea that united all religions, just as paleontologists looked for the common ancestor to man and apes.By the second half of the 19th C, derivations of the word “secular,” along with new words like agnostic, and eugenics, were part of European vocabularies. Secularization was identified with an emerging modernist separation of morality from traditional religion.Thomas Huxley minted the word agnostic to distinguish mere skeptics from hard-boiled atheists. It seems his development of the term may have actually helped many students, academics, and members of the upper classes in Victorian England shed traditional religious faith and embrace Rationalist-styled unbelief. They did so because they could now express their growing discomfort with supernaturalism without having to go all the way and declaim any belief in a Supreme being. It provided some philosophical wiggle room.Francis Galton introduced the word eugenics in 1883 to designate efforts to make the human race better by “improved” breeding. Galton, an evolutionary scientist, believed eugenics would favor the fittest human beings and suppress the birth of the unfit.In light of all this, it's not hard to understand why Christian leaders were suspicious that “modernity” and “secularization” seemed to go hand in hand. Many materialists came right out and said they were the same; to be modern meant to be secular and hostile to religious faith.In 1874 John Draper published the hugely influential History of the Conflict between Science and Religion, in which he said religion is the inveterate enemy of reason and science. European society in particular saw a collapse of the political, religious, and social masters that had steered it for centuries. In their place intellectuals emerged who sought a secular substitute to traditional religion.What made this process seemingly unstoppable was the results of modernization and the fruit of technology rapidly enhancing the quality of life across the continent. Many Christians felt they faced a losing battle defending the faith, “once for all delivered to the saints” against the onslaught of a science delivering such wonderful tools every other week.They began to wonder if they could remain “orthodox” while becoming “modern” Christians.That challenge was complicated by the work of Charles Darwin. What made it an even greater challenge was when believers heard from scientists who said they were Christians, who told them Darwin was right. Humans were descended from the apes, not Adam and Eve.Others, like Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, boldly declared Darwin's ideas incompatible with Scripture. In 1860, Wilberforce published a well-crafted and lengthy response to the Origin of Species. He praised Darwin's research and engaging style and even gave a nod to  Darwin's admission to being a Christian. But Wilberforce was careful to mark out many of Darwin's claims as erroneously conceived.Wilberforce said God is the Author of both the Books of Nature and Scripture. So it's not possible for the two to contradict each other. It's been the object of one branch of Apologetics to justify that ever since.In October 1860, Bishop Wilberforce and Huxley engaged in a famous debate at the British Association in Oxford over Darwin's theories. Huxley shrewdly portrayed the cleric as meddling in scientific matters beyond his competency. Wilberforce used a classic debate rhetorical device that had little to do with the substance of the debate but would prejudice the audience against his opponent. Huxley took the barb, then turned it around and used it to paint Wilberforce as HAVING to use such tactics because of the supposed weakness of his argument. If the Bishop had stuck to the content of his original article in the British Digest, he'd have fared much better.The debate over Darwin's theory took many turns. Some wondered if he was right that evolutionary processes were progressive in the sense that they moved toward a species perfection. Darwin had said, “As natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress towards perfection.” Supporters of Darwinism had a rationale for what came to be known as Social Darwinism with its advocacy for racism and eugenics.Ernst Haeckel introduced Darwinism to Germany. A brilliant zoologist, in 1899, Haeckel published The Riddle of the Universe, in which he argued for a basic unity between organic and inorganic matter. He denied the immortality of the soul, the existence of a personal God, promoted infanticide, suicide, and the elimination of the unfit. Using a hundred lithographs drawn from nature (1904), Haeckel campaigned for the teaching of evolutionary biology in Germany as fact. This was in contrast with the many scientists who viewed Darwinism as an evolving theory.At the dawn of the 20th C, the debate over Darwinism continued. As early as 1910, some claimed the theory of evolution was already dead. As subsequent history has shown, yeah –uh, not quite.Under mounting pressure, Europeans who wanted to be considered “modern, scholarly” yet remain “Christian” often made accommodations in the way they expressed their faith. Early in the century, liberal theologians found new ways to describe and explain the Christian faith. Friedrich Schleiermacher proposed that Truth in Christianity was located in a personal religious experience, not in its historical events or correspondence to reality. He criticized Scholastic Protestant orthodoxy emphasizing assent to propositions about God. He said what was far more important was one's subjective experience of the divine.Later in the century, Catholic modernists said the Roman Catholic Church must accommodate the advances in knowledge made by higher criticism and Darwinism. They also declaimed the lack of democracy in the running of the Church. Pushing back against all this in 1910 Pope Pius X condemned modernism as the “synthesis of all heresies.”Faced with such dramatic changes and challenges, many 19th C Christians felt the need to define and defend their faith in new ways. That wasn't an easy task in light of some of the charges being made against it. Those who wanted to align the Faith with the modern scholarship discovered its rules tended to ensconce naturalist presuppositions that allowed no room for the supernaturalism required in theism.Anglicans and those in the Oxford Movement saw no such need to adjust their beliefs. They simply reaffirmed the authority of their faith communities and emphasized the importance of confessions, creeds, and Scripture. In mid-July, 1833, the Anglican theologian John Keble preached a famous sermon titled, “National Apostasy,” which triggered the beginning of the Oxford Movement. Keble warned about the repercussions of forsaking the Anglican Church.We'll take a closer look at the emergence of Theological Liberalism in our next episode.

In this 127th episode of CS, titled “Then Away,” we give a brief account of the rise of Theological Liberalism.In the previous episodes, we charted the revivals that marked the 18th and 19th centuries. Social transformation is a mark of such revivals. But not all those engaged in the betterment of society were motivated by a passion to serve God by serving their fellow Man. At the same time that revival swept though many churches, others stood aloof and held back from being carried away into what they deemed as “religious fanaticism.”As Enlightenment ideas moved into and through the religious community, some theologians shifted to accommodate what had become the darling ideas of academia. Instead of becoming outright agnostics, they sought to wed rationalism with theology and arrived at an amalgam we'll call Theological Liberalism.Not to be outdone by Revivalists transforming culture through the power of The Gospel and a conviction they were to be salt and light in a dark and decaying world, Liberalism developed what came to be called The Social Gospel; a faith that emphasized doing as much, if not more than, believing.The name most associated with the Social Gospel is Walter Rauschenbusch. He began pastoring a Baptist church in New York in 1886. It was there that he came face to face with the desperate condition of the poor.  He joined the faculty of Colgate-Rochester Theological Seminary, where over the course of 10 years he wrote 3 books that were hugely influential in promoting the Social Gospel.Someone might say at this point >> You've used that phrase a couple of times now. What's ‘The Social Gospel'?”The Social Gospel was a movement among Protestant denominations in the early 20th century, mainly in the United States and Canada, but a limited expression in Europe. It addressed social problems with Christian ethics. Its main targets were issues of social justice like poverty, addiction, crime, racism, pollution, child labor, and war. Advocates of the Social Gospel sought to implement that line in the Lord's Prayer that says, “Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.”Advocates of the Social Gospel were usually post-millennialists who believed the Second Coming would not occur unless humanity rid itself of injustice and vice. The leaders of the movement were largely connected to the liberal wing of the Progressive Movement.The Social Gospel movement peaked in the early 20th century. It began to decline due to the trauma brought about by WWI, when the ideals of the movement were so badly abused by world events. A couple of under-pinnings of theological liberalism are the Brotherhood of Man and the innate goodness of human beings. WWI conspired to prove the lie to both assumptions and create doubt in the minds of millions that humans are good or could be a brotherhood.Though Rauschenbusch's early theology included a belief in original sin and the need for personal salvation, by the time he'd written his last tome, he regarded sin as an impersonal social ill and taught that reform would arrive with the demise of capitalism, the advance of socialism, and the establishment of the Kingdom of God by human effort. His views were accepted by such prominent spokesmen as Shailer Matthews and Shirley Jackson Case of the University of Chicago.Rauschenbusch's impact was combined with other developments in liberalism during the 19th century. Unitarianism had made deep inroads into mainline denominations under the leadership of William Ellery Channing and Theodore Parker. Channing's sermon “Unitarian Christianity” in 1819, deserves credit for launching the Unitarianism movement.Another influential figure of the 19th C was Horace Bushnell. He published Christian Nurture in 1847, arguing that a child ought to grow up in covenant with God, never knowing he was anything but a Christian. This was contrary to the Pietist emphasis on having a datable conversion experience. Bushnell's ideas of growing a child up from birth in a covenant of grace had a huge impact on Christian educators for generations.In addition to Theodore Parker's support of Unitarianism, he introduced German biblical criticism into American Christianity. By doing so, the way was opened for Darwinian evolution and the ideas of Julius Wellhausen. Wellhausen was one of the originators of the Documentary Hypothesis, which forms the core of much of modern liberal scholarship on the Bible to this day.These influences led to a creeping theological liberalism based on the twin postulates of the evolution of religion and a denial of the supernatural. In their place emerged the idea of the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man, and the establishment of God's Kingdom as a natural outcome of evolution.Three German scholars were also central to the development of Theological liberalism: Schleiermacher, Ritschl, and Harnack.Friedrich Schleiermacher adapted the ideas of Existentialism to Christianity and said that the core of faith wasn't what one believed so much as what one FELT, what we experience. Religion, he urged, involved a feeling of absolute dependence on God. For Schleiermacher, doctrine hung on experience, not the other way around. Today, a mature Christian might counsel a neophyte, saying something like, “Don't let feelings control you.” Or, “We need to evaluate our experiences by God's Word, not the other way around.” Schleiermacher would disagree with that. In his view, experience VALIDATES doctrine. Feels are key. A Faith that isn't felt is no faith at all, he maintained.Albert Ritschl claimed Christ's death had nothing to do with the payment of a penalty for sin. He said it resulted from loyalty to His calling of bringing about the Kingdom of God on Earth, and that it was by His death that He could share his experience of Sonship with all people, who would then become the vehicle and means by which the Kingdom could be constructed. The practice of a communal religion was of vital importance to Ritschl because Christ best shared Himself through the community of the Church. Ritschl's impact on other scholars was great.Probably the most affected by Ritschl's works was Adolf Harnack. Harnack regarded the contributions of the Apostle Paul to the Gospel as a Greek intrusion on the Christian Faith. His goal was to get back to a more primitive and Jewish emphasis that centered on ethical imperatives as opposed to doctrine. As a professor in Berlin in 1901 he published his influential What Is Christianity? This focused on Jesus' human qualities, who preached not about Himself but about the Father; the Kingdom and the Fatherhood of God; a higher righteousness; and the command to love.The views of these three German scholars came ashore in America to further the liberal ideas already underway.If Theological Liberalism with its Social Gospel were a reaction to the Revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries, those who'd been revived were not going to sit idly by as that liberalism grew. They responded with a movement of their own.Charles Briggs, a professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York, was put on trial before the Presbytery of New York and suspended from ministry in 1893 for promulgating liberal ideas. Henry Smith of Lane Seminary in Cincinnati was likewise defrocked that same year, as was AC McGiffert for holding and teaching similar views. Other denominations had heresy trials and dismissed or disciplined offenders. The most famous conflict of the 20th century concerned Harry Emerson Fosdick, who in 1925 was removed as pastor of First Presbyterian Church of New York City to became an influential spokesman for liberalism as the pastor of Riverside Church.Roman Catholicism wasn't immune to the impact of theological liberalism and reacted strongly against it. Alfred Loisy, founded Roman Catholic Modernism in France, but was dismissed in 1893 from his professorship at the Institut Catholique in Paris. He was further excommunicated in 1908. The English Jesuit George Tyrrell was demoted in 1899 and died out of fellowship with the church. Liberalism invaded American Roman Catholicism. To silence the threat, Pope Pius X issued the decree Lamentabili in 1907, and in 1910 he imposed an anti-modernist oath on the clergy.In contest with Liberalism, Evangelicals had a number of able scholars during the latter part of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries. Charles Hodge defended a supernaturally-inspired and inerrant Bible during his long tenure as professor of biblical literature and theology at Princeton. AA Hodge carried on his father's work. In 1887, BB Warfield followed Hodges as professor of theology. Fluent in Hebrew, Greek, modern languages, theology, and biblical criticism, Warfield staunchly defended the inerrancy of Scripture and basic evangelical doctrines in a score of books and numerous pamphlets. In 1900, the scholarly Robert Dick Wilson joined the Princeton faculty, and J Gresham Machen [Mah khen] arrived shortly after. In 1929, when a liberal realignment occurred at Princeton, Machen and Wilson joined Oswald Allis, Cornelius Van Til, and others in founding Westminster Theological Seminary. Other scholars could be mentioned, but these were some of the most prestigious.This movement came to be known as Fundamentalism; a word with a largely negative connotation today as it conjures up the idea of wild-eyed religious fanatics who advocate violence as a means of defending and promulgating their beliefs. Christian Fundamentalism was simply a theologically conservative movement that sought to preserve and articulate classic, orthodox beliefs on the essentials of the Christians Faith. They were called Fundamentals because they were regarded as those doctrines essential to the integrity of the Gospel message; things that had to be believed in order to be saved.Fundamentalism was largely a reaction to Theological Liberalism which appeared to many Evangelicals to be taking over the colleges and seminaries. Liberalism wasn't popular with the average church-goer. It founds it's base among academics and those training clergy. But evangelical leaders knew what began in classrooms would soon be preached in pulpits, then practiced in pews. So they began the counter-movement called Fundamentalism.Since Theological Liberals had already managed to co-opt the chairs of many institutions of higher learning, they cast their Fundamentalist opponents as uneducated and unsophisticated nincompoops. Knuckle-dragging theological Neanderthals who couldn't comprehend the complexities of higher criticism and the latest in theological research. That image has, for many, become part and parcel of the connotative meaning of the word Fundamentalist today. And it's grossly unfair since those early Evangelical scholars who shaped the Fundamentalist movement were some of the brightest, best-educated, and most erudite people of the day.
