The Bishop of Rome on the role of The Holy Ghost

“We need the Holy Spirit,” he continued, “and the Holy Spirit gives the table a kick, knocks it over and starts over from scratch,” he said.

The Bishop of Rome may think The Holy Ghost is a disrupter who overturns Tradition so "we" can start a new Church but his that a teaching from Tradition?

 Let's take a look at The Roman Catechism:


The Seven Gifts

The Prophet (Isaias), however, enumerates the chief effects which are most properly ascribed to the Holy Ghost: The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety, and the spirit of the fear of the Lord. These effects are called the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and sometimes they are even called the Holy Ghost. Wisely, therefore, does St. Augustine admonish us, whenever we meet the word Holy Ghost in Scripture, to distinguish whether it means the Third Person of the Trinity or His gifts and operations.­' The two are as far apart as the Creator is from the creature. 


The diligence of the pastor in expounding these truths should be the greater, since it is from these gifts of the Holy Ghost that we derive rules of Christian life and are enabled to know if the Holy Ghost dwells within us.

Jesus Christ and his toxic masculinity is feared by The Hierarchy

Apparently that is how Jesus Christ is conceived of by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. They are forever blathering about His compassion and Mercy because they instinctively fear that His Law and His Commands represents toxic masculinity. Toxic is the adjective used by progressive commies to describe masculinity because they hate and fear men. The Prelature fears it may someday actually have to stand before His Judgment Seat and be judged with right judgment and so instead of the masculine Resurrected Jesus Christ that makes professional soldiers cringe in fear the Roman Catholic Prelature (go on, identify one Prelate whose physicality, bearing, truth-telling, and identifiably masculine presence is objectively recognisable) is constrained to lie to itself and us that Jesus Christ is just a poor itinerant preacher or a resurrected version of a merciful  Percy Dovetonsils because the Truth of Jesus Christ is a  truth  tha...

Dies Irae

Image
  Dies irae Day of wrath and doom impending, David's word with Sibyl's blending, Heaven and earth in ashes ending! O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from Heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth! Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. Lo! the book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded. When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! Think, kind Jesus my salvation Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation. Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering bought me; Shall suc...
