    Spiritual balance – ‘Coincidences’ or living a lie?” – Catholic during the Great Apostasy

    […] https://timeofapostasy.blog/2023/08/15/donate/In short, we often act literally thoughtlessly, and later we call the effects coincidence or expect good outcomes.Aristotle was right that it’s unintended, but one could add that it’s very rarely truly unintended and very often simply thoughtless.St. Thomas, in his Summa Theologica (e.g., I-II, q. 6, a. 1), discusses the relationship between will, intention, and the consequences of actions. He emphasizes that a person is responsible for their actions to the extent they are conscious and voluntary. Interestingly, Thomas distinguishes between intended and unintended consequences but notes that ignorance or lack of reflection on consequences doesn’t always absolve one of moral responsibility—especially if that ignorance stems from neglect (so-called culpable ignorance). In the context of the flirting, infidelity, and abortion example, St. Thomas might say that a person who undertakes actions leading to sin (e.g., adultery) cannot later hide behind “chance” if they made no effort to foresee the consequences of their actions.Blaise Pascal, in his Pensées, often highlights human blindness to their own motivations and the consequences of their actions, as well as the necessity of reflecting on life in the light of faith. He wrote: “Man is so unhappy that he gets bored even without any apparent cause for boredom, simply from the disposition of his nature” (Pensées, 131). People deceive themselves, attributing their failures or sins to chance instead of seeing them as the result of their own choices. Pascal adds: “We do not seek things, but the seeking of things; we do not desire to possess them, but to desire them” (Pensées, 135)—this shows how often we act thoughtlessly, driven by impulses, and then blame fate.From a practical perspective, my example clearly shows what is not chance and what is.I decided to participate in summoning spirits. Yes, I was very young, invited by a mature, seventeen-year-old, pretty girl compared to me. So I agreed, and it had disastrous consequences in my life. But was it chance? No! On the other hand, I attended religion classes, sometimes even thought about becoming a priest, and knew full well that such things were forbidden. I simply didn’t want to see what would have disastrous consequences, but it certainly cannot be called chance.If you think your life is governed by chance, it can be said with certainty that the main role in your life is played by the lies you surround yourself with. We shouldn’t habitually believe in chance. Every situation we call chance needs to be analyzed— isn’t it really the result of some of our actions? Pascal might add a spiritual perspective here: “Man is neither angel nor beast, and the misfortune is that he who would act the angel becomes a beast” (Pensées, 358). Thoughtlessness is a sin of neglect, and God sees our intentions.Why is this so important? Because then we can notice our actions and their consequences. Stop the rush of events that were once set in motion by us as the results of our actions. Knowing the causes, we can try to halt potentially bad outcomes.Chance could be described using Pascal’s beloved probability calculus, e.g., what’s the likelihood that while digging in the garden, I’ll find a treasure? Aristotle claims it’s the result of unintended action, which is a very limited description of the situation because, considering, for example, the history of the place, one could already determine how likely it was to find a treasure. Mathematics can describe almost everything, except, of course, the workings of Divine Providence, which is an ultimately unpredictable element—“the judgments of God are unfathomable”—but always leads to good. Now I’ll give a very controversial but telling example. If a girl dresses provocatively and walks through a park at night, it cannot be called chance that a criminal attacks her specifically. It will be an unintended consequence of her action, but one that could have been avoided. Several factors overlapped in this situation: the time of day (evening), the perpetrator’s choice of time and place, the victim’s provocative clothing, which caused the perpetrator to notice her. Newspaper headlines might scream: “Another random victim of a rapist,” but was it truly random?Let’s look closer at this situation, how one decision triggers a chain of consequences, called unintended but so very predictable.A large, wooded park with a bad reputation, evening, darkness—the choice of route itself carries a high probability of trouble, and provocative clothing makes it almost certain. An attack occurs, the victim is assaulted, which causes trauma, depression in a very short time, and later suicide. Devastated parents watch it all, their mental state deteriorates, and their entire life falls apart. There’s also the victim’s younger sister, who, seeing everything happening around her, turns to drugs, bad company, and ends up in prison for some offenses.This example isn’t meant to suggest the victim is in any way at fault, not even slightly, but to illustrate the consequences of our actions.Look how one decision changes everything, and can we really speak of chance in this whole situation?Of course not!If the probability of an event can be calculated, we cannot speak of chance. God created this world, so all the laws governing this world must align with Divine laws.Isn’t this pure, ironclad logic?Mathematics, in this specific case probability calculus, gives us a concrete answer and the logical consequences of one action.How many true instances of chance in your life can you find that cannot be explained as the result of your actions and are truly unintended, as Aristotle says?If you approach the analysis of your life seriously, without any leniency, it might turn out that nothing happened by chance, only self-deception, and true chance is so rare that it only confirms the rule.The world hates us Christians, just as our Lord Jesus Christ predicted 2,000 years ago. In today’s times, this is very evident—they even forbid us to pray, we are murdered in many places around the world, and there’s a kind of conspiracy of silence. Interestingly, Christians themselves rarely mention it either.Examples? In Nigeria in 2024, Islamists from Boko Haram and Fulani are killing thousands of Christians—according to Open Doors reports, over 4,000 Christ’s followers died there last year alone. In India, Hindu nationalists regularly attack churches and Christian villages—in the state of Manipur in 2023, dozens of churches were burned, and hundreds lost their lives. In China, the communist government imprisons Christians in “reeducation” camps for merely possessing a Bible. Is this pure chance? Or the result of intentional action?Pascal wrote: “Truth is so obscured in these times, and falsehood so widespread, that unless we love the truth, we cannot know it” (Pensées, 863).Why does the world hate Christians while tolerating other religions and even, in modern times, exalting them, though it officially supports atheism?The answer is very simple: the world hates the truth that brings freedom and happiness and doesn’t allow for dictatorships.Logic is the mother of all sciences and is so deeply aligned with what God has conveyed to us that rejecting logic practically means rejecting Truth.It was said, “Yes, Yes, or No, No”; everything in between is evil, and it was said that a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. It’s clear that evil doesn’t mean 100% blackness but also the grayness between good and evil. Thus, probability calculus, even the slightest indication of bad outcomes, confirms that the premise of our action will produce bad fruit.We cannot fully believe in God, nor do we believe in logic or mathematics—so what do we believe in?It’s worth thinking about!

    “Christ in the Life of the Church” – A Key to Understanding the Catholic Faith. Part XI. Pilate – Catholic during the Great Apostasy

    […] https://timeofapostasy.blog/2023/08/15/donate/For such people, Catholicism cannot be the Truth; they do not argue against it, they do not wish to crucify it—they simply do not believe. It is too simple, too common. If they are an agnostic, they find it too positive and overly systematized; if they are a gnostic, they consider it insufficiently self-contained. How could Truth, even with the greatest ‘T,’ be accessible to a child or a simple peasant?Yet, when reading the Gospel, we see that such was the spirit of Pilate. Without a doubt, Pilate had a certain religious sense; there are few judges whose wives would send them a description of a dream during a trial, and she certainly would not have done so if she did not know he had at least some inclination toward the occult. Moreover, his behavior, his uncertainty, his repeated questioning of Christ—all indicate that he possessed a religious instinct.It is also quite evident that he had no hostility toward Christ, no desire to crucify Him; on the contrary, it is clear he wanted to set Him free. He had some vague impression, but surely it never crossed his mind for a moment that this figure could be the Incarnate Truth. Truth, undoubtedly, is something entirely different.What a moving scene: here sits a man visibly preoccupied with Truth—otherwise he would not have asked the rhetorical question, so characteristic of agnostics of all times that it has become proverbial—and before him stands the One who, as Catholics believe, was the answer to that question. “What is Truth?” (John 18:38) asks Pilate. “I am the Truth,” replies Jesus.This scene has often repeated itself throughout the centuries, but never as frequently as in our own time. The modern person says:“How good it would be if Catholicism were true. But that is impossible. How good it would be to believe like that preacher, or this neighbor of mine, that the Divine Master is truly present on earth, an infallible Master whose every word is true, whose teaching cannot err. But it is too simple, and Truth cannot be so simple. It cannot reside in this Person standing so patiently before the judgment of Humanity. Who flocks to it? A few children, some weary women, a handful of laborers, a few artists—people who would believe anyone who gave them hope. Truth is greater and deeper than that. I do not know what it is, I do not know its name or its face, but it cannot be here.”And now let us hear the gnostic:“Oh! If only these Catholics knew how naive they are! This simplicity is truly touching. If they knew the real mystery of Truth, if they could see what lies behind the veil as I do, if they understood that Truth is hidden and must remain so from children and simpletons, revealing itself only to the wise and initiated. But they will not listen. As long as they believe that Truth resides in the open square, in the sunlight, amidst a shouting crowd with a few quietly weeping friends, it is not even worth speaking. For their Truth has its hands bound behind its back, is drenched in blood and tormented. Who has ever heard of Truth looking like that! Truth is a splendid queen, dwelling in a hidden palace, not this caricature of a queen, exposed to mockery, with a reed scepter in hand and a crown of thorns. This is a parody of Truth, not Truth itself. I do not wish to argue with this poor thing; I would set it free if I could. How sad it is!”In a word, Pilate rejects Christ because He is too simple.And once again the question arises: what should one expect from Divine Truth? If God is Truth and if He is Love, is it not necessary that this Divine Love would make Divine Truth accessible to the simplest? Truth is at least as necessary to a simple person as to a wise one. Human opinion must naturally vary as much as the minds that form it differ; a sage will have a different notion of the sacred than a simpleton, insofar as each forms it independently. But if they do not think independently (and how could they, when God is Love?), then Truth must be the same for all, because Truth is what God reveals to them. Divine Truth, therefore, must be like Christ before Pilate—bound by human hands, stained with the blood of struggle, yet standing in the sunlight, visible to all, because it is sent to all.Oh! These lofty people who ask: what is Truth? They mistake obscurity for spirituality, as if the spirit were not incomparably more concrete than, say, tables and chairs. These are people forever asking what Truth is, yet never answering their own question—people who think that seeking is nobler than finding, and that the best thing after knocking on a door is to flee, lest it open and reveal something extraordinary.

About Me

Let us build the Church in souls on the rock of our faith. God is Spirit and we should worship Him in spirit and truth. Now in the times of apostasy of the Catholic Church administration, when very often we do not have access to real priests, this is very important. It will allow us not only to survive, but also to strengthen our faith. The truth, even if it is hard for us, always comes from God. Let’s not live in a lie. The father of lies is Satan. Let us remember this. The truth is the determinant by which I am guided when I write for several years on the Polish website I founded http://www.niewolnikmaryi.com and it will be the same here – in the English version.

Ps. I encourage suggestions for the translation. It will help me a lot.

Prayer intentions can be sent through the contact form.
