The book has nothing to do with the SSPX and does not justify the views of their adherents on this forum.
It is a very good methodological and systematic Thomistic theological application to Vatican II and its aftermath.
Whether or not it justifies the SSPX is irrelevant. Let's talk about the merits of these men and their writings. The fact is, though, this book is another weapon in the traditional arsenal to fight the modernists, and for that reason alone, we all have much to be thankful.
Well, since very few here have actually read it...
I have read most of it and it is a stunning and excellent refutation of most of the post-Vatican II nonsense.
You do realize that the modernist response to anything that actually calls for an honest debate about the state of the Church is going to be a 'trad' bash. Propagandists have been doing this for ages.
Dialogue is a smokescreen. LeFebvre had the dialogue with the deaf for 20 years. He was just the first in line. Eventually anyone who actually points out the reality of the Church situation will be marginalized by the mod squad.
Dialogue is a diversion. There is no such thing as "dialogue" when it comes to truth.
One of the interesting tactics I noticed last week was the "scorched earth" tactics. The more you actually prove that they don't know what they are talking about and the more you post that proves them wrong and sheds light on their fabrications and exaggerations, the more shrill they get.
Eventually they will throw everything including the Kitchen Sink at you in the hopes of getting the thread pulled for being a "flame war". Best not to leave anything that might contain truth in it.
Who died and made you pope?
You're still mad, aren't you?
mad about what? I just wonder why you act like the infallible arbiter of all things Catholic.
You have me mixed up with someone else.
Not unless someone else made post #15. Why don't you spend time doing something productive instead of judging everyone and acting as the absolute authority of Catholicsm.
OK?
A very interesting report. And, from this month's "Atlantic", here is a kind of parallel citation (from a very interesting article on Vladimir Putin): "According to the memoirs of the KGB officer Filipp Bobkov, during Putin's time in the KGB there was a wide-ranging internal discussion 'about how destructive the nihilist attitude toward religion was for the country.'"
Unfortunately another person was going on vacation and asked if he could "please,please" borrow my only copy,responding like any good mother to the word "please", I lent it to him. One year has passed and he still is reading it,slow reader,I guess. In fact,my friends must all be slow readers because no one has returned the book yet. I guess I'll get on my broom and hunt them down. Glad this came up and I remembered that my books are missing.
I wonder if his (Amerio) second book <"Stat Veritas" translated and published in the U.S.,does anyone know? If so ,where can I get it?Thanks.
