Text of the page (random words):
compassion on you show mercy forever and never chastise you no the greater have been his mercies to you the more you have reason to fear that if you offend him again he will pardon you no more but will take vengeance on your sins say not i have sinned and what harm hath befallen me for the most high is a patient rewarder ecclus v 4 say not i have sinned and have not been punished for though god endures he will not do so forever when the number of mercies which he has resolved to show to the sinner is exhausted he then punishes all his sins together and the longer god has waited for his repentance the more severe will be his punishment says st gregory in evang hom 13 if then o my brother you see that you have often offended god and that he has not sent you to hell you should say the mercies of the lord that we are not consumed lam iii 22 lord i thank thee for not having sent me to hell as i deserved consider how many have been damned for fewer sins than you have committed and labor to atone by penance and other good works for the offences you have offered to god the patience which he has had with you and the great mercies which he has shown to you and not to others ought to animate you not to offend him again but to serve and love him share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x like loading pope st pius x a letter in defense of cardinal newman september 29 2014 october 6 2014 blogmaster leave a comment blessed john henry newman like many nuanced and complex thinkers has the unhappy burden of being misunderstood by just about everybody he dedicated his life to fighting against liberalism in religion becoming one of its most formidable enemies his effectiveness was undoubtedly due in part not only to his powers of persuasion but also to the example he presented as a powerful intellect and evidently liberal in the classic sense meaning free personality devoting itself to the service of dogma catholic dogma if newman is for it there must be something to it nevertheless he was also intellectually satisfying and persuasive assisting the conversions of multitudes to the eternal catholic faith these days however one often finds newman disingenuously adopted by the very same liberals who newman would have eaten for breakfast if he had the opportunity i have long wondered how most of the nation s heterodox newman centers on university campuses get away with the name the only possible explanation is that they know nothing about newman s work beyond perhaps a rude caricature of his theory of conscience at the same time there have always been a number of catholics who have suspected and even accused newman of the very liberalism he condemned and to be honest his critics aren t entirely wrong newman breathed the cultural air of oxford liberalism for much of his life these were the people he was arguing with these were the minds he had to convince and it seems clear that he adopted some of their premises for the sake of common ground we should expect that he shared much of this common ground even without consciously embracing it but i have to maintain that newman s liberalism yes the term is fair if used in context was largely a matter of temperament and process not religion and though it did lead to mistakes in my opinion on balance it did not pose a threat to the integral catholic faith he professed and defended on the contrary newman s thought opened the doors to a perfectly legitimate investigative approach to catholicism that most intellectuals felt was heretofore closed to them would that all catholics were as liberal as newman but don t take my word for it as the result of a brief discussion with a friend this afternoon i found online a letter from pope st pius x himself defending newman against his critics a rebuke not only to traditionalists who revere pope st pius x and revile newman but also to certain liberals for whom newman is the hero and pius x the villain i reproduce the letter here in its entirety letter in which pope pius x approves the work of the bishop of limerick on the writings of cardinal newman to his venerable brother edward thomas bishop of limerick venerable brother greetings and our apostolic blessing we hereby inform you that your essay in which you show that the writings of cardinal newman far from being in disagreement with our encyclical letter pascendi are very much in harmony with it has been emphatically approved by us for you could not have better served both the truth and the dignity of man it is clear that those people whose errors we have condemned in that document had decided among themselves to produce something of their own invention with which to seek the commendation of a distinguished person and so they everywhere assert with confidence that they have taken these things from the very source and summit of authority and that therefore we cannot censure their teachings but rather that we had even previously gone so far as to condemn what such a great author had taught incredible though it may appear although it is not always realised there are to be found those who are so puffed up with pride that it is enough to overwhelm the mind and who are convinced that they are catholics and pass themselves off as such while in matters concerning the inner discipline of religion they prefer the authority of their own private teaching to the pre eminent authority of the magisterium of the apostolic see not only do you fully demonstrate their obstinacy but you also show clearly their deceitfulness for if in the things he had written before his profession of the catholic faith one can justly detect something which may have a kind of similarity with certain modernist formulas you are correct in saying that this is not relevant to his later works moreover as far as that matter is concerned his way of thinking has been expressed in very different ways both in the spoken word and in his published writings and the author himself on his admission into the catholic church forwarded all his writings to the authority of the same church so that any corrections might be made if judged appropriate regarding the large number of books of great importance and influence which he wrote as a catholic it is hardly necessary to exonerate them from any connection with this present heresy and indeed in the domain of england it is common knowledge that henry newman pleaded the cause of the catholic faith in his prolific literary output so effectively that his work was both highly beneficial to its citizens and greatly appreciated by our predecessors and so he is held worthy of office whom leo xiii undoubtedly a shrewd judge of men and affairs appointed cardinal indeed he was very highly regarded by him at every stage of his career and deservedly so truly there is something about such a large quantity of work and his long hours of labour lasting far into the night that seems foreign to the usual way of theologians nothing can be found to bring any suspicion about his faith you correctly state that it is entirely to be expected that where no new signs of heresy were apparent he has perhaps used an off guard manner of speaking to some people in certain places but that what the modernists do is to falsely and deceitfully take those words out of the whole context of what he meant to say and twist them to suit their own meaning we therefore congratulate you for having through your knowledge of all his writings brilliantly vindicated the memory of this eminently upright and wise man from injustice and also for having to the best of your ability brought your influence to bear among your fellow countrymen but particularly among the english people so that those who were accustomed to abusing his name and deceiving the ignorant should henceforth cease doing so would that they should follow newman the author faithfully by studying his books without to be sure being addicted to their own prejudices and let them not with wicked cunning conjure anything up from them or declare that their own opinions are confirmed in them but instead let them understand his pure and whole principles his lessons and inspiration which they contain they will learn many excellent things from such a great teacher in the first place to regard the magisterium of the church as sacred to defend the doctrine handed down inviolately by the fathers and what is of highest importance to the safeguarding of catholic truth to follow and obey the successor of st peter with the greatest faith to you therefore venerable brother and to your clergy and people we give our heartfelt thanks for having taken the trouble to help us in our reduced circumstances by sending your communal gift of financial aid and in order to gain for you all but first and foremost for yourself the gifts of god s goodness and as a testimony of our benevolence we affectionately bestow our apostolic blessing given in rome at st peter s on 10 march 1908 in the fifth year of our pontificate pius pp x share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window

statements of the hierarchy seem to be absolutist in nature and to that extent wholly unreasonable likewise political voices on either side of the debate tend towards an off putting rhetorical excess the left tends to dismiss the legitimate considerations of the state in securing the border and to ignore the economic and social costs of the problem the right tends to ignore the human consequences of any proposed solution while failing to make necessary distinctions between different kinds of illegal immigrants it seems to me that any reasonable policy solution must consider the following realities 1 all nations have the right and the duty to control their borders 2 the best interests of its own citizens is any government s primary concern 3 nevertheless a nation may also have moral obligations to non citizens both inside and outside its own borders those obligations vary according to circumstances 4 the united states has tacitly encouraged and even rewarded illegal immigration for decades millions have come here illegally and made their homes with this understanding it s much like the speed limit in many places governments have a statutory limit on the books but actually enforce something else as a matter of unwritten policy the difference is that in the case of illegal immigration the violators have actually been rewarded by the government the reality of this situation sharply mitigates but does not eliminate the culpability of illegal immigrants 5 in justice then mass deportation of all illegal immigrants is off the table such a solution would be a human catastrophe and a punishment that is disproportionate to the offense 6 at the same time rewarding illegal immigrants with citizenship and other benefits is also off the table such a solution would breed further contempt for the law and would be an injustice to those who came about their citizenship honestly i believe there is a sensible way to make the best of a bad situation first deport illegal immigrants who have shown themselves to be otherwise lawless by their involvement with gangs drugs violence etc that s a slam dunk second allow the rest to apply for a special class of permanent legal residency with the help of a citizen sponsor e g an employer or relative permanent legal residency is not citizenship this particular class would exclude the right to vote and would also exclude the right to certain non essential public services e g higher education subsidies third announce that within 180 days our immigration laws will be strictly enforced and then enforce them finally immigration policy should take into account certain emergencies that may arise such as the unaccompanied children now flooding into the country they should be well treated but with the goal of repatriation or perhaps adoption by qualified american families one can anticipate the objections from both the right and the left many on the right will argue that my suggestion is too soft and continues to reward lawbreakers my reply is that many of these illegal immigrants were acting on the basis of what they understood to be the unwritten policy of the american government the united states bears significant responsibility for the lives of those affected by decades of don t ask don t tell immigration policy many on the left will argue that my suggestion creates second class citizens without certain rights i reply that we already have second class citizenship written into the law for various kinds of people who are denied the rights of full citizenship foreign students children convicted felons etc those who enter this country illegally even if their culpability is mitigated ought to face a penalty of some kind inequality is a fact of life and the law needs to accommodate reality share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x like loading posts navigation older posts blogs i follow rafael de arízaga john g
