I am a retrograde Catholic, I do not suffer modernists; but I also believe in ending cannabis prohibition. It began as an attack on Catholic immigrants & has historically been used to subjugate the poor. It is an afront to medicine & manufacturing & responsible for deforestation.
The traddy trads are confused about the virtue of religion, which is about outward acts of reverence, especially those which are prescribed by those with authority to do so. It's not about aesthetics, taste, "feeling fed" (and oh how they will jeer at non-trads for this!) or even tradition - it is about the outward and public manifestation of a will conformed to the will of God through the will of the Church.
You may have a nicer, easier time at a TLM. But if you cannot find one to attend for days of obligation, then you are being given a cross in the NO which you are bound to pick up and carry, or else you are not worthy of Him.
"But it's goofy and weird and I don't like it! Reeeeee!!!"
Yeah. The Cross is distasteful. Welcome to Christianity.
@RyanGabriel_RC I love that the Church hides behind Vatican II whilst violating nearly every document within it, and certainly violating the spirit of those documents, I'm becoming convinced that none of the Popesplainers have even read the documents & are just engaging in ultramontanism.
@RyanGabriel_RC "The Smoke of Satan has truly entered the Church." - Pope Paul VI
Saint Vincent of Léríns, ora pro nobis, please protect us from all innovation;
Saint Prosper of Aquitaine, ora pro nobis, please protect the Lex Orendi;
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy,
Lord have mercy.
Amen.
@FinnishZoomer@percivalian_ I guarantee you've never read the documents, certainly not with the lens of the Hermeneutic of Continuity, or you would realize that the Church itself has done nothing but violate the Spirit of Vatican II since the Council.
@HierB4TheAC@percivalian_ So you don't believe there will be a Great Apostasy, as was prophesied many times, including in Scripture? That's what it means to take the position that the Church could never perform a Mass that harms souls. You seriously think the LGBTQCIA+ masses aren't harming their souls?

@volfanin10acee@fw_andyyy Totally worth ruining people's lives and throwing them in prison under threat of being shot if they refuse to go...you're a disgusting human being, far more disgusting than any smell that annoys you.

MIKE JOHNSON: “If we lose the midterms, the Dems will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends.”
This is actually the best case I’ve heard for voting Democrat.
