<p>"I venture to introduce my notice of St. Dionysius. He was accused on a far worse charge, and before a far more formidable tribunal, than commonly befalls a Catholic writer; for he was brought up before the Holy See on a denial of our Lord's divinity. He had been controverting with the Sabellians; and he was in consequence accused of the doctrine to which Arius afterwards gave his name, that is, of considering our Lord a creature. He says, writing in his defence, that when he urged his opponents with the argument that 'a vine and a vine-dresser were not the same,' neither, therefore, were the 'Father and the Son,' these were not the only illustrations that he made use of, nor those on which he dwelt, for he also spoke of 'a root and a plant ... .. a fount and a stream,' which are not only distinct from each other, but of one and the same nature. Then he adds, 'But my accusers have no eyes to see this portion of my treatise; but they take up two little words detached from the context, and proceed to discharge them at me as pebbles from a sling.' [Athan. de Sent. Dion. 8.] If even a saint's words are not always precise enough to allow of being made a dogmatic text, much less are those of any modern periodical."</p>

<p>Dr. Thomas Joseph Brown, Bishop of Newport and Menevia in Wales, formally "delated" Father Newman's article to Rome as heretical.</p>

<p>Apparently some Catholics remain at the ready with pebbles and sling.<br />

Ronald Nuzzi, who heads the ACE Leadership Program for Catholic educators at The University of Notre Dame stated in an article about the need for a Fidelity Oath, that he keeps a photo on his desk from the 1940s, that shows all the German bishops, in their garb, doing the Nazi salute, which is deeply disturbing. According to the statement by Rev.Nuzzi, it reminds him that the wisdom of the bishops is limited.</p>
<p>It is important to note, that one cannot be autonomous and in communion with Christ's One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, simultaneously.( Catholic Canon 750) If it is true that those bishops in the picture were defenders of Nazism, they were no longer in communion with Christ's Church. In order to be Catholic, one must be worshiping The True God, The God Who desires that we overcome our disordered inclinations, including our disordered sexual inclinations, and thus not be led into temptation, but be delivered from evil, through God's Grace and Mercy, Amen</p>
