Your intellect is super-personal, wholesome and free from prejudicial pettiness. Thus, your fate I know. Sooner or later, you shall reform your soul-core in ridding yourself of the outer reform, and advancing to a greater and more abyssal, sublime reform... Have you studied, perchance, John of the Cross, his "Dark Night of the Soul"? Nobler literature does not exist in human history, Madam. Catholicism of the modern age, is pure decadence. Yet before its corruption, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, I must gently assert, succeeded in maintaining the doctrinal ascendancy of the spirit, compared to the other "low-culture" Christian forms, the more vulgar ones, merely schismatic. In assessing "co-redeemer" nonsense, keep in mind NOT ONE SINGLE Christian expression has escaped the involution of the spirit of this epoch and its sub-human, savage ethos of all-consuming metaphysical materialism and nihilistic amorality. <br /><br />BTW, your fearlessness in exposing the fraud of neo-Ebionite-"Zionistic", Antitrinitarian/rationalistic/Rosicrucian and other regressive and Americanist type heresies, your fellow Protestants blindly serve as idols. Your "countercultural" activity is refreshing and delightful; moreover, personally, evinces superb moral merit... I honor your integrity and vigor of cognition, Madam, and wish you the best,<br /><br />Robin Palacio, "hyper-Catholic" anti-Catholic CatholicTheomastixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196939438591737225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492355294602446031.post-90660151494049808432014-07-06T04:10:02.580-06:002014-07-06T04:10:02.580-06:00You are one of the few clinically non-psychotic &q...You are one of the few clinically non-psychotic "Protestants" I have encountered. You must not live in America, yes? In America, there is only universal madness and satanism masquerading as piety - cross-denominational degeneracy. Anti-Catholicism is the especial favorite pastime of Americans, this breed of degenerate detritus and thralls to Mammon. Continuing: Therefore, as your mind is intelligent, you shall proceed into the tent of Catholicism, or its hardly distinguishable twin, Eastern Orthodoxy, or a similar doctrinal stronghold of "non-subverted" Christianity. Lutheranism is unworthy of your intellect. I never flatter, you should know. Luther was merely a boorish clod-hopping philistine whose personal failure to attain self-mastery over his libidinous impulses in ascesis as a contemplative, was rationalized into a civilization-splitting "theology", whose higher elements coexist with equally substantial, if not more sadly predominating, lower elements derivative of his own psyche, no metaphysical intellection. Your own rationality is superior to that of Luther and Lutheranism, not to mention the hydra-headed chaos-dragon of "Protestantism" and its zillions of neo-totemic cultic groupuscles Luther paved the way for by privatizing spiritual authority. Among all "Protestant" "forms", I shall admit and state perhaps the least psychosis-marred, befuddled and nihilistic-proletarian "reformed" Christianity is Lutheranism. Going through your objections, I can explain the metaphysical explanations for each one, but I am time-pressed of the moment. E-mail me if thou wilt. My "prophecy": You shall join one of the true fragments or links of "cardio-gnostic" (see Paul, Romans for heart-intellect as the image of God in Homo Sapiens) transmission, rivulets of unstained translucence of the origins, still, even if imperfectly, yet surviving and preserving, semi-intact, the "real deal": either Catholic (and trust me, Madam, authentic - that is, counter-"modernistic" - authentic, real, "Traditional" - tradition not as "convention" but as "vehicle of supra-human teaching" - Catholics are more militantly disposed against any sort of Marian lunacy developed by the limp-wristed and limp-spirited androgynous priesthood of apostasy of the times, and eager to crusade against in indignant fury, concerning those verminous idiots who would sully God and Jesus in the neo-Babylonian demoness-worship of "Mariolatry/Co-Redemptrix Mariology" - *real Catholics* do exist, and reject in fiery warlike terms, all such decadent nonsense...while, naturally, holding Mary in a proportionate, sane and just reverence, a reverence even Luther expresses intermittently...), - sorry to digress: whether Traditional (in the metaphysical sense) Catholic, Melkite, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental-Assyrian, whatever! - the specificity meaningless here, as long as part of the "golden chain" - of the great river of Christian primordialism (the exact opposite of Restorationist anti-authoritarian "primitivism" so terribly popular in America, this God-awful "New Zion") - you shall find your soul-rest in one of these deeper waters retaining the transcendental truth of real Christianity.Theomastixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196939438591737225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492355294602446031.post-51633490929921281062014-02-27T15:13:57.422-07:002014-02-27T15:13:57.422-07:00I like your thorough approach to all this. I think...I like your thorough approach to all this. I think a few clarifications may be needed regarding certain items in the 10 item list above:<br />1) Papal infallibility is a negative protection which keeps the pope from teaching error in regards to faith or morals. It doesn't keep him from sinning. We've had very naughty popes on occasion.<br />2) You must realize that the papacy has been in existence from the beginning of the Church without interruption. Impressive.<br />3) Hyperdulia is infinitely less than latria. Deification is never what the Church believed. Ever.<br />4) Pray means 'ask.' You're smarter than that. When we ask one other to pray for us it's the same thing. It is the same 'prayer' with regard to those in heaven. <br />5) Not enough space to cover that one in a comment...<br />6) The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is the Body of Christ. In the same way that nobody can get to heaven but through Jesus, nobody gets to Jesus but through the mystical Body of Christ; the Church. Non-Catholics participate partially in this union.<br />7) Not enough space to cover that one in a comment...<br />8) That's a funny objection =)<br />9) What a wonderful mystery. Replacing the substance of the bread and wine with the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus<br />10) Not sure what to make of this objectionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
