"Razing the Bastions" and the agenda of the Nouvelle Theologie modernists

"If the little book Razing the Bastions is therefore declared by von Balthasar to contain the program not only of his own personal philosophy, but also that “program” which was largely adopted by Vatican Council II, we should be giving it very careful attention. [...] This demolition has been largely accomplished. Von Balthasar and de Lubac may be seen as the…

Obligation to vote for the lesser of two evils?

Here is a layman's opinion that I saved because I believe it to be a fair assessment of the political landscape that we face: "The moral theology guidance on voting is fine and good, but it all presumes certain facts: namely that the system in place is what it claims to be. But what if we have a positive doubt that the system is what it claims—that is, if th…

What's wrong with the movie "Cabrini"?

"Naturalism just as the Vatican II sect pushes it. A removal of all that is supernatural. That is part of Modernism, and the world is saturated with it." Comment made about the film by Bishop Charles McGuire Quick summary by Father Zepeda at The Catholic Wire : "Cabrini" is Catholicism Pirated. I finally came up with a term to describe what …

Problems with the Chosen

One example of blasphemy in the series concerns the denial of t he perpetual virginity of Mother Mary, a dogma of the Catholic Church . " [Jesus] is born of His Mother without any diminution of her maternal virginity; and as He afterwards went forth from the sepulcher while it was closed and sealed, and entered the room in which His disciples were assembled, …

Trump

Is Trump the "lesser of two evils"?

Is Trump the "lesser of two evils"? Or will he be the unifier of two evil parties? " Trump is considering a national ban on abortion for pregnancies after 16 weeks with some exceptions, The New York Times reported — a politically fraught subject that could hurt Republicans in the 2024 election. "I would like to see if we could make both sides happ…

The True Role of Women in God’s Plan

Written by Fr. Benedict Hughes, this article originally appeared as “The Feminization of the Conciliar Church” in CMRI'S newsletter “The Reign of Mary”. "it would be good for us to review the proper role of women in the Church, in the home and in society, lest we be swayed by the false ideology that is part of our modern 21st century culture."

What Is a Traditional Catholic? by Rev. Michael DeSaye

"There is no other properly Catholic position to take among traditional Catholics today except sedevacantism. Sedevacantism is not a dangerous fringe ideology for extremist right-wing fanatics as it is always portrayed. It is the only truly Catholic assessment of the present crisis in the church. In fact, not only is it the correct assessment, it is actually som…

Bishop Pivarunas, Talk on Sedevacantism (2006)

I originally found the audio version posted in 4 parts. Note that the audio recordings slows down part way distorting the bishops' voice somewhat but they are still clear enough to be able to hear if an audio version is preferred to the videos. Part I https://traditionalcatholicsermons.org/wordpress/audio/?link=https://traditionalcatholicsermons.org/index_file…

Bishop Sanborn: Our fight is not just for the Latin Mass

"The last bastion of absolute and unchanging truth in the world was the Roman Catholic Church before Vatican II. The main poison which that council injected into the institutions of the Church is the very poison of Protestant liberalism. That there is not one, true church of Christ, but that---as the [Second Vatican] council says---all who look with faith to J…

st. faustina

The problems with "Saint" Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion

Reasons for concern: 1) wording of the messages (theologically questionable) 2) image itself (hides Sacred Heart, doesn't display His wounds) 3) "useless imitations or corruptions of similar ones which are already legitimately established.” "We may never know for sure the exact reasoning of the consultors of the Holy Office for rejecting this devoti…
