Though I published most of these writing months ago, the Miscellaneous site has long served as a site where things are published which I have no intention of rehashing at Rerum Novarum or anywhere else in the future. Postings here in other words represent a kind of final statement on the issues in question.
The four postings linked to here will represent in perpetuity everything I intend to say on the subjects which those postings cover. Without further ado:
On Magisterial Interpretation (circa January 4, 2020)
On the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, Obedience, and the Requirements of Faithful Catholics (circa February 26, 2020)
On Clarifying and Retracting Some Prior Statements on the Magisterium (circa March 8, 2020)
More On Magisterial Interpretation (circa October 23, 2020)
All things to the contrary notwithstanding.

Defining A New Term:

It has been a long time since I have had recourse to this website but a recent circumstance seems to warrant it. My intention here is to record for posterity a term I came up with on the fly the other day. To wit:

So Lev Parmas has a known history of lying and has multiple indictments for crimes involving alleged lying and yet somehow, he is telling the pure truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth where Trump is concerned?

I did not realize the #NeverTrump crowd believed in ethical transubstantiation!

Basically the term ethical transubstantiation would take the theological concept of transubstantiation and apply it in a political context whereby a conversion in the substance occurs despite accidental appearances which remain the same.

The above example suffices for now to define the term for potential future use.
