How Does Abelard Manipulate The Holy Gospel

With great weariness, I do concede that the terrible thorns of heresy have quietly grown again through the venomous teachings and writings of Peter Abelard. Like a cancer, his writings have spread relentlessly throughout the kingdoms, infecting all those who drink in his poisonous proclamations. Although I firmly bestow all power to the bishops to “decide on matters of faith,” I feel it is necessary to publicly condemn Abelard’s writings, as he not only manipulates the Gospel to suit his heretical writings, but he publicly doubts the legitimacy of the Gospel and its interpretation and entirely disregards the rulings of the Church. I cannot remain silent and permit this heretical pestilence to further fester and infect the righteous Christian
Like a fox, he craftily manipulates the Scripture, skillfully “presenting evil under the guise of good” to entice well-intentioned followers of the faith. Yet, he has blatantly questioned the very Gospel he frequently champions to defend his own heretical teachings. He has doubted the legitimacy of the holy Gospel, diabolically claiming “some things be said according to human opinion rather than according to truth.” Was not the gospel transcribed through prophets who received the direct word from the Holy spirit?

For instance, he craftily refers to an inconsequential discrepancy between the stated crucifixion hours of Christ between the books of Matthew, John, and Mark in order to recklessly suggest that the ordained priests are comprised of “uneducated Gentiles” who cannot properly transcribe. With this statement, Abelard cunningly implants within the followers of the Church a seed of doubt. Meanwhile, he boasts of his own intellectual capacity, unabashedly referring to how he models his method of investigation of the Scripture after the scholarly approach of philosopher Aristotle and how his teachings have seemingly “lessened the renown of other teachers.” In this manner, Abelard differs not from other demented heretics who have plagued the church, as “with all heretics the one intention has always been to obtain praise for themselves by the remarkable extent of their knowledge.” He aims to sway the minds of the feeble through his alluring acumen, tempting Christians to place their faith in him rather than the Church. For this, Abelard must be
