Some Just War theories are bad theories.
e.g. βNothing is lost with peace. Everything can be lost with war.β cannot explain why the French peace treaty in 1940 was wrong.
e.g. βGod does not hear the prayers of those who wage warβ cannot explain St. Joan the Maid.
Someone confuses the world of things for the world of ideasβ¦
Calling NFP a loophole in morality is like calling air travel a loophole in physics. Itβs not a loophole when it is literally how the body works.
It would be difficult to find something more antisemitic than this statement by the Chicago archdiocese in which they imply that supporting child murder is central to Jewish identity. That is a lie. There are many pro-life Jews.

Now Vatican officials have joined in on the slop apologetics. The pilgrimage organizers evidently asked for too much ***AND*** too little. A real Goldilocks situation.
A Mass? No
A Procession? No
Adoration? No
The correct answer was some secret 4th thing.

βThey have to prove Mary took a lifelong vow of virginity.β
Luke 1:34-
βHow will this be, since I do not know man?β
There is no way to interpret tht verse other than that Mary had already taken a vow of virginity.
Catholics have a LOT of explaining to do.
They have to prove Mary took a lifelong vow of virginity.
They have to prove Joseph also took a vow of celibacy.
They have to prove Joseph was a widower.
They have to prove Joseph had a previous wife.
They have to prove that supposed wife gave birth to children before she died.
They have to prove Jesusβ brothers were actually His cousins.
Or prove they were His stepbrothers.
They have to explain why Paul explicitly calls James βthe Lordβs brotherβ (Galatians 1:19).
They have to explain why Scripture names Jesusβ brothers and mentions His sisters (Matthew 13:55β56).
And after all that, they still have to prove Mary remained a virgin for the rest of her life.
Thatβs an awful lot of claims to defend a doctrine Scripture never explicitly teaches.
I underestimated the slop apologetics:
βThe pilgrimage was so unorganized they only made the request 2 months ago and also they asked for too much and also thereβs already an event coincidentally scheduled for that day, the whole day, basically the giant basilica will be closedβ
Such bishops never mind adding badly written prayers for their fundraising campaigns. Their actual problem is with the supernaturalism implicit in the St. Michael prayer.
Iβve heard some things from bishops over the years. But βit is not appropriate to add a prayer to the most perfect prayer, which is the Mass,β is an absolute new one for me.

Slop Apologetics:
Q. "The Vatican allowed a LGBTQABCXYZ group in St. Peter's"
R. "The Vatican allows lots of groups to come pray."
Q. "The Vatican banned the Summorum Pilgrimage from St. Peter's"
R. "They can ban whomever they wish from the basilica."
This is why the true Church of Jesus Christ is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church in union with the successor of St. Peter.
When no bishop has supreme authority, then some government will.
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has officially mandated the rebaptism of Ukrainian Orthodox Christians and banned them the use of the Ukrainian language in divine services.
On October 22, the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church approved a document titled "Guidelines for the Reception of Individuals from Ukrainian Schismatic Structures Wishing to Join the Russian Orthodox Church." It applies to people in Russian-occupied territories who were previously affiliated with the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC), the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP), or the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
The document outlines three procedures for joining the ROC. Notably, it stipulates that individuals baptized within the OCU, UOC-KP, or UAOC must undergo the Sacrament of Baptism again to join the ROC. Different rules apply to those originally baptized within the ROC, the Roman Catholic Church, or a Protestant denomination.
Regarding the accession of entire congregations to the ROC, the document states that such a community may not demand a distinct liturgical order or a special administrative status. Furthermore, the use of any language other than Church Slavonic in divine services is prohibitedβeven though the ROC elsewhere permits the use of various other languages, ranging from English to Japanese.

One of the coolest things weβve ever been a part of. It changed my life radically, and I think itβs going to change the world.

I intend the St. Michael prayer in order to disdain their work. I intend it to destroy the work of countless priests, some well-intentioned, others wicked, who stole from us our heritage. I intend to restore that heritage so that the next generation doesn't have to.

Roger Scruton recalls the exact moment he became a conservative during the 1968 Paris riots:
βWhen I looked down the street and saw all these rowdy students throwing stones at policemen, I just said to myself, βWhatever they believe, I believe the opposite.ββ
