Heresy accusation letter, deconstructed
The problem of the open letter is that LifeSiteNews is getting ink at all. The second problem is that the authors are looking not to the 1950s, which was actually the golden age of Catholic influence over social morality, but that they look to the Church of Pope Pius IX (Pio NoNo) and St. Pius X. Their insistence that matters of academic discipline were dogmatic was simply bad epistemology. Grasping for the lost glory of the papal states and establishing a network of informants were not salutary for the life of the Church. Indeed, they led to Vatican II, where such nonsense was repealed.

Veritatis Splendor was an attempt to renew such authority in the Church. It was promulgated in 1993, so it cannot be blamed on the dotage of St. John Paul. It is merely an example of the counter-revolutionary essence of his papacy and its support by the future Pope Benedict XVI. Veritatis was an example of the errors of both the Popes Pius and the errors of Catholic sexual doctrine from the Hellenistic misogyny of the 4th Century, which gave us Sacred Continence and the idea that original sin came through female sexuality right up through Humanae Vitae, bad proof texting on marriage, divorce and marriage equality and its reliance on a natural order morality that is a sophistry rather than a reality.

Without such silliness, including its total ignorance of biblical history and the science of the biology of development and sexuality, the Church would have been required to perform gay marriage in the spirit of Vatican II era. Given what we know now, it still should. It should also go further on divorce, not relying on some superstitious analysis of the reality of a marriage but instead focusing on justice for spouses who are abandoned, abused or victims of adultery or alcoholism. They should be able to remarry at will, with their spouses only able to marry in the Church if released by the offended spouse - and even then only after proof of not only contrition, but treatment as well.

I write much more about all of these encyclicals, as well as the Five Dubya in my book The Illuminati Respond to the Papal Anachronists: Annotated by Michael Bindner  I doubt that any readers of LifeSiteNews will read it. They simply cannot handle the truth.
