Traditional Catholic Pioneer Walter Matt, RIP (Died 22 Years Ago)

“Walter Matt’s courageous decision to found The Remnant in the 1967 could, to all intents and purposes, be said to have given birth to the Traditionalist movement in the United States. In fact, I’d go so far as to say, were it not for Walter Matt, there would be NO Traditionalist movement in the United States.” – Michael Davies

The Lavender Mafia, Francis, and the Synodal Church’s Opposition to Grace

We could ask these same questions with respect to any special interest group that would infiltrate the Catholic Church, or any church, for the purpose of changing the Church’s fundamental teachings to accommodate the special interest group. So, for instance, if there was a special interest group dedicated to using Our Lord’s name in vain — in violation of the Second Commandment — it seems legitimate to ask whether they could lawfully infiltrate the Catholic Church and begin misappropriating the Church’s assets to teach that good Catholics should use the Lord’s name in vain.

Catholic Priest vs Dignitas infinita: Game Over.

Pondering this section, and with the benefit of time for reflection, it seems to me that in this document the Pope and the Dicastery are forging a new and fundamentally humanist and universalist ideology. It has points of connection with Catholicism but it cannot be considered Catholic because it abstracts from Catholic tradition and teaching only the principle of dignity, and asserts this principle to be self-sufficient for its ethics, and omits intrinsically Catholic teaching on the sacraments, virtue and sin. Neither does its bedrock tenet depend on Catholic teaching, because human dignity is defended by many non-Catholics, not excluding atheists. It seems obvious once it is stated, but unlike obeying the commandments of God from love of Him, “human dignity” does not have to be a religious principle. In fact, it can be argued that it flourishes best as a secular humanist principle for the simple reason that God and what pertains to Him is above humanity. Thus, the fact that this declaration does not say that infinite dignity pertains to God alone, is troubling. To put it another way, if infinite dignity is being ascribed to humanity, the dignity of God is displaced. Scripture and all the components of Catholic tradition are quoted in support, more than appealed to as an authority.

The Title IX changes are poised to eradicate due process protections included during the administration of former US President Donald Trump and consider “all claimed sexual orientations” and “gender identities”, including putting in place protections for cross-sex restroom use.

The True Secrets of La Salette (1846)

Remaining faithful Catholics, both visionaries had tumultuous lives. Particularly, Mélanie went through many trials, some caused by ecclesiastical authorities. In 1879, the visionary published a small brochure: L’apparition de la Tres Sainte Vierge sur la Sainte Montagne de la Salette ( The apparition of the Holy Virgin on the Holy Mountain of La Salette ). [i] It bears the Imprimatur of the Bishop of Lecce at that time, Mgr. Sauveur-Louis, Comte Zola. Although it was not placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum ( Index of Forbidden Books ), several subsequent books containing it were censored. [ii]

Holy Baptism: the Gate of the Kingdom of Heaven

It is impossible to understand the significance, value, and necessity of this sacrament if we do not begin by recalling the history of humanity, starting with the very first moment of history: the original sin and its consequences. The drama of disobedience in Paradise by Adam and Eve is reflected implicitly by all the cultures of the world. Almost no ancient religion, no philosophy before Christ is unfamiliar with the problem of the fall of the first parents. From the people of Israel, from whose sacred texts we learn that “all is vanity” ( Ecclesiastes 1:2), to the distant wise men of India, who bitterly observe that in our world “everything is suffering,” everywhere we find the same acknowledgment of the tragic consequences of original sin. Regardless of the form under which this event is narrated, its essence is presented – more or less clearly – in various versions recorded in the history of religions: through an original mistake, Heaven and Earth separated, God and Man became estranged, and the harmony between the faithful angelic creatures of God and the human ones was gravely disturbed.

Are Never Trumpers Manipulating Catholics to Solve Their Biden Problem?

It should come as no surprise that those who despise Donald Trump are pessimistic about their chances of keeping him out of office if he is a candidate in a fair presidential election. Indeed, because the Never Trumpers did such a stunning job of helping keep Trump out of office in 2020, every single decent voter in America who has paid attention since Biden’s inauguration wants to remove him (and those who have been controlling him) from the White House. And so if Trump is not dead or in prison on election day, the Never Trumpers will be forced to do everything in their power to limit the number of decent voters in America who have their votes counted.

Playing the Trump Card

So, when we factor in all the issues that matter most to us – including abortion – what does our duty before God and our children allow and prohibit in situations like these? It’s not just a matter of “may” we vote for the “lesser of two evils”? In fact, I am talking about voting for the good – a chance for my children to grow up in a home school where they will not end up castrated. And to that end, the question is: What are we allowed to do in order to leverage the minimal influence we have against people who want to legislate the destruction not just of the unborn but also of our own born children.
