Maybe I am wrong, but isn't it strange that no Traditionalist priests, bishops, or publications have said a word about the now four shocking planned parenthood videos.  The fourth one even seems to indicate that there will be a live birth harvest released sometime in the future.

Do they share the same branding companies or what?

Bishop Williamson hasn't preached against widows committing ѕυιcιdє by throwing themselves on their husband's funeral pyres.

What's the matter with him?  :rolleyes:

...or maybe it's a sin that his flock isn't having an issue with, so he doesn't feel the need to preach against it.

Remember, every sermon he gives against such ѕυιcιdєs, seppuku, or abortion is a sermon he can't give on MORE RELEVANT topics for modern Americans. Just think of it as an opportunity cost. A priest has to prioritize -- which topic will do the most good for the greatest number of souls?

Yes, a sermon against seppuku (Japanese ritual ѕυιcιdє) is GOOD (as in, better than nothing, or lacking any evils itself), but he can't give a sermon on that topic AND a sermon on using the Internet at the same time. He has to choose. Which is more likely to benefit his American audience?

Matthew I never gave it a single thought. In the Resistance and such circles, they have a lot more things to discuss than "natural law" topics that need no commentary. For the Indult, that's all they have to launch a crusade about: obvious topics touching on the Natural Law.

Matthew Bishop Williamson hasn't given a single sermon against seppuku, has he? Maybe he doesn't need to. Every sermon against seppuku is time wasted on Americans, which could be better spent talking about more relevant topics such as the Internet, the Crisis in the Church, or keeping the Faith in the modern world.

Matthew That was my point. Americans aren't tempted by seppuku (ritual Japanese ѕυιcιdє) and American Trads are all repulsed by abortion. No need to preach against it.

Matthew We can leave that to the protestants and Indulters to attack -- it's all they have! We have to push onward, beyond the Natural Law, to try to defend/conquer territory in the SUPERnatural sphere. Understand?

Matthew First of all, politics is a hopeless cause in the USA. I don't know about Brazil. Second, there are tons of "good causes" that a priest can put his time into. Just because he isn't pursuing a particular battle doesn't make him defective.

Lawrence John Myers You raise an interesting question Michael. Every Traditional Catholic would have been shocked at the recent revelations with respect to Planned Parenthood in the US and the vast industry in harvesting organs from aborted babies that they have created. Should we be similarly shocked at the deafening silence from Traditional Catholic bishops and priests since the release of these videos? Certainly! But what have we ourselves done to try to stop this EVIL practice?

Matthew If there is a priest you admire, why not bring it up yourself and help spread the word? Maybe you have a special calling to help in one of these battles. But why the instant tendency to be negative -- as soon as you see one good priest doing something good, your first movement is "why aren't the other priests doing this" and publicly calling them out? Is that how bitter and negative we have become? You are complaining negatively about how some priests aren't out there making progress and doing good things -- why not set the example? You're basically guilty of the same thing here -- engaging in friendly fire where you should be out there fighting for Christ the King

Lawrence John Myers Please guys remember this is not a Pro-Resistance forum...please keep posts on CathInfo to that forum...not here...thanks. On the subject Michael raised I think there is a lot we can do if we are sufficiently motivated. Any suggestions?

Centro,

I won't be responding any more on that FB page, just so you know.

That Laurie Myers -- Sheesh! Talk about a tin pot dictator -- give a guy a FB group with 180 members and he becomes an egomaniac dictator. This isn't the first time I've seen him "flexing his muscles" either, or I wouldn't be saying anything.

It's worse than those dictator types you encounter in charge of Homeowners' Associations. "NO, you can't hang dry your laundry." Some people just aren't cut out to handle power. Give them a little, and they get drunk with it. Meanwhile some men are noble enough to rule thousands of square miles and not have it go to their heads at all.

But guys like this just love throwing their weight around.

Centro,

Well excuse me for not keeping you properly entertained

 :rolleyes:

I just fail to see what the problem is.

Unless you have a particular case to complain about, why bring it up? Do you really know of a group of Resistance priests/laymen who are just wasting tons of time, sitting around on their hands, when they could be doing good deeds?

I, for one, am not prepared to make such a sweeping judgment about people I don't know. On the contrary, I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt that they're doing their best with the limited free time and money they have.

Well you have completely misinterpreted my post and it isn't in any pleasant way either.  I had no one in mind when I wrote it and if I had it would've been the Remnant.  I was sure that they would be the ones to say something.  Why would I make comments generalizing and attacking my friends?  The  people who performed my wedding and confirmed my wife...  That's more of an insult than my simple question, which I asked with the full desire of reading something posted showing that I was wrong!!!

I thought you were insulting the Resistance with the dig about "the same branding corporation"

If I misunderstood, then my bad.

I didn't mean to insult you -- I just meant to defend some individuals who I believe deserve that favor.

It actually occured to me while praying the first five decades that the "branding" remark was misinterpreted where I used the pronoun "they".  Just to clarify, the "they" referred to the branding company (public relations company) of PP that asked the media not to talk about it, and whoever else might happen to be using a branding company.

I mentioned the Ridgefield letters, as a time when Bishop Williamson spoke about American issues as an American resident and directrd to the American people.  Many times, as an English professor, I am forced to make my students understand merely by context. It is a habit of mine, so I thought context would be considered.

I am surprised the Matthew would come so strongly to accuse me of posting against the resistance, since I actively attend resistance chapels, was married in a resistance chapel, and have a blog that says at the top that it supports the USML.  Weird.

Wow, there is surely some ignorance in the air today.

Since I misinterpreted your original post as well and I'm not even concerned with the Resistance and it still sounds to me like you're condemning all traditional Catholic priests and bishops because none of them have "said a word about the now four shocking planned parenthood videos" in a forum you have seen and since I don't even know what the FB forum is where, apparently, you have had a much larger conversation on the issue, would you explain what you really meant by your opening post?
