Three Reasons Purgatory Will Be Better Than This Life

It seems to be a result of the Post-Conciliar patchouli-scented miasma that wants to say death itself just isn’t very important. They get around the inescapable thought that everyone will, in fact, die – including the hippies – simply by lying: everyone goes to heaven because God is really nice. Also, nearly everyone is already a saint anyway because being a saint is really easy. All of this becomes abundantly clear at a Novusordoist Catholic funeral Mass. The deceased is inevitably eulogised into premature sainthood and if anyone is considering praying for him instead of to him, we can just keep that rigid neo-pelagian stuff to ourselves.

McCARRICK UPDATE: Major Interview of Archbishop Viganò by Marco Tosatti

Marco Tosatti: The commitment of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America, to denounce the veil of silence and cover-ups in the management of abuse cases by members of the clergy, is well known. The spicy and annoyed response by the Vatican authorities – and in particular of various prelates – to the well-argued refutations of the combative prelate is also well known. In this interview, we investigate with His Excellency the developments in the case of former Cardinal McCarrick, also in light of a recent article at Church Militant entitled The McCarrick Bombshell.

Post-Christian Vatican to Set up New Parishes for a New Church

“The ecclesiological reflection of the Second Vatican Council, together with the considerable social and cultural changes of recent decades, has resulted in various Particular Churches having to reorganize the manner in which the pastoral care of Parish communities are assigned. This has made it possible to initiate new experiences…”

Slavery, Racism and the Church

What took the Church so long, you might ask? Pagan practices are deeply rooted, and eliminating evil from society is a never-ending task. Also, the Church is not a social justice organization, but a mission to save souls. By civilizing men in the Faith, the Church attained to the ancillary benefit of freeing them from Hell and from the hell they create on Earth by offending against one another’s imago Dei. Only Christianity did this. No other religion was able to render the horrors of slavery unthinkable to an entire civilization. No other religion upended a culture to put the human person, made in God’s image and likeness, at the top of the civilizational hierarchy.

Freemasonry and Catholicism: Implacable Enemies

When it comes to the nature and aims of the international, quasi-religious society known as Freemasonry, disagreement has been the rule, not the exception. For every book that emphasizes the law-abidingness, philanthropy, and tolerant universalism of masonic organizations, another book condemns them for their hidden role in political upheavels or the Kulturkampf against the Catholic Church, while still others extol, or mock, their esoteric doctrine and elaborate ritualism.

Our Disbanded Spiritual Police

IF, AND WHEN, we have another genuinely Catholic pope, he could do worse than to begin his first encyclical by quoting the opening passage of Pope Pius IX’s Quanta Cura:

Italian Catholic Association to Bring Criminal Proceedings Against the World Health Organization

In May an international ‘Appeal for the Church and the World’, signed by several Cardinals and Bishops, alongside specialists from the legal, medical and scientific professions, including such luminaries as President John F. Kennedy’s nephew Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was launched by the Italian Vicit Leo association. The appeal, which can be read here, expressed deep concerns about the human rights implications of worldwide lock-down, phone tracking, and proposed enforcement of mask-wearing and mandatory injections. It claimed that “many authoritative voices in the world of science and medicine confirm that the media’s alarmism about Covid-19 appears to be absolutely unjustified.”

Biden Campaign Promises to be Obama 2.0

Reverse the Trump Administration and states’ all-out assault on women’s right to choose. As president, Biden will work to codify Roe v. Wade, and his Justice Department will do everything in its power to stop the rash of state laws that so blatantly violate the constitutional right to an abortion, such as so-called TRAP laws, parental notification requirements, mandatory waiting periods, and ultrasound requirements.

An Appreciation of Bishop Athanasius Schneider

Ever since the publication of his little book Dominus Est!, Bishop Schneider has used the weight of his arguments and of his episcopal office to promote the worthy and reverent reception of Holy Communion. For the way we treat our Lord in the Sacrament shows what we believe about Him—or indeed whether we believe at all.

Archbishop Viganò Responds to an Open Letter of Criticism

We cannot accept that a member of the Magisterium of the catholic church could use the Scriptures to support a policy that goes against every evangelical principle. We had already deplored your call for the resignation of pope Francis, but now it seems like a true and proper blasphemy to use the biblical term “children of light” to declare that Trump and also you and your entire entourage are victims of particular ecclesial and socio-political conspiracies. To deny the evidence of these recent racist actions taken by members of the police, which have been supported and defended by president Trump himself, is something that we consider to be contrary to the gospel. The children of light, whom you speak about so much, are those who walk in the light, see clearly, and denounce what they see with boldness [ parrhesia ].

Karens, Quislings, Vandals, Lies

Take Karen Attiah, for example. (Yes, her name is actually “Karen”.) Karen Attiah is an editor with the Washington Post (for those who aren’t familiar, it’s like the comics section of Pravda). This here Karen Attiah recently took to Twitter to do battle with the SUV Karens of the world by posting this rather troubling potshot: “White women are lucky that we are just calling them ‘Karen’s.’ And not calling for revenge.”
