[Greek] ἐκκλείω (ekkleiō), [Latin] excludere, [German] fernhalten: to shut out, to exclude, to eliminate, to not allow; Rom.3:27, Gal.4:17
Traditiones Custodes continues to marginalize traditional Catholics. These actions speak more about the Synodal leadership’s animosity and ideology.
Background information:
Greek Hellenism: This term means to shut out, to exclude from, to hinder, and to prevent.
Euripides’ Orestes 1127: “We will shut them up in different parts of the house.”
Herodotus’ The Histories 1.144: “The Dorians forbid admitting any of the neighboring Dorians to the Triopian temple, and even barred them from using it those of their own group who had broken the temple law.”
Demosthenes On the False Embassy 19.26: “You were precluded from learning the truth promptly and being cheated by hopes, impostures, and vain reassurances.”
New Testament: This term means to not allow and to exclude.
Scripture:
Rom.3:27: “What occasion is there for boasting? It is ruled out. On what principle that of works? No, rather on the principle of faith.” (People cannot boast of their holiness, achievements, or status. Salvation is a gift from God, not from human effort or merit. Works can be a manifestation of faith. A faith without works is a dead faith.)
Gal.4:17: “They show interest in you, but not in a good way; they want to isolate you, so that you may show interest in them.” (Paul had become like an enemy to the Galatians. The Galatians were being influenced by Judaizers undermining Paul’s authority. Evildoers wanted to isolate them from God’s blessings.)
- The Judaizers, Jewish Christians, insisted that the Gentiles must adhere to Jewish law.
- The zeal was not for the Galatians’ spiritual well-being, for rather for the Judaizers’ own agenda.
- This highlight the misguided enthusiasm which can lead believers away from the truth of the Gospel.
- Paul warns of false apostles who disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.
- The ultimate goal of the Judaizers is to win the Galatians’ allegiance, but not to Christ.
- This reflects a broader biblical warning against idolatry and allegiance to anything other than God.
[Greek] κλείω (kleiō), [Latin] claudere, [Latin] cludere, [French] clore: to shut, to shut up, to close, to block, to lock, to have no pity
Mt.23:13: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the kingdom of heaven before human beings. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter.”
- This illustrates the scribes’ and Pharisees’ refusal and inability to exercise their authority and teaching power.
- The scribes and Pharisees have the key (control and access to the knowledge of heaven).
- The scribes and Pharisee reject Jesus by refusing to state the the right interpretation of the prophecies of the Messiah.
- They teach human traditions and false doctrines of the Messiah.
- They teach that Jesus was an imposter. They restrict the truth of Jesus.
- They discourage the preaching of the gospel.
[Greek] ἀποκλείω (apokleiō), [Latin] cludere, [Latin] excludere: to shut completely, to shut up, to close fully
Lk.3:25: “As the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, they will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know know where are you from.’”
- The master of the house represents God or Christ, who has authority over the kingdom of heaven.
- The door is shut to those who are unprepared to enter into heaven.
- Many will try, but few will enter.
- This is a sobering reminder that mere association with religious activities and acknowledgement of Christ is insufficient without true faith and obedience.
WBNA’s woke ideology in excluding women’s rights:
- The bylaws states that only a woman can participate. But they do not state or cannot state what a woman is.
- By opening the door to allowing transgenders to compete with woman, the WBNA is putting women’s safety at risk on the court and in the locker room.
- Fairness sometimes require exclusion because absolute inclusion can violate group safety and fairness.
- Fairness is giving all people the treatment they earn and deserve. It doesn’t mean treating everyone alike. (Coach John Wooden)
- Fairness does not mean everyone gets the same. Fairness means everyone gets what they need. (Rick Riordan)
- The WBNA refuses to separate woke ideology (inclusion) from biological reality.
Etymology: The related Greek noun ekklesia means a particular body or whole body of faithful people. Essentially, these people are called out.
Conclusion:
Exclude, exclusion, ecclesia, ecclesiastic, halt
Demosthenes: makes reference to censorship and content moderation
Aeschines: makes reference to “snowflakes” who cries at a person’s name
Update: Pope welcomes sodomite, communists, pro-abortion celebrities, female schismatic archbishops, Freemasons, but excludes the SSPX and marginalizes traditional Catholics (no TLM).
The German Synodal Church continue to test Vatican II’s authority in “pushing the doctrinal envelope” in their Synodal “reforms.” Do you really think that Pope Leo will criticize, exclude, or excommunicate these German bishops? No! Pope Leo will continue to remain silent. Silence ===> tacit acceptance
Stealth Arianism: believing that Jesus is God, but excluding God by their own actions.
- The Arian heresy was rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ was merely a created being.
- Modernism, the heresy of our times, quite often views Jesus Christ as merely an historical figure.
- Modernism is related to practical atheism, which is paying lip service to Jesus Christ and the Church’s teachings.
- Religion is often reduced to one’s lived experiences. Teachings are muddled, ambiguous, inclusive for purposes of pastoral sensitivity.
- Supernatural realities and sacred elements are often stripped from art, music, architecture, and liturgy.
The WBNA’s woke ideological failure to clearly define a women continues to marginalize and exclude women’s rights and safety. This is absurd!
Fighting absurdity with absurdity: Two former NBA players who are identifying as women are now planning on entering the 2027 WNBA draft.
The Synodal Church leadership, more concerned with promoting their Synodal ideology, continue to control access to the TLM through Traditiones Custodes.
The Synodal Church, accommodating the culture, continue to minimize, rename, and undermine Catholic Church teachings.
The Synodal Church, focused more on listening and lived experiences, discourage preaching of the gospel (making disciples and bring souls into heaven).
Massachussets gov. Maura Healy just signed a bill legalizing abortion up until birth. This is what it means when the baby has no rights at all. Shameful!
“Fairness is giving all people the treatment they earn and deserve. It doesn’t mean treating everyone alike.” John Wooden
“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know the reason why it was put up.” GK Chesterton (There are reasons why boundaries are put up.)
