Background information

Greek Hellenism: This term means to put down, to destroy, to dissolve, to dismiss, to abolish, to render useless, to neglect, to bring to an end, and to lodge.

Euripides’ The Trojan Women 1080: “It is this that fills me with anxious thought whether you care at all that my city is destroyed.”

Herodotus’ The Histories 1.104: “The Medes met the Scythians, who defeated them in battle, deprived them of their rule, and made themselves masters of all Asia.”

Demosthenes’ On The Crown 18.82: “For the ambassador who came here from Cleitarchus and Phillistides lodged at your house and you entertained him.”

Old Testament: This term means to invade, to lodge, to abide, to tear down, and to destroy.

New Testament: This term means to disintegrate, to abolish, to throw down, to destroy, and to lodge.

Mt. 5:17: “Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but but to fulfill.”

1. The Law refers to the first five books of the Old Testament, which contain the commandments given to Moses.
2. The Prophets encompass the writings of the prophets which conveyed God’s message to Israel.
3. Jesus indicates this commitment to the Law and the Prophets.
4. Jesus indicates that His life and ministry are the culmination of what the Law and the Prophets anticipated.
5. The New Covenant surpasses the Law. This fulfillment illustrates a deeper realization of God’s redemptive plan for humanity.

Mt.24:2: “You see all these things, do you not? Amen, amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”

1. Jesus is prophesying the destruction of the Temple. Jesus draws attention to the physical grandeur of the temple.
2. Jesus underscores the importance of listening to His words.
3. When Jesus begins the phrase, “Amen, I say to you”, He will begin to make a very important statement.
4. Jesus’ prophesy foretells the complete destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple.
5. Jesus warns against placing trust in physical structures and temporary earthly things.
6. The complete destruction oft he temple signifies the end of the old covenant system on temple worship and sacrifices. This foreshadows a new covenant relationship through Jesus.
7. Interestingly, historical and archaeological evidence indicates that Jesus may have actually spent more time as a stone cutter rather than a carpenter. Jesus stacked, carved, and chiseled stone.

Lk.19:7: “When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, ‘He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner [Zacchaeus].'” (Grumbling reflects a common response to Jesus associating with sinners. Jesus demonstrates His mission to seek and to save the lost. Jesus’ willingness to associate with Zacchaeus challenged the prevailing religious attitudes. Salvation becomes present as result of Zacchaeus’ repentance.)

Jesus associates and stays “loosens (-luo) down” (kata-) with sinners:

1. Jesus associates and welcomes sinners.
2. Jesus calls sinners to conversion. Jesus does NOT tolerate sinful behavior or sinful lifestyles.
3. Jesus forgives and no longer condemns the adulterous women. Jesus tells her to SIN NO MORE. (Jn.8:11)
4. Jesus states that those who follow Him will NOT walk in darkness. (Jn.8:12)
5. Jesus states that those who do NOT follow Him will walk in darkness (Jn.8:12)

Acts 5:38: “Have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.”

1. Gamaliel, a respected Pharisee and teacher of the law, gave some very sound advice, which reflects a cautious and pragmatic approach.
2. Gamaliel, sought to avoid unnecessary conflict. This refers to Prov.21:30 [no wisdom, understanding, or counsel can prevail against God]
3. Human endeavors (traditions), when not aligned with God’s will, are often fleeting, unsuccessful, and failing.
4. Gamaliel’s words suggest that time will reveal the true nature of their mission.
5. Gamaliel’s words are a reminder of the futility of opposing God’s purpose, as seen in the spread of Christianity despite early persecution.

Acts 5:39: “But if it comes from God, you will NOT be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

1. Gamaliel’s words suggest that if the apostles’ mission is truly from God, it will succeed regardless of human opposition.
2. The apostles, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will find their mission divinely ordained.
3. This is a reminder of the futility and danger in opposing God’s work.

2Cor.5:1: “For we know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven.” (The earthly tent refers to our human bodies, drawing upon the temporary nature of a tent. This building from God signifies our glorified body promised to believers. Unlike earthly homes, this is an eternal house in heaven.)

We are all called to be temporary sojourners in this world.

1. Paul reminds us that our bodies are but temporary dwellings in this world.
2. Although we are earthly sojourners, we are citizens and members of the household of God. (Eph.2:19)
3. Our citizenship is in heaven. (Php.2:19)
4. Although we are sojourners, we are called to keep away from worldly desires. (1Pet.2:11)
5. The Vatican II/Synodal Church looks more like a United Nations NGO rather than the Church that Jesus established.
6. Unfortunately, the Church is more focused on SEEKING FAVOR WITH THE WORLD/MOVING WITH THE WORLD rather than on BRINGING SOULS INTO HEAVEN.

Pope Gregory XVI’s encyclical Mirari Vos (1832): refuting the need for a human “restoration” of the Church:

“All truth was daily taught it by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. It is obviously absurd and injurious to propose a certain restoration or regeneration for her [the Church] as though necessary for her safety and health, as is she could be considered subject to defect or other misfortune. These authors of novelties consider that a foundation may be laid of a human institution. That what was a divine thing may become a human Church.”

Vatican II/Synodality introducing human endeavors (traditions) into the Church:

1. Introducing human traditions, sin, lived experiences, inclusion, tolerance, questionable ecumenism, ignoring sin, worldliness, and the “smoke of Satan” (spirit of undermining)
2. Explanations for religion (faith) are narrowly defined by one’s sentiments, perceptions, and lived experiences. Larger supernatural realities are often ignored or minimized.
3. Pope Paul VI and Protestant theologians created a more “Protestant friendly” Novus Order Mass with the focus on the community meal rather than the sacrifice.
4. Introducing and normalizing the originally disobedient practice of receiving the Eucharist in the hand. Removing the altar rails
5. Utilizing so many “extra-ordinary” Eucharist ministers at Mass in the sanctuary. Why are they then still called “extraordinary”?
6. Restricting the Traditional Latin Mass. This is just another way the Synodal leadership can marginalize the laity.
7. Synodality: redefining and blurring vocations/rights between the clergy and laity. Perpetually keeping open the possibility of women priests and women deacons.
8. Synodality: a Synodal study group claimed that homosexuality is no longer considered sinful
9. Synodality: clergy and laity are now BOTH involved in decision-making authority concerning Church doctrine/teachings, vocations, authority, and Church organizational structure.
10. German Synodal Church: a women carrying a monstrance in an Eucharistic procession; a women preaching the homily at Mass. Shocker!

The fruits (actions) from the Holy Spirit:

1. In REACTION AGAINST Synodality and doctrinal ambiguity, an inexorable and organic Holy Spirit inspired movement (inside the Church) has led to a greater movement and desire for Tradition, the TLM, and doctrinal clarity.
2. The younger people (both clergy and laity) are greatly attracted to Tradition. 
3. The TLM (where allowed) continues to thrive. This is in contrast to the tepid attendance at the NO Mass.
4. Traditiones Custodes seems to be the only administrative tool in the “Synodal toolbox” to try to stop the TLM. (Aside from that, they are UNABLE to stop it. Let that sink in! Sounds like inspiration from the Holy Spirit!)
5. More Protestants are now converting to Catholicism because they are discovering Tradition and that the early Church was Catholic. It is NOT because of Synodality!

Vatican II/Synodal Church vs. the SSPX:

1. The SSPX has masterfully pointed out the Modernist/Synodal errors, human traditions, questionable ecumenism, and heresies since Vatican II.
2. At Vatican II, Archbishop Lefebvre and his bishops were excommunicated.
3. And yet the SSPX is still growing strong. The TLM is thriving. (Sounds like inspiration from the Holy Spirit!)
4. Pope Leo now excommunicates the SSPX.

What do you think will happen?  I wouldn’t want to bet against the SSPX, Holy Spirit, and Tradition!

When Archbishop Lefebvre was asked if he was concerned about the SSPX’s future, he said, “I am not concerned; if it is God’s work, it will continue; otherwise, it will disappear.” (These are very timely and prophetic words by Archbishop Lefebvre. The SSPX still has remained!)

My opinion: Perhaps this is part of God’s providence that He is allowing the SSPX to remind all of us how far Vatican II and Synodality has strayed from traditional Catholic teaching!

Conclusion:

Solve, detach, acquit, destroy, dissolve, divert, diversion, denounce, demolish

Update: Sign of things to come with Synodality: The German Synodal Church is continually “reforming” and “renewing” itself into decline and heresy.

The “fruits” of the various versions of modernism feminism: perils and “mine-fields” of dating, declining marriage and procreation, men not showing up in dating women, womens’ skewed work/life balance perspectives, warped views of feminism and masculinity (toxic masculinity), animosity towards traditional marriage relationships

Pope Leo is creating his own human traditions. “People want the Church doctrine to change, want attitudes to change, I think we have to change attitudes before we ever change doctrine.” (Pope Leo is already open to the idea of changing immutable doctrine!)

Catholic traditions: June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Secular human traditions: There has been a significant decline in interest in “Pride Month”. This has been due to changing attitudes.

Tradition and doctrinal clarity provides TRUE REFORM and TRUE REFORM for the Church.

Saints excommunicated by the Church: St. Joan of Arc, St. Mary Mackillop, St. Athanasius, St. Maximus the Confessor

“All novelty in faith is a sure mark of heresy.” St. Vincent of Lerins

“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision. Instead, were are always changing the vision.” GK Chesterton

Quotes by Pope Benedict:

“One cannot free the Church’s magisterial authority at the year 1962, which must be made very to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X.” (Pope Benedict cautions that the SSPX must acknowledge the continuity between Catholic authority before and after Vatican II.) 

“But some of those who present themselves as great defenders of the [Vatican] Council must also be reminded that Vatican II carries with it the entire doctrinal history of the Church.” (Pope Benedicts cautions those who use Vatican II as the sole rule of law in accusing the SSPX in being in schism with the Church.)
