[Greek] λύω (luō), [Latin] solvere, [Latin] dimittere, [Latin] dissolvere, [French] detacher, [French] acquitter, [French] dispenser: to break, to loose, to untie, to remove, to destroy, to set aside, to dissolve; 46 scriptures
In contrast, Pope Francis and his fellow Modernists seek to set aside Tradition, Church authority, and the concerns of Traditional (conservative) Catholics.
Background information:
Greek Hellenism: This term means to unfasten, to dissolve, to relax, to relieve, to break up, to loosen, to unravel, to give one license to, to slacken, to undue, to solve, and to break an obligation.
Old Testament: This term means to take up, to carry off, to divest, to clear away, to untie, to remove, to destroy, to loose, to unravel, and to separate.
Eliakim (prime minister of David’s kingdom): Eliakim was given the keys (authority) to control access into the temple of David. Eliakim has binding and loosing authority. This authority also includes interpreting and judging rules, laws, obligations, practices, forbidding, and permitting. [Isa.21:15-25]
New Testament: This term means to break (set free), to loose (permit), to untie (loosen), to remove, to destroy, to set aside, to destroy, and to dissolve.
Notable scriptures:
Mt.5:19: Whoever breaks one of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be least in the kingdom of heaven. (These commandments refer to the Mosaic law commandments. During Jesus’ ministry, the kingdom of heaven is already breaking in into the world.)
Mt.16:19: I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you [Peter] bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; whatever you loose shall be loosed in heaven. (Loosing refers to permitting and freeing the law. Binding refers to prohibiting and putting under the law.)
Jn.2:19: “Jesus said to them, ‘Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.'” (The Jews thought Jesus was referring the temple. Jesus refers to Himself as the temple who will be raised in three days.)
Jn.10:35: “If it [the Law] calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside.” (Scripture cannot be made null and void. There is no contradicting or objecting to it.)
Lk.13:16: “This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?” (Jesus’ adversaries show their warped priorities in their actions on the sabbath. They are upset that Jesus would heal a possessed woman on the sabbath. Jesus’ ministry reveals the gradual wresting of Satan’s control over humanity and the establishment of God’s kingdom.)
Acts 24:26: “At the same time he hoped that a bribe be offered him by Paul, and so he sent for him very often and conversed with him.” (A bribe would be used to free Paul.)
1Cor.7:27: “Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek a separation. Are you free of a wife? Then do not look for a wife.” (Paul believed that a single path was the best way to promote the gospel. Being married imposes a necessary and important responsibility [obligation] to a spouse.)
Secular binding and loosing: These actions indicate the power (authority) to hold and to release, dependent on the time and context in history. Binding and loosing can mean placing or releasing a prisoner from prison. Barons and knights often would publicly give their allegiance to their reigning master (king, queen, prince, regent, etc.). The master would have the authority to bind or free the serf.
Loosening standards for Church teachings: permitting subjective situational morality
“When Church doctrine was being created, the concept of homosexuality did not even exist.” Cardinal Holleric. (Pope Francis and his inner circle are seeking to de-stigmatize, rationalize, and normalize homosexuality. POPE FRANCIS’ CONFIDANTE FR. JAMES MARTIN HAS EVEN STATED THAT ST. PAUL GOT IT WRONG ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY. Let that sink in! By not recognizing and acknowledging this sin, these Modernists are essentially making these scriptures null and void!)
Loosening requirements for discipleship: evangelization (proselytization) is now a bad thing.
“We don’t want to convert the young people to Christ or the Catholic Church or anything like that at all.” Bishop Aguiar (This Cardinal-elect evidently seeks to relax (diminish) the importance of evangelization and conversion for accompaniment. So encouraging someone to be Catholic is a bad thing?? This is minimizing the importance of discipleship. So accompaniment is more important than evangelization and conversion. Not surprising for a synodal Church.
“Never, never bring the gospel by proselytizing. If someone says you they are a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, they are not a disciple of Jesus.” Pope Francis (So Pope Francis equates evangelism with proselytism? Does that mean speech should never be used to convince a non-believer of the truths of the Catholic faith? However, this undermines Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nation. So it seems that Pope is also only concerned with accompaniment.)
Loosening requirements for clarity and ideology:
“Mercy above else.” Pope Francis (Relaxing, loosening, and watering down the need for conversion and accountability. Pope Francis believes that ideology can be oppressive and less important.)
“It is a mistake for the Church to try to hold onto old traditions or to have clear answers for everything.” Pope Francis (This is a very disturbing comment. So the Church having clear answers is a bad thing? Pope Francis has intentionally created a mess, confusion, and chaos in the Church.)
Etymology: The Latin verb solvere means to melt, to loosen, to resolve, and to pay. A solution is an issue (problem) being “melted” or “dissolved away”. The Latin verb dimittere means to send away, to let go, and to dismiss. The Latin verb dissolvere means to dissolve and to pay.
The Synod’s efforts to decentralize (loose) doctrinal authority for local bishops:
- This notion could potentially risk seeing the Catholic Church break up into numerous, different, and contradictory bodies.
- This notion would make the Catholic Church look like Protestant churches.
- This would undermine the Catholic Church as One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.
- This would give more power to the bishop’s conferences to define and teach the faith in an inculturated way. (mixing secularism, world values, and paganism with the faith)
- Local episcopal conferences must recognize liturgical, disciplinary, theological, and spiritual expressions of socio-cultural diversity. (adapting the Church to the world)
- Fortunately, there has been widespread laity opposition to these Synod proposals.
Conciliarism: This HERESY was a movement in the 14th-16th Catholic Church which held that supreme authority in Church resided with an ecumenical council apart or against the Pope. This heresy was both condemned by Pope Pius II and Pope Pius VII. The Synod of Synodalities is now seeking to decentralize Church doctrine and authority to the local level.
Final document on the Synod of Synodality:
- Councils [clergy and laity]: given co-equal decision-making authority in determining and decentralizing Church doctrine. (Laity involved in Church teachings: what could ever could possibly go wrong with this??)
- The question of women’s access to the diaconal ministry remains open. (The Vatican continues to succumb to political pressure of women’s rights groups.)
- The text states that papal authority cannot over-rule the joint-concession of assorted consultative bodies. (This is already tying down the Pope’s authority.)
- Listening serves to seek a changing of the Church’s life and governance. (Listening is seeking to democratize Church authority.)
- There is a call to revise Canon Law to mandate the style of decision making shared by the Pope and the consulting bodies.
- This Synod was essentially given the status of a Vatican III!!!! (And this involved the LAITY AND NON-CATHOLICS ! A huge red flag! Just another human innovation!)
Conclusion:
Solve, dissolve, solution, detach, acquit, dispense
It was interesting to discover the more nuanced meanings of this term: to relax, to give one license to, to unravel, to slacken, to solve a problem, and to break an obligation.
Eliakim, David’s prime minister, becomes the precursor to Peter who also receives the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
Update: Amoris Laetitia: opens the door to relaxing (lowering) the standards and requirements for those who could receive the sacraments.
Fiducia Supplicans: permitting non-liturgical blessings for sinful behavior (same-same sex unions).
Panchamama idol in the Mass on the Vatican grounds: mixing pagan elements in the Mass.
Vatican’s LGBT “outreach”: minimizing, ignoring, and de-stigmatizing the sinful nature of homosexuality. Employing false compassion in permitting and ignoring sin.
Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Satis Cognitum’s message:[there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church]: Pope Francis’ problematic and heretical statements about salvation undermines the Catholic Church’s teaching.
Pope Pius X’ Domenici Paschendi Gregis: Pope Pius X correctly predicted that the Modernists would seek to decentralize and democratize doctrinal authority at the local level.
Both Pope Pius II and Pope Pius VII both condemned the heresy of conciliarism.
Vatican II’s efforts exploring women priests and women deacons: After the Vatican II closed this issue [at this time], this has opened up a Pandora’s box of further political pressure for women priests and women deacons.
Vatican II’s naive intentions “to bring fresh air into the Church” has not surprisingly opened to the door to this creeping form of conciliarism. This has given the Modernists further license to double down on the consequences of Vatican II.
Conciliarism has allowed for the creation of “autonomous” non-heretical and heretical groups and conferences: The German Synod and the Synod of Synodalities. Let that sink in!
Giving canonical status and power to ecumenical groups (with LAITY and NON-CATHOLICS involved) is unprecedented in Church history.
Just as expected, Cardinal Cupic and Cardinal McElroy are calling upon the US Catholic Bishops’ Conference to revamp its governance structure to better reflect a synodal Church. Shocker!
Pope Pius X: “The primary duty of charity does not lie in the toleration [permitting] of false ideas.”
