repetitio est mater studiorum
For quite some time the timeless moral truths were repeatedly taught before sappers prepared by the Frankfurt School (amongst others) infiltrated the Academy and successfully undermined the universal and objective moral order and many who found their theories a convenient excuse to fornicate were then left to exercise authority with guilty consciences with predictable consequences - the guilt was suppressed by etoh/drugs or rationalised away via the latest social theory to come rolling down the intellectual pike.
And while this mephitic movement, which had been slowly building up momentum, began to achieve critical mass in the 1960s, The Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church (see opening address to Vatican Two - said to have been written by Montini) chose that moment to abandon discipline and embrace permissiveness (what were they thinking?) claiming that in the long run truth would prevail over the error man would come to recognise as error on his own owing to the obvious consequences of the error.
There have not been a few Catholic authorities who have intellectually fornicated with the enlightenment and their monstrous progeny have been allowed to ransack the remains of the once Catholic day and we have long been abandoned ever since, in a speech to the Roman Clergy, Pope Paul VI averred he could exercise discipline but that he preferred to be loved.
We are now in the time of this execrable ecclesiastical epoch when men have to realise that they have been abandoned and that they have the duty to keep the Faith once delivered alive in the domestic church for the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church has quit the battle and has increasingly surrendered nearly all of its moral turf to the enemy.
There is not one, not one, Roman Catholic Traditionalist alive in the Prelature whose possession of Catholic Tradition is of sufficient strength that it could be applied as a force against our Inertia Into Indifferentism.
We are in the midst of an historic collapse as bastion after bastion has been razed by those whose vocation it was to strengthen them and, far more often than not, the man who sees and points out the reality is decried as pharisaical and one who is hurting the Faith.
Lord have mercy.
Jesus established His Hierarchal Church and the failure began at the top and all of the rapidly declining objective measurements of Catholic life beginning in the 1960s can not be placed at the feet of the laymen who search for love in the ruins of a once glorious church; and if that love can be found in a Cave of Covadonga that is in union with the local Bishop and Pope, hip hip hooray.
But, not a few of us find ourselves in the local Franchise of Dead Diocese America, Inc. constrained to maintain the Bonds of Unity in Worship, Doctrine, and Authority as best we can in our own microway of the Cross.
Raider Fan is the same age as Israel and the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church that he was born into in 1948 is invisiblium even as Jesus was invisibilium to the world while He was in the Tomb and because Jesus is always the Head of His Church, Raider Fan has nowhere else to go - he stands with Mary and John at the foot of the Cross even when Peter flees out of fear for the Jews.
And, the final and funny thing, Raider Fan would not have it any other way for it is the will of God that he be alive at this time in these circumstances for as Saint Vincent of Lerins teaches, this is how God tests him to see if Raider Fan loves Him.
