General News and Discussion / Re: Simping for Eva
Last post by Heinrich - Today at 06:45:52 PMQuote from: Bonaventure on Today at 09:21:44 AMQuote from: Greg on April 30, 2024, 11:30:19 PMQuote from: Kaesekopf on April 28, 2024, 08:06:55 PMShe's been on the right-wing commentary sphere since 2019.
She married yet and started making babies?
She is married. No babies yet, but can't judge her for that. She seems the type to want babies. I can see her punditing 8 months pregnant. In fact it adds to her 'great replacement' brand she spoke about at CPAC.Quote from: james03 on Today at 07:26:40 AMThe most counter-revolutionary thing you can do is have a lot of babies.
Is she Catholic?
I suppose we'd have to give her the benefit of the doubt if so, especially if Trad.
We have been married 8 years and only have 1 child, and that took us 6 years of trying. Had a miscarriage early on.
I wanted to have 9 kids. My wife has 9 siblings, my dad had 10.
When I frequented certain trad parishes, others spread rumors about us as to why we didn't have kids yet.
That was very hurtful to my wife.
My pal and his wife are late 30s with three. They've tried. He reports having gotten the ,,trad eye" with only three. That's seriously uncharitable.

Ask a Traditionalist / Re: Engaging with the Eastern ...
Last post by Michael Wilson - Today at 05:22:07 PMHere is a quote from St. Augustine of Hippo, considered a saint in the Orthodox Church
QuoteAugustineThere is no way to interpret this where one would have St. Augustine teaching that the Holy Ghost only proceeds from the Father and not from the Father and the Son.
"t must be confessed that the Father and the Son are the principle of the Holy Spirit, not two principles, but just as the Father and the Son are one God . . . relative to the Holy Spirit, they are one principle" (The Trinity 5:14:15 [A.D. 408]).
"[The one] from whom principally the Holy Spirit proceeds is called God the Father. I have added the term 'principally' because the Holy Spirit is found to proceed also from the Son" (ibid., 15:17:29).
"Why, then, should we not believe that the Holy Spirit proceeds also from the Son, when he is the Spirit also of the Son? For if the Holy Spirit did not proceed from him, when he showed himself to his disciples after his resurrection he would not have breathed upon them, saying, 'Receive the Holy Spirit' [John 20:22]. For what else did he signify by that breathing upon them except that the Holy Spirit proceeds also from him" (Homilies on John 99:8 [A.D. 416]).

On the "sola scriptura" quotes from the Fathers; yes, I have seen many of those, and of course the Protestants take the quotes from the Fathers on the authority of S.S. As being equivalent to their novel idea of "Scriptura w.o. Church authority".
The Protestants take their erroneous theological principle and try to mine the Fathers for quotes that may support their position; which can easily be proved false.
But this has no relationship with the "Filioque" controversy; the two positions are mutually exclusive and incompatible; either the Holy Ghost proceeds from both the Father and the Son as from one principle or He only proceeds from the Father and not the Son. Both the Catholics and the Orthodox have affirmed their respective position as the true one and anathematized the contrary one. For both sides it is a matter of faith and heresy. The truth or falsehood of both Catholicism or Orthodoxy rests on the truth or falsehood of one or the other of the positions. If a Church or a group of churches (Orthodoxy) can teach a major falsehood about the nature of God, then it cannot be the true Church.
Any attempt to attenuate the doctrine in the name of a perceived charity, is very misguided.

The Sedevacantist Thesis / Re: VII reforms destroy the p...
Last post by Michael Wilson - Today at 04:47:14 PMQuote from: Bonaventure on April 30, 2024, 01:39:41 PMWhenever necessity requires it or true spiritual advantage suggests it, and provided that the danger of error or of indifferentism is avoided, the Christian faithful for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister are permitted to receive the sacraments of penance, Eucharist, and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose Churches these sacraments are valid" (canon 844 §2).This is pure Conciliar church double-speak. The reception of any sacrament except that of Penance (in danger of death) from a non-Catholic minister is strictly prohibited; this is not mere ecclesiastical law but divine law. The very permission of allowing Catholics to receive Holy Communion from non-Catholic ministers, engenders of itself "indiferentism" i.e. The belief that one religion is more or less good as another.
Recently we just celebrated the feastday of St. Hermenegild, the Visigoth prince who converted from Arianism to Catholicism. His father gave him an ultimatum: either receive communion from the hands of an Arian bishop or be executed; St. Hermenegild chose martyrdom. What a reproach for our modern Churchmen who openly advocated "communication in sacris" at Vatican II; have encouraged it ever since then, and inscribed the principle into the 1983 Code of Canon Law. No wonder so many Catholics do not practice the faith and or have abandoned the faith for other religions since the Council.

Last post by Bonaventure - Today at 01:24:45 PMFrankly, the BennyVacante stuff I find even more ridiculous than the Siri Thesis.
I could buy into it and buy into you buying into it, in say 2015, but Ratzinger has been dead for how long now?
His MC, Monsignor Marini, received consecration from Bergoglio himself.
There are photos of Ganswein shaking Bergoglio's hand, and smiling.
In this video, at 55:32 to be precise, Archbishop Ganswein himself names Bergoglio, "una cum fámulo tuo Papa nostro Francesco."
The spiritual son of Ratzinger has no problem accepting Bergoglio, and says he is one with him in the Canon of the Mass, as he enters the most sacred part of the Sacrifice of Calvary before Almighty God and the entire world, but I am supposed to toss that all aside in favor of your musings?
As Benedict XIV said:

As Benedict XIV said:
QuoteIt suffices Us to be able to state that a commemoration of the supreme pontiff and prayers offered for [the pope] during the sacrifice of the Mass is considered, and really is, an affirmative indication which recognizes him as the head of the Church, the vicar of Christ, and the successor of blessed Peter

Last post by Aethel - Today at 12:43:30 PMQuote from: james03 on Today at 08:10:59 AMLooks like there was a book written which is germane to the topic. I might have to read it myself:
https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-devil-and-karl-marx-communisms-long-march-of-death-deception-and-infiltration/
Edit (seems related to the OP):QuoteKengor shows that the problem of Marxism is not really about economic or political concerns, but the eternal problem of spiritual warfare and good versus evil. It is dangerous, and intellectually dishonest, to separate the many evils of communism from the demonic inspiration of Karl Marx. Many have attempted to excuse the countless deaths caused by Marx's theories, but Kengor demonstrates that this is exactly the reason we need to condemn Marx. In this book, Kengor will give you the tools to understand Marx's evil ideology and see the diabolical side of his writing. He will explain how Marx's fascination with the Devil caused a great evil that echoes even into the modern age.
The one thing for sure that I think is worth mentioning is also the relationship between Hegel and Marxist modes of thinking - thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
Spinoza influenced Marx, and Spinoza took inspiration from Kabbalistic and Pantheistic forms of thinking. I wonder if Marx, or in turn, future Jewish / Marxist thinkers, were influenced by that in trying to decode and understand Marxism.
I have no empirical data whatsoever, but the appropriation of Abrahamic mythology to fit this pantheistic world of opposites, with Sky Father God the Father and Earth Mother Gaia, would make sense.

PROLOGUE OF OUR MOST HOLY FATHER SAINT BENEDICT TO HIS RULE
Hearken, O my son, to the precepts of thy Master, and incline the ear of thine heart; willingly receive and faithfully fulfil the admonition of thy loving Father, that thou mayest return by the labour of obedience to Him from Whom thou hadst departed through the sloth of disobedience. To thee, therefore, my words are now addressed, whoever thou art that, renouncing thine own will, dost take up the strong and bright weapons of obedience, in order to fight for the Lord Christ, our true king. In the first place, whatever good work thou beginnest to do, beg of Him with most earnest prayer to perfect; that He Who hath now vouchsafed to count us in the number of His children may not at any time be grieved by our evil deeds. For we must always so serve Him with the good things He hath given us, that not only may He never, as an angry father, disinherit his children, but may never, as a dreadful Lord, incensed by our sins, deliver us to everlasting punishment, as most wicked servants who would not follow Him to glory.
Martyrology-May 3rd
Roman Martyrology-May 3rd- on this date in various years-
At Jerusalem, in the time of Emperor Constantine, the finding of the holy Cross of our Lord.
At Rome, on the Via Nomentana, the holy martyrs Pope Alexander and the priests Eventius and Theodulus. Alexander was bound, imprisoned, racked, lacerated with hooks, burned, and had all his limbs pierced with pointed instruments, and finally met death, under Emperor Hadrian and the judge Aurelian. Eventius and Theodulus after a long imprisonment were exposed to flames and then beheaded.
At Narni, St. Juvenal, bishop and confessor.
On Mount Senario in Etruria, Saints Sosteneo and Ugoccio, confessors, of the seven founders of the Order of Servites of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Responding to a voice from heaven, they departed this life on the same day and at the same hour, while reciting the angelical salutation. Their feast is observed with the rest of their companions on the 12th day of February.
At Constantinople, the holy martyrs Alexander, soldier, and Antonina, virgin. In the persecution of Maximian, under the governor Festus, Antonina, having been condemned to remain in a place of debauchery, was delivered by Alexander, who secretly exchanged garments with her, and took her place. They were tortured together, both had their hands cut off, were cast into the fire, and received their crowns at the end of their heroic combat for the faith.
In Thebais, the holy martyrs Timothy and his wife Maura. The Arian prefect caused them to be tortured, and then fastened to a cross, on which they remained alive for nine days, encouraging each other to persevere in the faith, until they completed their martyrdom.
At Aphrodisia in Caria, the holy martyrs Diodorus and Rodopian, who were stoned to death by their fellow citizens, in the persecution of Diocletian.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

CHAPTER LXXIII
That the whole observance of Perfection is not set down in this Rule
We have written this Rule, in order that, by observing it in Monasteries, we may shew ourselves to have some degree of goodness of life, and a beginning of holiness. But for him who would hasten to the perfection of religion, there are the teachings of the holy Fathers, the following whereof bringeth a man to the height of perfection. For what page or what word is there in the divinely inspired books of the Old and New Testaments, that is not a most unerring rule for human life? Or what book of the holy Catholic Fathers doth not loudly proclaim how we may by a straight course reach our Creator? Moreover, the Conferences of the Fathers, their Institutes and their Lives, and the Rule of our holy Father Basil - what are these but the instruments whereby well-living and obedient monks attain to virtue? But to us, who are slothful and negligent and of evil lives, they are cause for shame and confusion. Whoever, therefore, thou art that hasteneth to thy heavenly country, fulfil by the help of Christ this least of Rules which we have written for beginners; and then at length thou shalt arrive, under God's protection, at the lofty summits of doctrine and virtue of which we have spoken above.
Martyrology-May 2nd
Roman Martyrology-May 2nd- on this date in various years-
At Alexandria, the birthday of St. Athanasius, bishop of that city, confessor and doctor of the Church, most celebrated for sanctity and learning. Although almost all of the world had formed a conspiracy to persecute him, he courageously defended the Catholic faith, from the reign of Constantine to that of Valens, against emperors, governors, and a multitude of Arian bishops, whose underhanded attacks forced him to wander as an exile over the whole earth without finding a place of security. At length, however, he was restored to his church, and after overcoming many trials, and winning many crowns by his patience, he departed for heaven in the forty-sixth year of his priesthood, in the time of the emperors Valentinian and Valens.
At Florence, Bishop St. Antoninus of the Order of Preachers, renowned for sanctity and learning. His feast is kept on the 10th of this month.
At Rome, the holy marytrs Saturninus, Neopolus, Germanus, and Celestine, who after much suffering were thrown into prison, where they found rest in the Lord.
The same day, St. Vindemial, bishop and martyr, who with the holy bishops Eugene and Longinus, combated the Arians by his teaching and miracles, and was beheaded by order of Hunneric, king of the Vandals.
At Seville in Spain, St. Felix, deacon and martyr.
At Attalia in Pamphylia, the holy martyrs Exuperius and Zoe, his wife, with their sons, Cyriacus and Theodulus. They were the slaves of a man named Paganus. During the reign of Emperor Hadrian, because of their outspoken profession of the Christian faith, their master ordered them to be scourged and severely tortured. They were finally cast into an oven, and in this way gave up their souls to God.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.
