Thoughts on the Tiber Tea Party

Folks who tossed pagan Idols into the river Tiber were motivated by Jesus Christ. He Jesus himself tossed the moneychangers from his father’s house in Jerusalem for the exact same reason. .

I wonder what the modernists would say about Moses destroying the golden calf. Moses must have really hated the indigenous Egyptians, destroying their symbol of fertility and whatever.

    I had never read the full story of the golden calf until I did Exodus 90 last year and we read all of exodus. Moses’ solution to the Golden Calf was to grind it up, force people to eat it, and kill thousands of his followers. Abomination deserves swift retribution. Honestly, a tiber-toss is letting ’em off easy. Not saying we go old-testament on ’em, but there’s precedent for extreme measures.

      I try to use Christ flipping the money changers’ tables. If you use OT the common retort is “Christ changed all that.” and they really believe it. No mental gymnastics with Christ’s actions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

Part of the reason why modernists have managed to rampage through the Church as easily as they have is because they couldn't care less about due process. Part of the reason is because their opposition will get so wrapped up in minutia that by the time they have come up with a canonical argument, the modernists have already moved to the next target.

We do not need much talk about double effect and what not in defending the dumping of the pachamama statues. We have pagan idols in Church. They need to be destroyed. It's a simple a case as we have ever seen in terms of what is the right moral action.

If there is a problem in canon law with this, then it is canon law that needs to be changed.
