True that. That quote was clear as day; as I live where we understand it perfectly! And, once the eye passes, the worst is going to hit you! St. Athanasius, pray for us.
Newman is hardly a modernist, nor can his “development of doctrine” become a wax nose to be fashioned in whatever way you like. This “Trojan horse” theory simply lacks legs I’m afraid. Newman is not Hans Kung, nor was Vatican II a direct cause of all the woke nonsense that seems to be being promulgated by the Lavender Mafia. Remember Benedict was one of the proponents of Vatican II, and he was anything but a Liberal. Sorry, but this is a pretty far fetched. . . merely Exogitations of the boy who cried wolf I’m afraid.
Thanks again Mr. Jackson. To my way of thinking none of what we are seeing is the Catholic faith. The faith only exists in small islands and will continue that way until the modernist are driven out of the Vatican and the seminaries or wherever they are found. Unless there is a return to teaching the authentic faith to children, converts and seminarians it will just continue to implode. What will replace it? Islam of course. I despise the false Conciliar Church and its sissy homo agenda. It is not Christianity!
I remember being taught the Development of Doctrine theory in my first year of major seminary. It was used to bend and twist Church teachings into an unrecognizable pretzel. The result was the teaching to seminarians that the Church no longer believed that which was already defined by Councils and pious popes. This is basically the heresy of Modernism. Nearly every Novus Ordo priest ordained over the past thirty plus years (including bishops) all believe this. Furthermore, even the SSPX allowed themselves to get sucked into this vortex by their Recognize & Resist position. They do not realize that Prevost will decimate the Society by not allowing them to consecrate more bishops. Prevost will attach conditions to them just as he attached the saying of the Novus Ordo by the FSSP. The Society will not survive because they compromised and conceded what the Sedevacantists never did.
As always, balanced but accurate, while at the same time using attention keeping colorful language. This is the best analysis of the Newman problem I have encountered. Thank you.
Spot on about Newman. He may not be a “Modernist”, but he fits the “Liberalist” from what I’ve read. They’re not worried about the Seminaries because there are plenty of women who would love to take over and run the whole thing.
Chris I pray you are wrong but I fear you are right however we all have our part to play here. My friend who is a devout and orthodox Catholic was praying in Knock, Ireland where he now lives after Holy mass just when the pope was ‘elected’. He had a vision of Our Lady placing the pope in his hands. Of course he interpreted this as Our Lady intimating that the pope’s fate was down to us…
[from Maryann's husband, Joe]: Please, please, Mr. Jackson, do reconsider matters pertaining to Cardinal Newman. The Modernists do ever freely and deliberately practice historicism; this is by reading backwards into history in terms of imposing their own ideological and related ideas and notions upon past historical figures and intellectual or theological movements. Eventually, even St. Thomas Aquinas will be regarded as a Modernist. by their vile retrogressive method, that smells of deconstructionism galore. How would this process work with Aquinas? Easily. Contemporaries, some of them at least, accused him of being a heretic, ergo, his "revolutionary" or "radical" usage of pagan and non-Catholic sources can then go well with the heretical disaster of VCII, which ought not to be that surprising!
The Modernists, therefore, have grossly misinterpreted and misapplied Newman for their own disgusting ends, but they ought NOT to be allowed to ever get away with this both terrible and extreme distortion. It would have been, moreover, completely antithetical, incommensurate, and inherently contradictory for him to have supported the heresies of VCII; Newman's public rejection of Anglicanism, seen back then as the correct via media by the High Church Protestants, illustrates boldly his both supremely adamant and truly decisive desire for genuine/authentic Catholic orthodoxy. Please then do not let the Modernist fanatics misuse and misinterpret a now declared Doctor of the Church. Please pray about this. Thank you for your kind and appreciated attention!
First read Rundus critique, & thought o no, has Jackson gone off the rails? Then read the perfectly legit piece above, despite me possible disagreements here & there with emphases, regarding Newman himself, about whom: his magnificent prose would be my favorite thing about His Eminence, were it not for the manifest holiness.
Also, the Traditionalists I know are not willing to compromise with anything Novis Ordo. I don’t know what Taylor Marshall is doing these days, he indicates he’s maybe hopeful for Compromise. I’ve heard (with AI who knows?) that Pope Leo said all the formal papers (or whatever they’re called) of Vatican II are fine —it’s an occasional ‘interpretation’ that may be questionable. Fr. James Altman has also said this, but I don’t believe that’s true. There’s two which need to be challenged at least.
The sooner we return to believing in literal SIX Day Creation, the Great Flood, indeed the LITERAL Truth of Genesis, the sooner this monstrous fake religion will disappear.

The Kolbe Center is marvelous. They have a conference this next week with Fr. Lawrence Carney as chaplain. Hugh Owen, the founder, in known to be a very holy man.
Fr. Lawrence Carney is also a very holy man. He has begun promotion of the Holy Face devotion, which was given to a religious, Sr. Mary St. Peter in Tours, France in 1843, to make reparation for the sins of the world – specifically the sins of blasphemy, irreverence, and profanation of Sundays and Holy Days.
From Fr. Carney: "Our Lord warned Sister that the demons would instill some with an aversion toward this devotion. Based on our Lord’s warning, demons may tempt Church members to prevent devotion of the Holy Face of Jesus precisely because it is the most powerful object to fight against modern revolutionary men. (Communists)”
Ohhhhh my goodness Chris!!!! What a relief that I have found your clear writings!!! Thanks be to God!!!
We have to name the darkness in order to live in the light and I so appreciate your doing this!!!
God bless you and thank you so much for standing on the housetop and proclaiming the Truth!
Thank you for reading! Please spread the word!
Well if she ever wants 3 divorces and to contracept she can turn to your schismatic religion.
"If Francis was the storm, Leo is the eye. But make no mistake. The hurricane has not passed."
That's very quotable.
True that. That quote was clear as day; as I live where we understand it perfectly! And, once the eye passes, the worst is going to hit you! St. Athanasius, pray for us.
Sometime a book should come out: The Quotable Jackson: The Wit and Wisdom of Chris Jackson.
Excellent quote!

Excelente comentario . Muchas gracias .
Thanks for cheering us up.
You nailed it. Ambiguity had been the strategy since before VII.
As always, balanced but accurate, while at the same time using attention keeping colorful language. This is the best analysis of the Newman problem I have encountered. Thank you.
Thank you for reading.
Leo seems a link in a chain.
A diabolical Judeo-Masonic chain.
Spot on about Newman. He may not be a “Modernist”, but he fits the “Liberalist” from what I’ve read. They’re not worried about the Seminaries because there are plenty of women who would love to take over and run the whole thing.
Appreciation and blessings from Sydney Australia.

I'd call that a false vision from his own imagination or from the devil.
I’m not sure. He’s pretty discerning..
If he's a V2 catholic, more discernment is needed.

I believe you are on to something. Time will tell. I Pray you are wrong and the Pope is not a Wolf in Sheep Clothing.
