A Blessed Christmas to All

admin — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 22:39:32 +0000

It is a good Christmas for me. I was lucky to be able to visit with my family. Not everyone is so fortunate. Not everyone is living in peace. My facebook page revealed the reality this morning when I saw the news feeds of stories from around the world. The reality of hardship in the [...]

Msgr. Joseph Pohle

The following is from a German Wikipedia Article. It was translated with Google translate, and I have attempted to repair any awkward phrasing. I probably could have done better, but I don’t understand German, and the computerized translation is very sloppy. Joseph Pohle (* March 19 1852 in Niederspay in Koblenz , † February 21 [...]

Mariology – Part 1 Chapter 2 Section 2 – Mary’s Fulness of Grace – Msgr Joseph Pohle

admin — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:00:14 +0000

Section 2 Mary’s Fulness of Grace Ripalda[1] and Scheeben[2] refer to Mary’s Divine Motherhood as her immediate forma sanctificans. This view is based on a misapplied analogy with the Hypostatic Union and therefore untenable. But there can be no doubt that the dignity of Divine Motherhood imperatively postulates for its bearer the highest possible measure [...]

CHAPTER II MARY’S DIGNITY AS MOTHER OF GOD AND THE GRACES ATTACHED TO HER DIVINE MOTHERHOOD Like the Hypostatic Union of the two Natures in Christ, the Divine Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary may be regarded from a twofold point of view: (1) ontologically, i.e., in its objective dignity (dignitas maternitatis divinae in se); [...]

Mariology Part 1 Chapter 1 – Mary the Mother of God – by Msgr Joseph Pohle

admin — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 01:17:00 +0000

INTRODUCTION Mariology is that part of Dogmatic Theology which treats of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Divine Redeemer. Mariology is closely related to both Christology[1] and Soteriology.[2] Mary is truly Deipara because Christ is truly Godman. As His mother she is the mother of our Redeemer, and thus intimately bound up with [...]

Are the Current Rites of Ordination Invalid?

admin — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 20:19:15 +0000

Rite of Ordination My intention here is not to argue for or against the validity of Anglican holy orders. It’s to show this information in the context of the discussion as it exists between sedevacantists and the Catholic Church in Communion with the Bishop of Rome, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Sedevacantists and others claim [...]
