As the story reaches the english-speaking world, many seem to be under the impression that Father Edmund Waldstein is being persecuted (which he is) owing to his general support for Integralism. Actually, it’s more specific: his measured defense of the State’s right to prosecute heretics in a Catholic regime (up to and including capital punishment) was discovered in 2025, at odds with the teaching of Francis. I wrote about the whole case for Integrity Magazine yesterday, including a refresher on the traditional teaching of the Church and Pope Leo X’s bull against heresiarch Martin Luther. https://integritymagazine.org/2026/09/07/integralist-priest-fr-edmund-waldstein-persecuted-for-defending-death-penalty/

We are going to war over Bishop Sheen and I apologize in advance because it’s going to seem obnoxious; but someone must play the position of advocatus diaboli — devil’s advocate. The beatification attempt is scheduled for September 24th. No one wants to touch Sheen, the American sacred cow and there is serious money behind his cause. Elon Musk just reposted a video of him, Jack Posobiec is religiously slop-posting about him, others will join too. If you want to help this effort for the sake of Truth and so that only truly worthy men receive recognition, please consider sharing essays, pictures and videos of Sheen’s heterodoxy/heteropraxy anytime he is promoted. I will link them below for those interested. Beatification is the pathway to canonization and true Catholic saints are not merely declared to be in heaven, but their lives are deemed by the Church to exemplify heroic virtue, safe to follow and worthy of imitation. But following Bishop Sheen in word and deed will objectively imperil your soul. Stand for an unpopular truth today! ⚔️ Continued on X

“In the case of the dogmatic [constitution] of ... Leo X against Luther... where propositions were condemned collectively under different censures.. it is not lawful for any Catholic to deny these definitions are infallible.” — Cardinal Johann Franzelin, S.J. “Also the constitution of Leo X Exsurge Domine against Luther: ‘By the authority of Almighty God and the blessed apostles Peter and Paul and ours, we condemn, reprobate... all and each of the aforementioned articles or errors, as (as stated) respectively heretical or scandalous or false...., and we decree and declare that they should be considered condemned, reprobated and rejected by all the faithful of Christ of both sexes.’” — Cardinal Louis Billot, S.J. “Likewise, Leo X, condemning ‘ex cathedra’ the errors of Martin Luther, among which is the 33rd.” — Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P.

In the early and mid-20th century, the term “race-suicide” was used in America to describe a phenomenon whereby the birthrates of European immigrants and non-White peoples would overcome the native, White American population. At the time both moral and immoral measures, regrettably, were proposed to remedy this problem. Professor George Miller recounted [postcardhistory.net/2022/02/teddy-] how as early as 1901, then-Vice President Roosevelt wrote to a friend that “all the other problems before us in this country, important though they may be, are as nothing compared with the problem of the diminishing birth rate and all that it implies.” For Roosevelt he was initially most concerned with the fertility of what he considered “the white American ‘race’ or the ‘old-stock American’ as embodied by the early American settler.” That said, both then and now, “race-suicide” does pose a real and substantial threat to the racial character and unity of our country in addition to the continuation of our people, not unlike if Nigeria were to become majority-White or Japan majority-Indian. Consider the mental state and discussion of public authorities in Nigeria if their people were on the precipice of becoming a minority in their own country? What would Nigerian men be saying to their women? Perhaps to the surprise of some Catholics, moral theologians were not silent on this phenomenon; they further identified its chief cause at the time as the grave evil of contraception, which is absolutely contrary to the Natural law and the teaching of the Catholic Church. Two American Dominican theologians, Fathers McHugh and Callan, had the following to say (no. 2620) in their 1958 Moral Theology based on the principles of St. Thomas: “This vice [contraception] spreads moral degeneracy and decay from the home itself, and is rightly called race-suicide, since it depopulates and destroys the nation by the act of its own people.” In another section of their work (no. 2627), they did not hesitate to consider the effect “race-suicide” would have on a particular community, which can certainly apply to Black and Asian peoples, but also White people. During a period of “race-suicide,” they discussed a general duty by which: “Per accidens, there is sometimes a duty of marrying on account of public or private necessity. Thus, if the community is depopulated by race-suicide, the public good should move suitable persons to marry in order to assist the birth rate; for, if those are considered slackers who refuse their service or money in war time when the nation is threatened with death from without, are not those also culpable who will not assist a community threatened with extinction from within? (emphasis added)” To reverse this troubling trend of “race suicide” in America, a number of measures are absolutely necessary. It is not sufficient to oppose mass immigration, 2) support the humane deportation of all illegal aliens, along with 3) repatriating some recent arrivals. White Americans need to actually look themselves in the mirror: how much are we to blame for our own replacement in our country? As a community we have tragically embraced the contraceptive vice, even though we have been socially engineered — to a greater or lesser extent — to accept it. Just like every other community, we need to work on rooting out the vice of contraception, including its prohibition by civil law while simultaneously and positively promoting marriage within our own people. Good Black fathers do this; good Hispanic fathers do this; good Asian fathers do this; and yes, good White fathers do this also. X: https://x.com/AmericanReform_/status/2095908556763496850?s=20

Your weekend read is here! “America After 250 Years: The Subversive Character and Legacy of Our Revolution” The writings of the “Founding Fathers,” read critically, reveal how self-consciously radical the political order they inaugurated truly was Only at The Journal of American Reform.

An authority no less than Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger revealed how Gaudium et Spes took its conception of Christianity from the notorius Teilhard de Chardin, rather than focus on “complicated discussions about collegiality of Bishops, primacy of the Pope, Scriptures and Tradition.” Here is what Ratzinger had to say in his 1982 book entitled Principles of Catholic Theology: “The signal sent by Teilhard went further. In a bold vision, he included the historical movement of Christianity within the cosmic process of evolution from Alpha to Omega. This process was conceived as the Noogenesis, that is to say, the development of consciousness in the evolution of men, to form a Noosphere above the Biosphere. This means that evolution is henceforth understood as a type of technical and scientific development in which Matter and Spirit, the individual and the society constitute a global ensemble, a divine world. The conciliar constitution on the Church and the Modern World [Gaudium et spes] followed the same train of thinking. The Telhardian maxim: ‘Christianity means more progress, more of the technical’ was what encouraged the Conciliar fathers from both wealthy and poor countries to feel a more facile and concrete hope to translate and spread this notion rather than the complicated discussions about collegiality of Bishops, primacy of the Pope, Scriptures and Tradition, priests and lay people.” X 🔗

Happy feast of His Holiness Pope St. Pius X. May the watchword of his Pontificate be ours — Omnia instaurare in Christo, to “restore all things in Christ.” Ora pro nobis!

On February 22, 1910 President William Taft (Freemason) gave a tribute to America’s first president and a Freemason himself, George Washington: “Brethren, every President of the United States feels heavy upon him the burden of following George Washington and being in his place and making himself in some slight way worthy of the First President, the Father of His Country... No honor can be greater than to have a direct association with that great man, how, in every sense, was the founder of this Republic and who exhibited, as President, as man, and as Mason, all the principles of morality, of patriotism and of religion that we like to think is our highest ideal.”

“By burning the Papal Bull, Luther took the first step towards Free Thought, which burns the decrees of Reason. The Templars in Scotland, and the Jews everywhere, quickly understood the importance of the revolution begun by the German monk. The Masonic charter of Cologne, signed by the heretic Archbishop Hermann, by Melanchthon, Colligny and others, is irrefutable proof that the Masonic apron is perfectly suitable for a revolutionary bishop. This apron is not a vestment of the Christian priesthood: the Protestant bishops who wear it wear the insignia of the workers of the ‘Grand Architect of the Universe. ’” — Msgr. Leon meurin Read the full essay at The Journal of American Reform.

Great episode for those wanting the truth about Bp. Sheen rather than comforting lies or, as is often the case today, glaring omissions. He must be judged objectively and by his whole body of work and writing, before and after the Council. Bonum ex integra causa, mal ex quocumque defectu — something is good when it is good in every respect, and it is bad when it is wrong in any respect. In other words, simply highlighting the true things he said throughout his career is to miss the point. What about all the bad things? Would not a shepherd mixing truth with error be even more dangerous than one who only promotes error? Sheen’s sacred cow status has to be overcome. https://www.youtube.com/live/9LD7wa5ojLU?si=SGnlzUpXvnbbw-7j

The logical conclusion of the godless First Amendment is this abomination — all false principles eventually produce their effects. If morality is essentially linked to religion, which it is, why would equating truth and error in religion (making no distinction before the State) and giving them equal rights not produce this? The real shocking part of this story is it hasn’t happened sooner. God have mercy on America. X 🔗

By all evidence, here is Dr. E. Michael Jones denying a particular curse rests upon the unbelieving Jews — continuing to this day — as described in the Gospel of St. Matthew: “Now wait, now wait a minute — I don’t see that, I don’t see Matthew 25 as a curse if by curse you mean something that is from the outside imposed on the Jewish people either by God or a witch or something like that. That’s not there... But the Jews say his blood be on us and our children. That’s not a curse. I mean it it’s going to lead to a bad outcome. But no one’s imposing that on the Jews. The Jews are doing that to themselves. They’re not cursing themselves [sic]. That makes no sense. So, I I think the curse is — look I I never heard anybody say there was a curse on the Jews... So I grew up with all that traditional Catholicism there. I never heard that. I never heard that... It’s made up... It’s in the Koran, but that’s not our text.” @EMichaelJones1, how are you not familiar with the standard exegesis of this passage of Scripture, which is affirmed by all of Catholic tradition?
