It’s UNREAL that these slides are from an actual FBI report.
Traditional Latin Mass. Conservative family values. Opposition to abortion. “Rejection of modernity.”
As a Catholic who attends the TLM, it’s disturbing to see ordinary Catholic beliefs and practices presented in this context by the FBI.
I’m grateful to the Trump administration for bringing this detailed report to the public and taking steps to ensure this never happens again.
Same experience with architects. During the scamdemic I went deep on architectural research and talked to a lot of them. They all spoke the language of design. None of them had any real connection to the history of architecture. No curiosity about form (beyond materiality) or history at all.
Every time I meet an attorney, I assume he or she is interested in the law, the history of law, why laws are as they are, the current big legal questions, etc. Almost never is this the case.
“The truth consists in knowing what God is and what we are. Justice consists in our recognizing that God, as our Creator, has a right to command us and that we, as His creatures, are bound to obey Him.”
I went to confession Sunday, had a guest Priest. Confessed (amongst other things) that I had unfairly yelled at my husband in anger. Father told me to definitely keep yelling at my husband, because he wants me “to express myself”. I’m very confused.
After you die, nobody will remember how many hours you worked, or much money you made. They will remember how often you went to Mass and how much you could bench.
@Credo_AF_ My ex wife was catholic. Her family was from some strict Latin branch. They had a bunch of kids. Mass was entirely in Latin. They did not view the Vatican as relevant.
@TLM_Ryan Sincere question: how do we celebrate trad converts to the faith if the line-going-up isn’t enough. Can the data be parsed to show conversions by mass-type?
Hundreds of Catholic devotees wrap themselves in DRIED BANANA LEAVES and cover their bodies with MUD
The Mud People Festival is held annually in the Philippine village of Bibiclat to honor St. John the Baptist
We don’t wade into the discourse and slam on Sede’s
We don’t jump into the arena and dunk on diocesan TLMers
We don’t take swings at the-TLM-is-a-preference crowd
We don’t take potshots at the FSSP or the ICKSP
If you’ve ever tried debating a Protestant, this is their go-to:
How do you [insert literally any question about their beliefs]? “The Holy Spirit”
How do you know you’re interpreting scripture properly? “The Holy Spirit “
@RorateCaeli A decade ago my diocese went through a synodal process to develop a strategic plan. After much ‘listening’ the end result was full of progressive ideals. Anyone who objected was accused of interfering with the Holy Spirit.
