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

JMJ

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.

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

+ 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

War: Families

+ JMJ It is unavoidable that the conflict between the Church and the World will ... inspite of the Church basically surrendering to the World during and after the Second Vatican Council ... enter the family. First, it is unlikely that an entire family will be "Traditional Catholic". This will lead to conflict between the various "sides" of the family. Next there is the impact of the world around them. In other words, you can't keep your children out of the world indefinitely. There are so many pressures and stessors that work against keeping the Catholic Life that it seems that heroic virtue is needed in this day and age. A final aspect is related to the second. Their companions, especially if they are not Catholic. In some cases you may hope that your children will influence instead of be influenced. In this case you will have to intervene if they are underage and if adults, pray and act prudently. With all these forces stacked up against you, the best you

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

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church. The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.

Can the SSPX be right about the Novus Ordo? Revision: Feb 11, 2013 On another web forum, I was engaged in a rather heated discussion about the documents of Vatican II.
