🇬🇧 CONVENT AND ST PATRICK BURIAL SITE BURN DOWN IN DOWNPATRICK, MEDIA SAYS NOTHING
Yesterday the convent and the burial place of Saint Patrick himself in Downpatrick was reduced to ashes.
Locals say it was arson. The resting place of the patron saint of Ireland set on fire, and the legacy media has nothing to say. The politicians have nothing to say.
A Catholic site tied to one of the most important figures in the history of these islands burns, and you get silence.
That silence tells you everything.
@andrewc44104127 No, King John will always hold that distinction.
Charles “the oath breaker” will be the most unpopular monarch in living memory for many years to come.

A lot of Catholics are saying that unless liberal (rainbow) priests are excommunicated, it is hypocritical of Rome to excommunicate the SSPX. While I understand the sentiment, this is "apples and oranges". The SSPX situation is not fundamentally a liberal/conservative issue but a Catholic ecclesiology question. Do bishops (whether liberal or conservative) have the right to consecrate new bishops against the express wishes of the Pope? The danger of saying "yes" to such a claim is that such a precedent would also obviously help liberal schismatics as much as conservative ones. Liberals could start consecrating the most wildly unorthodox bishops you could imagine (in openly gay relationships, radically pro abortion, etc). There would be no limit.
This question on whether the Pope gets to decide who is made bishop is a much bigger question than whether you like the TLM or not. It is a much bigger question than what to do when a particular priest does something scandalous. It is the very foundation of Catholicism at risk.
Printed on The Telegraph’s front cover today:
“Should white people really stop having children?”
Why is The Telegraph printing genocidal language & putting it on their front page? Absolutely disgusting.
Also notice the lower case ‘white’.
Just 2 days ago, they did a hit piece on us for wanting to reverse mass migration.
All very telling… we know why.
@Scholastic101 Because for some people it’s not about tradition, it’s about resenting authority.
It’s clear when some of these people try to defend the SSPX that they are really doing is falling into protestantism.
The SSPX are a Pandora’s box with beautiful liturgies.

“Crimes most foul”
A beautiful thing about “crimes most foul” is that it allocates appropriate power to judges when it comes to a myriad of crimes.
