Quote from: J.Paul

Franciscan, we can not raise soldiers from a culture which has lost the spirit of militancy for God.

Saint Marco D'Aviano pray for us

Only the Muslims do that these days. Religion for Westerners is only an adjunct to their personal lives, if that, which is more disposed to elevating celebrities, sportsmen, and those that promise to maintain their incomes and asset values. Do their comfort zones need religion, let alone a militancy that attacks the status quo? Come a hundred years, residual religion may well disappear apart from it appearing somewhere in psychological books and included in themes holiday breaks.

We can of course rely heavily (and exclusively) on prophesies but that is passive religion. The return of militancy can only occur on the backs of a broad ιnѕυrrєcтισn or crisis which would so disrupt society, causing minds to revisit traditional values for solutions.  

“And Jesus said to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there was a great calm.”   (Matthew 8:26)

It is very good that there is so much faith among us at CathInfo.  The defence of “smells and bells” is utterly legitimate and the aesthetic love of our holy religion is entirely laudable.  Still, even more and greater faith can be hoped for, at least from the men.

Why this somewhat timid view of our own people and history among Catholic men?  What do we imagine we have to lose and why the blindness to what we have to gain from a more ambitious eagerness to increase Our Lord’s external glory here on earth?    

There is no generic egailtarian one-size-fits-all “Westerner”  who somehow bridges the gap between Catholic and Marxist.  Either we’re Catholics or we’re Reds and never the twain shall meet.  Nowadays most Western men are Reds and in consequence they are rapidly dying out as one would expect.  Such are the wagtes of their Great Apostasy.  But this has little to do with the Roman Catholics.  We are on the other side of the Great Divide in comtemporary Western society.  And more specifically on the winning side!

Actually the Musliim terrorists are pretty pathetic mercenaries organized and paid by N.A.T.O. through Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf states with Israel playing the role of Puppet Master behind stage.  They simply embody the Great Apostasy among the Muslims and are no more loyal to Islam than the N.A.T.O. military forces are to Christianity.  Neo-Liberal Reds and apostates all.

Resurrection comes from above, not from below.  It is noble and aristocratic, not plebian or democratic.  Death is democratic, but resurrection is kingly and monarchic through and through and although the Kingship of Christ can be expressed through an aristocratic republic or Catholic dictatorship, the normative form of our Western civilisation is and always must be hereditary Roman Catholic monarchy.  Of course!

The crisis is already here.  We needn’t wait for it to arrive in future.  It will continue to intensify, but the crisis is in full swing already.  Even the coalescing of what is often referred to as a “revolutionary situation” is being generally recognised at present by those capable of seeing such an historical opportunity.  In 2017 it will be Catholics who will be somewhat imitaing the Vladimir Lenin of a century ago and, so to speak, arriving in Petersburg at the Finland Station.  

Therefore it behooves us to be preparing some speeches and readying ourselves to address the mobs and overthorw various regimes as Revolution (or Counter-Revolution) unfolds.  As it undoubtedly will directly in the immediately proximate years.  Very many Western minds are revisiting the Traditional values as we type and perhaps too much patience is not always the most timely virtue.  Perhaps at present decisiveness is the more appropriate attitude, with some healthy aristocratic fury mixed in as well.

All in all, a time for Roman Catholic wrath, not Roman Catholic pusillanimity.  

I believe, rather, that if it takes recruiting every violin player, storekeeper, engineer, etc. to be soldiers, then I guess it's going to take God's active help to end this Crisis.

Some men are just not called to be soldiers.

And here is the real problem: we don't have a king or legitimate army that we can be drafted into. So even if we were all convinced by your speech, Franciscan Solitary, and we all decided "Heck yeah, let's fight!" and went for our pitchforks and guns, then what?

Are we going to volunteer for the US Military? Fat chance. Oh yeah, let's become cannon fodder for the NWO. That wouldn't get us anywhere!

So you're talking about popular armed revolt.

That's called an ιnѕυrrєcтισn or a riot, not a war. Wars are held between 2 or more countries with legitimate leadership (kings, presidents) on each side.

If we just start a civil ιnѕυrrєcтισn/riot, then we'd get murdered by the US Military (BATF, FEMA, etc.) because they are just waiting for those riots to break out. They are completely prepared (1 billion rounds of armor-piercing ammo, etc.)

Sorry, I don't care what it means for the world, I can't allow people to call for such armed rebellion here on CathInfo. Call me yellow, call me lily-livered, call me a sellout, call me controlled opposition, or whatever you must. But I'm not gonna go there.

Got it?

And for those of you comparing today to 1775, think again!

There was MUCH more support among the colonists for a revolt against England than there are "fervent Traditional Catholics" today.

Even if 100% of Latin Mass attendees could be united, educated, and turned into fervent, 7-day-a-week Catholics understanding the Faith and the Church's social doctrine, and could each somehow be infused with a ton of bravery...

...we'd still be slaughtered. Do you have any idea how outnumbered Latin Mass-attending Catholics are, compared with the rest of the population?

Back in 1775, people still knew how to write, how to read, how to think. Today our minds are enslaved to electronics. We can't even remember things when the Internet is down, because we can't access Google! (How are we supposed to know how many ounces are in a cup or how many feet in a mile when we can't ask Google!)

In 1800 people didn't vote for a presidential candidate because he was better looking. But that's precisely what happened in 1992 -- countless women admitted on national TV that they voted for Clinton because he was better looking than George Bush.

The world is a different place today.

As I've said before, when you're outnumbered 100,000 to 1 (which we are) there is no hope of a human, military victory. Even if you resorted to "asymmetrical warfare" or terrorism, I'd still bet against you winning.

Miracles will most certainly be required. The normal kind of credentials won't cut it. Hopefully, we'll be trained enough to be able to discern a nutty cult group from a legitimate Catholic counterstrike along the lines of the Cristeros or something. There will always be some who go for the bait though.

Franciscan Solitary,

First of all, I want to point out that you STILL haven't clearly denied that you're calling for ѕυιcιdє vests, snipers, and IEDs emblazoned with Catholic logos instead of Muslim ones.

I understand what FS is getting at, or at least his words resonate with me even if I can't be certain that they mean for me exactly what FS intended. If you cannot understand, perhaps it is because you are putting the cart before the horse. You wish to have tactics and strategy spelled out before assenting to the goal. Is the goal of restoration worthy of great sacrifice and effort?

Most Catholic men today would say no if they were truly being honest because deep down they see themselves, collectively, as consummate losers. That opinion is false. However, if it was true I would have to agree because no amount of effort by consummate losers could result in the victory of restoration. Another impediment is a kind of loser theology which holds that men daring to fight for restoration would be sinfully guilty of hubris. We are supposed to wait in prayer for God to deliver the victory, or whatever He intends, on a silver platter. The duties of men in this scenario are no different from those of women.

More than the malfactions of liberals, muslims, or jews, I think the greatest reason for the defeat of the Social Kingdom of Christ has been an illogical and almost suicidal loser mentality that has gradually taken over the minds of Catholic men. It is like a tiny mind virus or parasite started in our minds maybe 500 years ago and after each generation grew larger and more voracious in consuming the energy of its host. Banish that loser mentality, and the vistas of possibility open up again.

Let's say I have done that and have committed myself as a soldier in the fight for restoration. What then?

o Train as a soldier within the bounds of my current state. Improve diet, lift weights a couple times per week, and go to the range several times per year.

o Form or join an organization made exclusively of like-minded men. A man cannot serve as a soldier without fellows.

o Develop strategy and tactics suitable to the terrain of the present battlefield. For an organization, this would certainly involve developing a network of successful corporations.

A soldier is deadly serious about accomplishing his mission. He will not waste time on fantasy scenarios or waste his life to "go out in a blaze of glory." Finally, as a soldier he recognizes the superiority of the sword over the pen, or more specifically, of action over yakking.

Humans are not very rational beings and so are mostly impervious to logical argument but they often at least recognize success when they see it. "Many are called but few are chosen." It is probably true that most Catholic men are unwilling or unsuitable for action. If one is suitable or wishes to become so, he should proceed without waiting for others to tag along.

Too many men out there want the restoration..... handed to them...
