MEDJUGORJE UPDATE:
SPIRITUAL HOOLIGANISM
...from the phenomenon
at MEDJUGORJE we hear from the proponents that proximate to the spirit of
Vatican 2 we have a new Byzantium arising from the ashes of communist
oppression...however since we have no conjunction with apostolic authority or
any official recognition from the Vatican itself we have a new sect of
spiritual hooligans running amok claiming a tenure on gifts and charisms which
until now have never been officially recognized as supernatural in origin...in
fact MEDJUGORJE is the new Jansenism....
..just as the
Jansenists were adamant that their peculiar form of Catholicism complete with a
skewed sense of man’s fallen state and his subsequent reliance on merit and
demerit based solely on interior necessity which destroys the notion of free
will and makes God capable of willing damnation on individuals..we see too in
MEDJUGORJE that the emotion involved constitutes a condition where individuals
are making choices based entirely on the interior necessity for maximum
pleasure...which in this instance is outside the bounds of reason as dictated
by the authority in this place which has issued a negative judgement...so
indeed what the proponents of MEDJUGORJE are doing is subordinating their will
to the external coercion of false truths as conveyed by the purveyors of the
messages of MEDJUGORJE against the will of God who has spoken through his
bishop.....
....just as the
Jansenists perverted the teachings of St. Augustine and thusly usurped truth by
the inculcation of falsehood and arrogantly passing it off as the genuine
article..indeed by telling a lie long enough and to a substantial amount of the
population is indeed propaganda not prophecy...so too the proponents of
MEDJUGORJE attempt in vain to misinterpret and misconstrue every document
relating to the importance of Church authority for their sole benefit just so
they can affirm their insidious agenda of self aggrandizement....
..indeed just as a
temporal mother can raise up a child in her arms so that he may walk it is
still the child’s choice to walk or to not walk...God too can raise an
individual since God is closer to us than we are to ourselves...God can raise
the interior will of a person so that he may be illuminated to see the right
course of action yet still it is up to the individual to make that free
choice...indeed it is contradictory of God to illuminate an individual to
premove it against church authority...
...so we see at this
place we have a form of spiritual hooliganism where individuals are acting on
repressed psychosocial dysfunctions to rule and control outside of the norm
hence the blossoming of pride and presumption...through their unbridaled
desires they seek to control the workings of the spirit and of the church to
sway these works to their own justification...
..indeed the bywords
for the anarchical hooligan we see here that at MEDJUGORJE we have the same
spirit at work...
..if one makes a
parallel between the far right activist a sports hooligan and a spiritual
zealot we see that through reversal theory which attempts to explain why a
person can behave in a similar manner in two instances but have opposite urges
for acting in this manner....we see of the four types of motivational states
the telic-paratelic (goal seeking/rebellious) is associated with the hooligan
mentality....as we see in MEDJUGORJE sometimes people are calm yet at other
times they are spun into an emotional frenzy (ie slain in the spirit)...or
claim a quasi miraculous religious experience ....when an individual who is
predilected by their nature is exposed to a circumstance which involves high
hedonic overtones(pleasant state of arousal)...for example many people praying
the rosary together and attending confession and mass presents a circumstance
of high hedonic overtones and so such individuals tend to overcompensate and
feel the spirit moving so to speak.....
....in such an individual
who is prone to a particular emotional profile there is a need for compensation
between the boredom associated with life’s rigours and so we have spiritual
hooliganism as a compensated state..such a person seeks the thrill of defying
authority to depose the boredom of a life of quiet desperation....a parallel
between sports hooliganism may be seen where during a soccer match since the
play is drawn out and at times boring yet the expectations run high that the
hooligan may overcompensate and undermine the goal seeking with the rebellious nature.....indeed
let us hope God will lead all into the true church united under a true
spirituality in the final analysis .....amen
