  • Thank you M.
    I too pray for everyone here on CI and on another trad forum I go to.
    I especially pray for the Jєωs, satanists, globalists, Communists and others who aggravate me.
    May God Bless You

    p.s. I'm really struggling to pray for Fauchi, since family members have been seriously damaged by the CCP vaxx. Please pray for me.
    I started praying for you yesterday. I will add this special intention, if you can please pray for me as well, for humility.

    I will pray for you.  Think of Our Lady at Calvary, and how she prayed for everyone, all of us sinners, whose sins were putting her Son to death.  Hopefully that might help.  And didn't St. Stephen pray for Saul, who was persecuting the Church, who then converted to become the great St. Paul?  - try to think of it that way.

    Perhaps this might help too.  It came out when that evil vaxx was coming out.  It seems to me like it ties in with the discussion earlier about praying for an evil person's death.

  • Is this an article or something? It's just Trump Derangement Syndrome disguised as Catholic moral teaching.

    Matthew challenged Ladislaus to come up with one traditional priest who said it would be a mortal sin to vote for Trump. Ladislaus failed to come up with one. Maybe you can?

    Yeah, Matthew pathetically unable to refute a single word of what I was saying regarding legitimate moral principles and evil false principles.  M1913 cited St. Thomas some papal teaching holding exactly what I have been stating for years.

    Matthew and the Trad clergy were all evidently asleep in moral theology class.

    ... since it's Day One stuff there that "lesser evil" is a false / rejected principle and that the end does not justify the means.

    Yet we have moronic Trad clergy using the term "lesser evil", causing great scandal among the faithful, legitimizing that error of moral theology.

    I also clearly laid out the possibility of applying "double effect", but pointed out that no one has made (or even attempted to make) a case of voting for Trump based on this LEGITIMATE Catholic principles, but continue to regurgitate variations of "lesser evil".  I've never ruled out the possibility of making a case for the liceity of voting Trump based on this legitimate principle, but no one has even tried.

    Those Trad clergy and all the other promotors of these errors on this forum and anywhere else will be held accountable by God for their error.

    And you, Matthew, and everybody else, continuing to promote your error while being pathetically incapable of refuting a single word I wrote, appeal to the "false authority" of these derelict Trad clergy.

    All the world's bishops, priests, and theologians, those who actually HAD jurisdiction, unlike our vagus clergy, many of whom might as well have obtained their academic credentials from Cracker Jack boxes, and yet posture as if they were expert theologians, all these Catholic authorities with jurisdiction and teaching authority endorsed Vatican II as legitimate (whom Cekada would claim were infallible just a few years earlier) ... and even +Lefebvre signed all the V2 docuмents, and many Catholics have made the same absurd "Nuremberg defense" argument that you are making, to the perdition of their souls.

    Who are YOU to reject this teaching of the man the entire Church has accepted as pope, and the teaching of all the bishops in the world and all the theologians and all the priests, etc?  By what of your "own lights" do you do these things?

  • Which Bishops? Most if not all are silent on error or have compromised in someway with V2.
    At this point with all these Independent Traditional Catholic groups ie CMRI, SSPX, Fr Hewko, Bishop Sanborn, Bishop Zendejas it is best to look at the consensus when it comes to the issue of voting.   Voting is being left to the individual,  you are free to vote your conscience,  but you are not free to tell others they are sinning if the do something differently than you.  My conscience doesn't bind you and your conscience doesn't bind me.  We can discuss the issues charitablely and we can express our opinion as just that an opinion.

    Prayers for all.  This is a very tough battle because it is more unseen than seen, but God is with those who accept His graces.   Practice true Catholicism and offer our sufferings for the good of all.

    1 Corinthians: Chapter 13 "4 Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; 5 Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;"

  • Right Ladislaus.  You can't vote against the more dangerous politician because according to your interpretation and understanding, just by voting, it means the voter gives consent to every sin of the immoral politician.  I don't agree with that. I'm not voting with that intention. So just stop trying to tell everyone what they think.

      So you and others won't vote because of the immorality and corruption, but you and others pay taxes into a corrupt and immoral system controlled by the same corrupt and immoral politicians who, as you are fully aware of, use your tax money to fund all kinds of immorality and murder.  Funny and conveniently how you and all the martyrs here take such a strong stand against voting(  refusing to vote has zero personal consequences) but you all somehow have no problem paying taxes to fund a corrupt and immoral system run by the same corrupt and immoral politicians. Why? Because if you carried your principled position towards paying taxes, and refused to pay taxes (sales tax, property tax, school tax,etc, ) the consequences would be immediate and personal.

    So many talk about "they want to be martyrs". They had their chance in the 2020 covid experience.  No martyrs, plenty of theology.

    So all the Trad clergy alive today are "vagus clergy" who "might has well have obtained their academic credentials from Cracker Jack boxes". Such respect for the Trad clergy.

    Yes, I am on the opposite side as you on this specific point. And I feel I'm in very good company.

    Just when I was tempted to think I might be wrong -- you go and make me feel completely righteous by slam dunking the entire collective Trad Catholic clergy down the toilet.

    Yes, Ladislaus. Please slam dunk me down the toilet too while you're at it. I want to be with them, not you.

    I'm willing to have some pretty unpopular opinions. But I'm not willing to condemn others on any prudential or controversial topic that not a single Trad Catholic clergy has raised his voice upon. I'm not willing to believe in that thorough a collapse of the Catholic Church.

    The whole "Trads are going to Hell, and no Trad priest is even trying to stop them!" is insane to me. It suggests that God has utterly abandoned us.

  • I have seem very little people citing moralists in this much debated subject.

    My contribution:

    Moral Theology. A Complete Course Based on St. Thomas Aquinas and the Best Modern Authorities. 
    John A. McHugh and Charles J. Callan. 1929.


    Quote
    _Per accidens_, it is lawful to vote for an unworthy candidate when this is
    necessary to prevent a greater evil, as when the opposing candidate is
    much worse, or a good ticket cannot be elected unless some less worthy
    candidates are included.


    Moral Theology BY
    REV. HERIBERT JONE, O. F. M. CA. Fifteenth Edition (1961).


    Quote
    One may vote for an unworthy candidate only when this is necessary to prevent a still less worthy candidate from obtaining office; but in such a case one should explain the reason for his action if this is possible. In an exceptional case one may vote for some unworthy candidate; viz., if he can thereby avert some unusually great personal disadvantage.


    Dominic M. Prummer, O. P. 
    HANDBOOK OF MORAL THEOLOGY. Published in Germany in 1949. First published in English in 1956.


    Quote
    In itself it is a grave sin against legal justice to elect bad representatives
    for government, since the voters themselves must be held responsible
    in part for the harm caused to the State by such representatives. But
    there may be excusing causes vvhich permit the choice of such persons.
    Thus, for instance, a worker would be justified in voting for a bad
    representative if otherwise he would lose his post and be unable to find
    another. It is also permitted to elect a bad representative in preference
    to one who is worse, which may frequently occur in so-called second
    ballots. The reason which permits a person to cast his vote for this evil
    candidate is that such a vote is no more than material co-operation in
    another's sin


    My question is: are all these Moral Theologians wrong? I don't know that much about the others, but Prummer is one of the most eminent in this field.

    McHugh and Callan were quoted in a thread started by QvD back in August based on the NOW article here:

    Catholic Morality on Voting: Obligation, Permissibility, and that Pesky Problem of the ‘Lesser Evil’ – Novus Ordo Watch

    I also posted McHugh and Callan in my Voting 2024 -  Update thread. 

    I had not seen the other two you posted.  Thank you for posting them.

    I don't have to know the catechism, the Summa, every papal encyclical inside and out to know that voting for candidates that advocate for genocide is to be complicit in that genocide.

    So are you following your logic through to its conclusion?  Have you stopped paying taxes?

    Genocide? Do you mean the Biden/hαɾɾιs administration giving money to both Israel and Iran? Or are you talking about something else? Please enlighten me. I'm not up on the latest from Q-anon 2.0 and their echo-chamber controlled opposition.

    It's not clear to me what you mean by implying that Trump is in favor of genocide, so I'll just answer on basic principles.

    Whatever form of genocide you mean, does the other candidate support it as well? Is she completely against some form of genocide that Trump is in favor of? That would surprise me greatly.

    Do you understand that an election is a competition, and that in this country there are two teams, and therefore it's a competition between two outcomes? If you do something that hinders one team from winning in a game, does that not help the other team from winning to the same degree?

    Those of you claiming "If you vote for Trump, you are voting for all his evil policies", don't seem to understand that if you don't help Trump win, you are helping the other side win, who is worse. An election is a zero-sum game, just as a football game is a zero-sum game.

    The Trump Derangement Syndrome members here seem to think they'll get to live in the reign of Charlemagne or St. Louis IX of France if they refuse to vote for Trump. I have some very bad news for such people. Not only do they not get to live under a world governed by "Christ the King", even if they ridiculously write Our Lord's name into the ballot, but in fact by doing so they increase their chances of living under an even worse enemy of Christ the King than Trump is. I don't think Christ the King thinks that is a good idea.
