In the Reign of Francis, Ultramontanism Is Alive and Well

Such slavishness and idolatry, if limited to the individual, wouldn't be my problem. But they pride themselves on thinking them more "orthodox" than you.

America may be a republic, but the Church is a monarchy. https://t.co/lPjyMNbOvX

Latins Are Blind

One of the many things that strikes me about this is the use of the term “Roman Catholics.” That’s a term you often see, but not one used much by, well, Catholics. pic.twitter.com/vxE4rpuHY2

Not one used much by... Roman Catholics. Because they don't know or acknowledge that Catholics other than those of the Roman rite or the patriarchate of Rome exist.

A Latinized Mindset

And Anglos in Canada and the United State need an inculturated Apostolic Christianity as well.

But will they take a public stand against feminism?

Putting Her Pain on Display

The Catholic Church has always been stuck in the past. It has caused my family & I so much pain over the years. For all the LGBTQ+ “Recovering Catholics” out there, you don’t need validation from this outdated institution #godlovesthegays 💙🌈🙏🏻 https://t.co/BNevZkfm1v

Dante Was Wrong

Now apologists for the empire will talk about the subsidiarity that had to exist because the emperor was not in a position to consolidate his power, and so his actual exercise of authority over other polities was limited by physical distance and lack of manpower. If things had been different, would Dante and Latin integralists have been celebrating the fact? Maybe not Dante, but I have doubts about the neo-integralists.

In Dante’s account, the universal monarchy (empire) includes and sustains nations under the principle of subsidiarity https://t.co/8rPUZ2mkQs

This Is Just Tired Old Social Conservatism Masquerading as Christianity

“Men have become inwardly focused, narcissistic...the result is spiritual impotence. Masculinity is undermined.

We have to get to the root of the problem, St. Joseph is the model of a decisive man, a model of a masculine heart...”@NCRegister https://t.co/7Te6LlMAZa

Can Latin Carnival Be Saved in Any Way?

Shorn of all its problematic elements, would it still be a healthy form of popular Latin piety?

Ahmari Slowly Drifting to the Right? Or Just Being Realistic?

By the standards being put forward by today's European Commission, Pope Francis is guilty of "EU hate crimes," let alone the leaders of conservative Catholic countries.

But go on waxing nostalgic about the EU's Catholic roots. https://t.co/kOx7ABjLcR

A Precarious Situation

Tempting God?

“I am very scared always. Only three of the [Carthusian] brothers know how to make [Chartreuse]—nobody else knows the recipe. And each morning they drive together to the distillery. And they drive a very old car. And they drive it very badly.” https://t.co/dX1U0vgLmv

More on Paul Kingsnorth

"One day I woke up and realized that the only passion I had at all for my Catholic faith was anger. That’s it. No love of Christ, no charity for anyone, no joy, nothing: just anger. That’s when I knew it was over." https://t.co/w6cF1OLLLM

Dreher

Bishop Barron to Youth Ministers

Friends, I was honored to record a short reflection for an assembly of youth ministers serving the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The faith must not be watered down. It must rather be presented in a way that is intellectually stimulating and meaningful. https://t.co/uIE1TiDSK9

— Bishop Robert Barron (@BishopBarron) October 23, 2020

Who's going to tell His Grace that youth ministry is one of the most emasculating experiences possible?

Too Soon?

And often an "incorrupt" body of a saint begins to corrupt after its physical integrity has been destroyed.

Imagine what his parents and siblings must have felt seeing his heart exposed for veneration https://t.co/saLg5aP58b

The Know-Nothings Were Right

Let Roman Catholic intellectuals stop whining about "anti-Catholicism" wrt to Amy Coney-Barrett when their own bishops are facilitating cultural Marxism.

The real redpill is that the Know-Nothings were basically right about the Ellis Island generation fundamentally reshaping American politics as much as the other way around. You can view it as good or bad but it happened. https://t.co/TBjvmWZuCI
