"Ultracrepidarianism"

"Ultracrepidarianism" · Who Coined the Term, Anyway? · Copyright Laws and Casuistry

This is the age of ultracrepidarianism, i.e., the giving of advice and opinions outside the scope of one's knowledge and/or training—and unfortunately many people accept such worthless advice. ... However, there are times when emergency circumstances necessitate a non-expert to weigh in. I'm a former New York City science teacher and current lawyer, so why am I writing a blog on theology? In the absence of the Great Apostasy, I wouldn't be; and shouldn't be.

Introibo Ad Altare Dei : Betrayed By Benns

I do not intend right now to comment on Theresa S. Benns, who was among those voting Pope Michael into office and left him before I joined him.

I am commenting on the concept named in the title.

Now, Gilbert Keith Chesterton was received in the Catholic Church in 1922. He wrote The Everlasting Man in 1925, as a Catholic, not under the looser discipline of his former Anglicanism, and he was never Theologian, Historian, Palaeontologist, so the project epithomises Ultracrepidarianism. Was he disciplined for it? Not so. Pope Pius XI gave him the distinction Knight of St. Gregory the Great. Near the end of his life, so, after the book./HGL

PS, there is a distinction between subjects where someone needs specific and sometimes counterintuitive (to him) advise on matters requiring experience, and pronouncing oneself on matters of curiosity.HGL
