Refutation of What the Resistance Dominicans Wrote About the Anonymous Explanatory Letter in the L'Osservatore Romano
The Dominican article then quotes four paragraphs from the L’Osservatore Romano article. I quote from my e-book below:
One of the most common quoted articles against the Poem of the Man-God is the anonymous explanatory letter published in the L'Osservatore Romano in January 1960 next to the since annulled placement of the first edition of the Poem on the Index. It is important to note that:75
L'Osservatore Romano ("The Roman Observer") is the Vatican's newspaper, which was founded in 1861 for apologetic reasons, and, according to the Vatican website, to be "deliberately polemical and propagandist". In 1929, the newspaper relocated to within the premises of the Vatican, yet still operates as an independent entity. Strictly speaking, the newspaper is not authoritative in and of itself. Any authority it contains is dependent on whether it accurately reports information/events within the Roman Curia. While its purpose is objective reporting, it is nonetheless subject to the same dynamic as any lay run organization, which may or may not be influenced by the politics of the time.
In response to this anonymous letter, here is a thoroughly researched, very well-written article from a website which shows how the explanatory letter of condemnation published in L’Osservatore Romano does not hold up to the Norms in Proceeding in Judging Alleged Apparitions promulgated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (a.k.a. the Holy Office) and how all the reasons stated in this letter are either false, are spurious reasons, lack reasonable substantiation or evidence, or are subjective and ambiguous: A Critical Analysis of the Explanatory Letter Published in 1960.
I provide a more in-depth refutation of the explanatory letter in the subchapter of this e-book entitled "About the Anonymous Letter in the L'Osservatore Romano and a Thorough Analysis and Refutation of This Letter". It is about three times as thorough and in-depth as the link given above.
Here are the topics I cover in this aforementioned subchapter :
-
Addressing the Length of Speeches of Jesus and Mary
-
Addressing What is Written About the Original Sin of Adam and Eve
-
Addressing the Comment of Mary Being "Second Born of the Father"
-
Addressing the Claim there are Historical or Geographical Blunders
-
Refuting the Lie that the First Edition Poem Lacked an Imprimatur
-
Addressing the Opening Comments of the Anonymous Letter
-
Addressing the Concern About Certain Scenes and Exposing the False Insinuations of the Anonymous Author of the Vatican Newspaper Letter
-
Refuting the Objection About the Quote on Volume 2, Page 772
-
Addressing the Closing Comments of the Anonymous Letter
-
Conclusion
If you see that chapter, all of the paragraphs of the anonymous explanatory letter that the Resistance Dominican article quoted are thoroughly and objectively refuted.
