Heresia Disfarçada de Tradição

por Pedro Gabriel

Uma afirmação muito difundida nos círculos católicos atuais é que se pode ignorar os ensinamentos do Papa Francisco ou do Concílio Vaticano II se eles ensinarem algo que parece ir contra a tradição. Será que isso é verdade? Neste livro, Pedro Gabriel prova que a tradição é muitas vezes confundida com novidade. Mostra também como várias heresias do passado se afirmaram historicamente mais tradicionais do que o magistério vivo.

TESTEMUNHOS

​”Pedro Gabriel exibe as mesmas qualidades admiráveis encontradas nos seus outros escritos, ou seja, pesquisa cuidadosa, argumentação clara e refutações caridosas mas convincentes das falsas alegações feitas pelos críticos papais. Embora o Dr. Gabriel seja muito versado em teologia, ele é um médico … por formação e profissão. Em Heresia Disfarçada de Tradição, a sua formação médica é evidente. Ele é capaz de diagnosticar o cancro da falsa teologia disfarçada de tradição e expor as suas qualidades patológicas.” – Dr. Robert Fastiggi, Professor de Teologia Sistemática, Seminário Maior do Sagrado Coração, Detroit, Michigan

“Pedro Gabriel tem o dom de dar respostas transparentes e honestas a questões complexas. Agora, neste livro, ele explica o que é a Tradição Católica. Uma das pragas da atual discussão sobre o pontificado do Papa Francisco são os tradicionalistas que não conhecem a tradição da Igreja. Para propor a mesma verdade num contexto diferente, diante de uma cultura diferente e de desafios diferentes, não basta repetir as mesmas palavras. As palavras são sempre interpretadas num contexto. Parece que há apenas a escolha entre separarmo-nos da cultura em que vivemos para nos tornarmos homens da cultura em que a Tradição (que engloba a Escritura) foi originalmente formulada (mas então perdemos a capacidade de iluminar com as palavras da Escritura os dilemas do mundo de hoje) ou ler a Escritura à luz do Espírito do Nosso Tempo (mas então perdemos a capacidade de afirmar aquelas verdades que o nosso tempo não está disposto a aceitar e em vez de nos transformarmos segundo o Espírito de Jesus, transformamos Jesus segundo a nossa Mente). A resposta católica é que Deus instituiu, através do sacramento da Ordem e do Primado de Pedro, o contexto apropriado para a interpretação da sua Mensagem. Este contexto está ao mesmo tempo no tempo e fora do tempo. Sem a ajuda do Espírito Santo não pode haver Tradição, ou pelo menos não pode haver Tradição católica. É por isso que não é possível opor a Tradição católica ao Primado de Pedro. Simul stabunt, simul cadent (“juntos se erguem ou juntos caem”). O leitor encontrará respostas claras numa linguagem fácil de compreender e na qual transparece um amor fervoroso à Tradição e ao corpo de Cristo encarnado”. – Rocco Buttiglione, Membro da Pontifícia Academia das Ciências Sociais e da Pontifícia Academia de Santo Tomás.

“Pedro Gabriel conseguiu articular uma apaixonada defesa católica da verdadeira Tradição contra as suas deformações pseudo-tradicionalistas. Nada poderia ser mais oportuno para compreender – de uma vez por todas – que o Espírito Santo não foi de férias e assiste constantemente todos os sucessores de Pedro na condução e no governo da Igreja.” – Rodrigo Guerra Lopez, Secretário da Pontifícia Comissão para a América Latina.
“Pedro Gabriel oferece uma defesa bem escrita e profundamente pesquisada da doutrina católica em resposta aos erros do tradicionalismo católico contemporâneo. O Dr. Gabriel envolve-se diretamente com os argumentos dos tradicionalistas radicais e oferece uma resposta completa, não deixando pedra sobre pedra. O livro enfatiza as doutrinas da Igreja relativas ao papado, especialmente o papel crucial do papa na manutenção da unidade da Igreja e como garante da ortodoxia. Recomendo vivamente este livro a qualquer pessoa interessada em eclesiologia católica que queira compreender os debates em curso sobre autoridade e tradição na Igreja”. – Mike Lewis, cofundador e editor do website Where Peter Is.
“Este livro é uma lufada de ar fresco. O Dr. Gabriel escreveu um livro que falou diretamente a mim. Quando ele apresenta os seus argumentos, eu penso, sai da minha cabeça. Finalmente alguém reuniu um livro coeso que refuta a ideologia por detrás do tradicionalismo radical. Ele expõe na perfeição como esta ideologia coincide com a dos hereges do passado. Excelente trabalho, Dr. Gabriel! O seu trabalho é muito apreciado!” – Josh Anderson, revisor da Amazon, 5 estrelas!

Unpacking Palamism: A Catholic Critique

Unpacking Palamism: A Catholic Critique

Unpacking Palamism: A Catholic Critique

by James Likoudis with essays selected and edited by Andrew Likoudis

Unpacking Palamism: A Catholic Critique, penned by esteemed scholar Dr. James Likoudis, meticulously scrutinizes the doctrines of Palamism, a theological construct found in Eastern Orthodoxy, but seemingly less than essential to it. This Palamite system, controversially claimed to be foundational to Eastern Orthodoxy, primarily involves the essence-energies distinction made famous by Hesychast monk Gregory Palamas. Dr. Likoudis examines the tenets of this system, discussing their place in Eastern Orthodox theology and ecumenism. He assesses the scriptural and traditional foundations of Palamism, as well as providing a Catholic lens through which to understand it, in the hopes of resolving longstanding difficulties in the way of full unity between the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches.

Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“James Likoudis deserves much praise for this present volume, which provides a sound Catholic critique of the essence/energies distinction promoted by the Byzantine monk, archbishop, and theologian, Gregory Palamas (1296–1359). Since the 1930s, there has been a revival of interest in Palamism on the part of Eastern Orthodox Christians. Some Orthodox theologians and bishops even consider the essence/energy distinction of Palamas to be a dogma of the faith. Likoudis carefully examines the history of Palamism and the metaphysical and theological problems that some—including Orthodox—have noted in his system. This volume is enriched by an excellent foreword by Fr. Thomas Weinandy, OFM Cap. and a number of valuable appendices, especially one by Yves Congar, OP. Gregory Palamas might have been a holy monk, but the problems with his mystical theology should not be minimized or ignored.” — Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D., Bishop Kevin M. Britt Chair of Dogmatic Theology and Christology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary

“James Likoudis’s Unpacking Palamism: A Catholic Critique is a most welcome and timely publication. While debate will continue over the compatibility of Palamas’s theology and metaphysics with Catholicism, there can be no disputing Likoudis’s pivotal role in bringing Palamas into the theological awareness of many Western Christians. Likoudis’s trenchant engagement with Palamas over several decades helped set the tone for Orthodox-Catholic apologetics and has had a non-negligible impact in sparking a good deal of more recent scholarly research. This alone more than justifies this publication of Likoudis’s collected writings on Palamas. However, it is Likoudis’s clear presentation of Palamas’s beautiful teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of all Christians, that sets this book apart. Mary is the key to resolving remaining theological differences between Catholic and Orthodox, and Likoudis provides his readers with a guide to knowing Mary according to the mind of this ‘Pillar of Orthodoxy.’” – — Dr. Jared Goff, Adjunct Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Ss. Cyril and Methodius; Co-author, “Palamas Among the Scholastics,” in Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies

“Likoudis’s concise retelling of the Palamite controversy and problematic readings of Palamism, both among Catholic and Orthodox scholars, as well as his concise summary of Palamas’s Mariology, provide an accurate representation of academic positions thereon by the pars maior of Catholic theologians and can be used with great profit for becoming acquainted with the historically controversial assertions of Palamas and Palamists in both Late Byzantium and by Modern systematic theologians.” — Rev. Christiaan Kappes, PhD, SLD, Academic Dean, Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Ss. Cyril and Methodius; Co-author, “Palamas Among the Scholastics,” in Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies

“This work represents the capstone of Dr. Likoudis’s life-long effort toward reconciling his Eastern Orthodox brethren with the Catholic Church. His concise and informative treatment of Gregory Palamas, the famous and controversial 14th century monk of Mount Athos and Archbishop of Thessalonica, is both highly appreciative and gently critical. On the one hand, Likoudis praises Palamas’s ascetical-mystical spirituality and theology of theosis, calling his rich Mariology “sublime” and suggesting that Catholics have much to learn from him. On the other hand, he devotes two chapters to Palamas’s controversial notion of God’s “uncreated energies,” which, though distinct from God’s transcendent essence, allegedly do not compromise divine simplicity and yet can be experienced by men as the “Light of Mount Tabor.” Likoudis carefully reviews both the writings of Catholics sympathetic with Palamas as well as those who are critical. He devotes two chapters to problematic aspects of Palamism that serve as obstacles to reunion with Rome, noting how some Eastern Orthodox theologians champion Palamas as a rival to St. Thomas Aquinas, yet also noting how others such as Fr. Alexander Schmemann concede the logical necessity of a universal church’s need for a universal head in the bishop of Rome. Highly recommended.— Philip Blosser, Professor of Philosophy, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit
“The Churches of the Christian East and West have wrestled for many centuries with the question of the relationship between the uncreated and created realms. Orthodox Archbishop Gregory Palamas of Thessalonica weighed in on this matter in a period of heightened controversy related to the spiritual experiences and contemplative methods of the Athonite Hesychasts (Gk. hesychia “stillness”), forging out of the crucible of both prayer and polemics what he believed to be a theological solution found in the essence-energies distinction in God. The positive reception of this distinction as defined by the Orthodox saint has been by no means univocal in either East or West, and the emergence of a divisive and hyper-polemical neo-Palamite school in modern Eastern Orthodoxy has shed far more heat than light on the subject. In this work, James Likoudis presents a worthy synthesis of his own thinking along with several others on the matter, with varying degrees of sympathy and antipathy towards the Palamite distinction and its possible effect on the prospects of Orthodox-Catholic unity.” — Fr Daniel Dozier, Executive Director of God With Us Eastern Catholic Formation, and author of 20 Answers: Eastern Catholicism from Catholic Answers

Natural Philosophy, Modern Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas by Donald Boland

Natural Philosophy, Modern Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas by Donald Boland

Natural Philosophy, Modern Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas

by Dr. Donald G. Boland

This book is an attempt to rescue the reputations of Aristotle and Aquinas in the area of science and philosophy where they are subject to most criticism and even ridicule in modern times following the scientific revolution, namely, in Physics specially and Science generally.

It is necessary to note that objection to, and rejection of, their thought in this regard is not confined to scientists and philosophers of a non-religious or anti-religious cast of mind, but is also shared, if reluctantly, by those who would regard themselves as generally admirers of Aristotle as a theist philosopher, and even those who would declare themselves disciples of Aquinas in all other respects, going by the name of Thomists.

Most, including Thomists, would see the ancient and medieval notions of science, ascribed to Aristotle and Aquinas in this precise regard, as not able to be reconciled at all with modern thought, so that we might as well get used to the idea that the pre-modern notions of physics and science were seriously mistaken.

However, there are some Thomists, such as Maritain, who have endeavoured to argue for a solution to the apparent contradiction. The author, whilst prepared to defend the truth of Aristotle’s and Aquinas’ fundamental position and indeed to criticise the modern disdain for it, nonetheless disagrees also with the efforts of the Thomists to date to do the same.

Readers on both sides of the debate will be surprised to discover compatibility with the author’s arguments.

Paperback: $29.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“The first part of this book is devoted to the corpus of works of Aristotle on natural science (natural philosophy) and the extensive commentaries of St. Thomas Aquinas. It exposes and discusses the right ordering and principles or causes of the natural sciences in their completeness as handed down by these two great masters of natural philosophy. From that perspective alone Dr. Boland’s book is a much needed contribution to philosophical and scientific discourse in both secular and Catholic academic circles of our age. However, the book does not end in the mists of time with a medieval friar better known for sacred theology. The abundant light shining from the Common Doctor and The Philosopher in the first part of the book serves, in the capable hands of Dr. Boland, to illuminate with clarity and precision the true  nature of modern science from its inception in the seventeenth century until the present time. Despite the material benefits this limited and mathematically formal science has accrued to mankind, the philosophical errors therein are serious and extensive. These errors, especially the fundamental scepticism of modern philosophers of science such as Sir Karl Popper, are exposed and roundly refuted in the second part of the book. There is however, another bonus in store, which for modern day Thomists will be something of a shock. I speak here of the serious attempts well known and greatly admired Thomists such as Maritain, Charles De Koninck MSRC and William Wallace OP have made to engage with modern scientific theories from a Thomistic perspective, but in doing so, as Dr. Boland so astutely points up by applying the principles exposed in the first part of the book, they have departed from St. Thomas in a fundamental way. Overall, this book is an excellent foundation for the right understanding of the philosophy of nature in its entirety and for the identification of the errors of modern theories of science. Not only does it deserve a wide readership amongst teachers and students of philosophy, science and technology, but also amongst teachers and students of ethics, politics and theology. I give it my unreserved recommendation.”  — Frank Calneggia, author of Assertions and Refutations

Logic, Science, and St. Thomas Aquinas by Donald G. Boland

Logic, Science, and St. Thomas Aquinas by Donald G. Boland

Logic, Science, and St. Thomas Aquinas

by Dr. Donald G. Boland

The primary aim in this book is to contrast the notions of logic in Aristotelian terms, including its use in Metaphysics, with the peculiar sense which it has taken in modern times, tied to a materialist and anti-metaphysical notion of science, not extending beyond the mathematico-empirical consideration of things. In pursuing this aim, Dr. Boland divides this book into two parts, outlining first Aristotle’s treatment and then the modern, with which we can associate what is called the “New Logic” and “New Mathematics”, coming into the forefront of modern thinking in the late nineteenth century.

Paperback: $24.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

 

“The first part of this book is an excellent exposition and explanation of the foundations of the metaphysical logic of Aristotle by way of the Commentaries of St Thomas Aquinas on Aristotle’s books devoted to Logic and on the De Trinitate of Boethius. This exposition and analysis, long over-due in modern day academia (including Catholic academia) is a most necessary foundation for the right study of Philosophy and for one’s personal growth in the science and art of right reasoning. The right foundation, having been solidly established, leads naturally into the topic of modern logics which occupies the second part of the book. The errors and pitfalls of modern logics (especially the mathematical logic of modern science), and their strictly limited sphere of rightful application, are exposed and discussed with great wisdom. The ethical nightmares and great evils that flow from the modern over-reach of this naturally truncated logic are made obvious for all to see. Dr Boland has taught Logic at university level for the better part of fifty years. This book might be called a condensation of his vast knowledge of the topic he deals with so clearly and astutely. He removes much of the difficulty of this subject by his frequent use of easy-to-understand practical examples. I would go so far as to say that it is the best book on logic that I have read. I wholeheartedly recommend it to teachers and students of philosophy, ethics, theology, science, and politics alike.”   – Frank Calneggia, author of Assertions and Refutations: An Assessment of Dr. Tracey Rowland’s Natural Law: From Neo Thomism to Nuptial Mysticism
