[Greek] ἀναθεωρέω (anatheōreō), [Latin] videre, [Latin] intueri, [German] sehen, [French] voir, [French] considerer, [French] contempler; to behold, to consider carefully, to look again, to examine; Acts 17:23, Heb.13:7
Consider this: What is this Mass to you? As a sacrifice or as a meal? The Traditional Mass presents itself as a sacrifice. It is The Novus Order Mass presents itself as a meal. Vatican II becomes the impetus for the Novus Order Mass. Pope Francis and his inner circle are seeking to remove the Traditional Latin Mass.
Background information:
Greek Hellenism: This term means to examine carefully.
Diodorus Siculus’ Library 12.15: “When the law for the protection of orphans was scrutinized more closely and examined with care, it indicates not only earnest study but also a high claim to regard.”
Plato’s Apology 28b: “You do not speak well, Sir, if you think it is necessary for a man to consider danger of life or death. Rather, he should only consider whether he is doing things that are just or unjust.”
Epimenides was a 6th century seer, philosopher, and poet from Crete.
New Testament: This term means to look carefully, observe, and to reflect upon.
Scripture:
Acts 17:23: “For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered and altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you.” (Paul was appealing to Athenians’ pagan religiosity. Paul points out that this unknown God does not dwell in sanctuaries and does not need to be served by human hands.)
Heb.13:7: “Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.” (The Jewish Christians are called to reflect on and imitate the heroic virtue of their spiritual leaders and teachers who were faithful even until death. The Jewish Christians must strive to follow their example. Even though these leaders have died, there is no cause for one to lose one’s faith.)
Reconsidering the Vatican II:
- The Modernists at Vatican II naively believed that “we needed to bring fresh air into the Church” in order to “reform” and “renew” the Church.
- As a result, liturgical confusion (chaos), declining vocations, poor catechesis, liturgical sacrilege, declining Mass attendance (church closings) occurred.
- As a result, there is has been a continual and steady decline in Catholic faith and belief in the Real Presence (Eucharist).
- The progressive introduction of the practice of receiving the Eucharist in the hands has also led to a decrease belief in the Real Presence.
- Pope Paul VI stated that “the smoke of Satan” (liturgical confusion) has entered into the Church.
- Modernists, blinded by their ideology, claim that the Novus Order Mass “revitalizes”??? when the reality suggests otherwise.
- The Novus Order Mass has turned liturgical worship into a meal, rather than a sacrifice.
Reconsidering the Modernists’ agenda:
- Modernists are seeking to shut down the thriving Traditional Latin Mass (TLM).
- The TLM is not compatible with Church ecclesiology after Vatican II. Therefore, the TLM, “which impoverishes”??? must end.
- Increasing interest in the TLM has become a threat (obstacle) to the Modernist agenda.
- Modernists believe that without liturgical reform, there is no reform in the Church. Because “reform” means “renewal”.
- Modernists believe more “reform” will improve the situation of the Church. When this “reform” does not work, they will “reform” again. ==>rinse and repeat.
- Modernists are confounded as to why people are attracted to the TLM. Modernists are confounded as to why the younger generations of priests and seminarians are more conservative.
- In order to “reform” the German Catholic Church, the German bishops believe that the Church needs to be more secular??
- Pope Francis’ Synod of Synodality seeks to remake Jesus’ Church into a worldly and more democratic synodal Church in the image of man.
- The Modernists agenda is likened to Albert Einstein’s quote, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again.”
Reconsidering how to increase Catholics’ belief in the Real Presence:
- Focus more on Eucharistic processions at the local Church level.
- Construct more Eucharistic adoration chapels rather than Eucharistic adoration chapels inside Church. Allow people to spend time with the Lord before Mass.
- If possible, construct more 24 hour Eucharistic adoration chapels. Vocations reliably result where parishes prioritize Eucharistic adoration.
- Restore and make available the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) for parishioners. This will bring in more Catholics in the pews.
- Display the Eucharist Tabernacle front and center near the altar.
- Bring back kneeling rails for those who like to humbly to receive the Eucharist. Receiving the Eucharist in the hands increases the incidence of Eucharistic sacrilege.
- Minimize the need and use for Eucharistic ministers. This will greatly reduce the incidence of Eucharistic sacrilege.
- Allow only ordained clergy and ministers to remain in the sanctuary. This will enable the laity to better appreciate the sanctuary area.
- Allow only ordained clergy and ministers to administer the Eucharist to the congregation.
Reconsidering the Marian apparitions in light of new approval guidelines:
- There is now greater attention to the matter of whether or not if the Marian message of Akita should be approved.
- Cardinal Ratzinger, as former head of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith, has stated that the message of Akita is essentially the same message of Fatima.
- There is a concern that the message of Akita may not be approved by the Vatican.
- A primary consideration may involve whether such considerations may cause the faithful to have mistrust in the Vatican authorities in Rome.
- A primary consideration may involve whether an apparition message could cause Church division.
- The Marian messages of Fatima and La Salette, which prophesied division and evil influences within the Church, have already been approved.
- The question remains: “Will the Vatican approve the message of Akita, because it aligns with the message of Fatima?”
- The question also remains: “Will the Vatican not approve the message of Akita, because it would cause ‘division in the Church and ‘incite mistrust’ in the Vatican authorities?”
- Potential Vatican reluctance to approve the message of Akita: this would incriminate the authority in the Church.
Reconsidering changing the Church structure- deconstruction of sacred consecrated priesthood and hierarchy:
- Hans Kung wanted a Church where the laity would have the same voting rights as bishops and priest as early as the 1960s. He had already seen the church synodally as a conciliar Church.
- It is easy to see how laity and clergy appear in synodal assemblies and committees.
- Priest functions are already being downgraded. Lay people are already jumping into the places that the priests have vacated.
- In some places the Holy Mass is being desacralized into a group experience and themed service. Lay people administer communion. Unseen priests consecrates the hosts beforehand.
- Some women are bureaucratized to do what a cleric did. The woman becomes less feminine, sharing in the power of men in the Church.
- The layperson wants to do everything like the priest. The layperson also loses his identity in the Church.
- Women, seeking power in the Church, seek to become deaconesses and potentially women priests. These potentially positions will most likely become un-ordained roles.
- When did the source of this problem originally begin? We have had the wrong Church structure 60 years ago ==> Vatican II.
Etymology: The prefix ana- means again and also signifies intensity. The Greek base verb theoreo means to view or to behold. The Latin verb videre also means to consider, having a much deeper sense than just seeing. The Latin verb video means I see. The French verb considerer, derived from the Latin verb considerare, literally means to observe the stars (sidera). The French verb contempler, derived from the Latin verb contemplare, literally means to mark out a space (temple) for observation.
Conclusion;
Video, see, voyeur, intuition, consider, consideration, contemplate, contemplation
Throughout history, this term consistently pertains to considering or reflecting upon important or serious matters. Plato’s quote pertains to how one should live one’s life (unjust or just).
Paul deeply reflects in appealing to the Athenians’ religiosity in their belief of the divine. Paul states that they unknowingly worship that Unknown God. The pagans also often built shrines and monuments to the unknown gods who caused calamities.
The Jewish Christians are called to reflect on how their deceased spiritual leaders and teachers remained faithful even to death. The Jewish Christians are also called to imitate their example.
Update: Archbishop Lefebvre was quite prophetic in seeing consequences of Vatican II. He foresaw that Vatican II has veered off from Tradition and the traditions of Jesus’ Church.
Archbishop Lefebvre foresaw the differences of the Traditional Latin Mass (sacrifice) and the Novus Order Mass (meal).
As Catholics, we all must reconsider the consequences of Vatican II. As a result of “bringing in fresh air into the Church,” this council has devastating spiritual consequences: increased sacrilege, less vocations, decreased Mass attendance, poor catechesis, liturgical confusion and chaos, human innovations, and increased worldly and evil influences in the Church.
We all must reconsider that the messages of La Salette, Fatima, Akita, and Marian (message of the Lady Good faith) are actually coming true in regard to the state of the Church.
How does the Vatican and the German Church respond to the problems in the Church? By becoming more like the world! Yet, more people are walking away from the Church.
We all must reconsider that the Vatican’s efforts to promote woman deacon is resulting from the Vatican bowing down to womens’ political power (rights) in having more authority in the Church.
We all must reconsider that Modernists seek to find and define religion, faith, and doctrine inside themselves (through subjective religious sentiment) to continually reform and renew the Church.
We all must reconsider that Modernists seek to reform and renew the Church through more reform and renewal ==> rinse and repeat
We all must reconsider that Pope Francis seeks to finish what Vatican II intended to do? More spiritual genocide to the Church!
