Take The Lake Garda Pledge & Renounce Luther And His 500 Year Heresy

Background

Mandeville, LA –ย Chris Ferrara, a regular contributor to the Mike Church Show Fan Page and The Veritas Radio Network’s Crusade Channel just completed the Lake Garda Summit in Italy, this is the call to action I have pledged to undertake. Dominus vobiscum! Recall, the acts of Luther set in motion His and the Modernist heresy in Christianity:

Nevertheless, the conflicted mind of the Late Middle Ages clearly needed a figure with the talent and rhetorical venom of a Luther effectively to inject this mega malady into Christendom. Christian man was too aware of the reality of sin to leap directly into an adulation of individual willfulness. Lutherโ€™s concept of the total depravity of the individual and the world in which he lived gave Everyman the apparently pious excuse for succumbing to the obsession with liberty that was required. After all, a recognition of manโ€™s total depravity seemed to foster such a humble recognition of each believerโ€™s personal need to rely solely on Godโ€™s grace to save him; of his need to affirm that โ€œfreedomโ€ from โ€œenslavementโ€ to the โ€œdespotismโ€ of a Law built upon both Faith and Reason that permitted escape from a โ€œhopelessโ€ and ultimately spiritually โ€œarrogantโ€ attempt to bend his individual, lifelong workaday thoughts and actions into conformity with the commands of Christ.

In face of this chorus of undeserved praise, it is our duty as loyal Catholics is to do three things:
First of all, to steel ourselves against the contradictory and tragically self-destructive lies that this adulation of Luther and Companyโ€™s irrational and willful principlesโ€”what Hughes calls their โ€œfive hundred year flingโ€ (Ibid.)โ€”actually fosters in practice.
Secondly, to hammer home to others the anti-Catholic and unnatural misery, both spiritual and purely human, that such errors have inevitably caused.
And, finally, to beseech our Holy Fatherโ€”the successor to St. Peter as well as to the great popes of a vibrant and seriously Catholic Reformation that fought against the horrors emerging from 1517โ€”to abandon this misguided attempt to masquerade what Luther and his โ€œfreedomโ€ wrought. For what they truly wrought was ultimately nothing other than what Richard Gawthrop identifies as that โ€œPromethean lust for material power that serves as the deepest common drive behind all modern Western culturesโ€. (Pietism and the Making of Eighteenth Century Prussia, Cambridge, 1993, p. 284).
Saints Cyril and Methodius, pray for us!
