In 1870 the Church drew a line in stone. At the First Vatican Council, under Pope Pius IX, the bishops didn’t hedge. They defined that the Pope holds supreme, full, immediate, and universal jurisdiction over the whole Church. Supreme means supreme. Universal means universal. Catholic English isn’t that complicated.
And yet, here we are.
A certain stripe of modern “traditionalist” thumps Vatican I with one hand and swats away the living Pope with the other. They revere papal primacy in sepia tone. They champion infallibility—preferably retroactive. They pledge loyalty to Peter, provided Peter is safely dead.
You can’t swear allegiance to the Chair of Peter and then treat its current occupant like a temporary intern.
Let’s be clear. Not every papal utterance is infallible. Catholics aren’t required to pretend prudential judgments are carved on Sinai. But Vatican I wasn’t only about rare ex cathedra fireworks. It was about authority—real authority—attached to a living office for the …More
If the man sitting as Peter instructs one to place a sacrifice to a demon on the high Altar during Mass, what does one do?
"Let’s be clear. Not every papal utterance is infallible. Catholics aren’t required to pretend prudential judgments are carved on Sinai. But Vatican I wasn’t only about rare ex cathedra fireworks. It was about authority—real authority—attached to a living office for the sake of unity"

True. And what does Vatican I extraordinary Magisterium teach us about the papal authority? For example it teaches:
"For the holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter
not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine,
but that, by his assistance, they might saintly guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles."
Neque enim Petri successoribus Spiritus Sanctus promissus est, ut eo revelante novam doctrinam patefacerent, sed ut eo assistente traditam per Apostolos revelationem seu fidei depositum sancte custodirent et fideliter exponerent.

SSPX. Ecclesial Antifa.
@myunkie The founder Archbishop Lefevbre a Vat 2 Council Father, in which I have respect for, actually signed the first 4 constitutions of the Vatican II. While he never celebrated the N.O. mass, he did offer the interim mass of 1965 to 1969. It was a modified 1962 TLM, in the vernacular with the gloria, credo, and prayers of consecration in Latin. That was the mass that the Council intended.
There are a few problemic areas of the Council but that does not make the Council invalid. A new Council or Pope can issue addendums clarifying and corrections to those areas such as religious liberty, ecumenical, and collegiality.
Not all of Vatican II is problematic. There are some parts that are very orthodox and in continuity with tradition. Bishop Fellay has even said the SSPX accepts 95% of it.
St. John the Baptist Crying in the Desert Wilderness of the Modern Spirit of Jezebel!
You adulterous generation! The spirit of Jezebel has devoured your world—painted face, proud heart, defiant tongue—feminism her venom, rebellion her crown! Rebellion is witchcraft (1 Samuel 15:23)—and this age drowns in it! She mocks God's order from Eden, inverts creation, seduces souls to ruin!
Women! God calls you to two paths alone: the **domestic** home as subordinate wife and mother, guardian of the hearth—or, higher and more perfect, the **convent** as bride of Christ in consecrated virginity! Virginity surpasses marriage (1 Corinthians 7:34; Matthew 19:12): Tertullian calls virgins the Church's flower; Chrysostom names it angelic; Augustine declares it more excellent—heaven on earth! Yet you are tempted to reject both paths, chasing the public glare—careers, politics , recognition—rebellious, unnatural, echoing Jezebel's revolt!

The Lie: Carnal Desire & Pleasure Are "Beautiful Natural Gifts of GOD, Implanted in Human Nature From Creation"
Hear me, brethren, and tremble!
Do not be deceived by what the world calls natural!
Do not be seduced by what men call a blessing!
The measure of true humanity is Christ the Lord!
The standard of human life is the Blessed Virgin, preserved from all stain from the first instant of her conception!
He took flesh—yet no concupiscence stirred in Him!
She bore Him—yet no wound of desire touched her womb or her heart!
Behold, brethren! In the New Adam and the New Eve, we see what humanity was made to be:
virginity, continence, and purity of body and soul—this is the natural state of man!
Not concupiscence! Not carnal pleasure!

A Patristic Homily on Christian Marriage
Beloved brethren, God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. From the beginning He established order, and by order He preserves all things. When He created man and woman, He joined them before transgression, not in disorder, but in unity of life and purpose, in harmony of soul under God.
There was no shame in the beginning, because there was no rebellion. The will was upright, and the body obedient. Thus it is written: “The two shall be one.” This oneness signifies unity and indissolubility, not indulgence. Therefore the Lord Himself later proclaimed: “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Divorce is strictly shunned, for it violates the order established by God from the beginning.
After the transgression, however, man fell from obedience, and with that fall came disorder. Desire—which had no place before—now inclined the will. The flesh no longer obeyed the soul with ease. In this state of infirmity, marriage was …More
The Wasteland of Lust: Church Fathers Cry of Repentance
Hearken, O brethren, and incline your ears! The earth lies desolate, the cities in ashes, and the hearts of men are hardened, not by famine nor by war, but by the insatiable craving of the flesh, which is always disordered, enslaving, and without end. Augustine teaches that concupiscence, flowing from the first transgression, bends reason to serve desire, and darkens the mind. Chrysostom cries: pleasure of the flesh sought for itself never rests, never satisfies, and enslaves the soul.
Scripture commands: “Flee fornication” (1 Corinthians 6:18), and, “the unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:32). Let all know: virginity and continence are the crown and weapon of the faithful, for the flesh finds rest only in restraint, and the soul ascends to God in purity. Jerome declares: “Virginity is a crown, continence a weapon; he who conquers the flesh reigns with God.” Gregory of …More

The Breakdown of Patriarchy and the Necessity of Restoration for Western Civilization
Introduction
The crises of modern Western civilization—political instability, social fragmentation, and ecclesial division—cannot be fully understood apart from the collapse of hierarchical authority, particularly patriarchy, which is the divinely instituted ordering of human relationships across family, civil society, and the Church. This essay argues that the rejection of Pope Boniface VIII’s infallible declaration in Unam Sanctam (1302) marked the beginning of a prolonged dismantling of patriarchal order, culminating in the 20th century with near-total disorder at all levels of society. The restoration of Western Civilization, therefore, requires the deliberate reestablishment of patriarchal hierarchy in the family, civil institutions, and ecclesial structures.

Good article. Tracing the collapse of the patriarchy to Luther's rejection of both papal authority and assertion of the priesthood of all believers ca 1517 may be a clearer origin of the collapse of the patriarchy. That collapse is certainly a critical component in the collapse of both Western Civilization and Christendom.
On Virginity, Continence, Matrimony, and the Use of Marriage
A Treatise According to Holy Scripture and the Church Fathers
Chapter I: On the Perfection of Virginity
It is manifest, beloved, from the witness of Holy Scripture and the testimony of the holy Fathers, that virginity and perpetual continence are the most perfect and honorable state of the faithful; for in virginity the soul is undivided, the mind lifted from earthly cares, the flesh subdued, and the spirit prepared for the incorruptible life of the angels, while the eyes of the heart are opened to behold the vision of the Most High. Our Lord, in His ineffable wisdom, calls all who hear Him to this higher life, showing that the nuptial state of this present life is temporary, ordained for the weakness of the flesh, and permitted to those who cannot restrain concupiscence, yet never enjoining it as the measure of perfection. The faithful who enter matrimony do so out of infirmity, not from the desire of holiness, not as the …More

A Voice Crying in the Wilderness: On the Helper Turned Snare
Repent.
For the order of creation has been inverted, and the curse still spreads.
Hear again the sentence God pronounced—not softened, not explained away:
“Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you,
cursed is the ground because of you.”
Because you listened.
Adam was not condemned for appetite first,
but for misplaced obedience.
She was created as helper—adiutorium, not governor;
crown, not commander;
aid for the good, not guide against God.
St. Augustine speaks plainly:
> “The woman was given to the man as a helper, but by sin she became an occasion of his fall—not by nature, but by disorder.”
(On Genesis, Against the Manichees)
This is the tragedy: the helper became a liability, not by her existence, but because Adam surrendered his post. He allowed the order of creation to turn against itself.

Wedding at Cana- Spouses Make Vow of Continence (Abstinence).
[The Result of Having Purity Incarnate and His Most Pure Mother as Wedding Guests]
From the Revelations of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerick:
### The Vow of Continence at the Wedding Feast of Cana
At the wedding in Cana (Vol. 2), the bridegroom (Nathanael, later called Amator) and bride took
a vow of continence after experiencing a transformative prize in a game arranged by Jesus—a
dual fruit symbolizing chastity. This occurred post-banquet, inspired by Jesus' teachings on
marriage and purity.
Full passage: "At the close of the banquet, the bridegroom went to Jesus and spoke to Him very
humbly in private. He told Him that he now felt himself dead to all carnal desires and that, if his
bride would consent, he would embrace a life of continence. The bride also, having sought
Jesus alone and expressed her wish to the same effect, Jesus called them both before Him. He
spoke to them of marriage, of chastity so pleasing in the sight …More

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Matthew 3:2)
A voice cries in the wilderness! Hear, O men and women of Israel, for the wrath of God is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness (Romans 1:18). You have turned from the Creator, darkened your minds, and exchanged the truth of God for a lie (Romans 1:25). Creation itself proclaims the power and wisdom of God, yet you refuse to honor Him.

Carnal Desire Is An Evil of the Fall
Hear and tremble: the lust of the flesh — carnal desire — is not a blessing, not a gift, not a natural good. It is a punishment, a wound, a consequence of Original Sin. Saint Augustine declares:

Sts. Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops & Doctors
Brethren dearly beloved,
Hear the voice of God, who is neither mocked nor deceived. Confusion is an abomination; rebellion is the mother of ruin. “Order is the bond of peace, and confusion the mother of strife,” saith St. Basil the Great. Where order falleth, there the soul falleth; where submission is rejected, there charity is wounded; where authority is despised, chaos reigneth, and sin goeth unrestrained. Yet the mercy of God remaineth, that those who repent may be restored.
Marriage is a holy ordinance, ordained by God, and not a playground for desire. Within it, authority and obedience must be observed. St. Gregory Nazianzen declareth, “He ruleth best who ruleth himself first.” If the man governeth his passions, he governeth rightly; if the woman obeyeth in virtue, she preserveth the household in peace. When both submit to God’s ordinance, the home becometh a sanctuary of order, charity, and grace.

The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
January 1 – Feast of Mary, Mother of God
Beloved in the Lord, let us lift our minds to the glorious Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, in whom the mercy of the Most High has wrought a wonder beyond all human understanding. In the beginning, the Creator fashioned man and woman in His image, to be fruitful, holy, and obedient, living in harmony with His will. In that first paradise, marriage and the lusts of the flesh were not yet needed, for man and woman were to bear fruit in virtue, in obedience, and in communion with God. The Fall brought corruption; the desires of the flesh entered, and marriage was permitted as a concession to human weakness (Genesis 3:16).
But behold the Virgin Mary, the New Eve, who, in humility and obedience, restores what was lost. She bears the New Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ, yet remains ever-virgin. Her fruitfulness is not of the flesh, but of the Spirit, producing the salvation of the world and the spiritual children of the …More
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph — The Perfect Pattern
Beloved, on this holy feast we behold the Holy Family—
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—
not fashioned by the spirit of the age,
but formed by the will of God.
Here is perfection in obedience.
Here is submission without shame,
chastity without loss,
and perfect love without the work of the flesh.
Joseph stood as head of the house,
a just man, silent and faithful,
bearing the burden of provision and protection.
Mary, full of grace, kept the home,
treasured all things in her heart,
and called her husband lord,
not by compulsion,
but by holiness.
And Jesus—
though Lord of heaven and earth—
was subject unto them,
growing in wisdom and stature,
and in favour with God and man.
This is the family God blesseth.
Now behold the modern family,
and weep.
For authority is despised,
obedience is mocked,
chastity is scorned,
and continence is called foolishness.
The father is weakened,
the mother is displaced,
the children are unruled,
and the home is abandoned. …More

A Voice Crying Out in the Wasteland of the West
Repent! For the order of God has been cast aside, and the land staggers beneath the weight of its rebellion.
You ask why peace has fled your homes, why authority is mocked, why every bond dissolves into struggle. I tell you plainly: it is because self-will has been enthroned and the order of God despised.
Once, authority flowed downward like living water. God ruled. Christ reigned. The Church taught. Fathers led. Women obeyed their husbands, children learned obedience, and households stood firm. This was not tyranny—it was order. It was not degradation—it was harmony. It was not silence—it was peace.
But when men rejected the highest authority—when the world defied the Church and scorned her crown—every lesser authority soon followed. What began as rebellion against the Vicar of Christ became rebellion against kings, then fathers, then husbands, then any rule at all.

Modern Gender Equality Is Collapsing Civilization
Male superiority is Divinely ordained. Aristotle saw it. Aquinas explained it. Scripture codified it: “The man is the head of the woman” (1 Cor 11:3). Spiritual equality exists—but functional equality? A lie.
Hierarchy preserves order, responsibility, and moral accountability. Flatten it, and society crumbles.
Modern gender equality flattens leadership, authority, and roles. The results are catastrophic: broken families, fatherless homes, skyrocketing divorce, declining birthrates, failing schools, and eroding civic virtue. Chaos spreads. Responsibility vanishes. Virtue collapses.
Traditional teaching distinguished value from function. Authority is a burden, not a privilege. Ignoring this destroys accountability.
Secular gender equality substitutes human whim for Divine order. It strips natural authority of moral weight. It inverts reality.
The choice is stark: recognize Divine order or embrace moral collapse. Modern gender equality is …More
July 13, 1917. Our Lady said at Fatima:
“In the end My Immaculate Heart will Triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.”
In May, 1936, Our Lord spoke with Sister Lucy. She describes this conversation as follows:
“Intimately I have spoken to Our Lord about the subject and not too long ago I asked Him why He would not convert Russia without the Holy Father making that consecration.”
Jesus replied, “Because I want My whole Church to acknowledge that consecration as a Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that it may extend its cult later on and put the devotion to the Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart.”
