If I can borrow lines from Pope Leo’s exhortation to embrace migrants, to today’s clerical elites, by and large, Catholic traditionalists “only represent a problem to be solved,” and are not “brothers and sisters to be welcomed, respected and loved.” Alas, if only they loved the Koran, and not the Tridentine mass!

Christians should not retreat into their homes, trembling at the thought of what the world is doing outside. The kingdom of God is not defensive, it’s advancing. Jesus promised, “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). Gates don’t attack. They get stormed.   Every year, October 31st exposes a fault line... Continue Reading
