Differences are important

Differences are what allow us to distinguish between different elements.  Colour, size, shape, posture, body language, words, concepts ... the list goes on.

If it were not for differences, we couldn't tell between good and bad, man and woman, etc.

We also couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood.

The Remnant has posted a couple of articles on Cultural factor of the crisis of the Catholic Church ... and as I've identified in my cultural series cultural differences between Modern and Traditional Catholics is how the changes in the Church have been manifested.

From the liturgy, postures, and most importantly attitude - most Modern Catholics can no longer distinguish between the 'artifacts' of Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism and other religions.

This reprogramming of the Catholic psyche makes it very difficult for them to remain rational when confronted with Catholic Dogmas.  When faced with Catholic Truth, in my experience, they get defensive, cut-bait and run, or jump to another topic.  Why?  Because if the Traditional Catholics are right, the life and beliefs of a Modern Catholic are largely exposed as false.

For example ...

One of the mantra's that has seeped into the Modern Catholic psyche is that the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Hindu and Muslim religions are worship the same God.

While most Traditional Catholics would shout "NO!" ... there are some distinctions to be made.  The first, second, third and forth religions direct their worship to the God of Abraham. However, only the first has the complete and true understanding of God and more importantly offers True Worship.  Further, only the first is salvic - meaning that only the Catholic Religion is a means of Grace.  If any non-Catholic is saved it is in spite of the errors of their religion - not because of it.

This is a quick summary of Catholic Teaching.

So, just because someone directs their prayers to the God of Abraham - it doesn't mean that they are offering true worship as God has already made that clear.

The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II: Dr. John Lamont

By
+ JMJ This is the second article from Dr. Lamont from his lecture given in May 2014. P^3 Source Part A: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny Source Part B: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny 8 May2014 The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II By John Lamont To understand how the Jesuit conception of obedience departed from earlier conceptions, it is helpful to compare it with the teaching of St. Thomas on obedience. The fundamental difference between the two is that St. Thomas considers the proper object of obedience to be the precept of the superior (2a2ae q. 104 a. 2 co., ad 3). Obedience that seeks to forestall the expressed will of the superior does not bear on what the superior wants or thinks in general, but only on what the superior intends to command. St. Ignatius’s lowest degree of obedience, which he does not consider to be virtuous, is thus what St. Thomas considers to be the only form of obedience. St. Thomas holds that St. Ignatius’s alleged higher forms of o...

Open Letter to Cardinal Gantin - July 6, 1988

By
There has been some discussion (read lots) about the term 'Conciliar Church'. I have posted this letter written by the Superior General and District Superiors of the SSPX after the 1988 Consecrations. Of particular interest is that the 'Conciliar Church' being referred to as a system. My paraphrase would be that the SSPX regards the 'conciliar Church' as an error within the Church.

In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Rome and the SSPX - Version 2026 Part 6b: Principles and Rules for Surviving this Crisis of the Catholic Church (Principle 1)

By
 + JMJ Principle 1: Realize that something is amiss in the Catholic Church The world in which I had my Traditional Awakening, is one in which practically anything pre-Conciliar such as liturgy, doctrinc, and even dogmas are either suppressed, ignored or re-framed to be acceptable to the ‘world’. What is more, the people adhering to these pre-conciliar teachings and liturgy are persecuted by other members of the Catholic Church. The things that non-Trads say about Trads can be quite extreme. For example, accusations against Traditionalists include that they are: A revival of the Jansenists (link) , Schismatics, Heretics, Uncharitable, Lefebrists Radicals Integrists When one group of Catholics is persecuted by the others for simply wanting to live as Catholics before them did for generations … well something is wrong. Further, we need to realize that when what was previously condemned is now promoted and what was previously promoted as the trut...

Forget the Reformation - It is time for Abrogation - Louie Verrecchio

By
Mr. Verrecchio has pointed out one solution to this crisis that is a dream of many Traditional Catholics of my acquaintance: The complete obliteration of the Novus Ordo Missae. If this were to occur, undoubtedly a revolt would occur within the Church, but the battle lines would be much clearer.  I assume that a lot of material heretics would make the transition to being formal heretics. P^3 Prayer Penance Patience Courtesy of Louie Verrecchio A recent article by Fr. Thomas Kocik on the New Liturgical Movement website,  Reforming the Irreformable? , is getting some well-deserved attention in traditional circles. (Do yourself a favor and read it in its entirety if you haven’t already.)
