J.R.R. TOLKIEN ON THE DEAD END OF PROTESTANTISM I read this letter in the years leading up to my conversion. As I discovered, not only was Tolkien right about the mistaken search for “primitive” purity in the Church (read Scripture—it never existed), but the primitive church—to the extent we have artifacts of it in documents, archaeology, etc.—was very Catholic in its beliefs and practices. What I had been told my whole life were “medieval accretions” were widespread in the ancient Church, and defended from both Scripture, and the constant practice of the Church since the Apostolic age. The protestant claim to have restored the ancient Faith was, I discovered, completely false. To this day, I have not yet found anything uniquely protestant in the ancient Catholic Church, except (I am sad to say) the heresies. All of them—no matter how different their doctrines from one another (and virtually none of them resembled protestantism)—ultimately relied on a novel/erroneous interpretation of Scripture (including subtracting or adding to its canon), coupled with a rejection of the authority of the Church. In this, each of them resembled protestantism. It was very sobering to realize that the Church Fathers’ descriptions of how heresy and heretics operated was disturbingly similar to how my native protestantism had operated since the 16th century. TOLKIEN’S LETTER The 'protestant' search backwards for 'simplicity' and directness—which, of course, though it contains some good or at least intelligible motives, is mistaken and indeed vain. Because 'primitive Christianity' is now and in spite of all 'research' will ever remain largely unknown; because 'primitiveness' is no guarantee of value, and is, and was in great a reflection of ignorance. Grave abuses were as much an element in Christian liturgical behavior from the beginning as now. (St Paul's strictures on Eucharistic behavior are sufficient to show this!) Still more because 'my church' was not intended by Our Lord to be static or remain in perpetual childhood; but to be a living organism (likened to a plant), which develops and changes in externals by the interaction of its bequeathed divine life and history—the particular circumstances of the world into which it is set. There is no resemblance between the 'mustard-seed' and the full-grown tree. For those living in the days of its branching growth, the Tree is the thing, for the history of a living thing is part of its life, and the history of a divine thing is sacred. The wise may know that it began with a seed, but it is vain to try and dig it up, for it no longer exists, and the virtue and powers that it had now reside in the Tree…But they will certainly do harm if they are obsessed with the desire of going back to the seed or even to the first youth when it was (as they imagine) pretty and unafflicted by evils. J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter to his son Michael (August 25, 1967)

Spielberg was good at confecting an American identity from movie snippets and pop culture books like King Solomon's Mines, but now that American identity has crashed at the end of the third republic he's forced to be Jewish and attack Catholicism.

Western media did not miss this story. They chose to ignore it. An elderly Palestinian man. Israeli settlers tried to burn him alive in his own village. If the roles were reversed, this would be the top story in every major Western media outlet right now.

This is direct evidence of the inversion of our world. The truth tellers are dragged away and locked up, the liars are made Presidents. This is America under Jewish Supremacy.

This is why I have such respect for Tulsi Gabbard

Cardinal McElroy has banned the installation of new Altar rails and discourages temporary kneelers, citing "a disruption of the flow of the Communion line". As you can see here, there is no disruption. Just another garbage excuse to attack the Latin Mass.

In this time, so harshly marked by the violence of war and social unrest, many people wonder what the world in which their grandchildren will grow up will be like. I urge you, dear #GrandparentsAndElderlyPeople, to join me in praying earnestly that peace may soon come to the whole world. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Having become our brother, the Son of God looks at the people; He looks at humanity and sees the oppression that burdens and the violence that causes strength to fade. He sees the wounds of war and the emptiness of consumerism. He sees faces reduced to masks, families torn apart by evil, and young people misled by false ideals. Jesus sees and loves. He loves and suffers for and with us: His compassion expresses not only fraternal closeness, but His desire to redeem. #GospelOfToday (Mt 9:36 – 10:8)

AI cannot "chase goals.” Only humans can do that. The real threat that no one, including the pope. wants to talk about is Jewish control of AI.

I’ve been pointing out the writing on the wall for a long time. In terms of the “fundamentals” of a healthy civilization—religion, marriage, demographics, finances, healthy political institutions, etc.—the United States’ trend lines are all in the wrong direction, and they have been for a long time.

I hate to break it to you - but the United States is an absolute, incoherent shitshow. The idea that we have ‘representative government’ is ridiculous. If that were true we would not have wasted billions killing Iranians for no reason at all. Some people wanted this - but the voters who elected this government did not. Let’s go further. When Trump goes to China - he brings our ‘great billionaires’ with him. I can’t think of any more obvious symbol that we live in an oligarchy that does everything it can to manipulate outcomes - and that voting is a bit of a joke. It’s like he’s bringing with him ‘the ruling elite.’ Because that is what he did. We have at least 40 million illegal aliens living here. Our business ‘leaders’ engineered this by bribing politicians to keep the border open - because they wanted to pay low wages and make mucho $$ for themselves. When people objected because their incomes were falling - the business leaders accused them of racism and funded Barack Obama to become POTUS. The USA is $40 trillion in debt - and no one has a plan to solve that problem. Absolutely no one. This will blow up one day - and it will destroy normal people who save in dollars - because the unspoken plan is to destroy the currency and save the rich and destroy the rest. But people who own our homes - like Blackstone or Blackrock - won’t care because their assets will follow inflation. Everyone else will be reduced to paupers renting from them - their bank accounts gone. The United States today is hopelessly dysfunctional. It lacks a coherent population that can even agree on anything. It is bankrupt - but the rest of the world is propping it up because they are also scared of what happens when the dollar collapses. It doesn’t have any smart leaders - and we have to watch insiders doing oil trades to make $$ on the Iran war - and the administration itself sells shit coins. Our foreign policy is a total joke - not strategic in any way at all. It is driven by special interests, and then not even followed through. And people are actuality making money on it - pump and dump coming straight from the White House. This is a hell of a way to celebrate 250 Years! At least we can have a cage match on the White House lawn that degrades our entire history and underscores just how bad and ridiculous things are! Thank you for your attention to this matter! Enjoy the circus! If you’re lucky you will be dead when the music stops!

I assure my closeness to the people of the Philippines, struck a few days ago by a powerful earthquake. I pray for the deceased and their families, for the wounded, and for all those suffering because of this disaster.

Before being executed by Calvinists, Andrew Wouters gave his last words: “Fornicator I always was; heretic I never was” He would later be canonized as a Saint.

Two condemned men were being torn apart with red-hot pincers — cursing God with every breath. Then a saint looked out her window and saw what was really tormenting them. It wasn't the executioners. They were notorious criminals, sentenced to die by torture: tied to a stake on a cart, dragged through Siena while executioners ripped their flesh, piece by piece. In prison they had refused every priest. On the cart they cursed God and His saints with what breath they had left. Two souls racing each other to hell. St. Catherine of Siena happened to be at her friend Alessia's house when the screaming crowd passed. Alessia ran to her: "here are two men who are condemned to be torn with heated pincers." Catherine went to the window. And she didn't see two criminals. She saw a swarm of demons crawling over them — tormenting their souls far worse than the pincers tormented their bodies. She dropped to her knees and began to pray. And the demons turned on her. "If thou dost not cease," they snarled, "we and these two reprobates will torment thee to such a degree, that thou shalt become possessed." A saint — threatened with possession — for the crime of praying. She didn't blink. "Whatever God wills, I will," Catherine said. "I shall not discontinue what I have commenced." She begged Christ to remember the thief on the cross, Peter who denied Him, Mary Magdalene, Matthew the tax collector — every sinner He had ever refused to throw away. "I entreat thee by all thy mercies, hasten to relieve these souls." And as the cart halted at the city gate — where the two men were about to die — Jesus appeared to them. Wounded. Bathed in blood. Begging them to come home. A ray of light pierced their hearts. The cursing stopped. The two men who had spat at every priest now screamed for one. They confessed everything. And they walked the last steps to the stake as joyfully as men going to a feast. The executioners were so shaken they could barely continue. But here's the detail that proves this was no accident. Alessia confirmed it afterward: at the very instant Catherine finished her prayer and came out of her ecstasy — the two men breathed their last. Not a minute before. Not a minute after. The exact moment. Days later, her companions overheard Catherine praying: "Lord, I thank thee for having delivered them from a second prison." They asked what she meant. She meant the two damned men were now in heaven. Two souls the whole world had thrown away — caught at the very edge of hell by one woman who saw the demons and decided to fight. There is someone everyone has given up on. Be the one who won't. Source: Bl. Raymond of Capua, The Life of St. Catherine of Siena (written by her own confessor), from his account of her extraordinary miracles, immediately following the conversion of Andrea of Naddino.

Dear Cardinal McElroy, Greetings in Christ. We read in Redemptionis Sacramentum, “In distributing Holy Communion it is to be remembered that ‘sacred ministers may not deny the sacraments to those who seek them at appropriate times, are properly disposed and are not prohibited by law from receiving them.’ Hence any baptized Catholic who is not prohibited by law must be admitted to Holy Communion. Therefore, it is not licit to deny Holy Communion to any of Christ’s faithful solely on the grounds, for example, that the person wishes to receive the Eucharist kneeling or standing.” (RS, no. 91). In the Roman Rite, the Church continues to teach that the norm for the reception of Holy Communion is on the tongue (GIRM 160; RS 92). The Latin Church also preserves its longstanding tradition that it is not licit to refuse Holy Communion to those who wish to receive kneeling (RS 91). The inclusion of altar rails will help us accompany those who wish to receive in this more reverent and traditional fashion. It will also help to ensure a continuous flow, since multiple people can kneel at the same time; thus, there is no issue of halting the Communion line. Furthermore, since the Church permits Holy Communion standing and in the hand (IDM; GIRM 160), those who wish to do so still can. I think an important pastoral note to bear in mind is the following: Is it truly at the service of the People of God to deprive them of altar rails, which helps facilitate the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue and the chosen devotion of kneeling? While keeping in mind that the liturgy ought to be respectful in terms of timeliness, I also fear that concern for time can steal away from the most important time we ought to be generous with; the time we give to God. We devote time to so many things. Can we not devote a little more time to the most important moment of our day: Holy Communion? In terms of pastoral care for the elderly and the infirm, altar rails will actually help ensure that those behind the communicant do not trip, because communicants will be situated at the altar rail. Furthermore, we should consider that for decades and even centuries the Church distributed Holy Communion to those for whom walking was difficult. It was not an issue then, and it does not have to be now, because the presence of altar rails helps address concerns about someone tripping the person behind the communicant. Another important question to ask is this: Is it equally reverent to stand before Almighty God for the reception of Holy Communion, or to kneel? If Jesus stood visibly before you, would your first reaction be to fall to your knees or to remain standing? I think of the woman who fell at Jesus’ feet and washed them with her tears and dried them with her hair (Lk 7:36–50). The Pharisee looked down upon her, but Jesus praised her love. This is another important point regarding those who might claim that people who kneel are making a “show” or drawing attention away from Jesus. Again, Jesus praised the woman because of how much she went out of her way to show love, but He rebuked the Pharisee for treating the Divine Guest so casually and for his lack of hospitality (Lk 7:44–47). When I see people kneel for Holy Communion and receive on the tongue, I am edified by their example. It inspires me to climb the heights of holiness, while also rebuking me for my own lack of reverence at times. This witness of reverent reception of Holy Communion should be praised and promoted, not shunned or canceled. To be a welcoming Church we must also welcome those who wish to live out our Sacred Traction, otherwise we cause marginalization and exclusion. This is my humble opinion, based on the Church’s teaching for centuries regarding reception of Holy Communion on the tongue as a more excellent, theologically appropriate, and reverent manner of receiving Our Lord (STh III, q. 82, a. 13; RS 92). Let the people show reverence to God!

This is so important. There will come a time when things get so desperate that if you don’t prepare your spiritual life now, you risk the chance of losing yourself in the chaos of what’s to come. I go to daily mass and adoration, and I only bring that up to say that I often (almost daily) think to myself, if one day the Eucharist or the Mass were to be taken from me, would I have enough of Christ living inside me to be sustained for prolonged periods without Our Lord present in the sacraments? I’m not suggesting the sacraments are or will be taken away. What I’m saying is that through contemplating that very idea, I come up with the same answer every time…. I must know my faith. I must continue to stay faithful in learning what the wisdom of the church has always proclaimed from the vast wisdom she has left behind for us in the saints. I love podcasts just as much as the next person, but the saints have walked the path we are on right now. My faith started to grow exponentially when I became more acquainted with them. My brother is right. Feeding the intellect — the gift God has given us to know who God is, with the wisdom of those who came before us. It’s vitally important.
