How to be a peaceful keyboard warrior

Recently I’ve noticed my heart swell for all the poor souls falling for this silly movement of walking away from marriage. This brought me to an encounter where I unlocked a new achievement, “peaceful keyboard warrior”.
Well that’s weird.

    Hi Ryan! I just have a few questions for you. Isn't the SSPX borderline schismatic if not actually so? Why would you choose to risk that for your family (especially when the FSSP is also available)? On another note, did Jesus not say to Peter that 'whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven'? How can you understand, then, the authority of the papacy without understanding that anything the Church allows, God allows. And the Church, the Papacy, will figure itself out since the Pope himself is in constant communication with God, and God has entrusted His Church to him. Do you not trust that God would not let his Church go astray? I understand seeing the beauty and holiness in Tradition, and Traditional churches, but how can you justify schism. Ever. I can't understand it. FSSP is a valid choice, and then you remain under the One, True, Catholic and Apostolic Church Jesus instituted. Then, you can simply lean back and trust that Jesus will figure everything out. That is what we are meant to do as his children, isn't it? Hope you could clear some of this up for me, thanks

      @@jennamaria2485 that was five questions. And I find the comment about risking my family to be insulting and ignorant and I don’t much care for it, which leads me to suspect that you had no intention of wanting me to “clear things up” for you. But I’ll play along for the moment. There is no such thing as borderline schismatic. You either are or you are not. You cannot be in schism if you seek permissions from and receive said permissions from the Vatican. The sspx does not deny the authority of Rome. The excommunications were deemed invalid, making all punishments erroneous. Speaking of erroneous, authority can become erroneous if authority is abrogated when one undermines the trust of authority. “But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.” The Church has had heretical Popes in the past. It wasn’t fixed by sitting on laurels of apathy. If I missed anything, it’s because you wrote too much. Come on, really? The sspx is the problem here? Not enough pachamama’s, suppression of the liturgy, you can reach God from other religions or blessing same sex couples? Listen, if you don’t know that there is a crisis in the Church then I can’t help you. Either folks are smart enough to listen to the what the sspx has to say, or they listen to folks who are not in the society tell them what to think…. Or they love this synodal heretic crap. Pray for the Church, pray for the Popes holy intentions, God bless.

    It's also interesting that St. Faustina wrote this on the day Pope Francis was born: December 17, [1936]. I have offered this day for priests. I have suffered more today than ever before, both interiorly and exteriorly. I did not know it was possible to suffer so much in one day. I tried to make a Holy Hour, in the course of which my spirit had a taste of the bitterness of the Garden of Gethsemane. I am fighting alone, supported by His arm, against all the difficulties that face me like unassailable walls. But I trust in the power of His name and I fear nothing. - Diary of St. Faustina, 823 God bless you and your family! Thank you for your service!

      I wouldn’t recommend anyone who concludes that any disagreements are schismatic. Even to the point of claiming, praying for the popes conversion, makes someone a Protestant. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but I prefer to stay away from the clocks that are condescending and gas light fellow Catholics into sub groups of bad guys vs good guys. This seems to be his rule over the exception. And yes, I listened to him. I’ve listened to him say Bishop Strickland is a sedevacantist, I’ve listened to him defend Cardinal Fernandez perverted sexual fantasy books, I’ve listened to him purposely take other writers out of context and make wild accusations of schism. If you like him, like him for the right reasons. Catholic TH-camrs are human and capable of error because we are flawed since Eden. Lofton is no different, and his errors and lack of charity illustrate how much error he is in. At the end of the day, we are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not the Father, Son and Michael Loftin. Or Pope Francis, Taylor Marshal, Bishop Barron, Archbishop Lefebvre, Scott Hann. God gave us his Church for proper worship and salvation. The Church is tradition, scripture and magisterium, a trinity if you will. If any one of those goes missing from the church, we no longer have a three legged stool. Choose, but choose wisely.

The world has corrupted the hearts and minds of so many. I recommend staying away from norvus ordo liturgies. They too often leave room for scandal and heartbreak. If you can, find a parish that has the traditional liturgy. FSSP, SSPX, ICKSP.... there are others. It is our heritage and birthright as Catholics to be called to the sacrifice and approach our King reverently on our knees in adoration of his divinity. To be asked to treat his body like a snack is, in my mind, akin to the heresy of indifference. Thanks again for watching. Sorry these early videos are such low quality; I plan to refilm them soon.
