Pretty historically unusual for women to threaten to murder strangers in broad daylight. My verdict on the American experiment: ❌ failure.

this is not a small group of people on the left anymore, but a large, dominant faction without whom democrats can’t win elections. and there is no debating them, because they aren’t interested in changing your mind. they just earnestly want you to die.

When you read medieval introductions they're like oh my worthless treatise might help 1-2 people—I didn't even want to write it but the brothers made me—and then it's amazing. But then you read the early moderns and they're like yeah I'm gonna solve this entire scientific field

right now in this treatise—but you know I haven't revised it because I have a dinner date tonight—anyway it's over for Aristotle that idiot. And it's like in the mid 20th century this spirit finally got into most of the theologians.

Of course, often in life the intelligent thing to say is "we don't know what we are talking about."

Everything good should be illegal. Everything bad should be mandatory. Let’s just get it over with.

In order to understand the depth of Plato’s disdain for democracy you have to imagine if the 1960s counterculture had been fervently pro-war and Woodstock had had ecstatic anthems about exterminating the Vietcong and then they had put Cardinal Ratzinger on trial and executed him.

If I had one message for Rome it would be… it looks a bit silly to always praise dialogue and never actually dialogue or explain yourself.

Anyway at some level I'm kind of bored and will move on to something else now. Rome has a course charted, nothing will change it, I should focus on other things.

The thing about LLMs is they're completely dependent on what humans have written. If Wikipedia and Reddit say the sun is green then GPT will tell you the sun is green.

Basically Rome is right but for some reason (I don't understand) this involves things like contradicting St Paul and generally being utterly uninspiring so that an average mass feels like some kind of play-acted meeting.

I think a good way of modelling Rome's mindset is "Catholicism (as a distinctive denomination) should not exist". Whereas trads absolutely do not want that.

At some point trads will have their Synod of Pistoia, Rome will give them their Auctorem fidei back, and then history will move on.

Leo is a weak Pope & the Trads should take full advantage of this. The ICKSP, the FSSP, the Dominicans, all the firm orders of the Church should treat him as a man with a weak grasp on authority & act accordingly. "Better to ask forgiveness than permission" should be the rule.

Basically trads think Vatican II has to be recovered from and Rome thinks it has to be fully implemented. And if you point this out to them they think you're evil. I guess they also get mad at the weather report for not saying "sunny every day forever".

I try my best to love the new order… am I not a model Winston Smith… but every week they throw something new at me

Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments: Liturgical extremism by "certain groups" provokes division and confusion through practices like kneeling for Holy Communion, wearing chapel veils.

I write this mainly because judging from on here you'd think that inevitably there's going to be a great Traddening very soon and I think this is some kind of delusive wishful thinking. The Vatican have set themselves up for some of these things for decades. They mean it!

Vatican to do list for the next 50 years: - remove the filioque from the creed - remove the tiara from emblems – more lay say in election of bishops - Amoris for contraception - deaconesses - more inter-communion with non-Catholics - more non-Catholic saints - common Easter date

There's a reason "Socratic dialogue" and Plato generally were most prized by democratic Great Books-type educators and not in actual Christendom—because the movement of the dialogues is exactly from democratic laxity to God. But they're not edifying reading for young seminarians.

(These are my predictions, not my wishlist, although I do support some of them. Also, banning the old mass – they've already said they'll do that.)

Post-conciliar popes so far have come in two types: Fraternal: talks about joy and the devil, anti-traditionalist, conciliates Communists Paternal: concerned with sexual morality, anti-totalitarian, more teacherly Not entirely sure which Leo is, maybe a bit more fraternal
