American Reform

Your weekend read is here, only at The Journal of American Reform! Canonizations of the Catholic Church are indeed infallible. Father JV De Groot, O.P. explains what this entails: 1. That the one canonized was resplendent in holiness of life. 2. That he has been received among the blessed in heaven. 3. That he is, for that reason, to be venerated and invoked.

My latest for Integrity Magazine: An ode to the Shoah: Leo finalizes the Conciliar Church’s capitulation to Jewish propaganda . 'A Journey of Hope' conspicuously sources its arguments almost exclusively from the Second Vatican Council onward.

In a series of sermons given during lent, later collected and published in English in 1934, Cardinal Michael Von Faulhaber outlined the moderate, Catholic view on race and its significance in the created order. “From the Church’s point of view there is no objection whatever to racial research and race culture. Nor is there any objection to the endeavour to keep the national characteristics of a people as far as…

White people are just beginning to act and talk like every other racial group in America — it’s refreshing. Black people have community leaders, lobbies and legitimate interests. Why wouldn’t they? It’s moral and natural for them. Asians and Hispanics are the same way. As White people, we can and ought do the exact same thing. X 🔗

Since the conciliar relationship on the Jews is openly being discussed, it is worth recalling the position of Benedict XVI on the same question. — In a 2018 Communio essay, revealing his most mature thought, Benedict XVI said it is “basically correct” to abandon the view that “after the rejection of Jesus Christ, Israel ceased to be the bearer of the promises of God, so that it could now be called the people who…

📰 Leo XIV just explicitly approved of a note commemorating 60 years of “Nostra Aetate” and ordered its publication. It plainly confirms: “Nostra Aetate emerged in the aftermath of the Second World War. Initially… as a response to the tragic consequences of antisemitism, which culminated in the Shoah.” Some highlights from the document: “[Nostra Aetate] marked a profound change in the Church’s understanding and…

End the day in commemoration of the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners.

The speech, recorded in L'Osservatore Romano, includes a passage acknowledging racial differences in the context of the greater duties for civilized peoples — the Pope noted that “there are races that…

Before Dr. Taylor Marshall disclosed asking for the intercession of Francis, as was on display last week, it is worthwhile to recall what Marshall said about the same man just four years ago, in 2022. — For those unfamiliar with Marshall’s work, this was his fundamental attitude towards Francis until his death, always being one of his most severe critics. In his video entitled “Who divides the Church, those speaking…

The present crisis in the Catholic Church cannot be understood in its totality unless you understand the mythology of the Holocaust, the taboos it ruthlessly enforced and the long shadow it cast over the Council. Many churchmen at the time, perhaps even the majority, were already metaphorically hiding for fear of the Jews (Jn. XX, 19). A related question that I’ve been thinking about lately — from the historical…
