Traditionalism is an Affirmation

One of the most important things for a person to have is an identity. This is why names are so important to us. Adam was given power to name things in the Garden of Eden, showing that he had dominion over the rest of creation, including Eve, whom he named. When a child finds out that a large, strange-looking animal has a name, he finds comfort in the fact, knowing that, if it has a name, and if Daddy can identify it, the thing must not be all that terrifying. It is known.

Traditional Catholics, or traditionalists, name themselves thus because of their embrace of the traditions of the Church.

Brother André Marie to Speak in Louisiana


The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

On Wednesday, February 8, 2012, Brother André Marie will be speaking at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Lacombe, Louisiana. The title of his talk is “Penance and the Conversion of America.” It will begin at 6:30 PM.

The talk is sponsored by the Mysterium Fidei Latin …


Obama Says Social Policies Motivated by Bible and Teaching of Jesus


Brian Kelly

When most of our foreign aid goes to the militarization of bogus allies and population reduction of African nations through so-called health care, one is again stunned to hear the president ignore these facts and pretend that the purpose of foreign aid is to help feed the poor and the refugees and provide medicines for the sick.


Temporary Fruits of Ecumenical Reflection


Brother André Marie

From the Holy Father’s Address to the Participants of the Plenary Session of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:
Also the study documents produced by the various ecumenical dialogues have great relevance. Such texts cannot be ignored, because they are an important, though temporary, fruit of the common reflection matured throughout the years. Nevertheless, they are to be recognized


Obama and Administration Wage War Against Pro-Lifers Freedom of Conscience


Brian Kelly

By imperial edict, and as a dark insult to pro-lifers who were preparing their annual march to the Capitol to protest Roe v Wade and the ensuing murders of the pre-born, President Obama and self-deluded “Catholic” Kathleen Sabelius of the Department of Health and Human Services  have given new meaning to the word dictatorial. Genuinely Catholic and pro-life employers have been issued an ultimatum. They have one year to decide if they will serve God or the leviathan state. What boldness! What injustice!


Is There Fight Left in Hungary?


The Philosopher

We hope so. Daniel McAdams exposes the reheated communist apparatchiks and their fellow revolutionary travelers who run the European Union, and who are trying to bring the nation of Saint Stephen to its knees. Now the Hungarians are taking to the streets to insist that their government not be cowed by the threats of a despotic EU leadership.
Are the Hungarians at it again? Fifty-six years ago Hungarians landed what was ultimately the fatal blow to Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.


Multiracial Protest against SPLC ‘Bigots’


The Philosopher

Said one black pastor to homosexual activists: “how dare you compare your wicked, deviant, immoral, self-destructive, anti-human sexual behavior to our beautiful skin color.” What merited such a lambasting? The SPLC’s smearing pro-family organizations as “hate groups” for opposing the homosexual agenda.

Wouldn’t it be good to hear Catholic priests speaking with such conviction?


Agribusiness vs. Agriculture


Brother André Marie

Do you know the difference? If not, I suggest a glance at a blog I’ve just come across: Catholic Land Movement. In reply to our question, there is a posting on that site called “An Authentic Agriculture.” Here is the first paragraph:
Today we refer to what the giant monoculture farmers do as agriculture. This is actually a misnomer. What the vast majority of farmers do today is in actuality agribusiness. This is an important and essential distinction.


Hungary Capitulating?


The Philosopher

This, from RT: “Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has promised to revise the constitution that Europeans say has breached EU rules. The European Commission earlier this week mentioned curbs on the independence of the Hungarian central bank, the early retirement of judges and supervision of the country’s data …


Prayer for Church Unity Is a Prayer For Our Own Conversion and For Non-Catholics To Enter the True Church


Brian Kelly

It’s that simple, as Father Paul Wattson intended it in petitioning Rome to approve the liturgical octave. Pope Saint Pius X approved of the octave in 1908 and Pope Benedict XV promoted its observance throughout the whole Catholic Church. The eight days of prayer begin on January 18, the feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, and end on January 25, the feast of the conversion of Saint Paul. The Holy Father in his general audience yesterday called for “interior conversion” saying that the Unity Octave must not be limited to nothing more than “cordiality and cooperation.”


A Note on NH Pro-Life Victory


Brother André Marie

A little note about the pro-life victory in Saint Benedict Center’s home state. Read the following, from Lifenews.com:
Michael Tierney, an Alliance Defense Fund-allied attorney in Manchester, New Hampshire who helped promote the language, added, “It is time to get New Hampshire taxpayers out of the abortion business. Planned Parenthood’s business model is centered on abortion, and New Hampshire taxpayers want no part in it.”

Rome’s Pope Pius V University to Host Conference Refuting Darwinism

After all the hoopla in academia some months ago with the 150 anniversary of the publishing of Darwin’s Origin of the Species, this is welcome news.  The organizers were interviewed by Zenit News Agency.  Here is part of what they had to say:

“Results of recent empirical research published by scientific academies refutes the basic principles of the geological time-scale. It reduces the age of rocks and therefore the fossils in them. The theory of evolution is undergirded by both the time-scale and the age of fossils.

“This evidence from sedimentology harmonizes with the latest findings in genetics, paleontology, physics, and other scientific disciplines. The implications of this research are fatal for Darwinism.”  Read more here

    I am trying to find information on this conference, and other than the Zenit blog you linked to and corss references to this article, I can’t find anything. I dropped a note to Pope Pius University and they know nothing about this.

    Can you help out. Do you have an “official” link. We would like to go or support but it apparently has nothing to do with that university.

  • A Met Fan

    Also, the two email addresses in the original release (also from another blog) are gmail addresses that bounce back. They aren’t .edu or .it addresses like you would expect with this university.

    Dear Met Fan,

    You can see the Press Release copied on my blog: http://brotherandre.stblogs.com/2009/10/28/scientific-conference-refuting-evolution-theory-to-be-held-in-rome/

    This has a link to the Google Pages page the sponsors have posted. I imagine you may find more there. I’ll be in Rome at the end of November, and wish the timing were different so I could attend.

  • Hi There!

    I have been searching and searching for Pope Pius V Univesity on the Internet, and can’t find it anywhere. Does it actually exist?

  • irohcif1979

    Thank you Brother Andre’ and Met Fan. I found this from another catechism forum and we were looking for information on this event. Interestingly enough, this same group has posted similar press releases for the same event, but at different universities, and all are receiving the same notes that no one can find information on it from the schools and the email addresses aren’t working.

    Is someone joking around? The exact same press release is also a couple of other sites, but that one is saying it is at Reilly Center and the University of Notre Dame for the exact same time and day with the exact same people?

  • http://catholicism.org/author/bam Brother André Marie

    Here is a Roman University with the right name: http://www.luspio.it/

    Regarding the comment about a joke, I can’t say. It would seem some informed people (including the Rome-based Zenit News Service) got pretty hoodwinked. With our conference starting tomorrow, I have no way of verifying.
