New Name for Traditional Catholicism

A thought just occurred to me as I watched the attached link sent by a friend ... even though the video is non-SSPX ... I thought perhaps we need to ditch the label 'Traditional Catholicism' in exchange for what it really is: Catholicism.

I'm a Catholic, everyone else that attaches themselves to the errors that swirl within the Catholic Church are hyphenated Catholics - i.e. Modern-Catholics.  Better yet, perhaps they should just identify themselves by the original label given by Leo XIII: Liberal-Catholics

Frankly, I'd rather be Catholic ... as I have been since my baptism!

    Agreed. Though it would make it difficult to converse with said Liberal-Catholics as both groups would be identifying themselves with the same word. It's similar to the problem with "Christians" of whatever denomination. Catholics being members of the One True Church founded by Jesus Christ, and Protestants being heretics who have willfully separated themselves from The Church, how do they, the Protestants, get to use the honorable and ancient title of Christian? But to distinguish between the two, we Catholics have, for the most part, dropped the use of "Christian" and gone to using "Catholic." Now we're forced to distinguish further and use "Traditional Catholic." Our words are being stolen.

      You are right ... I was in a grumpy mood. My apologies!

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

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

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

War: SSPX

By
 + JMJ We seem to be in transition from the persecution of the SSPX and other faithful Catholics to a civil war within the Catholic Church i.e. a true schism. Several Bishops, Priests and Dioceses have rejected outright Fiducia Supplicans (link) . This, in my opinion (IMO), is a new inflection point on the way to what will amount to an civil war within the Catholic Church. Pope Francis had spent the past ten years putting the final touches on the fault-lines within the Church and this may be the final blow that actually awakens Our Lord sleeping in the bow of the Barque of St. Peter.  That is something that we need to remember, Our Lord is with his Church, even on its way to Calvary. So, what is about to happen is that, IMO, faithful Catholics will find themselves in the same situation as the SSPX.  Persecuted and fighting for the heart of the Catholic Church. The history of the SSPX provides a microcosm of what we might expect to happen in the Catholic Church during a 'civil war&#
