In North America, the truth is evident, we need to adapt to  living in an InChristian world where our values are in conflict with those being pushed upon society.

India: Catholic Schools in Danger

August 30, 2019
Source: fsspx.news


Since the recent re-election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, hostility against Christian schools has moved up a notch in India. As proof, this declaration by a high magistrate openly evoking the danger for young girls to attend such schools.
The case dates back to August 15, 2019, when Judge Vaidyanathan, who sits in the Madras High Court, publicly warned parents against Christian schools which in his view are “a danger to the future of girls.”

The magistrate was speaking after a sordid history of abuse that a teacher at Madras Christian College—a Protestant institution—was guilty of against a minor, and the story of which the media has picked up.

Reacting to these remarks, the Conference of Bishops of Tamil Nadu (TNBC) and other Christian associations, have strongly protested, expressing their concerns. Because what Judge Vaidyanathan is basically criticizing is Christian teachers, who he claims, are “forcing Hindu girls to convert to Christianity,” which is a crime in India.

“The judge’s statement about forced conversions is unfounded and totally off topic on the merits of the case,” said Ravi Santosham, president of the Indian Christian Association. For his part, Fr. L. Sahayaraj, deputy secretary of the Council of Bishops of Tamil Nadu, told the Crux news website that the magistrate’s remarks were “regrettable,” especially since “a forced conversion is not at all in question in this specific case,” that of the abuse that took place at Madras Christian College.

Hinduist Pressure

Since 2014, India has been led by the Bharatiya Janata Nationalist Party (BJP), which has close links with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu militant organization advocating the eradication of Christianity, and Hindutva, i.e., the forced return of all Indians to the idolatry of their ancestors.

The anti-Christian attacks have increased in the last five years in the country, with many Christians arrested for “attempted conversion,” not to mention the many vandalized places of worship.
In India, the Society of Saint Pius X has been exercising its apostolate for many years. In Palayamkottai, an orphanage and a school provide an authentic Christian education.

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.

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.
