Sean Duffy is a devout Catholic. He's married to a beautiful wife. They have a lot of kids. He'll be replacing Pete Buttigieg. Savor.

Holding a traditional view of marriage & family life that was shared across cultures for thousands of years makes one a "misogynist psycho" in 2024. What odd times we live in.
The best part about Harrison Butker being a misogynist psycho is that a lot of dudes can head hunt his stupid kicker ass for a 15yd penalty next season and get a lifetime of credit with the women in their lives

Tate Myre rushed an active shooter yesterday. He received multiple gunshots and gave his life in defense of his friends and classmates. He's a true hero. Offer a prayer for the repose of his soul and for his family and friends mourning his death.

Will repeat: The cassock is far superior to the nine-to-five business suit-inspired clerics and should once more be the norm. The cassock comes from a distinct Catholic culture, while the black jacket comes from a worldly corporate culture.

The Catholic Vance will give liberal bishops a challenge they aren’t used to: a young, appealing, intelligent, articulate & muscular counterpoint to the effeminate (but fading) ecclesial zeitgeist of the '60s. He likely has a far better grasp of *real* Catholic social teaching.

Protestantism essentially is the story of man bending & distorting the Gospel to accommodate the selfish demands, interests, neuroses or lusts, of an individual (Luther, Henry VIII, etc.), & then wrapping that agenda in "sola scriptura."

If Amy Coney Barrett is the nominee to succeed RBG, think about what that represents: a young, pro-life Catholic mother of 7, in whom "dogma lives loudly," replacing a pro-abortion vestige of a dated era that repudiated large families & celebrated birth control.

"Vatican II was necessary because the laity wanted more liturgical involvement.". -Did they? Prior to Vatican II, parishes had a very active lay culture, with guilds, sodalities & other associations for men, women & youth. Where's the evidence the laity wanted liturgical roles?

Thinking about ++Cupich's DNC "prayer." It is upsetting but remember, he's not a leader inspiring a new generation of faithful Catholics. He's the face of a dim, bygone era of decline, a symbol of closed churches after the 1960s. The youth & zeal are on the side of tradition.

Every young priest I've met has been influenced by Benedict XVI's traditional liturgical sensibilities. Haven't met one recently-ordained priest who thinks the way forward is to remain in the stale ecclesiology of the 1970s.

The TLM is attacked by progressives because it projects a Catholic identity that is confident, historically & theologically coherent & very appealing. Progressives need Catholicism to be diluted, weakened, reconstituted & incoherent for their social revolution to succeed.

His “advice” will upset, not only the standard liberal, but also many on the “dissident right” who accept liberal assumptions on feminism, marriage, gender theory, etc. Butker articulates a thoroughly Catholic vision of liturgy, married life, family and society.
Catholic Super Bowl Champ Harrison Butker’s advice to young men during graduation has sent libs into utter meltdown:. "Be unapologetic in your masculinity. Fight against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy."

Younger Catholics have no intention of spending the rest of our lives in a failed 1960s liturgical feedback loop. We're moving on in 2022, and taking tradition with us.

From a St. Louis source: successful movement to protect the STL statue is 100% organized by traditional (TLM) Catholics. Obliterates myth that trad. Catholics seek to retreat from society w/ a "bunker mentality" etc. Wasn't diocesan or campus "ministry" offices organizing this.

A group of young Catholics produced a documentary on the Traditional Latin Mass. It has received over one million views. This should be a serious wake-up call to Church leadership that Catholics are looking for an alternative to the liturgical narrative of the past 60 years.

The desire for tradition-based Catholicism is authentic, springing from everyday Catholics. Traditional parishes are packed with young people & growing. The desire for Modernist Catholicism is artificial & top-down, undertaken by a detached cabal of backwardist 1960s ideologues.

Totally invalid and impossible. So it’s a nonsense question. Wouldn’t be a priest and wouldn’t be a Mass. To knowingly attend a simulation of a Mass would be sinful.
If a woman becomes a priest, Catholics will you ever attend her mass? .Give your opinion and retweets

The growing traditional movement in the Church is simple to understand. It's fueled by a deep spiritual longing on the part of a younger generation for beauty, meaning, authenticity, heritage & transcendence amidst the cultural wasteland left behind by the 1960s.

There's an incoherence when the Blessed Sacrament is carried in solemn procession by a priest with a golden monstrance, incense, humeral veil, processional canopy, & then during Mass itself, is handled in a common, ordinary way by lay "ministers" & distributed in the hand.

Never understood the animosity some priests & bishops have toward the Roman cassock. It's a conspicuous sign of the Roman Catholic priesthood, rooted in centuries of tradition & identity. Oh, wait. Just answered my own question.

The label "rigid" is being used as a rhetorical arrow to undermine the growing appeal of traditional Catholicism among youth. If name calling is the best they've got, by all means, continue being "rigid" & defend what is true, beautiful & good. The boring alternative is losing.

TLM with Bishop Perry at a packed cathedral of mostly young Catholics in Philadelphia. The TLM is grassroots, which is why it won't be suppressed by heavy-handed, sloppily drawn-up edicts. The devotion, passion & loyalty are authentic. This is Catholic all-natural, organic. Deal.

The restoration of Notre Dame is magnificent. The high-profile display in Notre Dame of how bad the liturgical reform has been (liturgy, liturgical music & items used for liturgy, vestments, etc.) is hard to watch. The tacky & self-destructive decade of the 1960s endures.

The Traditional Latin Mass isn't going anywhere. The stubborn fact for the 1960s crowd seeking to suppress it with top-down, clumsy & incoherent dictates is the TLM's enormous appeal with a growing number of young Catholics, both laity & priests. The roots are simply too deep.

Regarding the "Eucharistic Revival," more processions & catechesis on the Eucharist will fall flat as long as the average Catholic's experience of the Eucharist at Mass consists in casually & efficiently receiving Communion in the hand from a layman in a polo shirt & khakis.

There's a deeply troubling incoherence when the Blessed Sacrament is elevated in solemn Benediction by a priest with a golden monstrance, incense & humeral veil, but then during Mass itself, is handled in a common, matter-of-fact way by lay "ministers" & distributed in the hand.
Dios está aquí, realmente presente, no es un sentimiento, ni una idea, ni una canción bonita. Es Él, en Persona. Solo en La Santa Iglesia Católica.
