Chris is risen. Welcome. We've got welcome to the guild family stream. Got fill in the chat. What's up, Phil? What's up, paleocrat? We got Jeremiah in this frame. All right. So the E Michael Jones content is basically guild family stream only because one because we just want to produce content for the guild members only and two because E Michael Jones is very much the persona non grata. Based on the fact that he tries to tell the truth as much as possible. And when you try to tell the truth as much as possible, you are hated and vilified as E Michael Jones is. So if you're not familiar, I would encourage everybody to subscribe to culture wars. This is his magazine. And this is what I'm going to be reading from on this talk about this because well EMG. Yes, yes, indeed. So so the article is synodalities hidden ethnic grammar. So, um, and this is a discussion about rats and girls actions at the council. Now, there's a really interesting quote that one of his primary sources in this article is, um, is rats and girls. Um, highlights of Vatican to what was the is at the full. I think it's the full title of this text. So highlights of Vatican to with which Joseph Ratsinger wrote right after the council. Now what's really interesting is that he actually seems to disavow any intention to rupture with the documents. We talked about this on, I think it was part six in this series of Benedict, we've been in case the trash. So here's a quote from Ratsinger and highlights of Vatican to that, uh, Emical Jones brings out and he says this, Ratsinger says this. Quote. Naturally, I took exception to certain things. So he's talking about the schemata, the original draft documents of Vatican to. But I found no grounds for a radical rejection of what was being proposed such as many demanded later on in the council and actually managed to put through. It is true that the documents bore only weak traces of the biblical and protistic renewal of the last decades so that they gave an impression of rigidity and narrowness through their excessive dependency and scholastic theology. In other words, they reflected more the thought of scholars than of shepherds, but I must say that they had a solid foundation that had been carefully elaborated end quote. So I think what's really interesting here is that, um, he did not have an intention to rupture. You know, because Joseph Ratsinger had a huge influence on the council, but ultimately he wasn't a bishop. And so his actions did have a massive impact, but he's disavowing the fact that there's this rupture. So this helps to prove the fact that the Ratsinger in 1950s and 60s is really the same Ratsinger in the 70s and 80s and 90s. He doesn't actually change his position. This is what Peter C. Walg goes to great lengths in his biography to try to say there's a myth about Ratsinger that he was a liberal at the council and then he was conservative later that's not true.
