The lifestyle of the Amish and similar Anabaptist sects seems far more traditional than the lifestyle of the average Tradcath. Other than going to TLM and otherwise practicing the Faith, most Tradcaths lead completely modern lives like everyone else. Why is this the case, is it because most tradcath men have cushy, well-paid tech careers that they're unable or unwilling to give up?

In everyone’s opinion, how long do you think the current crisis will last? By that I mean when do you think we will finally get a holy pope, that will clarify everything regarding the mass, vatican II, and condemn the errors of the hierarchy and past Popes?

I know God allows everything for a reason, and the Church has never changed her teaching even to this day when the majority of the hierarchy are quite frankly awful, but still everytime I see some word salad from the Vatican, or bishops and priests and even the Pope saying things that contradict our faith, it scandalizes me.

I just pray for the day we have another Pope St Pius X.

In one of Fr Ripperger's talks he mentioned in passing that Adam and Eve committed something like 7-8 sins in Genesis 3. He left that subject for another time. What were those sins?

My friend recently said his great grand father was a Freemason and they had masonic meetings behind the bank in his home town. This conversation kept going and then I mentioned how they are gnostic and were against Christianity. Then he says that they are a Christian Fraternity and I said that wasn't true and even though i never mentioned the church whatsover he brought up the Catholic church and started spewing vile attacks on the church, specifically the Papacy and the Roman Christians. What do I do?

Like the accusation that Copernicus was killed by the Catholic Church or that Roman Catholics killed Jesus or that Christmas, Easter, Valentines Day and Halloween are pagan holidays.

What even is “Golden Arrow”?

In approved by Catholic Church revelation, Jesus Christ dictates to Sister Mary of Saint Peter “Golden Arrow” which would have the power of wounding Him delightfully, and which would also heal those other wounds inflicted by the malice of sinners. It would also send torrent of graces and convert many sinners.

I have an idea for an prayer crusade in which our community could get involved.

The idea is to make a resolution to say the so-called "Golden Arrow" once a day for the rest of your life (of course, I recommend doing it more times, e.g. 3, but the resolution is to do it at least once a day).

You can easily calculate that if e.g. 100 people from our community get involved in this, it would be 100 Golden Arrows per day. After 10 years, this act would have been recited 365,000 times! (and if we said it 3 times a day, it would be over a million such acts in 10 years).

We see that throughout our lives, many millions of such beautiful prayers will be said, and many sinners will be saved from damnation.

Therefore, I wholeheartedly invite you to this action. If anyone is interested, please leave a comment or like so that we know how many people are in our group :)

Prayer:

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored, and glorified in heaven, on earth, and in the hells, by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

I wasn't aware until today that eating meat on Friday is still considered a Mortal Sin ?

14. Skipping Friday Penance. From the earliest days of Christianity, Fridays were a day of fasting, since Jesus died for us on a Friday. In fact, all the way up to Vatican II, Catholics had to refrain from meat for about 50 Fridays a year. This was bound under mortal sin. Has that changed? No. The new Code of Canon Law released under Pope John Paul II has only changed the type of penance, not the requirement for a Friday penance. Now, the suggestion is still to stay meatless, but a substitutionary penance is permitted in the new 1983 code. In other words, we are still bound under grave matter to do some penance (physically hard act of returning to God) on Fridays, even if it is not refraining from meat. But to refrain from meat is the clearest indication we are not skirting around such grave matter, so I highly suggest all readers (except the very old, very young, sick and pregnant) to refrain from meat on all Fridays except 1st class Feasts (solemnities in the new calendar.)

I thought it was only during Lent.
