I'm just going to copy them out as quickly as possible for possible further post on EE. I only started logging the time stamps partway through:
- reversal of act vs potency -- discussed by DL Schindler.."In The Politics of the Real, D. C. Schindler squares up to this daunting task, shifting the discussion to its definitive metaphysical foundation: the modern reversal of the priority of act over potency; the modern privileging of empty possibility over flourishing perfection. This reversal is the root of modern error—and re-prioritizing act is the basis for the alternative. "
- church trend towards desacralization -- "field hospital" but (LC) shouldn't be "hospice" -- a Lutheran idea that grace is just a garment for continuing sinfulness.
- TR: Church is "She" not "It" (more of an NGO) -- priests and bishops are Fathers.
- People of God. The term, discussed by Ratzinger in his doctoral dissertation and used in V2 documents, is sometimes corrupted into sociological notion of "polity" or laity as opposed to clerical hierarchy. CF synod bishop saying it is time for him to listen to them. Augustine used term of People of God -- it's more of an OT term, but nothing passes away, so valid if used properly as Faithful, not just People.
- 42:00 Synod moderators told people to focus on expressing feelings rather than thoughts.
- 43:00 Contextuality -- attitude of uncritical reception of personal experience.
- 44:00 Modern tendency to oppose Christ to Holy Spirit. They are united always.
- 45:00 Schillebeecx notion of experientialism and liberation. Theology of "voice of uneducated, poor, marginalized". https://archive.org/details/the-schillebeecx-case-official-exchange-of-letters-and-documents-in-the-investig/page/1/mode/1up
- 49:00 TR: it is not education or lack of it that counts, but holiness, wisdom, which is accessible to the devout.
- 54:00 TR mentions MacIntyre's term "plain person" for someone who isn't an academic. It was also brought out by RH that liberation theology is a top down concern of the elite educated in Germany who brought the ideas back to South America.
- 55:00 Often those who are out of ideological step with their collectives are called victims of "false consciousness." TR speaks of her experience as a woman scholar when she says she is opposed to female ordination. "Crumb-maiden" is the term. This is a form of manipulation.
- 59:00 a bit more about the "atrocious" majority principle mentioned by Ratzinger in his writings on democracy. While suitable for a secular state, it can't be adopted by the Church and leads to horrible things. what is "binding to the faith" gives freedom to the weakest and accountability to the powerful.
- 1:02 LC and TR on the "self-selected" composition of synodal participants and parish council, church bureacracy etc. So lay representation can be more tyrannical than clericalism. ... power without responsibility except to bureacratic forces.
- 1:04 RH -- elites combination of skepticism for doctrine with unexamined approval of modern culture. "mysticism of democracy."
- 1:05 TR brings up Kolokowski, friend of JP2. He analyzed the way eschatology has been rerouted and repurposed by political progressives. an "alternative mysticism".
- 1:07 idolatry of State is a thing -- cf Rome -- it has been trampled by the Church but tends to rear up again at different times "idolatry of politics".
- 1:09 someone mentioned Cyril O'Regan as well as some other names of those who have noted the eschatologization of politics. RH: "counterfeit eschaton".
- 11:11 Rowland was asked to contribute to a book edited by M Levering, on the topic of deification and eschatology. They are essentially twins but are often put into separation. https://www.academia.edu/44457864/The_Oxford_Handbook_of_Deification_Proposal_table_of_contents_and_contributors
- 1:13 more talk about Levering and his prodigious energy. His use of the term "resurgent Rahnerism". Discussion of TR, LC and RH on Rahner's influence.
- 1:16 LC -- Rahner forced down their throats at Fordham.
- 1:17 TR notes Aidan Nichols called it "vulgarized Rahnerism". https://1library.net/article/genesis-vulgarized-rahnerianism-theological-response-time-implications-catechesis.y871o34z
- TR was educated at Cambridge Divinity school where Rahner wasn't much used and the sources were Balthasar and de Lubac.
- 1:19 Gnosticism and self-constructing. Wrapping up.

“Critical theory” refers to a family of theories that aim at a critique and transformation of society by integrating normative perspectives with empirically informed analysis of society’s conflicts, contradictions, and tendencies. In a narrow sense, “Critical Theory” (often denoted with capital letters) refers to the work of several generations of philosophers and social theorists in the Western European Marxist tradition known as the Frankfurt School. Beginning in the 1930s at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, it is best known for interdisciplinary research that combines philosophy and social science with the practical aim of furthering emancipation. There are separate entries on influential figures of the first generation of the Frankfurt School – Max Horkheimer (1895–1973), Theodor W. Adorno (1903–1969), Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979), and Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) – and the leading figure of the second generation, Jürgen Habermas (b. 1929)
