Lefebvre and What Comes Next
If one steps back in time, a cursory glance at the life of Archbishop Lefebvre will prove informative because it shows that we have been here before.
Marcel Lefebvre and the Passion of the Church
Of course, there are many Catholics of good will who do not understand the SSPX and do not comprehend the sanctity of Marcel Lefebvre, but if they truly are of goodwill, I believe they will see if they study these matters. Or at least, they will not treat their fellow Catholics as if they were…
The Coetus: Trad Godfathers at Vatican II
Above: Archbishop Lefebvre with Pius XII. Lefebvre and other members of the Coetus were respected by the popes before Paul VI, including by John XXIII. There will be factions. This is the first rule of all voting assemblies, from the Roman Senate to the US House of Representatives. To believe that this rule does not…
Shia LaBeouf Shows Bishop Barron the Heart of the Trad Movement
Pope Benedict XVI said in 2007: It has clearly been demonstrated that young persons too have discovered this liturgical form [of the Latin Mass], felt its attraction and found in it a form of encounter with the Mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist, particularly suited to them (“Letter Accompanying Summorum Pontificum”). Why is this so?…
The Art of Dress – Problems with Normalcy
In a previous essay, I introduced an approach to dress that I call the School of Normalcy. I will now further explore the problems with this school of thought so widely held by Catholics today. For brevity, I have kept the focus on women’s dress. However, I believe my observations and analysis may benefit both…
The Art of Dress – Two Schools of Thought
When it comes to the art of dress, there exist two schools of thought among devout Catholics. One school expounds modesty as the highest aim; the other, normalcy. Unfortunately, both completely miss the mark. While the School of Modesty teaches important lessons on safeguarding chastity, it falls short of attaining artistic success because it hardly…
Talismanic Words and the Anti-Church Agenda
NB: For those seeking reliable catechisms, the Tradivox series is recommended. Introduction In the previous two installments, we offered some background and textual analysis of the Vatican’s new Directory for Catechesis (DC), showing its problematic novelty in both form and content. Part I showed its disproportionate indebtedness to the “postconciliar paradigm” (and Pope Francis above all), while Part II further illustrated…
Masonic Conspiracy, Lefebvre, and the Murder of John Paul I
Fr. Charles Murr is one of the last living witnesses to Vatican corruption who is both orthodox and courageous. We have many clerics out there – dare I opine “many”! – who are orthodox, but do not have the courage – or perhaps the opportunity? – to speak the truth come what may. Today, we…
Catholic New York
Photo: St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York City. Erected 1878. I was in my early twenties. I do not recall the day or the year, only that I must have been somewhere between 22 and 24 years old, likely on the younger end of the age range. I was in my undergraduate years, studying history at…
Our Family Decision about the Great Catholic Migration
Considering the pervasive societal darkness and rapid collapse of moral law around us, the laity are faced with a deep need of ‘finding refuge.’ Whether or not we are aware of pondering it, interiorly, a question is there. How was the flame of faith fostered in the Dark Ages other than intentional areas of refuge…
“Who is like God?” Rebuilding Catholic Social Order
What comes after the New Normal (or Building Back Better, or Great Reset, or New World Order, or Code Red for Humanity) collapses? Because eventually it will. And just as it is now time for all good Catholics to perfect and preserve their knowledge and practice of the Faith, perhaps that moment of collapse will…
