Episode notes
Relativism And New Pelagianism Undermine The Church
- Relativism and a 'new Pelagianism' are root causes of the Church's present crisis, eroding belief in unchangeable truth and the supernatural order.
- Bishop Athanasius Schneider says this leads to doctrinal, moral, and liturgical confusion that must be diagnosed and healed.
Recover Conviction In Unchangeable Truth
- Regain conviction that truth is unchangeable and re-center Christian life on the supernatural end: heaven and grace.
- Priests and laity should emphasize doctrine, sacramental life, and teach that truth gives freedom, conviction, and lasting joy.
Restore Liturgical Peace And Christocentric Worship
- Restore liturgical peace by granting equal rights and full citizenship to the traditional Latin Mass alongside the Novus Ordo.
- Prioritize clarity in doctrine and reform worship to be Christocentric rather than anthropocentric before evangelizing.
