St. Athanasius tells us the meaning of Easter: "Disciples of Christ Despise Death... Instead of Fearing it"

True witnesses of Easter and Jesus Christ's resurrection "despise death" as St. Athanasius despised it. St. Athanasius tells us the meaning of Easter in his great book "On the Incarnation": "All the disciples of Christ despise death; they take the offensive against it and, instead of fearing it, by the sign of the cross and by faith in Christ trample on it as on something dead... all those who believe in Christ tread it underfoot as nothing, and prefer to die rather than to deny their faith in Christ, knowing full well that when they die they do not perish, but live indeed, and become incorruptible through the resurrection... There is proof of this too; for men who, before they believe in Christ, think death horrible and are afraid of it, once they are converted despise it so completely that they go eagerly to meet it, and themselves become witnesses of the Saviour's resurrection from it. Even children hasten thus to die." Pray an Our Father now fo

True Humility in Christ & the Resurrection vs. Modernism's "Resurrection"

he great theologian Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange said "Humility... consists in abasing ourselves before God." (Christianperfection.info, "The Three Ages of the Interior Life") True humility or abasement is shown to involve repentance from sin and abasement in and with Jesus to God the Father: "Catechism of the Catholic Church  537: Through Baptism the Christian... must enter into this mystery of humble self-abasement and repentance, go down into the water with Jesus in order to rise with Him, be reborn of water and the Spirit so as to become the Father's beloved son in the Son." In 2019, Francis in his Palm Sunday liturgy homily said: "[Jesus] knows that true triumph involves making room for God... self-emptying. To remain silent, to pray, to accept humiliation." Francis in a homily in 2014 explained what he means by humiliation: "That is the path of Jesus Christ: abasement, humility, humiliation... if a thought, if a desire takes you alon

Holy Saturday: Francis the Balthasarian & Balthasar's Heresies on the Incarnation & Hell

Balthasar makes the shocking statement that the Incarnation is "suspended" while Jesus is in the tomb : "Holy Saturday is thus  a kind of suspension, as it were, of the Incarnation , whose result is given back to the hands of the Father and which the Father will renew and definitively confirm by the Easter Resurrection" ("The Descent into Hell", Spirit and Institution, Explorations in Theology, vol. IV, pp 411-412) -  Unam Sanctam Catholicam website In 2018, Francis owed the Church and the whole world a public denial of the heretical words attributed to him by Eugenio Scalfari, a 93-year-old atheist and abortion advocate, that made worldwide headlines.   The Vatican's statement that Scalfari's article is not “faithful” to Francis's exact words is not enough to redress the damage that the Francis has done by allowing this to happen for the second time. In 2018,  Vox  reported the denial of Hell is mostly a liberal Protestant and   Hans Urs von B
