Ask a Traditionalist / Re: Any Traditionalists here r...
Last post by clau clau - Today at 06:08:45 AMQuote from: Greg on Today at 12:09:35 AMThe monk invited us in and gave us a private tour of the chapel and explained the history of the place and took us down to the crypt where three granite sarcophaguses lay. The young prince on the left, Emperor Napoleon III on the right and the empress over the altar. I made a decent donation as it really was a VIP tour. In talking to him but explaining who I was an about our family background and why we were Trads, turns out that he had heard of our family and in particular one of Clau Clau's daughters.
Yes, that is my daughter, Stella (below). Her friend, Lucy (who is currently staying with us) is the niece of that monk.

Last post by Normandt - Today at 05:28:25 AM361. Naturally
A testimony isn't only when we tell about our conversion, but also when we live naturally with Jesus. This is what Jesus proposes in his speech on the mountain:
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil.'" Matthew, chapter 5, verses 38 to 39
Often, our attitude testifies to the presence of Christ in us. We try our best not to react to hatred by hate, evil by evil. By not responding to evil with evil, we will help people to walk in faith.
May the Lord, through his Word, continue to be, with our agreement, the light that guides our steps and illuminates the road.

Last post by Antonius - Today at 04:23:03 AMQuote from: Boniface3 on Today at 01:43:51 AMI am sure Martin Luther and his friends would be more than satisfied at the present situationQuote from: Antonius on December 04, 2024, 02:21:03 PMSame here, my archbishop said that in 4 years he wanted to have 10 churches left of the current 280 in the archdiocese.Quote from: KreKre on December 04, 2024, 01:28:49 PMSoon they will start selling off Catholic treasures. Imagine Michelangelo's Pieta in a private collection, suffering who knows what kind of desecrations...In the Diocese that I live in. The Bishop has already had one round of Church closures with building/land sold off.
How many Churches have already been sold in Europe? Many are now nightclubs and dens of sin.

Last post by Greg - Today at 12:09:35 AMYou don't recognise any of those Trads? I am surprised if someone does not. Show it around a little.
I recently visited the burial place of Napoleon III the emperor who was Exile from France and died reconciled to the Catholic Church. His wife was a Spanish princess Eugenie who was extremely rich due fo inheritance. Originally he was buried in Chislehurst Kent where I go to Mass but after his death and his son's death (Zulu wars), his wife who lived until the 1920s had them brought to Farnborough in Surrey. And there she built a larger church, which I visited very recently called Saint Michael's Abbey.
It was my wife's birthday so we spent a night at a hotel in Farnborough and saw the Abbey after we turned up and invited, it was actually closed, rang the bell and said that we came from Chislehurst.
The monk invited us in and gave us a private tour of the chapel and explained the history of the place and took us down to the crypt where three granite sarcophagi lay. The young prince on the left, Emperor Napoleon III on the right and the Empress herself in pride of place over the altar in the crypt. I made a decent donation as it really was a VIP tour by the monk and I was very grateful.
In talking to him and explaining who I was about about our family background and why we were Trads, it turns out that he had heard of our family and in particular one of Clau Clau's daughters who he had met on a retreat or something of that nature. He immediately knew the family name.
At well over 100 people in the Tradsphere, we have a mini dynastic empire underway. Fame at last!

Given that the Roman clergy are sodomising each otherin church property during cocaine fuelled orgies, and on altars, as well as having satanic black masses in churches, how much worse can it get?
I don't suppose having witnessed that that a piece of artwork is going to be scandalized by George Michael's 'Careless Whisper' and some high hemlines.

Last post by clau clau - December 04, 2024, 10:31:19 PMNo, I wasn't there. I'm still trying to figure out where it is. A rough guess would be Essex/Hertfordshire border somewhere near Bishop Stortford.
I agree though it was beautiful; one of the three transcendentals.
