Abortion is an intrinsically and inherently evil act. The term "pro-choice" is a euphemism and a misleading term. A sugarcoating for "pro-abortion" for allowing abortion as a choice. Abortion is not a human right because it does not come from God. The same goes for natural law, and abortion is such a violation of natural law.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 defends Sacred Tradition- both oral and written. From the larger context, St. Paul reminded them the one key point that the Gospel and Sacred Tradition comes from God. Sacred Scripture defends Sacred Tradition and are both infallible. Without God, it would be a man-made tradition.

Cardinal Samuel Stritch became Cardinal on February 18, 1946 under Ven. Pius XII. He fought against Communism through spiritual and temporal means. Communism is a dream but not a reality. An ideology that does not hold up to reality nor acknowledge the presence of God.

“A maiden expelled us from paradise, through a maiden we find eternal life.”- St. John Chrysostom

Eve was disobedient, but Our Blessed Mother was obedient. Her Immaculate Conception bore Christ and would lead to the birth of Christ and each plays a role in salvation history.

Yesterday was the 60th anniversary of the end of Vatican 2.

The "spirit" of Vatican 2 is a major problem in two ways:
1. Misinterpreting documents to advance a false agenda and false premises.
2. Causing confusion due to the propagators of a false agenda that is embedded in the consciousness of others.

I propose to use the spirit and the letter and read, interpret, and apply Vatican 2 from the hermeneutic of continuity in the light of tradition. I read the documents, and I can understand why to someone saying such a part is ambiguous.

However, w/o proper context and w/o reading previous documents, it would get more confusing. Yes. There have been implementations that are terrible. I can't deny that fact, but the reactions are nothing new in ecumenical councils if you read and understand their histories.

To the critics. The first three Lateran Councils did not define new doctrines or dogmas either. However, Vatican 2 gets all the blame. That is irresponsible and ridiculous. Then, explain how the first three Lateran Councils are still consider "ecumenical" but not Vatican 2.

Secondly, those three Lateran Councils were ecumenical and disciplinary. Vatican 2 was ecumenical and pastoral. Then, explain why the 1st and 2nd Council of Lyon and Council of Constance did not define new doctrines or dogmas but still are ecumenical councils.

In the time of Advent, it is a time for increased devotion to God: having faith in Him and doing good deeds for Him. Fr.

I address my struggles in the video.
