Tradical retirement plan

JMJ

After a look at all the balls (responsibilities) that I have to keep in the air - I have concluded that I need to retire from blogging.

I will leave this blog active as a resource but will not be writing articles or cross posting interesting ones.

After 4 years I have reached the following conclusions:

  • A strong interiour life is essential to surviving and thriving in this crisis of the Church.
  • Knowledge and understanding of the Teachings of the Church as the Church understands them is essential to forming a proper perspective on the crisis.
  • Restoration of sanity in the Church will require a major cultural change.  
  • Fall out from this will result in a major event in the life of the Church. If you thought V2 was a big event - this will be bigger as the results of the V2 'wound' in the Church has festered for 50 years.
  • Sin in another does not justify sin in ourselves.
  • Conspiracy theories lead to a rejection of legitimate authority.
  • Resistors have lost perspective and try to extract the motes in others eyes, while there are beams in their own.

    I've only just discovered your blog. I find it very helpful and informative. I hope you don't retire. Going a gear slower might be worth a try. God bless you.

      Hi Wormwood!

      Thanks for the encouraging words!

      Perhaps things will change - but time will tell. It took me three weeks to have the time to login to respond to these comments!!!

    I'm glad you're not taking the blog down! I will leave the blog in my RSS feed just in case you change your mind. ;-) But yes, I too need to strengthen my interior life. God bless.

      Spiritual Life as well as Family Life were suffering!

      I had two professional blogs which I have also shutdown.

      We'll see how things go!

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By
+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

By
+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment.  Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid.  No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein.  Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse?  The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin.  Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service.  It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

Catholic Culture - The Edgar Schein Model Analysis of the Pre and Post Conciliar Culture

By
 + JMJ    So ... I was thinking ... I've used Edgar Schein's (RIP) organizational cultural model (link ) in my research  ... why not apply it in a comparison between the Catholic Organizational Culture - PRE and POST Second Vatican Culture? Of course, this will be from my own perspective, I'm certain that others will think differently. 😁 Also, apologies for a rather long article. Graphic: https://mutomorro.com/edgar-scheins-culture-model/ Below is a quick mapping of the cultural factors that I could think of.  Since the Church is vast and composed of millions of Souls, it is necessarily a limited cultural map.  Yet, I think it will still be useful to assess what has changed since the Second Vatican Council.

Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit

By
+ JMJ Something that always and I do mean always causes me to cringe interiourly is when non-Trad Catholics use the words "Holy Spirit" instead of "Holy Ghost". First, this is a natural response because of long usage of "Holy Ghost" as soon as I hear the word "Holy" in a prayer, my brain automatically is prepped to hear "Ghost" afterwards.  This creates a short period of interiour dissonance (discomfort). Now the question I would like to ponder today is whether or not there is a difference and whether or not there is a right way vs wrong way.
