JMJ
For me there are two key events this month:
- First, we have the publication of Pope Leo's first document - Dilexi Te. I will have a longer post on that one later this month.
- Second, we have the ceasefire in the Israeli / Hamas war, which I wonder if it will last long enough for me to publish this post on the 19th.
Be that as it may ... here's what I have as of Oct 17th.

- RORATE CÆLI: Ratzinger: "The deepest cause of the crisis that has subverted the Church is located in the effacing of the priority of God in the liturgy."
Judas Iscariat in Hell?
- Tradicat: I once made a controversial statement by saying that Judas Iscariat was in Hell. Now with Pope Leo's statement I have been officially vindicated ... so at least there is some sanity in the world.

- Tradicat: My thought is that when (not if) the Pope approves the Tridentine Mass - the real schism in the Church will be in plain view and the civil war will go from cold to hot.

Tradicat: Yet another anniversary of the Miracle of Fatima has come and gone. While, of all things, Pope Francis seems to have made the best attempt to fulfill Our Lady's request. Yet, it appears that Russia has not provided evidence of the conversion as she attacks and seems to be preparing to attack others.
I once heard it said that when things are darkest, that is when the Pope and the Bishops in union with him do the full on consecration of RUSSIA to the Immaculate Heart.
Maybe this is just part of the path to that victory.

Rome / SSPX

- SSPX reconciliation was close to Benedict XVI’s heart according to Archbishop Gänswein
- Archbishop Lefebvre's Consecrations for the SSPX [Video Lesson] | FSSPX News
- Tradicat: I wonder if the pilgrimage will be remembered as another milestone in this crisis of the Church, just like the 2000 pilgrimage. Nothing may have happened between Rome and the SSPX, but like many things in this life, we may not know its import for many years.

- Tradicat: Nature abhors a vacuum (link), as humans are created, not evolved, that means that we have certain elements that are inherent in our make-up. I can think of two. First, we need a reason to live, a purpose. Second, believing in 'nothing', like atheists is not sustainable. When a person believes that there is nothing to live for after death, all Christian morality and ethics fall away.
- To understand this conflict we need to have a long view. In this case, stronger cultures will eventually overcome the weaker. Christianity is "weak, divided" by the heresies and schisms but not leaderless. It wouldn't take long for Catholicism's culture to reassert itself. It provides something that Modern Catholicism can't, something to believe in.
Accusations and Persecutions
- "We Will Push Him Into Schism!" | FSSPX News
- Divergence Between Pope Leo XIV and Cardinal Sarah | FSSPX News
- Tradicat: The persecution is ongoing and it stretches generations in the past. We have to understand that this war started well over a hundred years ago. This is just the current battle in a war that God will win.

- Tradicat: With all the accusations of Trump being a Fascist, I wonder if the liberals are the real fascists. Not that I really like Trump. Not because of politics, but because of his failings and what he is doing.

- Tradicat: One thing that Trump has done is strip away the civility of the post war period. Now we are rapidly approaching the point before the First World War, 'Might makes Right'. The calculus is simple. Those who think they have the power will try to take what they can.
- It's like watching a train wreck.
