"By voting for neither of these selected-and-bought candidates who have zero accountability and are both moral degenerates in a system that is now fundamentally unlawful and evil, I will survive this election season with my integrity intact. Victory will be mine in a world of disappointed losers who have taken the bait and bought into the scam. It is only a matter of time before they realize all they have lost."
@Sean Johnson thank you very much for linking to this write-up at wmreview.org There are many facts that I had not been aware of; I'm relatively new to the SSPX, being drawn during the covid crisis when the novus ordo churches shut their doors. As for Bp. Tissier de Mallerais, I am convinced that he has gone to his eternal reward, and is already rejoicing, together with Abp. Lefebvre. Nonetheless, I will be praying for his soul. I had the grace to hear 2 requiem Masses for Bp. Tissier this morning. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace
Except God says: “Psalm 95:5 in the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition of the Bible states, "For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens"
Great article with strong arguments, but for a contrary view, see here (beginning about 47:30), which argues for a narrow interpretation/application of disciplinary infallibility: youtube.com/watch?v=dUt1q0D9qM0 I’d love to see these two sides address each other’s arguments!More
Francis flew to Minneapolis to meet with author/historian/analyst and Internet personality Sean Johnson yesterday, but apparently forgot to tell Mr. Johnson that he was coming. Apparently, Francis wanted to know why Sean is critical of his doctrines, policies, and physique, but upon surprising Mr. Johnson in his driveway unannounced, one of his children recognized the putative pope, and let the dog out, fearful that he would spew heresy upon his little brother. But the dog, also recognizing Francis, whimpered, and ran off into the woods. Francis, having recovered from the surprise, let himself into the garage, where he was caught on security camera stealing two beers and Mr. Johnson’s beef jerky (it was Friday). Enraged, Mr. Johnson (brandishing 25 St. Benedict medals), confronted Francis, and asked him what he was doing. Francis fled into the street, driven out of the house by the medals, and back into the pope mobile. But he was quickly pulled over by Minneapolis police for exhibitionism …More
The stupidity manifested by “conservative” Catholics appealing to voting for Trump as the lesser of two evils is like advocating for a rapist to avoid a murderer, or voting for Aleister Crowley to avoid the devil. Trump supports abortion, IVF, gay “marriage” and sodomy generally, genocide in Palestine, fornicates with porn whores and promotes Zionism, the genocidal clotshot (which he never tires of taking credit for), and declares himself a non-Christian. But duped Catholics don’t want to hear it. It’s as though Trump’s campaign motto “I’m slightly less evil than Biden!” was a compelling winner. And all of this against the backdrop of a manifestly rigged election system (2020 is already forgotten), which makes their capitulation and advocacy of a “slightly less evil” candidate moot: The winner is already chosen. Your votes mean nothing. Therefore, why not take a principled stand and refuse to participate in a fraudulent and controlled charade of an election which only allows you …More
[To be ignored by duped Catholics] 1) Sleeps with porn queens (All repeat: “Let us ignore it”) 2) Releases the clotshot (“Let us…”) 3) Promotes IVF (“Let us…”) 4) Promotes gay marriage (“Let us…”) 5) Expands GOP abortion acceptance (“Let us…”) 6) Declares himself no Christian (“Let us…”) 7) Controlled by _ews (“Let us…”) 8) Defender of contraception (“Let us…”) 9) Multiple “marriages” (“Let us…”) 10) Said Epstein was a good guy (“Let us…”) Celebrant: “Oh St. Donald, obtain for us that we may continue to ignore our Catholic faith and promote whomsoever may run as a republican, that we ensure the continued enslavement of America and never feel the sting of conscience which comes with taking our religion seriously, and practicing the virtues. Help us to persevere in ignoring the grave moral defects of this poor man, that he may become our next great leader.”
I know, the lesser of two evils is still evil, however, Trump is a Protestant. He nominated JD Vance, a good Catholic. If you vote for Komrad Kamilla, everything good in America will be lost, probably forever.
EXCLUSIVE translation of John of St Thomas on peaceful and universal acceptance of the pope. In this first part, the great Dominican theologian addresses the theological note of the question.
Bull of Pope Paul IV Against Heretics: "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio" (virgosacrata.com) 10. No one at all, therefore, may infringe this document of our approbation, re-introduction, sanction, statute and derogation of wills and decrees, or by rash presumption contradict it. If anyone, however, should presume to attempt this, let him know that he is destined to incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul.More
What our Lord probably looked like (from the Shroud of Turin). Probably my favorite portrait of Him: Handsome, intense, regal/kingly, penetrating, battle tested and victorious, aura of invincibility. Even His picture has a “presence” about it. It must be terrible to go before Him as a sinner, and bliss as a saint.
Newman’s thoughts on the doubtfulness of Anglican orders (prior to Apostolicae Curae), and their applicability to the new rites of episcopal consecration and priestly ordination.
