Among the many things to lament about modern Catholicism is the memory-holing of the spiritual directives that were once commonly known – and preached about. The purpose of the Christian life was understood until recently to be the seeking of holiness and Christian perfection, especially in ways that would sharply diverge from the ways of the pagan or secular world. The great treasury of instruction on how to live as a Catholic, has simply been abandoned by the wayside. But it used to be talked about, and can today still be found if one knows where to look.

UPDATE ON SUIT AGAINST CUOMO AND DE BLASIO

New from Remnant TV…

The United States Supreme Court has favored us with another opinion rewriting the law and, if it could be done, human nature. In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Court held the term “sex” in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act means not only “male” and “female” but also “homosexual” and “transgender.” The prohibition of discrimination in employment based on the sexually dimorphic nature of the human body now extends to how humans choose to use their bodies, so long as that use also relates to sexual dimorphism.

“These orders, both the emergency stay-home and reopening plan declarations, clearly discriminate against houses of worship. They are illegally content-based, elaborate, arbitrary and pseudo-scientific.” – Christopher Ferrara

The country is coming apart, and the “teachers” are not only egging the street punks on, the teachers are the street punks. With a few exceptions—nearly everyone who disagrees with the Left was ousted from the schools and the academy years ago—classrooms in America are simply where the revolutionaries have been drawing the X’s and O’s of the battle plans being put into action today. New York City is burning, but that’s only proximately the work of roid-raging snowflakes on loan from Columbia.

A perfect tool for briefly outlining the sickness of the “old normal” is the above-mentioned comment of our medical Duce, Dr. Fauci, regarding the mask as “symbol”. A “symbol” stands for something. It can be a physical object, as with the mask, or rhetorical, as with a word or a slogan. Nevertheless, whether physical of rhetorical, a symbol contains a teaching that the people accepting it must probe to the core in order to grasp what it fully means and demands of them.

The story of how the words of consecration spoken over the chalice were changed for the Novus Ordo Missae is a potent exhibition of many interrelated problems characteristic of the liturgical reform in general: false antiquarianism; a defective understanding of participatio actuosa; an infatuation with Eastern praxis coupled with a contempt for what is uniquely Western; disdain for medieval piety and doctrine; a lack of humility in the face of that which we cannot fully understand and a lack of reverence for that which is mysterious; a mechanistic reduction of liturgy to material that we can shape as it pleases us (as we try to do with the natural world using our modern technology); and an itch to construct new forms due to boredom or discomfort with old ones. This example, therefore, serves as a crystal-clear illustration of the errors and vices that permeate the reform as a whole.
