Is Twitter an Occasion of Sin??? The Voris vs SSPX Furball

 I took a look at Canon212 yesterday ... and this led me to look at the twitter furball the seems to continually surround Michael Voris, Christine Niles and CMTV. 

It's basically MV/CN/CMTV vs anyone who doesn't meet their 'standards' of Catholicism.  

On my side, I can make the statement that they don't meet my standards of civility let alone Catholicism.

Based on the venom, anger, frustration, confirmation bias and stupidity that I've seen from all sides I have concluded that twitter contributes to the shallow thought processes of people who react first and ... maybe ... think later.

This is a waste of energy and a death spiral.

I'm glad that I barely got involved in that platform.

I will review some of the tweets below and but my assessment is that Voris is either mistaken, a liar, deluded, ignorant or a person whose spiritual life is in the pits of despair.
 
Maybe someone else is writing his tweets.  Whoever it is, that person has some mental health issues.

Tradical: Wow, aside from the grammatical errors (he seems to be a little rabid), this doesn't seem to be a Catholic response. Irrespective of what his critics is doing, a Catholic doesn't response with this type of vitriol. 
 
 
Tradical: This is funny, as  Voris goes full-auto on anyone who says anything nice about the SSPX he got called out on it. 

 
Tradical: Here he is spreading FUD and dis-information.  

 
Tradical: "Click bait" ... I see a trend here.  

 
Tradical: Wow, talk about a lie.  Fortunately, someone responded with the truth.

 
Tradical: Even more FUD and lies. This FUD packed tweet accuses traditional Catholics of being schsimatic, xenophobic, Neo-Nazi, anti-semites, who think that the Novus Ordo Sacraments are invalid.

Rome and the SSPX - Version 2026 Part 4 - The Mass (Updated with Postscript)

By
+ JMJ Introduction "I don’t understand why they are so afraid of this Mass!!!" A Conservative Catholic priest spoke these words to me one evening in his parich parking lot in 2011, mere days before Pope Benedict XVI issued his follow up to Summorum Pontificum ( 2007-07-07 Motu Proprio , Letter to Bishops , ), Universae Ecclesiae ( 2011-04-30 Motu Proprio , Note ). The people who were afraid that night were bishops. This conservative priest had started a project a year or so earlier – very simply a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration chapel. Earlier that evening I had visited this chapel with some friends and ended up in a conversation with the priest after everyone had left. Word reached the bishops palace after the completion of the chapel and the priest received a phone call and visit from his local ordinary. My impression (this being now ~15 years ago) was that he was nervous about how the visit would proceed. The bishop came, made a visit to OLJC in the Blessed Sacrament and ...

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

By
Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making.  It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX.  The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience.  The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members.  It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

By
+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay.  Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.
