Tradicat

+ JMJ I remember Thomas E. Woods from "The Great Facade" and recently a friend sent me his series that has been uploaded to Youtube. Understanding the past is, I think, one of the keys to helping the Church emerge from this crisis. Something worth watching!

 + JMJ So the Vatican 2 (V2) crisis is well into its 60th year and the actual roots go back over a hundred years. Is there a possibility that the Catholic Church could take a step in the right direction in 2026? So here's my thoughts on the possible events and the probability of them occurring. Any element in the sub-notes is contingent upon primary element. The Canonical discussions between Rome and the SSPX are restarted (33%) The Pope removes the infamous "footnotes" (55%) The SSPX enters into a canonically regular life within the Catholic Church (85%) The SSPX Consecrates new Bishops (33%) With Papal Mandate (70%) Pope Leo XIV nullifies the Traditionis Custodes (18%) Neo-Modernists revolt (30%) Neo-Modernists enter into schism (50%) Just my first thoughts - - - we'll see what God's providence provides this year.

 + JMJ  Over the decades (yep that long) I've heard and repeated a lot of stories to my family and friends - about family and friends :-). It was suggested that I pull them together and preserve here a record of these stories for the future. Some will be religious in nature, others about events that I witnessed directly or heard from other Traditional Catholics. So I have created a new Series called, for obvious reasons, Stories, in which I will recount the stories I've heard of Traditional Life, concealing the identities of those involved and embellishing with relish where my memory fails. Afterall, they're just stories. P^3
