Dr. Richard Gaillardetz will speak at St. Mark in Plano on March 7th – 10th, 2010. The first session is after Mass, and all sessions are in the sanctuary.

It seems that Dr. Gaillardetz has some problems with Church doctrine. For one, he states that couples should ‘follow their own conscience’ regarding infallibe Church dogma on the use of contraception. He actually feels you should try, like really, really hard to follow that doctrine, but if it’s just tooo danged hard, you can follow your own conscience. Apparently, around 95% of Catholic married couples find it too danged hard…….I’m sure after a terrible amount of internal conflict and turmoil. I’m sure they would never use justifications from such theologians as Dr. Gaillardetz to help rationalize their opposition to God’s Perfect Will! And neither would any pastors at certain parishes!

Dr. Gaillardetz has some pretty……..interesting…………ideas regarding infallible dogmas and how they are arrived at. The Church has stated, infallibly!, that it is properly constituted Church councils, the Pope, and the long-held views of the Magisterium that constitute infallible dogma. Not so with Dr. Gaillardetz! Oh no, for him, it’s the theologians who constitute the Magisterium, and who decide what doctrine is infallible. Isn’t that convenient?!? How nice for him! He has written books on the subject, and he sides with such well known dissenters as Dr. Hans Kung for support in claiming that no doctrine arrived at by humans can be infallible. Guess we better scrap that Credo!

Once again, I guess I, and those who think I might have a point regarding all these dissenting speakers coming to the diocese, have to go back to the pastors and the diocese and make our concerns known. But, since I know some of the pastors involved read this blog, let me ask a semi-rhetorical question, again. Is this really, REALLY, the best we can do? While much foot dragging goes on to bring in an orthodox speaker, it seems the dissenters just breeze right in without a problem. This makes me wonder about alot of things, like inherent biases and things like that.

READ THIS AMAZING ARTICLE CONTAINING ALL HIS BELIEFS AND WRITINGS!

You know what to do. The only way to affect change is to let the staff at the parish and diocese know that this kind of speaker isn’t acceptable.

Sr. Joyce Rupp Speaking at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish

A ‘women’s retreat’ is being held Feb. 20th at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish in Plano. The retreat is being given by Sr. Joyce Rupp. Based on prior knowledge of these retreats, it will essentially consist of Sr. Rupp lecturing a number of women for the better part of a day.

The retreat is sponsored by five north Dallas area parishes:

  • St. Mark in Plano
  • St. Elizabeth in Plano
  • St. Joseph in Richardson
  • Our Lady of Angels in Allen
  • Prince of Peace in Plano

Why is this a problem? Why would I care that a female roman catholic religious is speaking at a catholic parish in Plano? Well, unfortunately, there are many religious, male and female, whose communion with the Church, whose thoughts and practices being in accord with Church teaching, is doubtful at best. Sr. Donna Quinn of the Sinsinawa Dominicans in Chicago is one.

Another is Sr. Joan Chittister. There is strong evidence that Sr. Rupp, while not as at odds with core Church doctrine as Sr.’s Chittister and Quinn (and Fr. Reese, and Fr. Drinan), is at best a pretty poor choice for a Catholic speaker in the Dallas Diocese, and at worst poses a grave threat to the souls of all those who attend this ‘retreat.’

On her own website, Sr. Rupp makes plain that she is very friendly with New Age beliefs. She constantly refers to God in the feminine with the name of ‘Sophia,’ ostensibly a ‘goddess of wisdom,’ she incorporates eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism into much of her ‘theology,’ and she gives strong hints that she has been involved in, or is involved in, active homosexual relationships. The Church counsels that New Age practices, such as astrology, power crystals, dreamcatchers, and the like, pose a mortal threat to one’s soul. New Age beliefs are fundamentally self-centered, drawing on supposed mystical powers of the universe to make one have improved self-esteem, or to gain insight into the future, or to understand and contact those in ‘other dimensions.’ Much New Age belief is strongly associated with the work of Carl Jung, an Austrian psychologist who was a strong proponent of the interpretation of dreams, while at the same time a vociferous opponent of the Church. Sr. Rupp has a master’s degree in Jungian psychology, in addition to a degree from the ‘leading center of New Age’ study.
