My background as a Methodist child and a Quaker in college and a convert to Catholicism and 3rd order Franciscan in 1973 has covered the waterfront. I love Alphonsus Liguouri and read his moral theology some. Basically my faith is 10% good deeds, 10% prayer and 80% being a good sport while Jesus saves me through life experiences. I'm a Sacred Heart soul all the way. The Sacred Heart prayer groups and the Montfort Mary groups were horrible targets of the terror. I learned that from, of all people, dear Bill Cooper and his Babylon series. My husband's doctor was a lay Jesuit with a brother in Georgetown as a priest (The mothership in the US). The doc was very kind to his very poor, mostly black, patients. He told them all what was going on in January 2020 and used his office as an emergency breathing help so they wouldn't go to hospital. God bless all here! Merry Christmas!
I can't say I really understand what the Jansenists were, but this was fascinating. I'll have to watch again because there is too much to take in all at once.
St. Alphonsus de Liguori is an interesting Doctor on these points. He situates the truths regarding grace and freewill against the Calvinists but also openly disagrees with both the strict Augustinian and Thomistic dismissals of the biblical texts regarding the universal salvific will of God without thereby falling into pelagian universalist errors wherein all will invariably be saved
@@Souledexbetter to die than to commit a mortal sin. Even the “smallest” of sins demonstrates an active choice to depart from God’s will and pursue our own. It is an ontological betrayal.
@@Souledex I didn’t say existence is an ontological betrayal. Sin is. God’s mercy and justice are perfect. They must be. You can claim to deny His existence but it is useless to say He is unmerciful.

It is that you are certainly damned unless you conform your Heart, Mind and Will to God’s. I don’t need it to be “a good person” I need it to live up to my end of the bargain.
@@Souledex You cannot support any of the claims you are making about my need for dignity etc. You have reduced yourself to incoherent rambling. How sad.
@@Souledex You did not present an argument. You made a series of unsubstantiated of claims about me, my needs and desires which you can in no way know to be true such as my need to "desperately... hold something about [my] own dignity over others so [I] conjure a tier system". This is just rambling. You are still doing it. What is there for me to reply when you yourself just blow hot air?
He paid a horrific price for his attempted assassination. He was pulled to pieces by horses galloping in opposite directions. It wasn’t just an execution it was prolonged horror.
Finally Jansenism clearly explained. The full name of Cornelius Jansen was Cornelius Jansen van Ackoy. Jansen is a patronymic. I am a direct descendant of his brother Willem Jansen van Ackoy. My ancestor Adriaan van Rijswijck married the daughter of Willem, namely Marieke van Ackoy. Ackoy is a village in the Betuwe region of the Netherlands. It is "famous" for its tower that is as crooked as Pisa's. Just for fun.
I really want to hear a good podcast on the molinist vs thomistic view on predestination. Both are acceptable positions to hold and molinism seems to make the most sense to me.
AM, are you aware of the Church's teaching on predestination? It is incorrect, without qualification, to say we don't believe in predestination. See the Catechism index entry, or do a word search of "predestine" in the Bible.
While AH's interlocutor is easily recognisable to those familiar with the channel and with other ones sympathetic with it, it is really more for him to say more if he wishes than it is for me.
I’d say I am am a Jansenist…devout catholic, believer in the mass, don’t like papal authority, believe that only the elect get to heaven and that god actively condemns the non-elect to hell….so there u go Janesntism is alive
It depends, of course, what you mean by “God actively condemns the non-elect to hell”. Also, what do you mean by “don’t like papal authority”? If you mean you don’t like certain uses of papal authority then fine but it’d be wise to practice caution in talking about this in public. If you mean you don’t like the fact that the pope has the powers that he does, or that you don’t believe he has the powers he claims, then your issue is with God, not a good place to find yourself. Also, it’s not a good idea to say “I adhere to [a condemned heretical position]”, even if what you mean is “I accept certain true catholic doctrines which [a condemned heretical position] also accepts.
@ I’m afraid I don’t believe the pope has the power or authority he claims. This pope is proof that papal infallibility is a bad joke. No one man can have the power he claims when he is unrepentant heretic. So yeah I openly reject the authority the pope claims. I would accept he has a primacy of honour only.
@sebastianbendyna2363 The fundamental issue is that of irresistible grace and people cannot lose their salvation (once saved, always saved). Both of these are condemned by the Catholic Church and rejected by most protestants.
Leaving an early comment to support AM’s amazing content

Another AM banger.
Hopefully you can make more videos on Church history maybe one on both Vatican councils or Pope Francis
He did a video on Pope Francis but as I was looking for it, I saw it is currently members only, perhaps consider becoming a member 😉
Thank you AM for a great lecture on a fascinating topic!
Great stream. Dis you every record that lecture of the theology of Charles I?
I'm a devout Protestant, but I always find AMs takes on religious (Catholic) history fascinating.
Comment for the algorithm. 👍
Francois Damiens, who stabbed Louis XV (who survived due to thick clothing) was a Jansenist.
He paid a horrific price for his attempted assassination. He was pulled to pieces by horses galloping in opposite directions. It wasn’t just an execution it was prolonged horror.
Another video yippee

Very interesting discussion, but it is not at all clear who are the interlocutors!
While AH's interlocutor is easily recognisable to those familiar with the channel and with other ones sympathetic with it, it is really more for him to say more if he wishes than it is for me.
Just noticed the information is actually in the show notes - well worth taking an interest.

Has this guy heard of the council of orange. Hard to listen to this guy he sounds like a pelagian.
