«The SSPX says Tradition contains the remedies for the Church’s deepest ills.
Leo XIV says Vatican II is non-negotiable. Those two claims cannot be reconciled by another study group.
If Tradition is the rule, Vatican II must be judged by what came before it. If Vatican II is the rule, Tradition must be reinterpreted, trimmed, apologized for, and managed until it fits the new order.
That is the whole war. The SSPX profession has forced the issue with unusual clarity. It does not ask Leo to be nicer or for a better liturgical compromise. It does not ask to be one approved flavor inside a pluralistic conciliar menu. It says the faith is one, the Church is one, the truth is immutable, the Mass is sacrificial, Christ is King, false religions do not save, moral disorder cannot be blessed, and the Holy Ghost does not inspire today what He condemned yesterday. Leo’s Rome can either accept that as Catholic or condemn it as schismatic. If it condemns it, Catholics should pay attention. The condemnation would say less about the SSPX than about the men issuing it. Apostate systems always reveal themselves by what they cannot tolerate. This one can tolerate almost anything except the old Catholic faith spoken without apology.»

J.R.R. TOLKIEN ON THE DEAD END OF PROTESTANTISM
I read this letter in the years leading up to my conversion. As I discovered, not only was Tolkien right about the mistaken search for “primitive” purity in the Church (read Scripture—it never existed), but the primitive church—to the extent we have artifacts of it in documents, archaeology, etc.—was very Catholic in its beliefs and practices. What I had been told my whole life were “medieval accretions” were widespread in the ancient Church, and defended from both Scripture, and the constant practice of the Church since the Apostolic age. The protestant claim to have restored the ancient Faith was, I discovered, completely false.
To this day, I have not yet found anything uniquely protestant in the ancient Catholic Church, except (I am sad to say) the heresies. All of them—no matter how different their doctrines from one another (and virtually none of them resembled protestantism)—ultimately relied on a novel/erroneous interpretation of Scripture (including subtracting or adding to its canon), coupled with a rejection of the authority of the Church. In this, each of them resembled protestantism. It was very sobering to realize that the Church Fathers’ descriptions of how heresy and heretics operated was disturbingly similar to how my native protestantism had operated since the 16th century.
TOLKIEN’S LETTER
The 'protestant' search backwards for 'simplicity' and directness—which, of course, though it contains some good or at least intelligible motives, is mistaken and indeed vain. Because 'primitive Christianity' is now and in spite of all 'research' will ever remain largely unknown; because 'primitiveness' is no guarantee of value, and is, and was in great a reflection of ignorance. Grave abuses were as much an element in Christian liturgical behavior from the beginning as now. (St Paul's strictures on Eucharistic behavior are sufficient to show this!)
Still more because 'my church' was not intended by Our Lord to be static or remain in perpetual childhood; but to be a living organism (likened to a plant), which develops and changes in externals by the interaction of its bequeathed divine life and history—the particular circumstances of the world into which it is set.
There is no resemblance between the 'mustard-seed' and the full-grown tree. For those living in the days of its branching growth, the Tree is the thing, for the history of a living thing is part of its life, and the history of a divine thing is sacred.
The wise may know that it began with a seed, but it is vain to try and dig it up, for it no longer exists, and the virtue and powers that it had now reside in the Tree…But they will certainly do harm if they are obsessed with the desire of going back to the seed or even to the first youth when it was (as they imagine) pretty and unafflicted by evils.

McDonald's verliest de rechtszaak
tegen chef Jamie Oliver, die bewees dat het voedsel dat ze verkopen ongeschikt is voor menselijke consumptie omdat het zeer giftig is.
Dat was zo'n acht jaar geleden... maar niemand leek zich erom te bekommeren... Chef Jamie Oliver heeft een rechtszaak gewonnen tegen 's werelds grootste fastfoodketen.
Oliver demonstreert hoe hamburgers worden gemaakt.
Volgens Oliver worden de vette stukken vlees "gewassen" met waterstofammoniak en vervolgens gebruikt om de hamburger in de vleespasteiverpakking te vullen. Zelfs vóór dit proces, zegt de tv-presentator, was dit vlees ongeschikt voor menselijke consumptie.
Oliver, een radicale activistische chef-kok die de strijd aanbindt met de voedselindustrie, zegt:
"We hebben het over vlees dat als hondenvoer wordt verkocht en vervolgens aan mensen wordt geserveerd. Naast de kwaliteit van het vlees is ammoniumzuur schadelijk voor de gezondheid." Oliver noemt het "het roze mestproces".
Welk weldenkend mens zou een stuk vlees dat in waterstofammoniak is gedrenkt in de mond van een kind stoppen?
In een ander initiatief demonstreerde Oliver hoe kipnuggets worden gemaakt: Nadat de "beste delen" zijn geselecteerd, wordt de rest – vet, huid, kraakbeen, ogen, botten, kop, poten – onderworpen aan een Mec-Split-mengsel genaamd Canica – een eufemisme dat door voedselingenieurs wordt gebruikt. Deze bloedroze pasta, die wordt ontgeurd, gebleekt, opgefrist en opnieuw geverfd, wordt vervolgens door bloem gehaald en gefrituurd. Het blijft in normaal gesproken gedeeltelijk gehydrogeneerde oliën, oftewel giftige stoffen.
De voedselindustrie gebruikt ammoniumwaterstof als antimicrobieel middel, waardoor McDonald's vlees in zijn hamburgers kan gebruiken dat ongeschikt is voor menselijke consumptie.
Nog alarmerender is echter het feit dat deze op ammoniumwaterstof gebaseerde stoffen wereldwijd in de voedselindustrie worden beschouwd als "legale componenten van het productieproces", met de goedkeuring van de gezondheidsautoriteiten. Consumenten zullen dus nooit weten welke stoffen er in hun voedsel zitten.
STOP ALSJEBLIEFT MET HET GEVEN VAN DIT NEPPE VOEDSEL AAN UW KINDEREN, want NU WEET U HET.

So what is the kalergi plan?
well it was written up in the 1925 book Praktischer Idealismus.
Get off facebook and read it.
It’s only conspiracy until you read the book and look at exactly what is happening around you today
Father Dan Reehill: "There could be a curse over the Disclosure Day Movie for all who watch it could have demons provoke them" 👽😱
"Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day movie could be consecrated to Satan, Demons could be attached to the movie & those who watch it could have demonic forces of terror to shake their faith"
"It could provoke demons of fear & terror"
"This may be a reason to not watch Disclosure Day"
Incredible words by the renowned Exorcist & Catholic Priest from the Diocese of Nashville
@WallStreetApes@GuntherEagleman Thankfully, they will never suffer any penalties and will continue this theft forever (or at least that is how it appears to be going).
@DrJesseMorse Financial penalties mean NOTHING to these people because their profits always outweigh any penalties.
There needs to be severe jail time.
Saw this a long time ago.
Spent years researching these things with an open mind to uncover answers.
Conclusion: Those who do not closely follow Jesus, will very likely follow these beings and accept all that they say; without exception.
🚨AMERICAN FARMERS SOUND THE ALARM: STOP BUYING TYSON CHICKEN!
A veteran farmer who actually raised these birds for Tyson is issuing a dire warning to every family in America:
“I will NEVER eat Tyson chicken again.”
Here’s why you shouldn’t either:
These aren’t normal chickens. Tyson (and nearly every major brand) uses a genetically modified “Frankenchicken” called the Cobb 500 — a hyper-engineered Cornish Cross bred to grow insanely fast. Ready for slaughter in just 4-6 weeks.
- Their legs break under their own weight.
- Their hearts fail.
- They never fully feather. They can’t even lay eggs.
- Packed by the millions in massive, dark warehouses where they never see sunlight or breathe fresh air — just sit, eat, poop, and get pumped full of antibiotics because they’re so unhealthy.
Salmonella rates are sky-high. Processing plants churn out millions of birds per week in conditions most people would find horrifying. The nutritional value? Basically gone.
This farmer raised them on pasture herself and still says: Enough.
American families deserve better.
Support real local farmers raising slow-growing, pasture-raised, antibiotic-free heritage breeds. Your health — and your kids’ health — depends on it.
Stop buying Tyson. Stop buying store chicken until you know the source.
Share this if you care about what your family is actually eating. Farmers are speaking out — it’s time we listened.
🚨 JUST IN- Chief Exorcist of Washington has been FIRED for his statements on demons and UFOs
“Statement from Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, on Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
The Archdiocese of Washington announced today that Robert Cardinal McElroy has removed Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, N.Y., as an exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington, and ended all affiliation between the archdiocese and the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal located in Washington, D.C.
Cardinal McElroy said that statements made by Monsignor Rossetti linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”
