This essay is my attempt at offering a positive vision for the laity and their mission of building Christendom today. I am interested in having conversations with anybody who is planning, or involved in, relevant constructive projects.

Perhaps someone could make a web-site listing prelates who have in such a way publicly and clearly sinned against the faith (mere ambiguity would not suffice.) This would be rendering a service to the Church. aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.III.Q82…

Feast of St. Carlos Borromeo, celebration of the Legitimate Dynasty. St. Carlos Borromeo, a pillar of the Counter-Reformation and a holy priest. There is no tradition or Carlism without legitimacy. #Catholic #Carlism #Carlist

Replying to @ClarkeMicah
Forsaking all law? It was the common law of Christendom, implied by the edict of Thessalonica, that those who abandoned Peter's faith lost the right to rule. Disembowelling priests was not England defending herself but the New Religion defending itself and its stolen goods.

In a book called 'Boston Priests, 1848-1910: A Study of Social and Intellectual Change', the author quotes a priest editor of Bishop Ireland's newspaper who said in 1894, "The tendency of this country is not to rattle the dry bones of heresy. Theology will continue to grow... We do insist more on... essentials than phylacteries." And in the same year, the country's archbishops met in Philadelphia, and "decided they would not promulgate Rome's decree prohibiting secret societies unless forced to do so."

La revolución francesa asesinó a más mujeres solo por ser religiosas en 3 años (cientos de ellas) que todos los procesos de brujería del santo oficio español en 300 años (6).
No one has ever been killed in the name of atheism

“We live in a democratic and liberal pigsty like the prodigal son in the swine pen. But the prodigal son longed for the Father’s house; we, on the other hand, wallow like pigs with no memory of anything.” -An Argentine Carlist

Refusing to govern as bishops of Christ's Church.
An interesting exchange here between William F. Buckley Jr. and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen from 1970, where the good Bishop’s answers sound incredibly contemporary and not entirely satisfactory. Almost as if the Church has been in stasis for 50 years.

Following the "NAP", Rothbard considers blackmail a legitimate form of business because the civil power does not have the right to force another not to spread lies about someone. Likewise, no one would have the right to force another to feed them, so "parents would have the legal right not to feed the child, that is, to let it die." In fact, no one has the right to force them to act as parents in any way, and they can "sell the trust rights to their children to anyone who wants to buy them for a pre-agreed price." And the sale of children was precisely proposed by Milei's libertarian party La Libertad Avanza.

Modern "diversity" is a direct consequence of liberal pluralism. Most decry the symptom but exalt the disease. If the English people refuse to be a people defined by common worship then they will be replaced by peoples that are.
How utterly depressing. Trafalgar Square is an iconic landmark which has, for generations, served as the go-to venue in the capital for political rallies - thereby demonstrating our commitment to open debate, freedom of expression and pluralism. Now the entire square is defiled by hideous d̶i̶v̶e̶r̶s̶i̶t̶y̶ security barriers. We shouldn't have to put up with this. (Video source: facebook.com/reel/2268330843…)

Let’s not be left wing or right wing Modernists, let’s be Catholics, which means traditionalists.

What is the easiest way to ferret out libertarians among our ranks, i.e. those who defend the tenets of economic liberalism? See if they refuse to uphold these two principles of Catholic economics: 1. The State and subordinate public-authorities are the “true and effective directing principle” of economic affairs, not free competition of corporations and individuals 2. The State has the right (and often duty) to positively intervene in the economy to remedy various evils

Trump is pro-abortion (with some exceptions), pro-sodomy, pro-adultery, pro-IVF, pro-contraception, “pro-gay marriage”, pro-religious indifferentism, etc. He is objectively an enemy of Jesus Christ, the natural law and Divine Revelation. This is total deception.

A just humiliation and punishment. "As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps." - Isaiah 3:12
The new head (laywoman) of the Vatican Dicastery of Communications is a feminist and made an appeal to Francis in 2022 for more female representation: “I think it’s because he’s surrounded by men [laughing]”

Each radical phase of Revolution is followed by its consolidation through institutionalisation. Anglicanism follows the English Deformation, Napoleon and his Code follows the French Revolution, JPII and BXVI followed Vatican 2. Now Leo XIV consolidates the Bergoglioan Synodal phase. - Miguel Quesada

I just finished recording a long discussion with @VendeeRadio. We covered, among other things: - the American Revolution - separation of powers - naturalism and freemasonry - Leo XIII and Americanism - the conciliar understanding of religious freedom - Jewish power and the post-liberals Expect the episode to be out next week and, if you’re not already familiar with Theo’s work, consider aquatinting yourself.
