"We love the TLM because we are duty bound- at the very core of our Catholic being- to hand it on. It does not just make us happy- it makes us Catholic. Handing on the TLM (and the entirety of the Tradition) is what makes us right with God, because it is what fulfills His command to hand on everything He taught us. To be a traditionalist then, is not just about where you go to Mass on Sunday; it means to have made up your mind about what must be handed on to future generations."
So, it is with not a little hesitation I begin this article by announcing a rather firm disagreement I have with one of his recent pieces: Why I am not (quite, yet) a Traditionalist: Part II (see article here). To be entirely honest, my objection is not to his article alone, rather my target is also the somewhat dismal account of what traditionalism really is that has been given by traditionalists. This statement is more confession than condemnation. I would argue that Mr Lawler’s point that what ultimately matters is that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass be celebrated reverently and that this celebration produce a salvific effect on the human soul, is entirely correct. But correct only in so far as it is the tradition that determines what ‘reverence’ actually means and what effects it has on the soul. Reverence is neither a feeling nor an impression- something I imagine Mr Lawler would firmly accept. Reverence is a conclusion to a process that is ultimately defined by what has been …
As has been mentioned by others, the Marxist ruse to fragment and splinter wholeness is something which should be considered an anathema in the Church. Our Lord has One Body, One Church. It's members are either part of the Body/Church or they are not. Anything which contradicts Church doctrine and teaching is not of that One Body/One Church. Vatican II has been grossly (and likely purposely) misapplied and misrepresented, and I say that as someone who finds much of what came out of it guided by double-speak chicanery and certainly not of the Holy Spirit. Our Faith remains the Faith taught by our Lord. It stems from the rich sources of Divine revelation and Tradition. All Catholics, by the nature of their universal Faith, are, if the term needs to be applied at all, de facto 'traditionalists'. Protestantism has a place for any who think otherwise.
Antiphon of Saint Nicholas Against the Errant Doctrine O lumen veritatis, Shone Nicholas in council hall; The heretic raised trembling voice, And shadows gather’d round them all. O pastor fidelissimus, Nick rose with righteous, solemn fire: “Let not the Son be counted less Than He who births the heavenly choir.” O verbum aeternae lucis, He struck with creed, not flesh nor spear— A blow of truth, a liturgy That drove the errant teaching clear. O sancte Nicolae, quick, Rose steadfast Nick against the heretic; Not flesh he struck, but error thick— A truth-born slap, austere and mystic._ O defensor fidei, Thus did the saint his vigil keep: By doctrine’s light the night was torn, And error sank in humbled sleep.
Eight years ago or so, there was a skinny little WEF “bio-ethicist” named Matthew Liao, giddly prattling on in a TED talk about how “the powers that be” can start putting a disease in ticks to induce people to have allergies to red meat. A shorter, more concise video of him stating this can be found HERE, and he says: “People eat too much meat, right? And if they were to cut down on their consumption of meat then they would actually really help the planet. But people are not willing to give up meat. Some people will be willing to, but other people, they may be willing to but—they sort of have a weakness of, ‘Wow! This steak is just too juicy! I can’t do it!’ I’m one of those by the way! Here’s the thought: it turns out that we know a lot about—we have this intolerance to, uh, so…I, for example, I have milk intolerance. And some people are intolerant to crayfish. So possibly we can use human engineering to make it the case that we’re intolerant to certain kinds of meat. So certain …More
They'll Make You Allergic to Beef With Ticks Genocide-adjacent actions by unseen actors Eight years ago or so, there was a skinny little WEF “bio-ethicist” named Matthew Liao, HERE The little, thin twerp stutters as he tries to cough this statement out, because he knows that what he’s saying is completely unethical, and he can’t state it confidently. Liao first appeared on the scene eight years ago. But what do we have today? Lo and behold! A guy died in New York eating a hamburger this past week - Man With Tick-Borne Meat Allergy Dies after Eating Burger, The idea that anyone in the world would even considering ruining humanity in this way is completely satanic and diabolical. World Economic Form demons would ruin everyone’s lives to achieve their warped ends. They are perfectly willing to shift all of civilization to appease “Mother Earth.” They will kill and injure billions for their pagan religion. “Let’s just make people sick! Let’s make people allergic to healthy food and …

Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear men's clothing, nor shall a man put on women's clothing, for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God.”
Padre Peregrino to Chris Jackson: I know you wrote on Pope Paul IV's Apostolic Constitution "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio" a month ago, so it's important to highlight again that his document insists that if a heretic be raised to the Chair of Peter, it is "null, void and worthless... even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals." Those last 16 words absolutely destroy the modern-myth of "Universal Acceptance." It also means a public heretic is easily recognizable by your average blue-collar Catholic, even before any intellectuals get to the advanced topic of formal canonical trials.
It should be noted, however, that the situation after Vatican II is somewhat different from that of a pope who fell into heresy. Essentially, with the council, a new church emerged and then developed, which Paul VI called "conciliar." This structure is not the same as the Catholic Church; they are not the same thing. A conciliar church is like a neocatechumenate within the conciliar church. That is, a conciliar church is a sect within the Catholic Church. And its enormous size should not disturb us, since the historical precedent of the Arian heresy showed that 97-99% of bishops can very well be heretics. This is where the main question arises: did all these conciliar popes ever act as popes of the Catholic Church (even if both the electors and those elected believed this to be the case)? I believe not. They never spent a single day fulfilling the functions of popes of the Catholic Church, even if they believed that was what they were doing. Their entire lives were spent within the …More
Why is the world going insane? The enemy knows that by assaulting the principles of truth then everything that flows from them will be disordered in the minds of men. Spreading lies about “the Beginning” (Gen 1:1; Jn 1:1) obscures God our Creator as well as human nature, engendering fatal deceptions about evolution, transgenderism and transhumanism. So much that is bleak in society and the Church can be readily repaired and brought back to life by a recuperation of sound metaphysics — namely, the awesome insights of Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas. Presenting their teaching, The Metaphysics of Love — Reality as the Way to Life, will be published later this month (November), Deo volente.
di Cesare Sacchetti Il suo nome è associato ai misteri della Prima Repubblica e forse è stato uno... leggi tutto di Cesare Sacchetti Alla fine l’annuncio è giunto nella maniera più inaspettata e più sorprendente, una di quelle che fa veramente pensare all’intervento della Divina Provvidenza. Dopo mesi di incertezze e di ambiguità, e dopo un lungo periodo ospedaliero nel quale Santa Marta non aveva mostrato nemmeno una immagine di Bergoglio, il giorno del Lunedì dell’Angelo, viene dato l’annuncio della morte di papa Francesco. Secondo il bollettino del Vaticano, il pontefice sarebbe morto alle 7:35 del mattino in seguito ad un ictus, ad uno stato di coma e infine ad un collasso cardiaco, e quando il cardinale camerlengo, l’irlandese Farrell, fa il suo annuncio con voce greve, già emerge una prima contraddizione. Nel comunicato del cardinale decano, Giovanni Battista Re, dove viene convocato il collegio cardinalizio la mattina successiva alla morte, viene scritto che Francesco …
"When a bishop of such rank calls sexual sin a “right” under papal blessing, the heresy becomes institutional. The rainbow cross carried through the church was not a plea for mercy but a banner of conquest. The revolution no longer asks permission from Rome; it celebrates Mass on her altars while the Vatican’s silence functions as the new imprimatur."
"The irony of Leo’s pontificate is that while he denounces “clericalism” and “rigidity,” he presides over the most clerical and rigid cult of papal personality in history. His theologians rewrite dogma; his apologists applaud; his bishops close churches; and his priests lose the Faith in real time; all under the banner of “renewal.” But the true renewal is the old one. When Gabriel said “Hail, full of grace,” he did not mean “partially relevant to the work of redemption.” He meant what the Fathers meant: that in her consent, the Word was made flesh. To deny her Co-Redemption is to deny the logic of the Incarnation."
Our blessed Mother is integral to our Catholic faith, and persuaded her Son to perform His first miracle. He appeared to her first (I believe) after His resurrection. He assumed her spotless humanity into Heaven. Any pope who would dare to minimize Her contributions and role in man's salvation does not represent what most Catholics believe. I warned Catholics about this man.He is dangerous to your faith.
"Conservatives from the John Paul II & Benedict XVI era will have to start getting used to the Vatican II revolution they swear was a ‘valid’ council. They are no longer living in the era of Vatican II, but in the end game now (to cite a popular meme). We have already entered the multiverse of Bergoglian synodality where anything & everything goes - everything except authentic, vintage Catholicism (aka Traditional Catholicism) that is."
This is what Traditionis Custodes defended: not tradition, but the custody of chaos. The regime that criminalized the Latin Mass in parish churches now blesses drag homilies on state television. The Novus Ordo was declared “the only form” of the Roman Rite, and the experiment has reached its natural endpoint: a rite so elastic it can absorb heresy, inversion, and mockery without bursting.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, to describe a counterfeit church or an anti-church that the Antichrist will establish in the last days. This false church will mimic the external appearance and characteristics of the true Church but will be "emptied of its divine content" and operate in reverse of God's will.
It was the perfect sacrament of the new religion. Words remain on parchment, but practice preaches louder. The modern papacy has discovered that it need not revoke doctrine, it can simply outlive it. The Anglicans once begged for recognition; now Rome flatters them for legitimacy. The ecumenical dream has come true: both sides now agree that truth no longer matters.
It is all one choreography: the velvet glove and the hidden knife. The ancient liturgy is allowed just long enough to reassure the flock that nothing essential has changed, while the machinery that forbids it everywhere else hums quietly in the sacristy.
A Church that claims zero tolerance keeps finding exceptions for its friends. While Rome trumpeted “independent judges” for Marko Ivan Rupnik, the Centro Aletti rolled on like an extraterritorial duchy. Bishops lodged there as if on spiritual holiday. Clergy cycled through for exercises. Then the center paywalled his summer meditation, monetizing the scandal like a museum gift shop at the exit. No precautionary measures. No meaningful restrictions. Only the little people get laicized. The networked get microphones.
"Everyone can recognize masculine conquistadors or racist SS guards as evil because the evil is out in the open. (I don’t even buy the notion that all the Portuguese colonialists 500 years ago were racist since many married Brazilian Indians and Indonesian islanders.) But today, the evils of leftism and feminism kill more people than either of those (do the math) and they keep recruiting people all over the globe because its evil is not only hidden, but occasionally attractive. Think about it: Even Bishop Franceseco Savino (Vice-President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference) admitted that Leo approved of the recent blasphemous LGBT pilgrimage in the Vatican (above) and prior sacrilegious Mass at the Gesú. A few weeks later, Islamic prayer rugs were unfurled for Muslims’ use in the Vatican library. Think Muslims and leftists are strange bedfellows now? They’re not. They’re just both anti-christ and pro-death. That’s their overlap. That’s it."
Why are these psychos being appeased and welcomed by the Vatican….Do we not know that they will never like us or agree with us…The pope is wasting his time, his energy, his influence, his ethics to Kow tow to those so-called leaders who hate God and his creation…wake up!
There is wisdom in refusing the doom-scroll. There is danger in pretending that the wolf disappears when you close your eyes. The laity are not saved by knowing every phrase of the latest encyclical, but they are certainly imperiled when those phrases are used to bulldoze doctrine, suppress the ancient Mass, and re-engineer moral theology at scale. Pray the Rosary. Then keep your sword unsheathed.
