Traditionalist Catholicism

So, you know, people who believe the apocalypse is coming offer magical preparedness courses.

Trad Catholics condemn magic while at the same time popularizing their Instagram feeds by constantly talking about it, like some witch hunter general using magical techniques to disavow their connection to magic and witchcraft.

Political pundits and secularized media organizations ridicule spiritual perspectives and techniques as a distraction from their own failure to scrutinize things like the 60-hour workweek or economic bamboozling or outdated attitudes about sexuality in the human body.

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm boasting to say I could see all of this happening.

Maybe we're going to start like the new...

Like, Tradcath-style, like, fad, which is like making your own saltpeter.

I

wonder, in some ways, because I've read all these studies about how Gen Z likes going to the movies, but they don't want to see romantic movies.

You know, we will never, you know, he's basically, he's sort of throwing him a bone.

You know, there's TradCath communities here.

You know, you can have your Latin mass.

We have some of that, but whenever you Byzantine Catholicism isn't really there and I remember I literally he basically said like you know we'll think about that and I like burst in and was like I'm against that like I just like I just said that myself to be like as an American I'm also against legalizing Catholicism these guys were like in my group they were like what the hell man but it was it was it's a real thing and the idea that you know somehow we all need to be like getting really mad like wow people are People are being mad and doing war like we can all come together and talk about this like man clearly not clue I'm sorry, but clearly we can't because when was the last time we had a council the Council of Crete 2016 that was simply verifying more of this neopapist ecclesiology.

I feel like they overlap a lot.

Patrick Dineen, maybe more Tradcath.

But with those critiques, they try to frame this as a class.

People like Moussa El-Gharbi, for instance, or I'm thinking, yeah, Moussa El-Gharbi, he doesn't, for instance, frame it as a class in a Marxist sense.
