Edit: I have a number of Sedevacantist friends. I have Sedevacanists in my blogroll. It’s not my job to police them.
I like Stephen Heiner as a person and consider him a friend. He produces useful things and has interesting things to say. I like The Thinking Housewife. Again, she’s thoughtful. I have no idea who Novus Ordo Watch is, but he’s always been helpful and friendly to me, taking pains to point out where I’ve gotten my facts wrong, or mistranslated something.
They’ve all treated me and my friends in various ways with a great deal more Christian charity than the Neocatholics at Patheos and other establicoids who seem more interested in promoting themselves, their emotive errors, cashing in on the apologetics gravy train and attack those who don’t agree with them with more open malice at times than Bolsheviks.
I love Bishop Williamson.
If I link to someone, it doesn’t mean I endorse them personally, the views of their blog or even agree with everything they’ve written, but as long as they don’t post occult material, are interested in a spirited if respectful tenor of discussion and don’t post pornography, I don’t see what else can be legitimately expected of me.
I also have blogs I roll which aren’t even Catholic, but political in nature, as well as two or three Traditional Anglican and Orthodox blogs.
Such is the state of things at this Catholic website which is loyal to the Magisterium and the current occupant of the papal throne, the Bishop of Rome.
It's astonishing how many people are more Catholic than the Pharisees (in my opinion Pope Francis is one of them - always trying to arrest, silence, and crucify John the Baptist and Jesus Christ while kissing the hand of Barrabas, Herod and Pontius Pilate).

All I can say is gee whiz. I read "The Autobiography of Malcolm X." Found it a revelation. Could occasionally empathize with the personal observations expressed therein, etc. Recommended the book to my friends who I knew liked to expand their world-view and intellectual horizons.
Life's like that, inn't? No breast-beating necessary, I assure you.
Peace.
I have no idea what prompted this post but presume some compassionate 'liberal modernist' has been dealing out the usual fascistic anti-free speech rant while issuing threats and abuse in equal measure. The main reason I have come to despise modernists Is the consistently nasty people they are underneath their faux hand wringing and self conscious agonizing over social justice issues etc. Conversely I have found traditionalists warm, relaxed people who are always well read, cultured and happy to debate and discuss issues in a civilized and friendly manner. As the modernists can now sense victory, they are not even to hide behind their usual masks and their vicious hatred and paranoia is slipping through. Glad to see you will not let yourself be bullied
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, but are we listed on your blogroll? :-)
