The Brave New World - Freedom of Speech for all ... except those who disagree with us!

+
JMJ

In reality the principle of separation of Church and State is a principle that separates the state from reality.

Just label something as a 'religious' opinion and suddenly it is banned from public life.

Scientifically we know that a Fetus (latin for Baby) is a human baby from a human father and mother.

We know that killing innocents is murder

We know that abortion is the deliberate pre-meditated killing of an innocent and is therefore murder.

To slice through the gordian knot, we just have to science based decision making and recognised legally that a baby in the womb is a human being.

Then the fantasy house of cards will come tumbling down.

An Apple with a Bitter Taste

August 11, 2019
Source: fsspx.news

On July 1, 2019, Apple’s information platform removed the contents of the LifeSite channel, without any prior notice. The pro-life media responded by launching a petition that collected more than 20,000 signatures in just 24 hours.
Woe to the one who does not share the values ​​of the Apple: LifeSite, an American pro-life news site, learned on July 1, 2019 that all of its content was removed and blocked from the Apple News application.

Apple News is the world's first news and information application with more than 5 billion articles read per month, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. This platform offers a selection of articles from the headlines of the press that meet its ideological standards: promotion of globalism and the fight against all forms of discrimination.

LifeSiteNews is accused of intolerance by Apple because this Christian site defends natural morality and does not participate in the propaganda favoring of homosexuality. John-Henry Westen, its editor in chief, stated that Apple’s decision is “frightening” from a “rather left-oriented” society that censors conservative views even when shared by a majority of citizens .

To fight what he sees as “blatant censorship of freedom of expression,” LifeSite launched an online petition that has collected more than 20,000 signatures in twenty-four hours. As of the 1st of August there were 35,000 signatories.

The petition yielded results. On August 6, 2019 the Apple News team informed LifeSite that they have “re-evaluated” its channel. LifeSite's channel and articles are once again available on the Apple News application.

"Father, Should I Attend That Mass?" Advice on Attending Non-SSPX Latin Masses

 + JMJ I see that the 'resistors' are in a tizzy because Fr. Robinson used them as an example instead of the sedevacantists. What is interesting is that you can apply the exact same reasons against going to a sede mass as that of the 'resistors'. Namely: On the other extreme are those situations where an SSPX priest knows that a certain non-SSPX traditionalist venue is a grave danger to the faith . Frankly, most, if not all, of the Resistance Masses would fall into this category. In many cases, the behavior of these priests has been and continues to be scandalous, by their (A) spirit, their (B) preaching, and their indiscriminate conferral of the (C) priesthood and (D) episcopacy. To attend a Mass with such ongoing scandals poses a serious danger to the souls of the faithful. Yep, looking at A,B,C and D the shoe fits. On this basis the "resistors" = "sedevacantists".

Correcting Caricatures of the SSPX

 + JMJ Introduction First, a little background on the FSSP St. John Vianney Chapel in Mission Hill Kansas.  After the 1988 consecrations and the foundation of the FSSP there was a consistent trend of Dioceses allowing the SSPX to run chapels and churches near SSPX locations. As with any 'organizational change' there were those who didn't agree with the change and no longer sought the sacraments from the SSPX. I heard from friends that in that era there was a lot of anger and tension (on both sides) between the St. Mary's SSPX and Mission Hill FSSP.  Second, there have been caricatures of the SSPX position (some are evident below) in which personal opinions of SSPX priests and laity are taken as the official position or conflated with those of sedevacantists or 'resistance'. Recent Perspectives of the SSPX Position In the shadow of the consecrations a fever pitch accusations and opinions how surfaced - many of which include caricatures of the SSPX positions, of w...

SSPX: Why Is the SSPX So Criticized?

 + JMJ As long as you are ok with what happens in other Catholic Churches, Traditional Catholics will be left 'alone'.  This is a paraphrase of words spoken by an Archbishop to Traditional Catholics (with a sprinkling of SSPX) who had requested the Traditional Latin Mass under Summorum Pontificum. This reflects that attitude of the Church towards anyone who takes issue with some of the ambiguities of Vatican II and the post-conciliar magisterium.  If you reject the papacy but are ok with V2, the New Mass, and what Rome has stated since 1965 - then you are welcome. Question some of the more abiguous statements and ask for Rome to realise that a circle is not a square - then you are in for a world of hurt. This is where the SSPX exists and has existed from almost its very first moments. Pointing out contradictions with previous magisterium is not acceptable - under any condition. Why? Because it will cause the whole V2 house of cards to fall. I guess only when the contradic...

Stories: Early Days of Tradition Part 8 - Convention Centre Chapel

 + JMJ I came to Tradition a few years after they had bought a chapel. My wife told me of the earlier years when Fr. Normandin would come to town and Mass would be held in a room at the convention centre.  He'd start by blessing the room and then proceed with Mass. This went on for a while before the one of the faithful found a small hall that would suit just fine. They pooled their money and bought the building.  Then came the work as the retiree's refinished the floor, setup the sactuary. Oh, did I mention that I heard that the hall had been used by a motorcycle gang? The floor needed a lot of work.  I remember seeing pictures of the founders working to make the hall into a fitting place for the Sacrifice of the Mass. That little chapel would be a refuge like many others serviced by Fr. Normandin.  From Thunderbay, Ontrario to Nanaimo, British Columbia - the SSPX chapels are all the results of Fr. Normandin's missionary work in those desperate times. Without h...

How many more must die for the throne? or How to combat FUD!

 + JMJ How many more must die for the throne? (Movie Quote: Prince Caspian) The Spread of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt I've seen a lot of FUD spreading across the intergnat on various stats etc.   So let's put this in context ... especially the perspective of those people in positions of authority who need to make decisions to protect the lives of their citizens. Yep, this is going to be that type of post.  Like it or not the leaders of our governments have their authority from God.  So, as Catholics should know, you need to have a very good reason to deliberately disobey the orders of their superiors. This is basic St. Thomas Aquinas ... so don't blame me for discussing things from a Catholic perspective. The leaders of our countries have taken action to protect the vulnerable of our countries.   As much as the young and not-so-young may whine and complain - I have to ask how many more of our elderly have to die? What the armchair virologists and ec...
