In the pre-conciliar era, Pope Benedict XV condemned the tenets of Communism in 1920 with Bonum Sane. In 1937, Bl. Pius XI explicitly condemned Communism with Divini Redemptoris. In 1949, under Ven. Pius XII, a dubia was issued on Communism.

St. Augustine of Hippo wrote about the importance of Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the authority of the Church, which would later be known as the teaching authority of the Magisterium. His writings expressed the defense of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition that forms the deposit of faith, which is unchanging, objective, fundamental, and infallible. Sacred Tradition derives from apostolic authority and apostolic succession, and Christ passed down His authority to His apostles. I will go over each of St. Augustine’s works and put them in perspective.

Fr. Gabriele Amorth was known as the Pope’s exorcist, serving as the exorcist in the Diocese of Rome, which falls under the Pope’s jurisdiction as the Bishop of Rome. He served under Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. Fr. Gabriele Amorth wrote a book called “An Exorcist Explains the Demonic: The Antics of Satan and His Army of Fallen Angels.” ​ One of the things we experience in life is suffering: physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, etc. However, Christ is Our Savior.

The issue of the University of Notre Dame speaks to a larger issue with Catholic education in the United States. A nominalist approach- abstract ideas being reduced to names and slogans- and increasing conformity to the world.

Liturgical relativism is definitely concerning. The orans posture and holding hands from the faithful and laity and liturgical dancing. Both have been condemned since 1975 with the issuance of Notitiae 11. They are not in the rubrics and most of all: not reverent.

When one has a certain conscience- properly discerned, having no doubts, acting out of obedience- one must always act on a certain conscience.

In 1545, Pope Paul III convened the Council of Trent. It lasted from 1545 to 1563. During the fifth session, the topic addressed original sin. The sixth session briefly addressed it. At the time, the Protestant Reformation was happening, notably by Martin Luther with Lutheranism, John Calvin with Calvinism, and Thomas Cranmer with Anglicanism. Regarding original sin, the fifth session of the Council of Trent issued five anathemas. Now, Fr. John Hardon defined an anathema as “Solemn condemnation, of biblical origin, used by the Church to declare that some position or teaching contradicts Catholic faith and doctrine.”

Why is there a "need" to respond to everything that is going on?...If you don't know what you are talking about or don't know, perhaps, do not respond.
