Integralism

(Coronation of King Charles VII of France at the Cathedral of Rheims, July 17, 1429AD, in the presence of St. Joan of Arc, painting by Jules Eugene Lenepveu.)

I Am Astonished To See This. The Author Demonstrates Absolutely Zero #IntellectualRigor In Isolating The Tenets Of #Integralism That He Purports To Object To. But, More Importantly, This Article Is So Breathtakingly Heresy, I Can't Believe It. The Author Is Also Either Intellectually Dishonest, Or Blitheringly Incompetent: He Suggests That The Catholic Doctrine Of #ConfessionalStates Originated At About The Time Of #PopeStPiusX! And He Adds Icing To His Concoction Of Heresy By Trotting Out The Old #AntiCatholic Chestnut Of "But There Were BadAndImmoralPopes!" #NoPopery By Fr #HubertThurston.

Statism Masquerading As Integralism Is Still Not Integralism. Integralism Is Catholic Doctrine, Flowing From Unabrogated Parts Of The Old Testament, Mandating ConfessionalStates & Was Always Taught By The Catholic Church Over The Last 2000 Years; Integralism & Subsidiarity Are Both Taught By The #HolyBible #OldTestament «Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.» Proverbs xi, 14, & «Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.» Proverbs xv, 22.. Subsidiarity Is An Integral Part Of Integralism. Integralism Is Not An Opinion, It Is Doctrine & Dogma Of The One Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church: "Papocracy," UnamSanctam, SynodOfVerona, AdAbolendam, CumExApostolatusOfficio, RegnansInExcelsis, InterCetera, Etc., Etc. It Chartered The Portuguese & Spanish Ages Of Exploration & World Empires. And True Catholic Integralism Is Not Statist, Authoritarian: In Matters Of Both Church & Civil Governance, Catholicism Has Learned, & Recognized, & Incorporated Political Pluralism. The Ottonian Roman Empire Was Headed By The Emperor Who Was Also Head Of All Catholic Christendom, And Included Monarchial & Truly Autonomous Republican SubStates, Until The Treaty Of Westphalia, Such As The Republics Of Venice & Genoa, The Republican Hanseatic League & The Republican Swiss Confederation, Etc. The Heresy Isn't Integralism, The Heresy Is Monarchism, Born From The Renaissance, When Pagan Ideas Were Revived, & Began As Caesaropapism, & Culminated In Westphalia's Deification Of Statism Under "#CuiusRegioEiusReligio!" Statism Created "Anglicanism," Pombalism, Josephinism, The Falsely So-Called "French Revolution," World Wars 1&2.

The author Pertinaciously, Mendaciously, violates the authoritative & disciplinary provisions of the Syllabus of Condemned Errors, issued by Pope Pius IX, and of Satis Cognitum issued Pope Leo XIII, both being statement or reiterations of DivineLaw. 

The author also violates the teachings of the Catholic Church as she has authoritatively taught it over the last 2000 years, not just as reiterated by Pope Paul IV in his Apostolic Constitution CumExApostolatusOfficio, by heretically affirming that the last 7 Apostate Apostasiarchs Antipopes of the schismatic, Heretic and formally Apostate RomanProtestant sect of Roncallitism AKA VaticanTwoism AKA NovusOrdoism, such as the current incumbent Apostasiarch Antipope, the Sicilian Apostate layman & fraudster & mafiosi, Roberto Martinez "Prevost" Riggitano who I sarcastically call "PopeStLeoXIV," are "Catholic Popes"!

Thereby, the author demonstrates that he a total stranger to the Catholic faith!

Obedience To A Pope

Do Catholics Owe Blind Obedience To The Pronouncements Of A Pope, Real, Or Putative?

MAGISTERIUM

PROLOG

"Not to oppose error is to approve it; & not to defend truth is to suppress it, &, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men — when we can do it — is no less a sin than to encourage them" — Pope St. Felix III. 

"In our time more than ever before, the chief strength of the wicked lies in the cowardice & weakness of good men.... All the strength of Satan's reign is due to the easy-going weakness of Catholics" — Pope St. Pius X, Dec. 13, 1908.

"The preservation of the faith & the salvation of souls are the supreme law of the Church" - Pope Pius XII, Address to the Roman Rota, November 2, 1944.

OTHER

"Although it is evidently established by you that Peter is a heretic, you are not bound to denounce him...." — Error Condemned by Pope Alexander VII, Denzinger 1105.

The Third Council of Constantinople: "If any ecclesiastic or layman shall go into the synagogue of the Jews or to the meeting-houses of heretics to join in prayer with them, let them be deposed & deprived of communion. If any bishop or priest or deacon shall join in prayer with heretics, let him be suspended from communion."

"...where the power to command is wanting, or where a law is enacted contrary to reason, or to the eternal law, or to some ordinance of God, obedience is unlawful, lest while obeying man, we become disobedient to God" - Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Libertas Præstantissimum, June 20, 1888.

CONSENSUS OF THEOLOGICIANS

"He who does evil because he has been commanded does not perform an act of obedience but rather of rebellion; he upsets the order: he neglects obedience to God in order to obey men" — St. Bernard of Clairvaux, The Complete Works of St. Bernard, Charpentier, Book I, Ep.VII.

St. Thomas Aquinas: "When there is a proximate danger for the faith, prelates must be questioned even publicly by their subjects."

"Disobedience is not schism, no matter how obstinate it is, for as long as it does not contain a rebellion against the authority of the Pope or of the Church" — St. Thomas of Aquinas, Summa Theologica, IIa IIae, Q.39, A.1 ad.8.

St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, II, 30: "... for men are not bound, or able to read hearts; but when they see that someone is a heretic by his external works, they judge him to be a heretic pure & simple, & condemn him as a heretic."

"The declared enemies of God and His Church, heretics and schismatics, must be criticized as much as possible, as long as truth is not denied. It is a work of charity to shout: 'Here is the wolf!' when it enters the flock or anywhere else — St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life

"Peter has no need of our lies or flattery. Those who blindly and indiscriminately defend every decision of the supreme Pontiff are the very ones who do most to undermine the authority of the Holy See — they destroy instead of strengthening its foundations" — Melchior Cano, Theologian of the Council of Trent.

"The heresy which is now being born, will become the most dangerous of all: the exaggeration of the respect due to the pope & the illegitimate extension of his infallibility." — Fr. Le Floch, Rector, French Seminary, Rome, 1926. (Fr. Henri Le Floch, 1862–1950, was a French Spiritan priest who served as the rector of the Pontifical French Seminary in Rome from 1904 to 1927).

"To adhere to a false Bishop of Rome is to be out of communion with the Church" — Saint Cyprian of Carthage, rejecting the claims of the Novatian & Donatist Antipopes in Rome.

"Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, & right is right even if nobody is doing it" — St. Augustine of Hippo.

"Finally, one cannot consider as schismatics those who refuse to obey the Roman Pontiff because they would hold his person suspect or because of widespread rumors, doubtfully elected" — Wernz-Vidal, Canon Law Commentary, Iuris Canonicum, Rome, Gregorian Univ., 1937, Vol. II, p. 398.

NON-CATHOLIC SOURCES

"At one point in the Church's history, only a few years before Gregory Nazianz’s present preaching (+380 A.D.), perhaps the number of Catholic bishops in possession of sees, as opposed to Arian bishops in possession of sees, was no greater than something between 1% & 3% of the total. Had doctrine been determined by popularity, today we should all be deniers of Christ & opponents of the Holy Spirit.… In the time of the Emperor Valens (4th century), Basil was virtually the only orthodox Bishop in all the East who succeeded in retaining charge of his see… If it has no other importance for modern man, a knowledge of the history of Arianism should demonstrate at least that the Catholic Church takes no account of popularity & numbers in shaping & maintaining doctrine: else, we should long since have had to abandon Basil & Hilary & Athanasius & Liberius & Ossius & call ourselves after Arius!" — Fr. William Jurgens.
