Theological mechanics

How does the Catholic Theological Society resemble a ping in your car's engine?
How is the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith like a mechanic?
Our friend Jeff Mirus has the answers to these questions on the CatholicCulture site.

In "Fr. Haight insist[ing] that we cannot know precise information about God" he excommunicates himself from the Church which teaches that, through "Tradition" we can do exactly that. In insisting "...that this symbolism [in Revelation] must be reinterpreted in every age", he affirms Darwinian materialism in two ways. 1. He denies that God created a single human nature with the creation of Adam, and 2. he affirms that man is not a species but, like all other "species," is constantly evolving.

What a pity that this discourse cannot be shouted from the housetops in at least 40 languages!

"Catholic" academia's rejection of revealed truth is more than a "ping" in the engine; hence the need for more than a tune-up. Perhaps a valve & ring job --- even a complete engine overhaul --- is in order. The Holy Office [of the Inquisition] is an accomplished diagnostician and has written the correct prescription.
