Priest Celebrates Lesbian [Pseudo] Marriage - One "Bride" Is Protestant Preacher

Only a Fr. Martin type of priest would do this. The bishop won't correct him, nor will the Vatican. If a priest so much as married a man and wife in the traditional rite without authorization there would be Hades to pay!

Israel erases Gaza's religious and cultural heritage

If the Hamas controled Palestinian government signed the agreement, then why did they-Hamas militants take up positions and fire upon the IDF in and around these antiquity sites? They knew what the consequences would be. It's because the virmin didn't care. Blame Hamas for the destruction.

Cardinal Marx: New Church Already In the Making

So, it was not for a lack of courage but for not having the right men in the right places to carry out the orders and hold the line against the detractors.

Cardinal Marx: New Church Already In the Making

B16 had the power that Fellay recognized but he just didn't have the courage to use it. What was he afraid of? If any of the bishop-modernists bucked the line, he also could have just excommunicated them.

NATO starts deploying troops as Russia races to win - Asia Times

I agree, Father, in terms of combat and frontline fighter positions but being a veteran, I think it's o.k. for women to be in supportive behind the line roles in the military, i.e. medical and supply etc. However, if they are a mother of children definitely not in any capacity.

Evola's Errors in the Revolt Against Modernity

Evola got a lot right in his criticisms of modernity, but its also important to note his errors concerning Catholicism. He was impressed with Medieval Christianity but abandoned Catholicism in his own time b/c the Catholic hierarchy and intellectuals were willingly adopting modernist principles. IMHO he was correct in his diagnosis of the modern world but wrong on suggesting the solution was a return …More
Evola got a lot right in his criticisms of modernity, but its also important to note his errors concerning Catholicism. He was impressed with Medieval Christianity but abandoned Catholicism in his own time b/c the Catholic hierarchy and intellectuals were willingly adopting modernist principles. IMHO he was correct in his diagnosis of the modern world but wrong on suggesting the solution was a return to pre-modern paganism. The treatment for the disease of modernity is a recovery of Traditional Catholicism.

Julius Evola, Revolt Against The Modern World ''Unreason & Individualism''

Evola identifies the source of the movement in Christendom away from the metaphysical hierarchy (Great Chain of Being) and toward philosophical materialism with Luther and the Protestant-Revolt. This subsequently leads to the Enlightenment and French Revolution with its emphasis on the rule of an atomized, hedonistic and hyper-individualistic masses.

207 Underpants: The Church of Vatican II Presents Its Saints

In terms of prideful boasting, which is what the passage is referring to, I agree. But, when confronted by modernism in the Church it calls for courageous action.

Attacks on Brussels Conference "like Nazi Germany” - Cardinal Müller

@foward It was tragic that the hatred and passion for revenge was not restrained after the war. In addition to displacement and murders of German civilians the Soviet soldiers raped thousands of women in Eastern Germany. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Attacks on Brussels Conference "like Nazi Germany” - Cardinal Müller

@foward The Nazis promoted homosexualism in the SS, and abortion and euthanasia. Hitler was sympathetic to Communism and an avid reader of Marx in his post WW1 years, but rejected it when he discovered that most of the Marxist activists and intellectuals were Jews albeit secular-atheistic and non-religious. So, he created a racial form of communism for the Germans.
