One of the clearest signs that someone doesn't understand art fundamentals is when they don't understand the difference between style and ugliness. There are ugly children's books out there. Especially a lot of the new ones. I know because I have a young child and do my fair share of searching. Some people look at Carle and say its ugly and lazy. While many of his copycats are, Eric is not. He pioneered his own esthetic style which is immediately identifiable as his. Eric's attention to detail is what gives away his skill and craft. His art isn't ugly- it is simple, and a beautiful marriage of form and value. Not recognizing that is a show of ignorance; I say that as someone who once thought it too. I am begging people to study some basic art theory. I'm not a banana taped to the wall is art guy. I believe there are objective measures of quality and Eric meets them in his ability to craft.
@NigelBiggar @ivor_bacon Britain de-industrialized much of India's traditional textile and handicraft sectors via unequal trade policies and machine-made imports, shifting labor back to agriculture—though limited modern mills and infrastructure later developed.
Shaw is being pompous and disingenuous here. He says nobody is “forcing” the SSPX to travel to Paris instead of Chartes for pilgrimage. Except that I take it SSPX clergy are not allowed to say masses at Chartres? So instead of SSPX laity walking with their own priests, Shaw says they can just abandon them and walk with stranger priests in the other direction and assist at their Masses instead? OR the Society could just cave, accept the Bergoglian Revolution, and sign on the dotted line with Tucho and go to Chartres. Therefore, Shaw concludes nobody is FORCING them to walk to Paris in the opposite direction so they can say Mass in their own church. What utter arrogance and complete and total lack of compassion for fellow Traditional Catholics. On top of the disingenuous nature of saying they are not forced to go to Paris.
@BigModernism Shaw is a convert. Today's Converts are somewhat evil. Have you never been hurt by a convert? Converts are the Locusts mentioned in Apoc 9.And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
@BigModernism The LMS is High Church Anglicanism: Smells n' bells and no care for doctrine.

Today at noon thousands of red rose petals will flutter down through the oculus of the Pantheon in Rome. This spectacular tradition is held each year on the feast of Pentecost.
20,000 young people on their knees in the dirt on Pentecost Sunday, worshipping Almighty God the way He has been worshipped for centuries. Moving scenes. They are part of the Church and should be welcomed, not ostracised because they draw strength from the Traditional Latin Mass.
