[Thread] @DawnofMercy, in response to your recent and lengthy diatribe -- principally against @cardinalrlburke, @Patrick_Coffin, and @TaylorRMarshall, but also naming @EWTN, @NCRegister, @EdwardPentin, @SophiaInsPress and others -- I offer a few observations.
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress 1a) With all due respect, you're making a mountain out of a molehill re: @cardinalrlburke's replies to @Patrick_Coffin's questions. Nowhere did +Burke state that we (the faithful) should hold in doubt the validity of @Pontifex's election. Furthermore, the peaceful and ...
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex 1b) universal acceptance of @Pontifex as the Supreme Pontiff following his election constitutes a dogmatic fact (newadvent.org/cathen/05092a.…), which makes this entire conversation moot anyway. See the following link for further details: catholicfamilynews.com/blog/2018/09/1…
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex 2a) I find it very predictable and telling that a graduate of the "University of Saint Mary of the Lake", affiliated with @MundeleinSem (formerly led by @BishopBarron and under @CardinalBCupich's jurisdiction), wants everyone to believe that @TaylorRMarshall's #Infiltration ...
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich 2b) a bunch of 'conspiracy theory' nonsense. With all due respect, @DawnofMercy, do not insult the intelligence of serious #Catholics who recognize that "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" -- and Chicago, New York, D.C., Rome, etc.
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich 2c) The Conciliar Matrix is crashing down around us as we speak. Only those who are willfully ignorant dare to deny this reality. remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/…
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich 3a) For someone who holds a doctorate in Sacred Theology, you don't seem to grasp the binding nature of #Tradition, nor the fact that the #Magisterium, including @Pontifex, "is not above the word of God" (Vatican II, Dei Verbum, art. 10).
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich 3b) So, for example, just because @Pontifex declares that "the death penalty is inadmissible" -- which @BishopBarron inexplicably defended in June as "eloquent ambiguity" () -- his papal fiat does not automatically make it so: catholicfamilynews.com/blog/2018/12/1…
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich 3c) And why? Because the Magisterium "is not above the word of God". Or, in pre-conciliar terms, "I entirely reject the heretical misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different ...
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich @RobertodeMattei 4a) In closing, @DawnofMercy, it seems to me that you are thoroughly enmeshed in #Modernism if you think that respectful resistance of "profane novelties" (1 Tim. 6:20) held/promoted by @Pontifex constitutes a "hermeneutic of suspicion" () ...
@DawnofMercy @cardinalrlburke @Patrick_Coffin @TaylorRMarshall @EWTN @NCRegister @EdwardPentin @SophiaInsPress @Pontifex @MundeleinSem @BishopBarron @CardinalBCupich @RobertodeMattei 4c) I doubt you will deign to respond to my observations, but I sincerely hope they prove useful to my Twitter followers and other interested parties. God bless and good day to you, @DawnofMercy.
P.S. Here is another book by @RobertodeMattei that you would do well to read (published by @AngelicoPress): angelicopress.org/product/love-f…

🧵 Earlier this week, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski posted copies of two important letters R/T the Vatican's efforts to eradicate the TLM from parish churches.

The first letter (date redacted) was sent by the Dicastery for Divine Worship (DDW) to a bishop: facebook.com/groups/preserv… 1/4
The DDW letter (transcription below) eliminates the possibility of bishops invoking can. 87 § 1 as a means of dispensing Catholics (without Rome's permission) from Art. 3 § 2 of Traditionis Custodes, which forbids the offering of TLMs "in the parochial churches". 2/4
The second letter (dated Jan. 31, 2023) was sent to a priest by his bishop — the same bishop who received the DDW letter: facebook.com/groups/preserv…

The bishop explains that before the DDW will consider granting a dispensation from TC (Art. 3 § 2), certain info is required. 3/4

🧵What a joke. The ones "sowing confusion about the synodal process" are precisely those in charge at @Synod_va — who can't even manage to define the term "synodality"! 1/4
2/4 I've read all of these documents (below) and NONE OF THEM contain an actual definition of "synodality":

• Synodality in the Life and Mission of the Church (2018)

• Preparatory Document (2021)

• Vademecum (2021)

• Working Document for the Continental Stage (2022)
3/4 Comically, the Working Document (DCS) states that "it does not provide a definition of synodality in the strict sense," then directs readers to other sources equally devoid of a definition, while also noting "the difficulty of understanding what synodality means":

[THREAD] As seen in these clips, @Pontifex and other Catholic prelates participated in a smudging ceremony while in #QuebecCity yesterday (July 27, 2022). #PopeInCanada

Source:
"We will honor earth, wind, water, and fire. We will honor the mineral aspect, the vegetable aspect, and the human aspect."

The elder of the Huron-Wendat Nation then asked each direction (East, South, West, and North) to "open its door".
"I ask the western grandmother to give us access to the sacred circle of spirits so they can be with us, so we can be united and stronger together."

#Russia has still not been validly consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, since no pope has ever met all the conditions specified by Our Lady herself (see below): fatima.org/about/consecra…

#Fatima #ConsecrateRussiaNow
.@cardinalrlburke agrees that #Russia still needs to be consecrated "in accord with her [Our Lady's] explicit instruction" (May 20, 2017): voiceofthefamily.com/full-text-card…
.@BishopAthanas1 concurs in "Christus Vincit" (@AngelicoPress, 2019): "It has not yet been made in the manner Our Lady requested. In my opinion, the consecration has to be made more perfectly, and this means with the explicit mention of Russia..." (p. 300) angelicopress.org/christus-vinci…

"The current events have nothing to do with a desire to infringe on the interests of #Ukraine and the #Ukrainian people. They are connected with the defending #Russia from those who have taken Ukraine hostage...." — #VladimirPutin, Feb. 24, 2022

Do you believe Mr. Putin?
Also from #Putin's speech (Feb. 24, 2022) — he refers to "the ruling #Ukrainian regime" as "today’s neo-Nazis": bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Image

For those tempted to believe that #VladimirPutin is "the good guy" in present circumstances, please consider the following: catholicfamilynews.com/blog/2018/03/0… Image
As shown above, Putin signed a "Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation" with Communist #China (July 16, 2001), "with the hope of promoting and establishing a just and fair NEW WORLD ORDER...." voltairenet.org/article173177.…
Moreover, just 20 days ago Putin and #XiJinping renewed their nations' strong ties via a lengthy joint statement, the essence of which is 'Eurasia vs. the West': washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
