Religious Liberty and the Catholic Faith
an ambiguous term is very useful to the devil.
this term has never been understood in the sense that it supports the Council. All previous documents of the Church who speak of religious freedom understand why freedom of religion and never freedom of religion. Whenever the Church has spoken of this freedom, spoke of freedom of religion and tolerance for other religions. error is tolerated. Give him freedom is a right and the error has none. Only the truth has rights. Support freedom of religion is to give equal rights to the truth than the mistake. This is impossible. The Church can never say such a thing. To my mind, dare to say that is blasphemy. It is against the glory of God for God is truth, Jesus Christ is the truth. Put Jesus in the same plane as a Mohammed or a Luther, what is it blasphemy? If we have faith, we have no right to admit this, is the common error of law was condemned by Pius IX and all the popes.
With religious freedom entered the Council in respect of the term freedom as the French Revolution.
believe that the "Trojan Horse" designed to perform this operation against the Magisterium Church's traditional scheme is inconceivable "religious freedom." Admitted it, all the vigor and full value of the Magisterium of the Church fell mortally wounded in a radical way, as in itself contrary to the teaching of religious freedom.
The Magisterium imposes its truth, morally obliged to accept the subject, deprived of their liberty as moral. No doubt remains his psychological freedom, but the possibility of rejecting the teaching is not given, by itself, the right to reject it. You must believe under penalty of condemnation against freedom.
is to demonstrate great ignorance or pretend that ignorance, not recognizing that all religions except for the true Catholic religion, they bring an entourage of social tasks that are the shame of humanity: one thinks of divorce, polygamy, contraception, and free love as regards the family, think of also in the field of existence same society, in both tendencies that destroy: a revolutionary trend, destructive of the authority, demagogic trend, continuing ferment of unrest, the result of free inquiry, or a totalitarian and tyrannical trend thanks to the union of false religion the State. The history of recent centuries forcefully illustrates this reality.
is therefore inconceivable that Catholic governments are losing interest in religion or support for the principle of religious freedom in the public domain. Would ignore the order of society and the extreme importance of religion in the social field and the fundamental difference between true religion and others in the field of morality, a central element for obtaining a temporary order of the State.
Such is the doctrine taught from sowing in the Church. Gives the company a major role in the exercise of virtue of citizens and thus, indirectly, in obtaining eternal salvation. Every creature has been and still is ordered for that purpose below. The society, family, state, church, each one in his post have been created by God for that purpose. There is no denying that, in fact, the experience of the history of Catholic nations, the history of the Church, the story of the conversion to the Catholic Faith, says the providential role of the state to the extent that they should legitimately claim its role in securing the eternal salvation of humanity is valuable, if not predominant If all the social conditioning unit and the state is secular, atheist, irreligious and even more if the Church is persecuted who dares to say that be easy to become non-Catholics and Catholics remain so? More than ever now, with modern media social communication, social relations that are multiplied, the state has a bigger and bigger influence on the behavior of citizens or their inner and outer life, therefore on his moral attitude, and ultimately on their eternal destiny.
criminal would encourage states to become Catholic laity, to neglect of religion and leave either on error spread and immorality and under the false pretense of human dignity, introducing a solvent leaven of society exaggerated religious freedom, with the exaltation of the individual consciousness at the expense of the common good and in the legitimacy of conscientious objection.
+ Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
"De the muddy source of mana indifference that absurd and erroneous sentence or, rather, madness, which affirms and defends at all costs and for all, freedom of conscience. This pestilential error breaks through, shielded by the immoderate freedom of opinion, to the ruin of the religious society and civil increasingly extends everywhere, arriving at the impudence of some to ensure that it continues to benefit greatly for the cause of religion. And what worse death for the soul than freedom of error! St. Augustine said " - His Holiness Gregory XVI, Encyclical Mirari Vos
