Catholics Can Disagree and be Charitable

  • Here is an example of one traditional Catholic who differs significantly on his view on something (voting the lesser of two evils in this country right now [as opposed to 1952 for instance when candidates had some sense of morality]) pertaining to the duties of a Catholic but instead of publically berating him, lavishes praise upon him.  This is what makes my heart smile.  Yes, it is possible for Catholics of good will to disagree without insulting one another as the following excerpt and article will show:

    Oh, oh, you're saying, Cain is going to get political. Yes, and no! The most prolific Catholic writer alive today Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey has addressed the political side of this in accord with Catholic truth far better than this editor could ever hope to match. After all, he has a doctorate in Political Science and worked with Patrick Buchanan one of the very few pols who has not sacrificed his ideals though it cost him in his career. Tom, on the other hand went even further by refusing to play the game at all and gave up a lucrative life as a tenured teacher or as a politician rising through the ranks because he believed in principle and Catholic truth. Wow, what a novel concept! You can count on one hand those who have done this and Tom would be first on that list in not compromising with the Naturalists or Modernists one iota.

        On his site Christ or chaos (BTW, a perfect title if there ever was one and one he's had since he began writing back in the 20th Century) Tom has taken to task any and every one who has compromised and rightfully should he in keeping with St. Paul's charge in 2 Timothy 4: 2-5 to

    "Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. But be thou vigilant, labor in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober."

        Like us, Tom took the journey from being a discontented conservative in the Novus Ordo lodges to the Indult (known today as the Insult) to acknowledging the SSPX to finally realizing "resist but recognize" doesn't compute and, having the grace to connect the final dot to the syllogism that the only logical reason for the Great Apostasy foretold in Sacred Scripture and through approved private revelation had to be that the Chair of Peter was visibly empty, though the Papacy continued for Peter and his true successors still ruled through the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church.

    Mike and Tom are two of my heroes in the traditional movement.  I have dared (more than merely being open to a contrary position) to disagree with them at times and yet for some reason they did not lash out at me or attack me personally and publically or hurl false accusations at me.  I wonder what is wrong with them.  They must have missed the boat somewhere:

    "I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church
