The Errors of V-II continue: Vatican holds meeting on ‘human fraternity’

[Stone]

Another example of a false idea of fraternity permeating and being promoted in the Vatican II documents - which Pope Francis is all too eager to implement, taking from the same above linked SiSiNoNo series of articles, The Errors of Vatican II:

As expressed in Gaudium et Spes §61, the optimistic vision of man led the Council to present a definition of universal man or "the whole person" which is not Catholic:

Nevertheless it remains each man's duty to preserve a view of the whole human person in which the values of intellect, will, conscience and fraternity are pre-eminent. These values are all rooted in God the Creator and have been wonderfully restored and elevated in Christ.

From a logical point of view, this is an incoherent portrait, because intelligence, will, and conscience are faculties of man, rather than values, whereas fraternity can only be a value. Nevertheless, they are all placed on the same level. But as for charity, the Christian value par excellence, where is it? Where are humility, obedience, the spirit of sacrifice, the desire to please God in everything? Asserted again is that Jesus came "to elevate man," "curing" all of his imperfect qualities, whereas He was incarnated not to exalt our qualities, but to cure our infirmities, so that we might be able to be cured of these by believing in Him: "...For I came not to call the just, but sinners" (Mk. 2: 17).[/b]
