Most "Holy" Family Monastery…A doctrine of Ambiguity, Condemnations
and Haste
(A Letter by Mr. Patrick Walsh of Waterford City, Ireland - Fall 2007 A.D.)

*Even the most simple-minded of Catholics knows that "to privately interpret the Bible" is not Catholic- but is Luther's "religion" [heretical Protestantism].
"Some, putting aside her [The Church's] true interpretation of Sacred Scripture, are blinded in mind by the father of lies. Wise in their own eyes, according to the ancient practice of heretics, they interpret these same Scriptures otherwise than the Holy Spirit demands, inspired only by their own sense of ambition, and for the sake of popular acclaim, as the Apostle declares. In fact, they twist and adulterate the Scriptures. As a result, according to Jerome, 'It is no longer the Gospel of Christ, but a man's, or what is worse, the devil's.'
(Condemning the Errors of Martin Luther [Exsurge Domine], Papal Bulla of Pope Leo X, June 15, 1520 )
Dear
Brothers Peter and Michael, I am writing this letter as a matter of conscience,
in order to address certain issues you have theoretically proposed pertaining
to matters concerning the faith. Hopefully
you will realise you have made a grave error in
promoting doctrines that are not at all in keeping with Divine Revelation as
proposed by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
You
may be acting out of sincerity, trying to stand up for the faith, however your
efforts are misguided by your own interpretation of Christian doctrine, which is a mistake I
myself fell into when I proposed your material to others and believed you were
infallibly correct. Having studied the
teaching of the Church in more detail I have come to a better understanding of
my faith, knowing you to be in grievous error which I will endeavour
to persuade you to listen to, and at the same time provide you with sound sense
and crystal clear doctrine, which leaves no room for ambiguity. In light of my
studies and in the most charitable sense I pray to God that the truth will
unfold and the merciful God will open your eyes.
Brothers
Peter and Michael, I sincerely hope you will not start our dialogue by calling
me a heretic, but will instead accord me the same courtesy I will offer you by
debating the subject matter at hand, remembering that virtue is patience, while
the truth is being sought. It is not very prudent or Catholic for that matter
to call someone a heretic when you yourselves are wrong, even if you don’t know
it. These are all mistakes and can be undone with humility and Catholic
teaching; however let us get to the issues at hand.
My
first condemnation on your theory of Baptism of Desire lies in the fact that St.
Augustine has already upheld this to be a fact and even gives an example of
such by stating that if a person were to become a catechumen and had vowed to
become a Catholic, he would be saved if some unforeseen event prevented him
from doing so, and baptism would be supplied by desire. This is also upheld in
the 1917 Code of Canon Law.
Before
I give you the evidence, I take this opportunity to make you aware of the
paramount importance of the writings and teachings of the Doctors of the Church
which are upheld in the decrees of the Magisterium.
What the Doctors teach we are obliged to obey as they have been sanctioned by
the Church. If not! ... there’s no point in having any Doctors at all. Nor can we
pick and choose what is to our own liking, putting our own spin and
interpretation on whatever we decide, period. Not everyone that says Lord, Lord
is saved; unless they adhere to the Church and those who were given the power
to edify the faithful. Imagine meeting
Our Lord when we die and having to confront Him with the issue of the ones He
ordained to teach us the faith? How will God react do you think, when He asks
us the question as to why we did not believe what the Holy Doctor Augustine has
declared as the teaching of the Church on Baptism of Blood and Desire AND is
listed into the annotations of 1582 version of the Douay Rheims by Holy Mother Church for our
edification and Catholicity. You will probably say something totally
ridiculous, like: “I didn’t believe him Lord, or I wasn’t sure, or I was
standing up for the faith” or maybe another million concoctions!
Our
Lord will surely say, “You foolish man!
Did I not send you the Popes and Holy Doctors and Saints to teach and preach;
what is the point of sending you teachers if you won’t believe? If you believed
what they had told you, there would be no wrong in you, however since you have
chosen your own doctrine, then you have also chosen your own fate, be-gone from
me into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”
My
dear brothers, here is the teaching of Augustine on Baptism of Desire in the
1582 version of the Douay Rheims, which you don’t have, to provide proper
instruction on the teachings of the Church. This version is from the true
original which was never properly introduced into the public forum because of
persecutions to the Church at that time.
Its scriptural text and annotations are very clear and cannot be denied
at the expense of being obstinate. The Holy Doctors (in this case St. Augustine)
make it clear cut, giving no authority to any individual to manipulate his
words.
If
you purchase The Book of Destiny by
Father Kramer (1955) you will find
that in his thirty years study - his explanations of scripture are precisely in
keeping with this version - which has been redeemed from a museum and carefully
translated directly from St. Jerome. It must be noted that not many individuals
have this priceless gem. If you wish I will give you information that has come
to light on the corrupt sources of the Challoner and Haydock versions which were imbued by protestant theology
under Henry VIII and his dominions. The proofs of validity presented in these
volumes present an opportunity for you to gain access and get closer to the
truth, if that is what you really desire. It also presents an opportunity for
you to face the difficulties which will arise from the fountain of knowledge
that I present to you. Telling people that you have changed your stance in the light of such information would show
you up in a good light. People might
view this as an act of inner strength and draw admiration instead of severe criticism
and condemnation.
Below
is the first piece of absolute proof which you must accept remembering that the
Church has upheld the teachings of St.
Augustine (Pope
St. Hormisdas “sicut
ration”i and Pope
St. Gelasius in his decretal
on the “Authority of the Fathers”)…. May God give you strength to make the
right decision, keeping firmly in mind that it is an act of love and humility
in honour of the Omnipotent God to tell people you made
a mistake. Dear Brothers, I have made many mistakes - believing that God does not
condemn us for our mistakes, however, what I do believe, is that He does
condemn us for our obstinacy…. I pray you will look at the bigger picture and
think of the great works you could achieve with the right application; I will
pray sincerely that God will direct your hearts to make the right choice.

Annotations (1582 A.D. version of the Douay Rheims Bible)
Chapter
3
5. Born again of Water.] As no man can enter into this world nor have his life
and being in the same, except he be born of his carnal parents: no more can a
man enter into the life and state of grace which is in Christ, or attain to
life everlasting, unless he be born and baptized of water and the Holy Ghost.
Whereby we see first, this Sacrament to be called our regeneration or second
birth, in respect of our natural and carnal which was before. Secondly, that
this sacrament consisteth of an external element of
water, and internal virtue of the Holy Spirit: Wherein it excelleth
John's baptism, which had the external element, but not the spiritual grace.
Thirdly, that no man can enter into the Kingdom
of God, nor into the fellowship of Holy Church,
without it.
Whereby the *Pelagians, and
Calvinists be condemned, that promise life everlasting to young children that
die without baptism, and all other that think only their faith to serve, or
the external element of water superfluous or not necessary: our Saviour's words being plain and general.
Though in this
case, God which hath not bound his grace, in respect of his own freedom, to
any Sacrament, may and doth accept them as baptized, which either are martyred
before they could be baptized, or else depart this life with vow and desire
to have that Sacrament, but by some remediless necessity could not obtain it.
Lastly, it is proved that this Sacrament giveth grace ex
opere operator,
that is, of the work itself (which all Protestants deny) because it so breedeth our spiritual life in God, as our carnal birth giveth the life of the world.
18. Is
judged already.] He that believeth in Christ with
faith which worketh by charity (as the Apostle speaketh) shall not be condemned at the later day nor at
the hour of his death. But the
Infidel, be he Jew, Pagan, or Heretic, is already (if he die in his
incredulity) by his own profession and sentence condemned, and shall not come
to judgment either particular or general, to be discussed according to his
works of mercy done or omitted. In which sense St. Paul saith
that the obstinate Heretic is condemned by his own judgment, preventing in
himself, of his own free will, the sentence both of Christ and of the Church.
31. He
that cometh from above.] As though he
should say, No marvel that men resort to Christ so fast and make less account
of me, for, his baptism and his preaching and his person are all from heaven
immediately. He bringeth all from the very bosom,
mouth and substance of God his Father. Whatsoever is in me,
is but a little drop of his grace. His spirit and graces are above all
measures or men’s gifts, even according to his Manhood: and all power
temporal and spiritual, the kingdom and the Priesthood, and all sovereignty
in heaven and earth are bestowed upon him as he is man also.

St. Emerentiana: Approved Saint and Martyred Catechumen
of the Catholic Church
Saint Emerentiana: Those familiar
with the traditional Breviary (dropped from the Novus Ordo
'missals') will know the story of this virgin and martyr who Holy Mother
Church has had Her religious commemorate on a yearly basis for some
1800
years. Let us quote the Breviary
directly:
“Emerantiana, a Roman virgin, stepsister of
the blessed Agnes, while still a catechumen, burning with faith and charity,
when she vehemently rebuked idol-worshippers who were stealing from Christians,
was stoned and struck down by the crowd which she had angered. Praying in her
agony at the tomb of holy Agnes, baptized by her own blood which she poured
forth unflinchingly for Christ, she gave up her soul to God.
Virgin and martyr, d. at Rome in the third century; The old Itineraries
to the graves of the Roman martyrs, after giving the place of burial on the Via
Nomentana of St. Agnes, speak of St. Emerentiana.
Over the grave of St. Emerentiana a church was built which, according to the
Itineraries, was near the church erected over the place of burial of St. Agnes,
and somewhat farther from the city wall. In reality Emerentiana was interred in
the coemeterium majus
located in this vicinity not far from the coemeterium
Agnetis. Armellini believed
that he had found the original burial chamber of St. Emerentiana in the former coemeterium. According to the legend of St. Agnes, Emerentiana
was her foster-sister. Some days after the burial of St. Agnes, Emerentiana,
who was still a catechumen, went to the grave to pray, and while praying she
was suddenly attacked by the pagans and killed with stones. Her feast is kept
on 23 January. In the "Martyrologium Hieronymianum" she is mentioned under 16 September,
with the statement: In coemeterio maiore.
She is represented with stones in her lap, also with a palm or lily.”
St. Thomas Aquinas….Approved Doctor of the Catholic Church
Q. Can the Baptism of blood, or the Baptism of desire, take
the place of the Baptism of water?
A. Yes, the Baptism of blood, which is martyrdom and figures the
Passion of our Blessed Lord, and the Baptism of desire, which consists in an
act of the love of God through the action of the Holy Ghost, can both take the
place of the Baptism of water; but in this sense, that the grace of Baptism can
be obtained without the reception of the sacrament itself when this reception
is impossible; but not in the sense that the character of the sacrament can be
received apart from the sacrament itself (LXVI. n). Pope Urban V……POPE of the Catholic Church ...Teaching authority to be obeyed by all - regarding the Angelic Doctor (St. Thomas Aquinas): "We command you to follow the doctrine of St. Thomas as the Catholic doctrine, and study to embrace it with all your power." (Pope Urban V, letter to the Academy of Toulouse)
Pope St. Leo… Christ's VICAR of the Catholic Church:
Wherefore Pope Leo says (Epist.
xvi): "Those who are threatened by death, sickness, siege,
persecution, or shipwreck, should be baptized at any
time." Yet if a man is forestalled by death, so as to have no time to
receive the sacrament, while he awaits the season appointed by the Church, he
is saved, yet "so as by fire," as stated above (2, ad)
Pope St. Leo the Great, A.D. 461
“Those whom the wicked king removed
from this world were brought to heaven by Christ, and He conferred the dignity
of martyrdom on those upon whom He had not yet bestowed the redemption
of his blood.” (In Epiph, 1,3)
Pope Saint Pius X"Defender of De Fide - Scourge of False Doctrine"
Pope St. Pius X's [Pope Approved] CATECHISM
of the Catholic
Church
17: Q. Can the absence of Baptism be supplied
in any other way?
A. The absence of Baptism
can be supplied by martyrdom, which is called Baptism of Blood,
or by an act of perfect love of God, or of contrition, along with the desire,
at least implicit, of Baptism, and this is called Baptism of Desire.
Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, Sess. 6,
Chap. 4: “In these words there is
suggested a description of the justification of the impious, how there is a
transition from that state in which a person is born as a child of the first
Adam to the state of grace and of adoption as sons of God through the second
Adam, Jesus Christ our saviour; indeed, this
transition, once the gospel has been promulgated, cannot take place without the
laver of regeneration or a desire for
it, as it is written: Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy
Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5).”277
Or a desire for it means exactly what it says, to infer differently is
to twist the words of the Church and deny its teaching.
You constantly quote Cantate Domino by Eugene IV to support your argument against baptism
of blood without understanding its true meaning. The part of this dogmatic
definition which you are stressing is the underlined “Even if they shed his blood in the name of Christ” as if to
infallibly prove that is some element of truth in your fallible interpretation.
However we will demonstrate that this is not
Church Teaching and endeavour to raise your minds to a higher knowledge of the
truth. Matters of the Faith need to be studied most diligently before any
attempt is made to introduce them into the public domain. It is pretty obvious
by close observation of your rigid interpretations and perceptions of Catholic
doctrine that it is outside the scope of your learning and teaching authority.
Most Holy Family Monastery: “Even if they shed his blood in the name of
Christ”
This
piece of text has a complete different meaning and interpretation then that
which you assume to give it. The True
meaning of this piece of text in Pope Eugene’s Bull is understood in the true
sense, by the interpretation of the Holy Doctors. The meaning of this text; is
that those who are baptised i.e. Protestants, and
other false martyrs who believing,
they are shedding their blood in the
name of Christ are not saved.
It has nothing to do with baptism of Blood. This has to do with those who are
in the wrong faith who think they are shedding their blood for the name of
Christ cannot be saved. Baptism of Blood pertains to those whom the merciful
God bestows his grace in an instance of mercy to die for the true Church of
Jesus Christ. Baptism of Blood can be attained by dying for the true Faith as Saint Augustine has already proved above in the 1582
Douay; however, I will give another example of the same once again from the
1582 Douay for your attention.
Here is the explanation of the Doctors on the Beatitudes of Matthew
5:10
10.
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice: for theirs is the Kingdom
of heaven.
Explanation:
10. For
justice.] Heretics and other
malefactors sometimes suffer willingly and stoutly: but they are not blessed, because they suffer not for justice. For (saith St.
Augustine) they cannot suffer for justice, that have
divided the Church, and, where sound faith or charity is not, there cannot be
justice. Cont. ep. Parm. li. 1. c. 9., Ep.
10. Psal.
34. Conc. 3. And so by this scripture are excluded all false martyrs, as St.
Augustine often declareth,
and St. Cyprian de Unis. Eccl., nu. 8.

ATTEMPTS TO DISCREDIT THE SAINTS
As we can clearly see, your
understanding of Cantate Domino is flawed. In various places in your magazines you have
made attempts to discredit St.
Augustine in relation to writing his book of
corrections. If you didn’t, then why did you bring it up at all? St. Augustine, first
among the Doctors in theology, corrected himself guided by the workings to the
Holy Ghost; always keeping the Church as his focus. There is no need to proceed
further. You have focused your attention on Augustine’s corrections
deliberately, in an attempt to undermine
his credibility, and elevate your
own perspective, as if it were
truth itself. This is especially true, because you can’t produce one piece of
true Catholic evidence to show that these honourable
Saints were condemned by the Church for holding fast to their beliefs on
Baptism of Desire, instead you manufacture your own. Fact is,
the evidence is provided by the Church, and proven to the contrary, that there
is indeed a merciful God who is not bound by His own Will.
Most Holy Family Monastery: Page
63 you state-
"Pope Eugene IV explicitly
excludes from salvation even those who “shed blood for the name of Christ."
Pope
Eugene IV does not explicitly exclude from salvation those who shed their blood
for Christ by your interpretation, proving to you here that you have
misinterpreted the meaning of a definition in a Dogmatic Bull; Why? Because
your knowledge of the Catholic Faith is inadequate!
That in itself is not a great difficulty. The real problem is that you are
taking over the mantle of the Church in preaching the word of God, while not
sufficiently knowing it, in so doing; you are undermining the Truth and
spreading error. You are using Catholic teaching without a proper understanding
of its meaning which has been given by God through the teaching apparatus of
the Church for our edification and
salvation, and all you have to say is that this institution has erred
consistently ….in your opinion.
Would
you have us believe that several Holy Popes, a Dogmatic Council, many Doctors,
Saints, Canon law, the Catechism, Testimonies to martyred Saints, and Holy
Scripture are wrong to suit your illusionary ramblings, condemning all around
you and blaspheming the Blood of the Saints? It’s no wonder Our Lord is
retuning Enoch and Elias in the last days to preach the faith; for if your errors were equal to their truth then there would be no need
to send them at all, unless of course there were some article, act, or mannerisms of theirs
which was displeasing to contend by Holy Family Monastery.
Here are some of the criticisms you have directed against the Doctors
and Saints:
St. Cyprian erred
In
another attempt in your magazine you try to discredit St. Cyprian. You employ his belief that a heretic couldn’t
baptise. You omit the following facts that he was
supported by all eighty seven Bishops throughout Africa, plus the fact that St.
Cyprian submitted his entire collection of letters in relation to this matter
to Rome. He
held his position too strongly and was severely censured for his position; St.
Cyprian toed the line and died a Saint. You referenced St. Cyprian’s denial of
the Baptism by heretics, as proof that he was wrong in relation to his support
of baptism of desire; that’s like saying that if someone slipped on the
pavement, no one should ever walk on the pavement again, or because Cain killed
his brother, that the return of his son Enoch should be contended. This is a
prejudiced viewpoint and is a common
trait in all your arguments, using a situation which was resolved by
the Church to cast doubt on other
elements of Our Faith, even though it's not, it’s a kind of trickery to win over
agreement. You failed to mention St.
Cyprian was severely censured, showing that the Church is not in the habit of
missing important issues relating to the Faith. If Cyprian erred then it was
the Church who found it out, we didn’t have to wait till now for the Dimonds to
come along and compare error with truth. St. Cyprian’s error was corrected many
years ago, while the truth of Baptism of Desire as taught by the majority of
the Fathers still remains and was never condemned by the Church. You can quote
No Salvation statements all day just like the protestant factions who quote one
liners; however, these ex cathedra statements are useless unless you have a
proper understanding of what they mean! These come in the form of writings of
the Doctors and Saints, who you constantly ridicule, to you own condemnation.
You should be acutely aware that the Church is not in the habit of elevating
its Doctors and Saints to a state of error which she was never aware of so that
Peter and Michael could come along with their new found doctrine and make
everything perfect, keeping in mind that Our Lord said “My Dove My Precious one
she is without spot or wrinkle” Not
“My Benedictine Brothers, they are without spot or wrinkle”.
Every Catholic receives an immediate Particular Judgement when they die
Cyprian’s
error had nothing to do with Baptism of Desire; instead you employ his
circumstances in an unjust manner to prove that he could hold an erroneous doctrine
because of previous or existing difficulties and thus maintaining that he was
incorrect on Baptism of Desire. If we were to employ these same circumstances
to the opposite effect it would demonstrate in a different manner that because
of his aversion to anything that would taint the Sacrament of Baptism. For St.
Cyprian to admit to Baptism of Desire and Blood, it would certainly indicate
that he was aware of it, for how could St. Cyprian reject Baptism of Heretics
and affirm Baptism without water (Baptism of Blood). The Church does not graft
its faith in idle philosophies of
alternate reasoning, no! She is grounded on the workings of the Holy Ghost as
seen through the teachings of Mother
Church. However, I refuse
to subject myself to this mindset
you have created, which is not in keeping with Christian standards. Instead I simply believe that which he
believed, and is supported by the Church as proven above.
St. Augustine erred
On page 50 you stated that St. Augustine wrote an entire book of corrections,
as if to prove that because of this,
he had somehow erred on Baptism of Desire, giving the impression that if he
told the truth, we could condemn it because he made previous corrections to his
writings. This is utter nonsense! It must be noted that St. Augustine corrected his errors in the
course of his writings, guided by the Holy Spirit; not from the criticisms of
two cousins [the Dimonds -ED] of one family eighteen hundred years later. It will be interesting
to see if you have the ability or dignity to do likewise and correct your many
errors, keeping firmly in mind that he was guided by the enlightenment of Mother Church
and holds first place among the Doctors in Theology as stated in the Catholic Encyclopedia.
You asserted that St. Fulgentius,
Augustine and a host of others, held that it was certain that infants who die
without baptism descend into the fires of Hell, a
position that was later condemned by
Pope Pius VI. This Holy Pope anathematized the Pelagians,
he did not condemn St. Augustine or any
others as you have erroneously stated, if he did, show me the condemnation?
You theoretically proposed that St. Augustine was so outspoken in favour of this error that it became the common and
basically unchallenged teaching for more than 500 years, according to The Catholic Encyclopedia.
Again, I reiterate that the Church has acknowledged
the fruits of these theological perceptions by asserting Her
supreme apostolic authority; making clear to all Her teachings by confirming Her doctrine, and removing
any doubt. It does not however
condemn any of the writings of Augustine or those Saints who agreed with him,
no! Instead it upholds his teachings
regardless of your opinion.
What you are trying to do is to cast aspersions on
good, by justifying your own opinions
regarding a theological understanding, which has been preserved throughout the
unity of the Church since the early Fathers. You are deliberately manipulating
circumstances to win a debate. What you are proposing is, to look for an excuse
not to believe those whom God has elevated for the needs of our salvation. You
do this by seeking out a particular
flaw in their teachings or otherwise, to prove your fallible theories; that is the rock you will perish on. If any
of these Holy Saints were preaching heresy then the Catholic Church would never have elevated them to the
status of Doctors and Saints…Do you understand? When we have a good look at
what you yourselves have written and
proposed in your false agenda, the sources by which you came to your idiocy, it
should be clear to all with the simplest of understanding, that you are the ones who have misused the
teachings of the Church and have demonstrated that you indeed are the fallible
ones, and not the teaching institution of the Church.
Act of Reparation for Blasphemy
May the most holy, most sacred most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God, be praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven, and on earth by the Sacred Heart our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar, and by all God's creatures. Amen. (Imprimatur: L.C. Epus Salford; 18 February, 1917.)
St. Bede (Church Father) and “Butlers
Lives” are liars
Your Saint bashing did not stop there, you go on to
pompously affirm that there is something untruthful about this piece of
history, that it’s some kind of plot to fool the world. You quote the
commentary on page 53.
Most Holy Family Monastery:
“Outside the Church” Page 53
The Butler
lives of Saints “They both record that just before the
martyrdom of St. Alban and his guard, St. Alban prayed for “water” which he
miraculously received! St. Bede then goes on to say that the guard died Unbaptised! Butler’s
says that the water was merely to “refresh” Alban’s thirst!
In another rash statement that follows you blurt out: With all due respect to St. Bede and the
good things in Butler’s,
how obvious does it have to be?
Most Holy Family Monastery:
“Outside the Church” Page 53
St.
Bede: “As he reached the summit, holy Alban asked God to give him (Alban)
water, and at once a perennial spring bubbled up at his feet…”
Fr. Butler: “The
sudden conversion of the headsmen occasioned a delay in the execution. In the
meantime the holy confessor (Alban), with the crowd, went up the hill… There
Alban falling on his knees, at his prayer a fountain sprung up, with water whereof
he refreshed his thirst… Together with St. Alban, the soldier, who had
refused to imbrue (stain) his hands in his blood, and had declared himself a
Christian, was also beheaded, being baptized in his own blood.”
The testimony of this Holy Saint and Church Father should be good enough
for you to accept; instead you have
chosen to use this information by the Butlers,
written possibly not in the way that would have done justice to the honesty of
St. Bede’s account. However St. Bede’s testimony should be good enough for any
upstanding Catholic to accept, With the exception of yourselves who seem to
have the knack of finding fault with
almost everything that is Catholic; You use
these situations to cast doubt on
the Testimony of another saint of Our Holy Church.
The way that your finding fault renders it most unlikely that you’ll ever see
the truth outside the confines of your own tunnel vision; not forgetting that
you have in addition questioned the credibility of the renowned author, Father
Alban Butler; (1710 -1763) This edition on lives of the Saints is regarded as
the most revered Catholic book after the Bible, the missal and imitations of
Christ. Let’s pause here to give an examination of your sources which you constantly reference. These Un-Catholic sources give an indication
as to your faith building techniques. You maintain that the Doctors are just
fallible human beings in many of your abominable pages, forgetting that this is
not so when they teach the faith. When the Pope speaks from the chair of Peter
on faith and morals he is speaking infallibly or if he is upholding an already
infallibly proclaimed dogma, tradition or teaching, this is called
infallibility. When the teachers of the Church preach and teach its doctrine
this is called active infallibility.
I would be very careful on how you critique the Holy Doctors and Saints, a good
Catholic will do it with holiness, reverence and respect, not by insulting
their ministry, which is an even greater insult to God.
