Wars and Rumours of Wars - US vs ISIS

The US Defense Secretary has written an article (Defense News) and I'd like to highlight a few elements that I believe give an indication of where things are heading.

Building on some of the decisions we made early this year, we have significantly accelerated our campaign against ISIL. We have built out new special operations capabilities in Iraq and Syria, stepped up our air campaign and are working with local, capable, motivated ground forces to pressure ISIL strongholds from multiple directions at once. Following the attacks in Paris, NATO allies Germany, the United Kingdom and France have all brought additional capabilities to coalition. I have personally reached out to nearly 40 allies and partners around the world asking them to step up their contributions. Together, ISIL is an evil that we must and will deliver a lasting defeat.

What the US has failed to understand is that they are in a War of Religion and that you can't bomb ideas.  The only solution is a religious one, but with their materialist point of view, the US can't see it that way.

This is simply the latest in a series of 'US Foreign Policy'  failures that really started with World War I and has resulted in the destabilizing of a number of regimes throughout Eastern Europe.  The most notable examples are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and the list goes on to include South American countries as well.

The US just can't stop meddling with the self determination of other countries (read: Ukraine where the CIA allegedly assisted in the overthrow of a legitimately elected but Pro-Russian, Government) - they have to interfere.

The result is pain, suffering and bloodshed.

This is how I think the future is going to roll out:

  • The Muslims are going to continue to succeed in their war against Christendom because a strong culture always dominates a weak culture.  In case you haven't noticed, the West's culture is now weak and  self centered.  
  • China will continue to exert its influence in Asia.  Keeping in mind that it has inherited the mantle of the dominant communist world power from Russia.
  • Russia will support those regimes that are close to its borders and traditional allies. One aspect is that it wants to maintain the buffer states to protect its core territories. Morally, believe it or not, Russia is now superior to the West as it is actually acting against the moral diseases of our time.
  • The US, financially and morally exhausted with do what it always does. Compromise
  • An Islamic military force conventional or asymmetric will attack Rome
  • Pope will consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
  • Russia will save the Pope and the Church
  • Muslims will convert to Catholicism en masse.



I recently heard a good conference on Battle Joy by John Vennari. I hope to write an article on this at a later time.

Sedevacantism and Heresy

By
+ JMJ I've observed three core reactions during this crisis of the Catholic Church. The Pope can't be wrong, therefore this is the New Springtime The Pope is infallible in certain conditions and there is a problem with many things that have been said, done and written, during and after the Second Vatican Council (even in the Council doc). The Pope can't be wrong, this stuff is wrong, therefore he isn't Pope. Of course there are a spectrum of responses in between, but these are the key elements. The 1st group holds the words of the Pope et al as impeccable. Here, let me get you a Koran to kiss... The 3rd group holds that they've all been heretics and lost their office.  There is also a spectrum within this group.   One answer is that they are very poor judges of heresy.  The link below provides some reasoned thought that, I'm happy to say, is completely consistent with Church Teaching.

What does it mean "I'm a Traditional Catholic"?

By
+ JMJ I was visiting with a friend the other day when he said: "I'm a traditionalist". This surprised me because, while I could imagine him saying he was a "conservative or faithful Catholic", I didn't really think that the "traditionalist" label would stick. This got me to to thinking about what it means, or should mean when a person shakes you hand and says: "Hi, I'm a Traditional Catholic".

Rome and SSPX - Version 2026 Part 2

By
 + JMJ Part 2 Detailed Synopsis and Timeline (ChatGPT) At this point, I took the shortcut of uploading all of my previous links and the latest SSPX and Rome links to ChatGPT. This way we’ll see how ChatGPT interprets the world as presented on the internet. P^3 Briefing Memo Subject: Rome–SSPX Relations and Planned Episcopal Consecrations (July 1, 2026) Prepared for: Ecclesial / Academic / Media Briefing Date: February 2026 Issue Overview The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has announced its intention to consecrate new bishops on July 1, 2026 , potentially without a papal mandate . The Holy See has acknowledged ongoing talks with the SSPX and stated its desire to avoid rupture, but has not granted approval nor outlined canonical consequences. The situation revives unresolved tensions dating to 1988 and raises questions about schism, authority, and doctrinal continuity. Background Founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the SSPX seeks to preserve pre-Vat...

Schism

By
There is some question as to whether the Pope can be in actual schism as per the Cardinal Torquemada: Citing the doctrine of Pope Innocent III, Torquemada further teaches:  "Thus it is that Pope Innocent III states [De Consuetudine] that, it is necessary to obey the Pope in all things as long as he, himself, does not go against the universal customs of the Church, but should he go against the universal customs of the Church, 'he need not be followed' . . . " [Cited from A Theological Vindication of Roman Catholic Traditionalism, Father Paul Kramer, B.Ph., S.T.D., M. Div. (2nd edition, St. Francis Press, India) p. 29. The full quotation from Cardinal Torquemada reads, "By disobedience, the Pope can separate himself from Christ despite the fact that he is head of the Church, for above all, the unity of the Church is dependent on its relationship with Christ. The Pope can separate himself from Christ either by disobeying the law of Christ, or by commanding som...
