| What Is A Catholic To Believe ? |
Traditional Roman Catholicism

| Everyday we hear some new crazy false teaching that liberals are trying to say this is Catholic! All this does is confuse Catholics who know better and say, we never believed in that before. I have just today heard a so called professor of Theology say, that a lot of people are Catholic, they just don't know it! If this was not so sad it would be laughable as this is what he is passing off as Catholic teaching. Imagine the Creator of the world having His Children confused so much that they didn't know if they were Catholic or not, or even worse what would make them a Catholic. Imagine these people, who are not Catholic actually being Catholic without receiving the Lord in Holy Communion. Without submitting to the Supreme Pontiff. I bet if you asked them if they believed in these doctrines they would say no. How could you be a Catholic and not believe? The answer is they are not Catholic. This of course is a novelty and it is sad this is what Catholics are learning as the truth. " All novelty in faith is a sure mark of heresy. St. Paul cried out loud, again and again, to all men, to all times, and to all places that, if anyone announces a new dogma, let him be anathematized!" Saint Vincent of Lerins So we see there is no way to believe these silly little notions from people who are weak in their faith. Look to the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. Look to Popes and all the definitions of Holy Mother the Church. You will see that the novelties of today are in direct opposition to revealed truths of the faith and as Catholics, having the fullness of truth, we are called to reject all novelties. " Wherefore, if there be revealed to us anything new or different, we must in no way give consent to it, not even though it were spoken by an angel." Saint John of the Cross I end this with how Catholics should look at what they are to believe: " Every possible care must be taken to hold fast to that faith which has been believed EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS, AND BY EVERYONE. For he is a genuine Catholic who continues steadfast in the faith, who resolves that he will believe those things-and only those things-which he is sure the Catholic Church has held universally and from ancient times. It is therefore an indispensable obligation for all Catholics to adhere to the faith of the Fathers, to preserve it, to die for it and, on the other hand, to detest the profane novelties of profane men, to dread them, to harass them, and to attack them."
