Interview with Bishop Fellay - Looking Back and Moving Forward

JMJ

Bishop Fellay gives some perspectives on the last 24 years.

I think it is safe to say that the Church as a whole owes him a debt of gratitude for adhering to the principles of the Catholic Church and Archbishop Lefebvre. After all the principles of one and the same.

Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (de fide) - Expanded Listing

+ JMJ A friend had mentioned that he has seen a longer list of truths of the Faith than the one I posted here . I have finally discovered it online. I have yet to completely determine what dogmas were missed in the original, those I have found are highlighted. Source: A List Of The Dogmas Of The Catholic Church - Fr.

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ 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

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

+ JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them. I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest. This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis? When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due. This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Introducing a New Series: Stories

+ JMJ Over the decades (yep that long) I've heard and repeated a lot of stories to my family and friends - about family and friends :-). It was suggested that I pull them together and preserve here a record of these stories for the future. Some will be religious in nature, others about events that I witnessed directly or heard from other Traditional Catholics. So I have created a new Series called, for obvious reasons, Stories, in which I will recount the stories I've heard of Traditional Life, concealing the identities of those involved and embellishing with relish where my memory fails. Afterall, they're just stories. P^3

What's Up For 2026?

+ JMJ So the Vatican 2 (V2) crisis is well into its 60th year and the actual roots go back over a hundred years. Is there a possibility that the Catholic Church could take a step in the right direction in 2026? So here's my thoughts on the possible events and the probability of them occurring. Any element in the sub-notes is contingent upon primary element. The Canonical discussions between Rome and the SSPX are restarted (33%) The Pope removes the infamous "footnotes" (55%) The SSPX enters into a canonically regular life within the Catholic Church (85%) The SSPX Consecrates new Bishops (33%) With Papal Mandate (70%) Pope Leo XIV nullifies the Traditionis Custodes (18%) Neo-Modernists revolt (30%) Neo-Modernists enter into schism (50%) Just my first thoughts - - - we'll see what God's providence provides this year.
