Not waiting for anyone to die, Fr. Going ahead regardless.

“I’m not a Catholic anymore,” said Hammond, the woman who left when the church’s school began to change. “Not even a little bit.”

News flash: you never really were.

I have to confess to a certain schadenfraude when I see articles like this. And they’re becoming more and more frequent because young people are craving tradition, authenticity, depth, beauty, and truth, all of which have been so lacking in most parishes for decades due to the same folks who are now “aging out.” The biological solution is starting to bear real fruit.

Winnowing takes time. God has time.

As soon as they reinstate Latin mass and denounce homosexual behavior. Anything else is the normal misdirection.

After listening to who has to be the greatest exorcist if not the greatest theologian of the 20th century Malachi Martin and his old interviews with Art Bell on YouTube, I agree that the idea that the seminaries had of allowing people with homosexual tendencies into the priesthood was the greatest mistake in the 2000 year history of the church.

The thinking was they were going to be celibate anyway so it doesn’t make a difference.

However, the percentage that have other mental conditions is much higher for the same-sex attracted candidates.

This is what let the wolves into the sheep pasture.

“I don’t want my daughter to be Catholic,” said Christine Hammond, whose family left the parish when the new outlook spilled into the church’s school and her daughter’s classroom. “Not if this is the Roman Catholic Church that is coming.”

Your kind has virtually destroyed the Catholic Church as a vehicle of salvation. Send your daughter off to Columbia University if you want her to remain the kind of “Catholic” that you are now.

One of my earliest memories as a toddler in the early 1970s was going to Mass with my Mother and watching hippies with guitars and bongos sing the liturgy

Even my 4 year-old self thought it was strange, disrespectful and tawdry. I could get the same experience watching TV at home

Those of us who were raising young families in traditional Catholicism during the pontificates of JPII and B-16 were praying, hoping and expecting this to happen eventually (Benedict himself predicted that we would likely become a smaller, but more faithful Church). We knew that "Progressivism" in the Church is a sterile ad lifeless pursuit, doctrinally and practically. The same misguided fools who embraced and promoted liberalism in the Church tend to not re-produce and their ideology is bound to die with them. At the same time, traditional Catholic families are, for the most part, having larger families.

Pope Francis is part of the old "Vatican II" generation. He won't be Pope forever and, though his influence (and maybe that of his immediate successor) may hang on for a while, someday all of these liberal and weak old Cardinals and bishops will be gone and the new generation of traditional Catholics will be in the drivers seat again. I myself may not live to see it's full fruits, but I have faith in God that He will restore His Church.

One of the most manly things you can do is get married to a woman and raise children. This is Gods plan. When you force remove women & family you invite perversion and a burning that leads to destruction. You get weak men, and weak men are the most dangerous.

[AppyPappy]

I saw an article that said that Catholic Seminaries are turning out graduates who are more religiously conservative but still hold on to the teaching that celibacy means “no sex with women”.

[NorthMountain]

“They say they’re trying to restore what us old guys ruined,”

They say the truth, you jackwagon!

[Magnum44]

I like the old ways...

The progressive priests who dominated the U.S. church in the years after Vatican II are now in their 70s and 80s. Many are retired. Some are dead. Younger priests, surveys show, are far more conservative.

What a blessing - people need spiritual leaders tending the flock a lot more than they need left wing posers in Priest's clothing preaching global cooling, warming, WOKE BS, communism, and sexual weirdo crap...
