ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON WESBITE PUSHES ASIDE VATICAN COUNCIL II

ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON WESBITE PUSHES ASIDE VATICAN COUNCIL II

The Archdiocese of Boston, USA has made available information on its official website which is not in agreement with the teachings of the Catholic Church. The Ecumenical / Interreligious Affairs Section of the diocese website has the text of Nostra Aetate , Vatican Council II but it comes with a Jewish Left interpretation of Vatican Council IL. Judaism is the ordinary way of salvation for Jews is the clear-false message. This is contrary to the Catholic Magisterium, the Teaching Authority of the Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Also the dialogue is being conducted with only one group of Jews, those who are pro abortion and  homosexuality  and teach syncretism. They do not represent all Jews. The website only refers to ADL, Boston College Center for Jewish Christian Learning, SIDIC and Rabbis who share their ideology.

The articles suggest Catholics should not convert Jews and that Judaism is an equal path to salvation as the Catholic Faith.

There are Jewish Rabbis who have publicly criticized the ADL and have said that they do no object to Catholic Mission and Catholics converting Jews, since they also pray for the conversion of Christians. They also oppose the ADL on the subject of homosexuality and abortion.
(Click on Ecumenical and Inter Religious Affairs of the Archdiocese of Boston website.Then click on
ADL online guide: Nostra Aetate: Transforming the Catholic-Jewish Relationship.(http://www.adl.org/main_Interfaith/nostra_aetate.htm) includes essays by some of the world's leading Jewish-Catholic interfaith experts who analyze the history and significance of Nostra Aetate, (http://www.adl.org/main_Interfaith/nostra_aetate_whatisit.htm) as well as a practical "how-to" guide on teaching the lessons of Nostra Aetate to new generations of Catholics and Jews.

This “Catholic” website mentions that the Jewish Anti-Defamation League‘(ADL) has announced the creation of a new online guide that explains the historic changes in Church theology and provides educational resources in order to teach them. The Archdiocese encourages it. The resources no where mentions that Nostra Aetate does not say that Judaism is a path of salvation. Neither does Nostra Aetate say that Jews in general are saved in Judaism or that Jews do not have to convert. So the educational resources are in error.

The Catholic Church sees salvation among the Jews and Muslims as the extraordinary, exceptional way. This is how Nostra Aetate and Vatican Council II are officially interpreted by the Catholic Church.

The website puts aside Vatican Council II as interpreted by the Church and only what is liked and comfortable is chosen. Nostra Aetate is served without Vatican Council II’s Ad Gentes, the Church’s teaching on Missionary Activity.Ad Gentes 7 says all people need to enter the Catholic Church.

Lumen Gentium 14 says Catholic Faith and Baptism are needed for all. The website holds that non Catholic religions are the ordinary way of salvation.

Ad Gentes 7 Vatican Council II: that all people need to enter the Catholic Church.


Lumen Gentium 14 Vatican Council: Catholic Faith and Baptism are needed for all.


The Decree on Ecumenism ( UR ) 3, Vatican Council II: Catholic Church is the true faith.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church 845: God the Father wants all people to worship Him and to enter the Catholic Church. God the Father wants all people to be united into the Catholic Church.

Notification,N.7, Fr. Jacques Dupuis S.J, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican Prefect: Cardinal Ratzinger: All people need to be oriented into the Catholic Church and to be a part of her .

THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE EUCHARIST

Do the priests and laypersons who maintain the website have the right to celebrate Holy Mass and/or receive the Holy Eucharist?

A Catholic Religious needs to believe in the teaching outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, since it is linked to the Creed (Nicene and Apostles) and the First Commandment. Otherwise the religious has no right canonically to call himself a Catholic. If he is a priest he is not to celebrate Holy Mass or to receive the Holy Eucharist. Extra ecclesiam nulla salus is a dogma of the Catholic Church. To reject a dogma is a mortal sin.

ECCLESIA DEI INDULT

The website is a negative proclamation of the religious in Boston .
Cardinal Castrillion Hoyes former Prefect of the Vatican Ecclesia Dei required all priests who celebrate Holy Mass according to the Tridentine Rite to sign an indult stating that they accept the Catholic Church’s interpretation of Vatican Council II. What about the priests who support the Boston Archdiocese Website and work at the Office for Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue. Do they not have to sign an indult?

Dissent in writing can be checked canonically. The website has it there for all to read.

ME AND MY MOSTRA

For about three months I carried a large board with pro life pictures.
The pictures were from the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and Priests for Life websites.

I would find a carton outside one of the shops and stick the coloured pictures upon it.I would place a cord between the carton so that I could hang it on my shoulder and walk comfortably.
Since I walk a lot and rarely use the public transport this was  ideal for me to get the message across.A live advertisement.
I was really moved seeing the pictures of abortions on the two websites. Unlike the USA there was no pro life activism in Rome.Abortions are done in Italian hospitals for free.
Once a year the Human Life International would have a pro life demonstration alongwith other groups. And the second time in the same year,along with Militia Christi, near the Church over the Tiber river near Trastevere.A few times I joined them at Trastevere and once opposite St.Mary Majors along with other groups but without my board.They have conditions for the posters brought there.
I began my 'operation' at the Church of Santo Spirit in Sassia, near the Vatican.I went there in front of the bus stop and stood there for a few hours in the morning praying my rosary.
I did not consider this a protest or a demonstration. I thought it was educational.
My board said: 'Abortions kill children'  and 'You can have an abortion here'.
Objective! Factual!Nothing more.The photos said everything.
I would walk to church with my 'mostra'(exhibition) and also to the libraries.
I would walk through the Roman Forum and along the main streets of Rome.
I would walk casually not trying to get people to see the mostra.
If someone was interested I would tilt the board.
It was interesting to see the reactions of people. One woman cried. Another felt terrible she said about her son whom she killed.
Another lady came up to me and said that abortions were not like this. She had a few abortions she said. Apparently she was referring to the late term abortion pictures. Young tourists girls quipped among themselves I don't know from where he got the pictures.
At some Churches I was not allowed to bring the mostra inside.Likewise at some libraries.
I lost some mostras to rain.And would make new photo copies of the website pictures.At other times the carton would wear out and so I had to change it.It was cheap since I had only to pay for coloured photo copies of the website pictures.
I think I exposed  those pictures and the message to thousands of people and did it in a very civil and polite way.For many people, including Catholic religious, it was the first time that they saw abortion like it.
I could not get people to accompany me. Even among religious who approved. When I would go to the Angelicum University for Eucharistic Adoration they would ask me to turn my board around.
So I would turn the board around and then go in.

Nothing has changed  here. There are over 1,30,000 Italians killed every year through abortion and the newspapers consider it O.K. But when an Italian is killed in Aghanistan,it is all over the front page and the story is reported for a few days.
