00:00How are you, my dear brothers? Well, once again, to continue this topic of hermeneutics.
00:10We see then how important the subject of the Magisterium, the teaching of our Church, is.
00:18Because I can have all the science, I can have a spiritual life, but I need the
00:26Church, I need this fundamental tool that is the church that guides me along the way
00:33of proper interpretation. That is why the study of the sacred book must be accompanied by the right attitudes
00:42of faith that are fundamental. That is, I have to believe what the text says, but I have to believe it.
00:51Based on what the church has proposed to us. At one time, especially when he left
00:58developing liberation theology, for example in the multiplication of the loaves that he does
01:04Jesus, there were those who said that there really was no miracle, but that what he did was simply...
01:12Jesus went to convince those people, that crowd, that everyone should share their lunch, everything that
01:19They had, in such a way that they connected this multiplication of the loaves with the passage of
01:27Chapter 4, also from Chapter 2 of the Acts of the Apostles, where it tells us that the first
01:33The Christian community shared what they had, so that no one lacked anything. Yes, that's correct.
01:42But it's being misinterpreted. Why? Because this is diverting the text into something completely different.
01:50outside of Catholic Christian theology, and this means that Jesus did not perform any miracles, because he did not
02:00There was such a multiplication of loaves, which is not what the church has interpreted and taught.
02:07throughout the centuries, because that is what has been revealed to him since the first generations, being
02:16Many of them witnessed everything that happened there. Lucas himself says, "Well, I've asked people."
02:26who was there. If we remove the attitudes of faith, where we truly believe that Jesus
02:34It is God, we are seeking to demythologize the text, we are trying to show this as something that
02:43I could do it, or anyone could do it, you could do it yourself. In a large assembly,
02:50In a meeting, multiply the loaves. So, yes, we say, let's see, brothers, we don't have much left.
02:56Food here at the event. What do you think about us making available what you brought from home?
03:03of the others? We have, what's it called, a common table. Did the bread multiply? No.
03:15You and I could certainly do this, but Jesus didn't do that. Jesus blessed it and distributed it.
03:22And they all ate, and there were still many pieces left over. So it's important that we have
03:29that attitude of faith that Jesus is God and, above all, that we are completely hooked on the
03:38Church tradition. Otherwise, as I always tell you, we'll end up going rogue.
03:45In attitudes of faith and hermeneutical science, we must not forget that it is the church that can and should
03:52to guide any answer obtained from the Bible, since the teaching authority of the Bible is the
04:00authority that has been invested in the bishops. If we look at Sacred Scripture itself, let us remember that
04:09In the Gospel of Matthew, in chapter 16, starting from verse 16, it says that he gives power to Peter.
04:19Power for what? He says, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth,
04:29It will also be bound in heaven. And whatever you loose on earth will also be loosed.
04:36in heaven. That is, he is giving him the authority that he, along with his bishops, along with the others
04:45Apostles, the bishops now, interpret and tell us exactly what it is about.
04:52Peter, together with the successors of the apostles, who are precisely our bishops, are the ones
04:57They are empowered by the Holy Spirit to teach the faith, under the authority of the Supreme Pontiff,
05:05He is the successor of Peter. He is the Vicar of Christ. He is the visible head of the Church.
05:12Catholic. Therefore, only the bishops, particularly the Holy Father, can
05:20to tell the church if what we are interpreting is right or wrong.
05:29In other words, if we return to the example of liberation theology, which is also called the
05:34theology of the poor or also the theology of sharing, where the aim was to establish itself on
05:40Holy Scripture, especially, as we just mentioned, chapters 2 and 3.
05:464. Certainly, the church has to share. It is something that is part of our Christian life.
05:53Charity. But we cannot frame charity in a way that makes Jesus a being
06:00Human like any of us, please. A human being who simply convinces the
06:05crowds doing certain things. This is wrong because it didn't happen that way; it didn't convince.
06:13to no one. What He did is true, it is a reality that was witnessed, and that is what
06:19We have it in Sacred Scripture. The same could be said of the topic that is also rampant today within
06:26from biblical circles, where the topic of the devil has been demystified. In such a way that the devil
06:33It doesn't even exist anymore. And all the exorcisms Jesus performed, well, they were kind of...
06:42So, as a psychological cure, because there really was no such possession. All of this is rejected
06:51Absolutely for the Church. The Pope, at the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Francis, at the beginning
06:59His pontificate, he clearly stated, so that there would be no doubt, if someone does not believe in the
07:09He is a demon, and cannot even be called a Christian, because he rejects the teachings of Holy Scripture.
07:17If someone doesn't believe in the devil, they can't even call themselves a Christian, period. Really.
07:28The devil exists, and what Jesus did was truly a miracle, an exorcism. (Sacred Scripture)
07:35It must be interpreted under the guidance of the church. Only in this way can we be sure.
07:41that the message of Sacred Scripture can guide us in doctrine, morals, and
07:49Customs. Elements that make our lives truly part of what
07:55Kingdom of Heaven. And that is how, when conducting our study, the conclusions should be
08:04always in accordance with what the church and the magisterium continually instruct us.
08:12We can't draw our own conclusions and then see what the church says. No.
08:19We need to walk alongside the church. We'll see how later in our training.
08:25to verify that our conclusion is correct. Because we will see later that for this there are
08:32different elements. One is, as we mentioned a moment ago, the analogy of faith. Another, then
08:39It is to see if the guiding thread of Sacred Scripture is always in accordance with our conclusions.
08:45In short, there are different tools that allow us to realize if we are doing something correctly or
08:51Incorrect exegesis. If we are using the tool correctly. There are those who are fascinated by the Sacred.
08:58Writing. Even more so when they begin to study it scientifically through books. Without
09:05However, this always leads us to look for books that may not always be in agreement.
09:11with what the church proclaims today. There are issues known as matters under discussion or
09:19questions and disputes. These are situations where the church has not yet given a verdict.
09:26These are situations that theologians or biblical scholars propose, but which the church ultimately decides to address.
09:33It will have to give its definitive stamp, its final seal. Can a proposal be made to the church as
09:40A theologian? Of course, as a biblical scholar, naturally. However, it will be Holy Mother Church that...
09:47Finally, let's say whether or not we are right. Until the church makes a proper statement...
09:55Regarding a theological proposal, it remains simply a theological question. There is nothing more to it.
10:02That's it. The Church hasn't taken a position, and we as Catholics believe what the Church says.
10:12Not in what a theologian says. The theologian can have an opinion, the biblical scholar too, but we believe in the
10:19Church teaching. There are many different books, there are many proposals today,
10:27The tools have grown, but they certainly may not always be the voice of the church.
10:36That's why it's so important, especially now with the internet, that we must be careful with literature.
10:41that we read to get closer to the biblical texts. The separated brethren, well, the separated brethren
10:47In the sense of Bible study, they have a great advantage over us; they are much more advanced than us.
10:54We do. But we sadly observe that they don't always reach the correct conclusions; they have conclusions
11:01mistaken. There is an excellent theologian, a biblical scholar, his last name is Bullman, he is one of the great scholars
11:09of the Bible within the camp of the separated brethren. However, he goes on to demythologize the entire Bible
11:17And finally, we can say that almost nothing remains. In other words, start tearing out pages because this isn't the whole story.
11:28According to him, everything we have is a story that Paul tells. Imagine, he never even existed.
11:35Jesus Christ, as such, didn't actually do what he claims to have done; nothing at all. There's little evidence to support that claim.
11:41which was truly real. A Protestant theologian who has been a great influence on everyone in other countries.
11:50topics, but which in many other cases has led many others to completely different conclusions
11:57mistaken. It certainly proposes a method that requires, and must be carried out with caution and with
12:05intelligence and, above all, guidance from the Holy Spirit. These are elements that can help in a correct
12:13Exegesis is necessary, but we must use the correct tool. However, this doesn't mean we'll reach any conclusions.
12:19definitive. We are simply moving forward in a mystery that continues, but that we cannot
12:26We conclude. Especially when we read, we must read Bullman carefully, and when we read him quoted,
12:35Because we read it quoted. For example, Ratzinger quotes it frequently, but he quotes it correctly.
12:40He cites him in the parts where he perfectly captures the correct theology. In others, well, he doesn't even mention him.
12:47Let's move on to our next video. As you can see, the last video was quite long; it was a lot.
12:57material and we wanted to do it in such a way that it was complete enough to include all the
13:04idea in a single video. Now in our next video we're going to talk about language, about genres.
13:11literary elements and some other elements that are important and without which it will be very difficult for us to
13:19to delve into the content of Sacred Scripture, specifically for us the New Testament.
