>Was he forced into becoming a priest?
From his own memoirs, it doesn't seem so. When I read it it sounded like he had a legitimate vocation.
> Latin was used as the language of international communication, scholarship, and science until well into the 18th century, when it began to be supplanted by vernaculars.

To be honest, your link doesn't really have an air of credibility as it reeks of anti-Catholic bias. Many of those statements are just patently false and can be disproved with even the most rudimentary examination of scholarship in disciplines like history, anthropology, and etymology. I mean, for goodness sake, this is stuff that is taught in high school if not earlier, or at least it was when I was a student. On second glance, it doesn't read like it's written by someone with a whole lot of educational background, though, so go figure.
That is some heavy stuff man. Not really something you can discuss over the internet or on a public forum. Are there any friends/family/priests you can chat about it with?
Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence
This book has helped me a lot to understand suffering. The gist is that all good and evil (in a sense) are both from God which he allows for our perfection, sanctification, our good, and ultimately our salvation.
Just from the little info you gave, probably moving in with your dad might be best bc it seems to be the happiest place. Girls come and go and when the time is right God will make sure to introduce you to the right one (God is that good!!).
There are KJV Bibles with the long canon. I have one.
I'll direct you to his Wikipedia entry, even though this stuff is not that hard to find for yourself. Not at all, actually. Meanwhile, I'll ask you to consider whether you've utilized time and resources wisely by even posing such a question to this thread. To say nothing of the fact that "being a legitimate Cardinal" has nothing whatever to do with conferring the sacrament of orders.
On The Merger of Traditional Catholicism and Trust: https://castbox.fm/episode/RomeCast-11%3A-Reclaiming-St.-Therese-of-Lisieux-id113474-id164253841?country=us&fbclid=IwAR2IF8IrhoyL9ePqwlEsDVSp03RkUNK0apRwWYQJ5PZkolNs7x2hrYdQK7A
I recommend the works of Isaiah Bennett, especially <em>Inside Mormonism</em>. Just keep in mind that since it was written, the Vatican has said that Mormon baptism is invalid (the author was unsure).
This site has the basic information. You can find a nice devotional for the preparation as well as de Montfort's "True Devotion" on Amazon here. As for me, the day I chose didn't allow for a full 33 days of preparation, so I intend to repeat the consecration next year with the full 33 days of prayer, though I know many Catholics renew their consecration with an abbreviated prep formula. After the consecration, it is a good idea to be enrolled in the brown scapular and wear a miraculous medal if you don't already as a reminder of your special devotion to Our Lady.
Hope this helps!
His Deliverance Prayers book? That has a nihil obstat and imprimatur. It's also just a compendium of already approved prayers, so really nothing new.
Do the "look inside" feature to see the nihil obstat and imprimatur.

> It's effects are but dark matter/energy itself is not observable by definition.
I do not believe this is an accurate statement. Similar to the Higgs boson (until recently), apparently dark matter constitutes matter that can, in essence, be observed, but has yet to be.
https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter
From the article:
> The primary candidate for dark matter is some new kind of elementary particle that has not yet been discovered, in particular, weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs), or gravitationally-interacting massive particles (GIMPs).
There is a book, "The Reform of the Roman Liturgy" that then Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) wrote an introduction. I wish I had a copy with me but I don't. But if you read it, you will find that Cardinal Ratzinger himself argues these limitations to changes in the Mass, not concerning just the essentials, but general to the Mass as a whole. The jist of his argument is that change must be organic which really limits the top-down approach to liturgical change. My take away is that he is retroactively opposing the process that resulted in the modern rite but that the genie is out of the bottle and to rebottle the genie would be to commit the same error twice.

If you're Catholic yourself, then you'll have your own Catholic point of view all you like.
I never thought about going to a low mass... The times I went, I sought out solemn high masses.
I just bought this because I figure it'd help to read through it a bit before going to another TLM. Pacing will take a lot of getting used to. Hahaha I didn't know there were mass comic books.
Edit: yeah she's very familiar with the NO mass and its parts.
If you can read Spanish
We were gifted books in this series, La Nave y las Tempestades (The Ship and the Storms) by a traditionalist Cardinal in Mexico. Most excellent books with bibliographies, the one on the Cristero War has photographs, well researched.
Oh my, my, my, my.
Yes. If you grew up being brought to mediums and such, you may want to consult with a priest about double-checking that you don't need an exorcism. These "attachments" can have long-lasting effects and/or stay with us and cause difficulties.
To get you started, here is Father Rippeger's book with many initial deliverance prayers.
I would say start praying those and seek out a competent priest.
God bless.
Augustine is not saying that God only created matter and then guided it through natural processes until the individual things and kinds were created.
God created both the matter and the forms instantaneously, Ex Nihilo. Within those things is a lot of potentiality to change and adapt, which how Aristotle would have looked at the the world.

Paul J. Glenn, Sections from A Tour of the Summa: Part 1 Creation
It is not true that God created the bodily world as a mass of matter which somehow has worked itself out into the many individual things and kinds of things which we find about us. Both distinction of things and multitude of things come from God. In creating, God communicates his goodness; creatures are to represent and manifest the divine goodness. And goodness, which in God is simple, in creatures is diversified; what phase of the divine goodness one creature fails to represent, may be represented by another. The whole multiple and varied universe manifests the divine goodness more perfectly than any single creature could do.
The variety of things in the created universe involves inequality in things. Mineral bodies, plant bodies, animal bodies, human bodies, are not on a level except in bodiliness. There is an arrangement in them, a series of degrees of excellence or perfection. The universe would not be so perfect if only one grade of being or goodness were found in creatures. Hence the inequality of things is from the Creator.
He is honest and able... to bring things into existence from nothing in all of their substance.

It was testimony by the Knights themselves of having to do these weird rituals like kissing a cats anus and denying Christ verbally while not denying Christ in their hearts (which is gnostic). And (some of) this info was volunteered not under torture. Phillip IV could have destroyed the KT for both reasons, bc of the KT's satanism AND bc it was simultaneously a good cash stream. Two birds with one stone.
It would be an interesting scholarly undertaking but I think most of the primary sources are in french. If you can point out any secondary sources in english, I would be much obliged.
> TLM was doing an absolutely lousy job of evangelizing European Catholics.
Assuming that's the case, we surely must invent some new sufficiently intensive adjectives to describe the lousiness of a modern rite that is currently characterized by single digit (and falling) Mass attendance rates in virtually every single Western European country. In France and Belgium it's now only 2%, and the under-40 cohort is well under half even that.
​
>Why do you think all the TLM-trained bishops in Europe supported the documents of VC II? They knew TLM wasn't working any more.
It really shouldn't surprise us that the first conclave of the postwar world would produce a pontificate ready to tack hard into the new wind - a wind which blew militantly athiest east of the Iron Curtain, and secular Anglo-Protestant from the west. The Council's deliberations, like the Consilium's work, was almost all dominated by prelates from EEC countries, with a modest supporting role from American churchmen. And the Church in those EEC countries had never really recovered from the war.
Decline had, in some metrics, already begun in some of these countries. The problem is, the refomers ended up taking a challenging pastoral information and made it far worse, undermining or outright destroying what remaining cultural reinforcement markers Catholic communities still posseessed. Stephen Bullivant's Mass Exodus: Catholic Disaffiliation in Britain and America since Vatican II is a illuminating sociological treatment in this regard.
For the primacy of adult catechesis over children's catechesis, if you want a summary of authorities on the proper order of catechesis, with footnotes to the relevant Magisterial documents, you can find it in this book:

Lots of Catholic Audiobooks here, although you should know what you're looking for. You can just search for the book you are looking for and find it there or Librivox is another good resource for stuff like that. For example you can find St. Augustine's Confessions or City of God, or St. Bonaventure's Journey to the mind of God and so on.
r\Brakefailure: Excuse my traditional rant, but at least you get where I'm coming from. Regarding "gates of hell wont prevail against peter and his successors." Take a look at the notes in th NAB, it looks more closely at the word " hell"in the Greek as gehenna or the place of th dead; so I think this passage can be better understood as, the gates of the netherworld(death) will not prevail against the Church. I also do believe in the Papacy, but see some serious heterodox teaching since Vatican II. Take a look at this article on the theory of Sede Privationism: https://wordpress.com/post/saintaugustineblog.wordpress.com/1832 It seems to explain why the Councillor Popes have lost the charism of teaching on faith and morals, while still remaining Pope.

No it's not possible. Even Francis acknowledged it.
Although sedevacantism, that heresy is the inappropriate answer given to the crisis.
​
"These poor people and they are not alone, they're trying to deal with a real inner conflict, they are struggling to comprehend the incomprehensible, they are desperate to know what has happened to that one solid unchanging infallible Church of theirs, the true faith, inherited from their ancestors, learned at their mother's knees, loved and held dear and near unto death. Nothing is making sense to them any longer. Don't you see Don Carlo, they would be willing to accept the most bizarre hypothesis in the world, the Pope being held captive and replaced by an actor. As insane as that sounds, they somehow could find that easier to belive than what they actually see happening with the Church they so dearly love. And what has been happening is far from over, the devil isn't finished yet, no not yet. The apostasy is only beginning."
Couple of these should do the trick: https://www.amazon.com/Spikes-Pigeons-Small-Stainless-Coverage/dp/B085CBNQFX/
But seriously, it's yet another of the countless unwritten rules of correct behavior that differ slightly from congregation to congregation and the only way to learn them is the hard way, by trial and error. Or, mostly by error. Oh I could tell you stories about the passive-aggressive stunts people have pulled on me and on each other right in front of the Blessed Sacrament, including miniature cold wars in the choir loft. Sadly there is no general rule I know of that guarantees conflict-free seating.
But in this particular case, maybe you should have met in the social area (narthex?) plenty early then as a group take up a half-pew all at once when the church is relatively empty. Then you would have plenty of time to set up your missals and give a quick demonstration of how they work. In which case you'll earn reproachful stares for "talking in church", which is probably the most universally and enthusiastically enforced diktat.
But one thing's for sure: absentee squatters who expect others to read their minds about implicit reservations tend to annoy people who show up in person.
^(Edit: I don't know why it's called the narthex when it's clearly on the west end of the building. But the Church is full of counterintuitive mysteries.)
Traditional Catholic App Para quien no lo conozca,no tenga misal ni lo puede conseguir por el motivo que sea he encontrado una app para android llamada Vetus Ordo Missae App (Del Carlo).

​
this isn't a bio on franco but is a pretty even handed look at the people who supported Franco internationally and the many different views that brought people to that side. Which i found helpful in putting together how complicated the sides were in that conflict.
​
In general it would probably be necessary to get a number of books to really get a good scope on the guy, since every author will have their own biases pro or against a person, especially if its a biography, and especially when it is a very complicated thing to talk about Franco and walk the line between being accused of being too critical or too haiographical
Are you looking for an app that contains the Missale Romanum completely, or shows the text of the daily Mass? iMass lets you do the latter, but I don't know if it has the entirety of the MR1962.
I know an app that can help you a little. However, some things are in Portuguese. If you want to use it, you'll need to click on "rezar" and you will have the Rosary, after that, look at the bottom of the screen and click on "orações" and there you have it, vast list of prayers in Latin.
You should read Magisterial Authority by Fr. Ripperger.
Many Catholics today misunderstand the nature of the magisterium to the extent that they see obedience as the highest virtue even if the Bishop in power is a tyrant abusing his authority and committing injustices. Catholics have a duty and a right to speak up for the good of the Church in situations where they see a member of the magisterium is erring or abusing his authority and damaging the Church.
The thing we need to understand is that while teaching at lower levels of authority, the Pope and members of the magisterium can err. We have historical examples of this. But the errors are corrected eventually and as debate intensifies eventually we get a dogmatic pronouncement (as was the case with the Immaculate Conception dogma. )
>The organic development invention again which the modernists use to justify their changing traditions.
Organic development is a legitimate concept, you can read about it by getting this book.
>Antiquarianism is inventing liturgical changes because they speculated that's how it would have been eg fruit of the earth work of human hands. Restoring tradition is not antiquarianism otherwise it would be antiauarianism to go to the TLM.
No, it's inventing changes because you view that practice to be the "better" or "purer" practice. In your case, you want a practice for no other reason than it's older. Never mind the fact that it makes no sense to have a "porter" anymore, and included in the minor orders is "exorcist" of which it would be extremely imprudent to give to a lay person.
In your case, you just want a reader and acolyte. You have this simplistic idea that we can just implement the minor orders but the actual implementation would be a completely new invention. Your argument is completely antiquarian.
>You called it a cop out not to live the religious life. I wasn't suggesting any such thing as the novus ordo abomination ministers you speak of.
It's a cop out not to live the religious life because you are settling for the middle ground of a novus ordo youth minister or a lay missionary. Unlike the minor orders, they get paid and supported by the parish just as a priest. Did you even read the article in the OP? Did you even read what I quoted or what I said? No, it seems very clear that you don't know how to read.
Above everything else, I recommend collections like this.
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Works-Church-Fathers-Christian-ebook/dp/B01F9PRR92
As well as everything by Socrates.
Give yourself the classical education modernism has deprived you of.
Just saw this book on deliverance prayers for the laity by Fr. Rip! A sure must have (he's the exorcist!)

There are also a few on Joan of Arc I hope to read.
My husband has also read her book on the Templars and enjoyed it.

> In this video, Wolfgang Smith was mentioned, have you heard of him? He seems to be interesting.
Yes, I would recommend his book Theistic Evolution: The Teilhardian Heresy
Enchiridion Symbolorum AKA Denzinger
That is just one book that compiles all the doctrines and dogmas of the Church into one index; there are others, but that one is the most comprehensive.
Old Catechisms (Trent, St. Pius X, Baltimore) are good as well. Theology manuals, etc. There are tons of resources.
I suggest you take a look at Fr. Ripperger's book Magisterial Authority. His other books touch on this subject also. That will probably clear things up for you as to why this is very different from what sedevecantists believe.
This is the article I was referencing in the previous comment, same title, different author.
This book may help with some of your anxieties: Searching for and Maintaining Peace: https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Maintaining-Peace-Small-Treatise/dp/0818909064
It gives a good picture of how to obtain the happiness that comes from having a peaceful heart. And it’s super short and to the point!
In terms of becoming more masculine, just start ordering your life to not being about you anymore. :) If you feel like you are called to marriage, start preparing your will to sacrifice for the good of your family. If you’re wondering what to study, find a career to follow that will work well for raising a family. Begin fasting once a week to strengthen your will. E5men.org has a great set up for fasting once a week for your future wife. Go to daily mass when possible. Go to confession frequently. Go to communion while in a state of grace frequently. Help your parents as often as you are able. Get into a workout routine. Get into a daily prayer routine. Find fun hobbies to keep your mind and/or body busy (like you could try woodworking, building, writing stories, learning karate, etc).
My husband is a very kind and gentle man. But he always puts me first and has never made a selfish decision in our 4.5 years of marriage. He sacrifices for me and our children daily, and he will always be the manliest man in my eyes for those reasons. :)
A lot of that sermon is taken from Uniformity with God's Will. If you read it you will see he took lines straight out of that book. Coming to grips with this will make you much calmer about the whole situation in the Church, it puts everything in perspective.
You could try Montanism and the primitive church.
And to Mark Shea followers who say "you don't convert people, the holy spirit does," I respond with a recommendation that they read The Soul of The Apostolate. Which essentially states that the foundation of all apostolic work must lay in a strong Interior Life. Because even though the Holy Spirit does the converting, we can win for them the grace.
I have this app on my phone and its great for finding which churches have a mass. The mass times are not always correct so you need to go to the parish website to know the time for sure.
Get the Laudate app it has a lot of latin prayers including the ones on this site
