Podiatrist drags his feet on Church teaching. Kopp cops out on mortal sin.
Dr. Brian Kopp DPM an American Catholic podiatrist and writer denies the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, does not consider it Magisterial,does not consider himself to be in mortal sin and still receives the Eucharist at a Traditional Mass.
Dr. Kopp 44 has been in private practice since 1995 in Johnstown, PA, USA. He is a regular contributor to several national Catholic periodicals, writing on issues of morals and ethics.
In his correspondence on the Pascendi Catholic Forum the doctor who has to choose between being faithful to the Church or his worldly practise, chooses the latter.
He would also like to change the Church’s teachings on abortion, ex cathedra dogma, mortal sin etc so that he can comfortably deny the faith.
After much correspondence the podiatrist, was asked if he affirmed the following ex cathedra dogma of the Catholic Church which the Church has not retracted. Also he was asked if the dogma said that everyone with no exception needed to be a visible member of the Church for salvation.He would not answer in the affirmative.
Yes answered Paul the administrator. It is a mortal sin if it is done ' intentionally and knowingly'.1. “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.” (Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, 1215). Ex cathedra.2.“We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (Pope Boniface VIII, the Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302.).Ex cathedra.3.“The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church.” (Pope Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441.) Ex cathedra – from the website Catholicism.org and “No Salvation outside the Church”: Link List, the Three Dogmatic Statements Regarding EENS http://nosalvationoutsideofthecatholicchurch.blogspot.com/
So Kopp knows and he is not saying yes.
It is a mortal sin writes Rasha Lampa if the person knows. Kopp knows.
Kopp denies that he is denying the ex cathedra dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. He says he is being faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The pro abortion politicians whom he opposes say the same.
I informed him that the Catholic Church affirms the rigorist interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Are you also saying that?
Could I say that Dr. Brian Kopp says all Muslims are on the way to Hell and there are no exceptions unless they convert into the Catholic Churh?
No answer here.
Instead he quotes CCC 836,837,838,846,847,849-852.
None of these quotations from the Catechism of the Catholic Church contradict the rigorist interpretation of the ex cathedra dogma extra eccleisam nulla salus.
So we are sadly back to square one: a Catholic doctor in manifest public mortal sin; denying an ex cathedra dogma on a public forum and yet going to receive the Eucharist at a Tridentine Mass on Sunday.
He has no qualms of a sacrilege.
