T -245: Man Marking Kasper – Who’s the Boss?

Kasper III

This man is smiling for a reason.

 

Today, we changed our opponent and we begin Man Marking Kasper for a day. We begin today by asking a question of you dear reader. You ready?

Have you ever observed an occurrence and thought that something just wasn’t right. Your instinct told you something was wrong but you just couldn’t put your finger on it?

This is a common experience for most people, and those Faithful who have been observing the papacy of Francis closely, must be having these experiences at least once daily. Today we will try to explain what the cause of this internal dissonance is, and we will try to do it through the Peirce/Ockham pragmatic paradigm methodology.

So who’s up for getting scientific?

Who’s the Boss?

And just like most days when we are getting “scientific” we begin with definitions. The logical place to start this analysis is to begin with defining the term “norm”: (As usual, we will be using definitions found in Wikipedia)

A norm is a group-held belief about how members should behave in a given context.

The combination of more than one “norm” begins to produce a “convention”, which is defined here:

A convention is a set of agreed, stipulated, or generally accepted standards, norms, social norms, or criteria, often taking the form of a custom.

A series of “conventions” begin to comprise “etiquette”, which is defined as follows:

Etiquette is a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group.

One reason why “norms” are important is that they “suggest” to us the proper way to behave as individuals, i.e. “good manners” or the proper way to behave in a group, i.e. protocol is diplomatic etiquette, which in turn is a set of norms.

A second reason why they are important is that by understanding “norms”, we can gain insights into the behavior of individuals in respect to how they interact in a social setting, i.e. in a group. It is this understanding that allows us to identify which individual member in the group has a superior rank and which individual member is subordinate. We can even define the individual strata (levels) within a given hierarchy by understanding the norms of a particular group or society. And naturally, it is important to understand the “rank” of the individual members so that we can assess which member is in a position of power, and which member is subservient.

It is due to the above, that one feels a sense of “internal dissonance” when one reads the following passage from an article written by the columnist Hilary White: (see here)

A month before the Synod, Kasper was again claiming to speak for the pope when he told Italian media that he was the victim of an ideological campaign. Kasper said, “The target of the controversy is not me, but the Pope.”

“I, instead, [spoke] twice with the Holy Father. I agreed upon everything with him. He was in agreement. What can a cardinal do, except be with Pope? I am not the target, the target is another one.”

Leaving the logical fallacies in the above statement aside, what is being related to us above is a classical example of what is know in academic circles as “agency”. Therefore, we need another definition:

In the social sciences, agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices.

The constraints that are placed on the “agency” of any individual are called “structures”. These structures can be formal, as in a legal contract, or informal, as in the constraints placed on an individual by factors of influence such as social class, religion, ethnicity, customs, etc. This is tangential to our issue here, so there is no need to go further into detail at this point.

When dealing with a highly structured, if not the most structured hierarchy such as the Vatican, both formal and informal structures constrain any given member of that hierarchy in his actions.

With respect to Kasper’s contention that he is “speaking for the pope”, this would mean that he is speaking “on behalf of” the pope i.e. Kasper is the pope’s “agent”. This would entail a formal agency agreement (regardless whether it is written or verbal), something along the lines of a “power of attorney”. So when Kasper is “speaking for the pope”, he is implying that he is doing so with the “formal and expressed intent of Francis”.

Which brings up the issue of “agency”. First we need to make clear that when speaking about “agency” in this case, we are dealing with “agency” in a formal setting. The reason that this is a formal setting is that Kasper is trying to influence the decision of individuals that will be voting on a formal document. This needs to be clear from the outset.

As to “agency” itself, in a formal (legal) setting it is the relationship that exists when one person or party (the principal), in this case Francis, engages another party (the agent) in this case card. Kasper, to act for him—e.g., to do his work, to sell his goods, to manage his business or to influence future delegates to vote a certain way at the 2013 Conclave Synod of 2014/2015. The “principle” or “law” of agency would govern the legal relationship in which the agent deals with a third party on behalf of the principal. A power of attorney, whether verbal or written would be issued at this point. The competent agent would then be legally capable of acting for this principal vis-à-vis the third party. Hence, the process of concluding a contract or soliciting a vote through an agent involves a twofold relationship:

On the one hand, the “principle of agency” is concerned with the external relations of the entity that the principal has authority over, (in our case the See of St. Peter) and with the powers of the various representatives or agents that can affect the legal position of the principal. On the other hand, the “principle of agency” rules the internal relationship between principal and agent as well, thereby imposing certain duties on the representative like diligence, accounting, good faith, etc. I know what your thinking dear reader, and yes, I realize that we are speaking about card. Kasper. But I digress…

One more important aspect of a principal/agent relationship is that, the two relationships need not be in full conformity. Thus, an agent’s effective powers in dealing with outsiders may extend to “transactions” that he is under a duty to his principal not to undertake, leading to a situation characterized as “apparent authority.”

And when we are dealing with this specific situation, whereby the pope “speaks on behalf of” and “in the name of” Our Lord on earth, we see that there is a serious problem with appointing an agent that speaks on the popes behalf. Which is why the norms, convention and etiquette are of paramount importance in this case.

Let that sink in for a second or two, or maybe for a few hours.

Is it then any wonder why this case of card. Kasper speaking “on behalf of” Francis would create internal dissonance in any right minded individual?

Hope that answers the initial question that I posed at the beginning of this post. But if it still doesn’t, we will return to this topic in the next post.

Concluding today and as we all rightly know, Kasper does not have an explicit formal written nor verbal agency agreement with Francis to speak on his behalf.

We know this because first of all, Francis is fully aware of this situation with Kasper, as is confirmed in the La Nacion interview published on the 7th of December 2014. To date, Francis has neither confirmed nor denied that Kasper acts as his agent. Secondly, other members of the Vatican hierarchy have asked Francis to clarify this situation. To this day, no clarification has been forthcoming. All participants and observers are left in a rather precarious position. I know, this is what passes for being “Jesuitical” these days. On an aside, my seven year old is more “Jesuitical” than Francis is in this case. But I digress…

So what does the above described situation imply?

There are only one of two possibilities for the above situation. Either:

1) Francis has implicitly given Kasper an agency agreement.

or

2) Francis has not given Kasper an agency agreement.

In other words, the situation has a binary solution. It can only be one or the other. It can’t be neither and it can’t be both. But regardless of which one of the above two is the correct answer, Francis has created a very serious problem.

In the case of number 1) being true, Francis is responsible for creating a situation that is at the very least confusing. Just to be clear, confusion is the state of being bewildered or unclear in one’s mind about something. Allowing Kasper to claim that he is speaking “on behalf of” Francis who speaks ” on behalf” of Our Lord on earth, creates a situation where a third party can make a decision based on a false premise with quite serious… shall we say “long term” repercussions. Provided you believe in Our Lord, that is. If the third party makes the wrong decision, it will be that third party that will incur the liability as a consequences for that decision, regardless of fullness or correctness of the information on which that decision was made. A more earthly example could be a bishop who votes for giving communion to serial adulterers, only to find out on his return from Rome that half of his diocesans left, which in turn puts the diocese into insolvency. The liability will be incurred regardless of the fact that the decision maker made a decision on false, imperfect or partial information.

In the case of number 2) being true, what we are dealing with here is a situation where the actual authority is not held by the nominal head of the hierarchy, but rather somewhere else. This is a classic example of a puppet monarch or a puppet ruler who does not have the necessary power for the execution of his authority, but rather needs to draw that executive power from an external source. We are witness to this situation in the Ukraine presently. In our case, it would be Kasper with the real authority and Francis with the “apparent” authority. To borrow a quote from Card. Murphy-O’Connor of “Team Bergoglio” fame: capisci?

But in either of the two cases described above, the ramifications of this pathological situation whereby an agent (card. Kasper) speaks “on behalf of” a principal (Francis) without an express agency agreement (authorization) is a very serious matter.

Is it any wonder that the Catholic Church hierarchy are up in arms and Francis and his cabal find themselves in the middle of a major crisis threatening prelates with bodily harm?

How else can one understand card. Baldisseri’s quip regarding the Council of Nicea?

And in this type of a situation, asking “Who is the Boss?” is something that all interested parties should be doing now and for the next 256 days.

I will leave off here for today and will pick up this thought in the next post.

T -246: Unstoppable Restoration Continues!

Michael IFOR THE RECORD

Re-bog from the Rorate Caeli Blog (see here)

For your consideration!

On the back of the huge success that the forces of the Restoration had with the organizing at this years March for Life in Washington D.C., (see here) the Duex Ex Machina Blog has an idea.

Anyone who spends time in Europe, especially places like Prague or Krakow, must have noticed the waves of weekend tourists that descend on these historic cities. This revolution has been brought about due to the deregulation of the airline industry in Europe. Therefore, getting to Torun is much easier and less expensive than you think.

So the suggestion of this blog would be to support the Forces of the Restoration by supporting the below letter writer.

And one more suggestion while I am at it. It’s high time that we all learn to sing the Salve Regina! (see here)

Let’s do Turin this year!

Rorate Caeli: You suggest: Participate in Turin exposition of the Holy Shroud

From a reader:

In 2013 we founded the “Associazione Cardinal G. Saldarini”, intended to be for Turin the equivalent of the Latin Mass Society in London. We supported many young priests with their first Vetus Ordo celebration, and we are now sponsoring/organizing a new all-Sundays sung Mass and two Saturday celebrations. We have a small choir and a group of altar servers.

In 2015, there will be in Turin an exposition of the Holy Shroud (Sindone), and millions of pilgrims are expected. We are trying to have as many TLMs as possible during the exposition and are already cooperating with many traditional communities and institutes supporting them as a local base to organize their celebrations and keeping a calendar of the various pilgrimages in order to avoid overlapping.

Our goal is to have the maximum possible of participants at their celebrations in Turin and to develop collaboration with them for the future. We have prepared an appeal to all traditional communities that has been released in many traditional sites and Facebook pages in French and other languages.

T -247: The Modernist’s Magic Words

30 Friday Jan 2015

Posted by S. Armaticus in Uncategorized

≈ 2 Comments

Today has been a busy day, so I have not had time to finish my daily post.

However, this might not be a bad time to go back to previous posts and re-evaluate them with what has occurred subsequently, and with the new information that we have obtained in the mean time.

Today, I am re-blogging a post that I wrote on the 11th of December 2014. This was my initial post regarding the interview that Francis gave to the Argentine newspaper La Nacion. It was in my opinion a watershed post.

If you have been following the unfolding narrative on the Deus Ex Machina blog, it was later revealed that this was a preemptive attempt to manage a crisis that Francis was set to create with the release of the Lineamenta or guideline documents to the bishops’ conferences two days later.

Reading through this document, please bear in mind the ensuing crisis caused by the release of the Lineamenta, along with Francis’ reaction using the violent imagery in the Christmas address given to the Curia and the violent comments about punching someone in the nose. This catalogue of abusive metaphors was supplemented by card. Baldisseri’s comment about physical alterations at the Council of Nicea. These incidents are substantive proof that panic is setting in at the Team Francis camp. The Deus Ex Machina blog picked this up almost 7 weeks earlier. In other words, this blog has an accurate reading of the situation within the Sacred Walls of the Vatican.

Also notice the “appeal to pity” strategy that Francis employs with the readers, implying that there is a hidden power that he needs to address with this interview. More on just this topic in our next post.

But for now, a final thought is this: when looking at this situation with 20/20 hindsight, it is easy to come away with the impression that it was at this time that the “wheels started to come off this papacy”.

The Deus Ex Machina Blog

Don't Panic
An interview with Francis, the bishop of Rome was published in the Argentine newspaper La Nacion this past Sunday, the 7th of December. (see here) I have refrained from commenting until now, since writing first impressions would have done this article a grave injustice. I wanted to give myself some time for reflection to allow this information to really sink in. And here are my thoughts.

One more thing. The title of this post relates to the pejorative term “The Magic Words”, that the hippies modernists if the 1960 used to describe the words of consecration in the Roman Canon.

Introduction

The reason for the above mentioned time of reflection was that this article was a watershed article in my humble opinion. The words of Francis in this interview provide the observer with two important pieces of information. The first piece of information is that we see a Francis…

T -254: Guest Post from Dallas Area Catholics: Liberalism is an ideology, too

Reblog from The Blog of Dallas Area Catholics

Hanoi Hilton

The most important part of the below post that all Faithful Catholics need to understand is the following:

 

When asked directly what type of person would give up hope and die in the camps, Stockdale answered:

Oh, that’s easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, ‘We’re going to be out by Christmas.’ And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they’d say, ‘We’re going to be out by Easter.’ And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart.[12]

This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

And more than that, a religion.

Well, It was going to be a short post. I changed my mind.

There is a very disturbing post over at Rorate.  I’m sure you can figure out the one I’m referring to.  It lays out the revolutionary plan in some detail.  It speaks in very derogatory terms of “ideologies” in the Church.  As if liberalism and its more extreme form, progressivism, are not ideologies.  The Italian ideologues seeking to destroy the moral edifice of the Faith need to remove the Giant Sequoias from their own eyes, before they attack other “ideologies” in the Church.

Unfortunately, the ideologies they seem to refer to are those you and I share, which for 2000 years has been – to the degree we are able to adhere to it – the mind of the Church.  But now, in the minds of many in influential positions in…

Prodigal Son

So he told them this parable:
‘Which one of you with a hundred sheep, if he lost one, would fail to leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the missing one till he found it? And when he found it, would he not joyfully take it on his shoulders and then, when he got home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, I have found my sheep that was lost.” In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner repenting than over ninety-nine upright people who have no need of repentance.

St. Stephen’s Day

Sorry for the light posting recently but the Armaticii family is on the road this Christmas Season. We are spending this Christmas in the country of our ancestors. For those who follow the Deus Ex Machina blog, you will know exactly where. (Hint: JP II i big here) But I digress…

While “in country” this humble blogger has been doing some reconnaissance work, getting a general feeling for the situation on the ground from the local family and friends. Once I return to the the happy homestead, I will provide some more detail in a future post. However, not to keep you dear readers in a state of suspense, the general feeling that I am getting is very positive. The Secret Synod has been a BFD to paraphrase our less than articulate V.P. . And the scales are beginning to fall from the eyes of the Faithful here. But more about this in a later post.

And since we are on the subject of the Restoration and Radical Catholic has been kind enough to provide a general “situation report” from his neck of the woods in the comment box below, I am extending an invitation to anyone who would want to do likewise. Please feel free to use the comment box below.

Closing, hope all had a very enjoyable and restful Christmas!

Pax Christi!

4 Ways the “Team Bergoglio” Revelations undo Francis’ papacy

08 Monday Dec 2014

Posted by S. Armaticus in Uncategorized

≈ 4 Comments

“For all these reasons, we believe that the truth of the “Team Bergoglio” affair needs to be revealed and a most severe punishment needs to be leveled; and all doubt as to the validity of Pope Francis’ election must be removed. And there seems no way to do that, in a manner that would be acceptable to all, unless as UDG n. 5 lays out, the College of Cardinals is convened in special consistory, into which Pope Francis enters with the humility necessary to abdicate if necessary. For there is no greater love, than to lay down one’s papacy for the sake of the salvation of the consciences of the weak little lambs in Christ’s Fold.”

I second this motion.
