News Roundup: October 19, 2026

By
 + JMJ Well ... I was looking in my blog drafts and found this list from after my News is an Addiction post. So ... yep ... not totally able to disconnect from the news world at this point.  Frankly, I haven't read all of these articles - they catch my eye as I check for SSPX news regarding the exco's etc. So let's consider these topics as part of a higher level chronicle. They may not be key inflection points but helps to understand the flow of the world as perceived by the authors and myself who captured them as a snapshot in time.

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

By
 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

Infovaticana: Fernández resists correcting the legal ambiguities of the excommunication decree against the FSSPX (Be Careful What You Ask For!)

By
 + JMJ Well this is ... as always ... interesting... The Dicastery for Legislative Texts has attempted on several occasions to collaborate with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to resolve the legal contradictions that arose following the decree of excommunication against the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), published on July 2. However, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith, does not appear willing to accept such collaboration, according to journalist Guido Horst in the German Catholic newspaper Die Tagespost. Infovaticana: Fernández resists correcting the legal ambiguities of the excommunication decree against the FSSPX I can see a few potential reasons for how we arrived with the obviously flawed decrees on the SSPX: Incompetence: The authors were so incompetent that they simply plagarized the 1988 declaration with the note from the 1990's. If this is the case, it makes sense that Cardinal CMF wouldn't want to be correc...

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

Unhinged Catholics ... are they on the right path? How would you know? (Updated 2x with Response to Comments)

By
+ JMJ (Originally Published Sept 7, 2019, Updated July 30, 2022, Updated August 13, 2022)  Based on Pope Francis' latest selections for Cardinals, the Church appears to be in deep winter. Just to be clear, I don't mean a Florida winter, I mean a Canadian winter.  In the last 35+ years as a Trad, I've seen my fair share of Catholics suffering from, and dying of, mental and spiritual hypothermia. When a Catholic pours themselves into the 'fight', neglects their spiritual life, doesn't deepen their understanding of the Catholic Faith, then there is a good chance that they will become embittered, frustrated, and angry. With their narrowed perspectives they risk being blindsided and smacked in the head with a metaphorical 2x4. Just look at the headlines on canon212 for some examples. Here's some others: "Diabolically Disoriented" Michael Matt Reveals His True Colors as a Pied Piper Leading "Traditionalists" (i.e., real Cat...
