A friend and fellow Catholic thinker, Charlie Camosy, has a compelling new essay in @firstthingsmag on autonomous weapons and human dignity — and he was kind enough to draw on my own writing on just war from this past May.
Well worth the read: firstthings.com/are-autonomous…

"the SSPX is explicitly developing an ecclesiology of substitution that is foreign to Catholic Tradition. It considers itself to have received the mission — without specifying from what authority — of supplying for the alleged failures of the Church itself. Recognition of the Pope is now merely theoretical, since real authority is in practice transferred to the Society's parallel "jurisdiction," which decides for itself where authentic Tradition resides and when obedience to the Holy See may be suspended." rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2026/05/fr-alb…

Let’s face it. They are all holier than he was, all lived more virtuous lives enduring many more trials and tribulations fighting greater evils than communism and nazism, have done more worldwide evangelization and written far more theological astute dissertations. One can’t really blame them for their haughtiness.

Former SSPX seminarian on a diocesan priest being re-ordained by the SSPX: "[T]here were serious doubts regarding the validity of his priestly ordination. Why? Because the bishop who ordained him was said to be a 'Modernist.' ... The name of the ordaining bishop? Saint Pope John Paul II. Oof."

Yes. This strong anti-JPII attitude stems from Lefebvre himself, who produced a cartoon showing JPII being denied entry to Heaven and waved into Hell by Satan.
But the SSPX are caught in a bind. They believe canonizations are infallible declarations of the Church. Yet they reject JPII's canonization - only further confirming that their theology is based not so much on principle but on whatever suits them and their narrative.

Based on the ignorant comments in this thread concerning JPII, the comment in the thread that says there “must be more to this than the JPII angle” is looking less cogent. I was inclined to agree with it until the other comments reminded me that there is indeed a strong anti JPII element in the Trad movement

@b0rtcask1 @uxixu @LdeJlv @Jahaza And here is the kicker: none of them are associated with a group that is in schism. Which is the primary issue here.

I attend Novus Ordo Masses quite frequently. In fact, I live across the street from a regular parish and attend Mass there probably more frequently than my Ordinariate parish due to its proximity. The Novus Ordo Masses there are reverent and beautiful. The pastor is a wonderful young priest. I enjoy both forms. I also enjoy attending TLM Masses and a Melkite rite near me. Funny enough for you?

"But this time the excommunication is more far-reaching than the one in 1988, which was limited to the bishops involved."
@LarryChappGS22 the decree and note this time around is using literally *the same list* of who is excommunicated as last time.

@kalezelden Enjoy Oxford! One of my favorite places too. Been there five times but it has also been 20 years since I was there.

Sadly, Milbank has become an anti American crank. And I say that as someone who isn’t particularly patriotic about ‘Merica at all. But John’s posts have become increasingly shrill and grossly unfair. And this is a case in point. Florida is a gorgeous State. Which is why people want to live there.
English
Indeed NOONE should be living in Florida. Leave it to the lizards. There is something profoundly disturbing about a nation that increasingly gravitates to its least habitable parts. A posthuman drift for certain. theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@kalezelden @LarryChappGS22 listened to the pod walking the dogs this morning. One of the reasons my mom left the church was because her father was not Catholic and the nuns at St Margret Mary’s incessantly told her he was damned. It is a form of spiritual abuse to tell a child that.

@davidpaulyoung I agree. Fixating on that issue indicates that one is living within an ideologically constructed fantasy world.

@LarryChappGS22 Nice article. It takes some profound larping to worry about the responsibilities of "catholic states" in the midst of broad cultural meltdown...

@CatholicSmark @agostino_harry Ha! You beat me to the 4th well wishes

@LarryChappGS22 @agostino_harry I wish you a Happy Fourth Professor. Doing something other than arguing about people's response to a trend that you admit most catholics have not heard or have an opinion about, and what is or isn't indicative of larger trends.

Counterpoint: all of this ceased meaning anything the second Buddha was incensed atop a tabernacle.
Assisi was an obvious mistake that is not repeated like 1986 for a reason.
倪神父@StMichael71
I hadn't read John Paul II's opening address to the Assisi gathering (the 1986 world day of prayer for peace) before. I was particularly struck by the following: "The fact that we have come here does not imply any intention of seeking a religious consensus among ourselves or ...

@CatholicSmark @agostino_harry Look at us. Two dudes on the 4th of July arguing on X over an event from 1986. Enjoy the day Kevin. I am off to grill some steaks.
English
@LarryChappGS22 @agostino_harry and I say again, take it up with "the movement." Its not a matter of being obtuse. Just trying to understand what we're doing here. You're right, but nameless faceless people not in this discussion say otherwise, and they really piss me off.
Okay?
English
Predictable but hardly silly. But since you pretend to be obtuse let me repeat myself: the event was a mistake AND trads have inflated its importance for anti papal rhetorical purposes. That is the elephant in the living room “reasonable trads” like you constantly ignore. The deep streak of anti papalism that has overtaken your movement.
English
@LarryChappGS22 @agostino_harry "it was bad BUT ##*&$(#( YOU TRADS" is a predictable but silly repsonse.
You can call it a deflection or whatever you want, but in the end, you in fact agree it was a mistake. If you want to be mad I said something you agree with, believe me, its hard but we shall endure.
