Reblog: Two Weeks To Flatten The World
Reposting this excellent piece by Michael Bryant at OffGuardian. Although this is a religious blog, the fact remains that all but a very few of our supposed shepherds, the Catholic bishops, spinelessly rolled over for the tyrants who ordered churches closed, even during Lent and Eastertide, for the impossible purpose of “stopping” a virus. This … Continue reading Reblog: Two Weeks To Flatten The World

Victor Aubert on the Motu Proprio
An excellent commentary on the present persecution of tradition in the Roman Rite Church.
Victor Aubert, President of Academia Christiana
Since the promulgation of the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes, it seems that Pope Francis has decided to wage open warfare against communities committed to the traditional liturgy. The authoritarianism with which the Vatican is handling this issue has stunned many of the faithful and outside observers. At a time when practicing Catholics represent less than 5% of the population of Western Europe, such measures seem totally out of touch with reality.
