By the way, Mark, as for Josh's "heresy" regarding unleavened/leavened bread, I'm going to rule a "WHO CARES" on that one.
I can't imagine how that would harm the Catholic world at large by leaving such posts (and persons) alone.
What, does he get to decide what kind of hosts will be used at his local Eastern Rite chapel? Maybe he'll slip in some unleavened bread in place of leavened bread? Ooh, I better ban him quick before that happens!
Who cares!
Heresy is heresy, but you're going to have to come up with something more serious, more dangerous to the Faith, against Josh before I ban him for "heresy".
Yes, he might technically be in error about leavened/unleavened bread. He has an exaggerated, mistaken understanding about the requirement to use only unleavened bread in Divine Worship. BIG DEAL!
Would that even be a heresy strictly speaking? Does it directly oppose any defined dogmas? There's a reason the Catholic Church used to investigate and condemn heretics as necessary -- not laymen.
I have not entered that leavened/unleavened fray, so that part of your complaint is better directed at those in the "bread" fray.
My main objections about josh9-1 are these statements (and the deceits used to deploy these statements):
1. "nothing" of the Old Law was replaced = Dual Covenant Heresy
2. Catholics should adopt Jєωιѕн understanding of Scripture.
3. The curse of Matthew 27:25 was only on "particular" Jєωs, namely "on those present and calling out on that day,"
not a trans-generational "and upon our children" curse.
The Novus Ordo Curia forced the USCCB to redact the Dual Covenant Heresy, so josh9-1 is such a rank heretic that his position is anathema even to the Modernists. It is quite a feat to scandalize both Trads and the Novus Ordo.
He boasts that he does not read the corrections put before him. That is
purposeful.
He has employed all manner of deceits (straw man argument, inverted Scriptural verses, false paraphrasing, et al.) and evasion (lengthy non-responsive posts, refusing to clarify simple yes/no and "how many" questions asked of him, et al.). I have already chronicled dozens of examples, so won't repeat them all here. Suffice it to say, the pattern of his posting is solid evidence of
willful *widespread*, *systematic* and *purposeful* exactly the criteria you defined.
Here's an example completely unrelated to the Jєωs. It concerns his proselytizing the condemned Faustina diaries:
https://www.cathinfo.com/politics-and-world-leaders/t75282/msg959113/#msg959113
His non-responsive diversion is a salient example of how
purposeful he is. Not only the number of his posts but the variety of topics speak to "
widespread." The deceits used in so many venues speaks to "
systematic.
"Like you, I too have been banned (ahem!), so it is not merely that he was banned, but that he has been banned from multiple forums precisely for the same type of behavior he has displayed here. Nothing has stopped him from finding new venues to spread his poison. He ignores even the efforts of the women here who approach him sweetly. Neither the "carrot" nor the "stick" chasten him.
Ergo, he is willful, purposeful, widespread, systematic, and contumacious.
I have throughly docuмented his manifestations of mental illness, but will not repeat that here, because those only relate to his culpability. Objectively, he is a heretic willful *widespread*, *systematic* and *purposeful* on a mission to proselytize his contumacious heresy and heterodoxy.
This guy is Poche writ large.
P.S. While I am thinking of it, why does it require 2 returns to move the cursor to the next line? and… Why does a paste automatically appear in a different font and a much larger font size (e.g., the link above to the josh/Meg exchange)?
