Modernism in the Church: a Review of Ireland's Synodal Pathway

Amici,

Someone sent me this link to the Ireland's 'Synodal Pathway' article. I don't see who, exactly, wrote the article, but it is classic Modernist drivel. True, utter, banal, drivel. For example:

"The changes that have occurred in our human understanding in the past fifty years have been staggering. The stunning technological innovations and inventions, the ever-expanding horizons of insight in the sciences be they in physics, the biological sciences, neuroscience, the social, economic, and political sciences, the arts – the list is almost endless. It is the case that both human history and our self-understanding have changed more in the past fifty years than in the whole of previous human history."

Or just take a look at footnote 3, referencing Christianity in Evolution: An Exploration. Ugh!

This is absurd Progressive Church tediousness. The Modernist, Progressive Church wants to be exciting, "with it" and "on the cutting edge" when it is banal hackneyed tripe. They're still singing "The Age of Aquarius", haha.

Of course the physical sciences have advanced, but to where? We're still trying to figure out where, and the unstated but assumed premise is that as we have advanced in those, so we advance equally well in the psychological sciences. And the psychological sciences? What do we really know about the human heart, the human mind, the human soul, that the great philosophers and saints of the past didn't know? The Iliad exhibits more understanding of the human condition than almost all of modern psychology, and Sun Tzu's immortal The Art of War is wiser in "the social, economic, and political sciences" than any post 1960 work, (and most anything post what, pick a date, 1880 or 1900?).  And they were pagan works!

And as for the actual hard sciences, that depends on what scientist we're talking about, and which field. A lot, indeed, has advanced in the hard sciences, to the point where we can realistically establish a self-sustaining colony on Mars. But the reality is the colonists would be the same human beings as back on Earth, with the same sort of strengths and weaknesses all humans have had since the beginning.

Modernism in the Church is founded on the evolution idea transferred from biology to theology: that we are evolving rapidly spiritually. We know so much more than our ancestors did! We are so much more wiser! More insightful! We don't need all their old-codger laws, rules, and strictures! Right. This is why the Church is loaded with sexual deviants, perverts, and predators. The Vat 2 crowd thought they could discard all the old morality because as a Marxist or any typical Modernist "Liberal" or "Progressive" thinks, we humans are basically good. Just let people alone and they'll achieve moral perfection without all the rules, dogmas, and doctrines.

And look where that got them.

So,  yes, we have a "Church" within the Church, and it will have to be driven out. That process has been occurring, in fact, since the Council ended. This false Church is antithetical to the Faith, which is a Revelation of an Unchanging God to His Fallen Creatures, who without participating in His Incarnation, will (and are) falling back to the hideous insanity of Sodom.
