A friend of mine with the Resistance in Melbourne
went to the SSPX Corpus Christi Church in Tynong to leave a letter in
the foyer for a friend still attending. My friend has not attended Mass with the SSPX for well over 2 years.
To her horror, on the doors to the direct entrance of the Church, she saw this poster of a family posing with Pope Francis.
The Title: Their Sunday best to honour Christ's Vicar, Will my family do less for Christ Himself?
This poster was put up only this week, so the majority of parishioners would not have even seen it yet.
I went to the Church today to see it for myself and I couldn't believe it.
Now if this is meant to be a promotion for 'modesty' at Tynong, this has got to be another sick SSPX joke.
No priest has seriously spoken of modesty at Tynong
for years. In my 10 years whilst I attended there, I never once heard
any priest say that women should not be wearing pants. One priest
even went so far to say during a catechism class, that he didn't agree
with Bishop Williamson on his severe stance on modesty.
I'd say 80% of the women attending Mass at Tynong wear pants on a full time basis (except for Sunday Mass of course); here they may wear a skirt, but the skirts get higher and higher and tighter.
I'd say 80% of the women attending Mass at Tynong wear pants on a full time basis (except for Sunday Mass of course); here they may wear a skirt, but the skirts get higher and higher and tighter.
This is another very obvious show of the terrible SSPX Liberal slide at Tynong, Australia.
But how many attending Mass this Sunday will actually take any notice?
This is more like another promotion of Pope Francis,
especially after the fairly recent visit of Bishop Fellay to Tynong
back in late August this year, when in his conference, he told the
gullible faithful that the acceptance of the personal prelature was not
that bad and that nothing was going to change for them. By the way,
there were three Novus Ordo priests attending this conference, and
Bishop Fellay found the time to have lunch with them as well.
The sheep are seriously asleep here and the wolves
in sheep clothing are continuing with the dangerous deception of the
faithful.
I feel sorry for these people. Some of my family are included.
It seems that the social calendar is more important
than the salvation of souls for these priests. A number of times now,
the very regular Thursday evening Mass with Rosary and Benediction has
been cancelled due to varying circumstances. One was because they held a
bbq for visiting SSPX students from New Zealand on a Thursday evening,
so Mass was cancelled.
I'm not sure the reason for the second occasion; a
very early Mass was held on the Thursday morning and there was no Mass
that evening. But
two priests had time to attend a luncheon for my mother at a restaurant
not far away from Tynong on this particular Thursday. Yes,
it is school holidays, but with five (Yes 5!) priests at Tynong, surely
they could continue with the usual evening Thursday Mass. [I no longer
support the SSPX in any way, and have not attended Mass there for over 2
years].
This Thursday evening SSPX Mass has been held
especially for priestly vocations and other important intentions every
week for years. It has also been so poorly attended over these years,
and with well over 1000 people attending Mass on a Sunday (mainly at the
early 8am Mass so they can get in early and get out), you'd expect Mass
attendance during the week a bit better.

Interview by Alex Jones in 2000 with Air Force Intelligence/ CIA agent, Terry Reid. The material in this video has withstood the test of time. Though the video is 18+ minutes, the real content ends at the 14 minute mark.
B-t-W, this video just reminds me how much I despise Oliver North.
Needless to say, George HW Bush, the patriarch of the traitorous Bush
Cabal and Bill "Rockefeller" Clinton are such buddies and one wonders
why GHW Bush is endorsing Hillary Clinton.
If one wonders why I call Bush and his family traitorous, just read
the pdf below. It is the best selling non-fiction from the late 90s
titled, George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography. I wonder why the Bush crime syndicate never sued Tarpley and Chiatkin for defamation? Hmmm.http://www.federaljack.com/ebooks/THE%20UNAUTHORIZED%20BIO%20OF%20GEORGE%20BUSH%20SR..pdf

Hello Eric thank you for all what you are doing here at tradcatnight .
Could you direct me in the right direction in finding a valid catholic
church in Oklahoma City.
Thank you so much David B
=======================
Now well, yesterday was the feast of Our lady of La Sallette... I'm
sad about Padre Gabriel Amorth. I wanted to meet him! he was not old to
die!... I knew that he died on Thursday! I was not expecting this bad
news!
Everything that he said in an interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlNx33EY19U : he's describing many attitudes that priests and bishops from my country made against me. Now, I know this priests and bishops are contaminated; they have bad things, because they are bad, so bad! If I would have understood or seen this before I would never let been attacked by them. You cannot imagine how sad I am.
Sincerely, D.

I feel his sense of the extreme danger we all are facing, as I'm sure
that so many of the viewers are relating to the caller's dismay and
frustration. on the other hand, I do understand the predicament and
tough position relating to Dr. Tracy stance, it's very clear that he is
like many other speakers are avoiding the Jew & Zionist words for the
fear of their livelihoods and even perhaps their own lives if they spoke
openly and honestly without restrain. It's no secret that many others
before, who dared and spoke frankly without beating around the bushes
ended up losing the positions, faced tremendous and endless hardship or
even paid with their lives. I thank Dr. Tracy for speaking out and I
wish he was in a position to be more direct and clear, but it's very
harsh to ask few to carry all the burden on their shoulders alone, while
the masses is so oblivious without any clue, or don't give a damn. The
Caller deserve a big "Thank You" as well for his pin pointing and clear
understanding of the Sad and rapidly deteriorating world situation.

Hi there,
Dear TCK:
I'm glad Fr. Kramer is continuing to expose Salza and Siscoe's errors on TCK. It is obvious that these two laymen are obstinately opposed to the Church's teachings on heresy and the papacy. Do they really need to be told over and over again that a pope must be Catholic? Or do they agree with their friend Chris Ferrara that a true pope can also be "anti-Catholic" or a "font of error"? They have gone way too far. I have to say that the neo-SSPX have lost their credibility by allowing these amateurs-gone-wild to be their spokesmen.
I'll be eagerly following Fr. Kramer on TCK because what he's teaching is much needed, and appreciated, sound Catholic doctrine. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely, Marny B.

Hi there,
I wanted to take just a moment to thank you for the information you
bring to us on your channel. I don't mean to bother you, but I really
felt I needed to let you know that it is SUPER hard to hear your videos
(and I do have good hearing lol). I have to max out my sound and even
then, you are super quiet. I have had to stop watching several of your
great videos because I just couldn't hear them. Your guests can be heard
most of the time, very well, but your voice is so quiet.
I don't mean to pick at you or criticize at all, I truly appreciate your videos and would like to be able to hear them.
Thanks again for all you do - you are very reasonable and realistic and I appreciate that tremendously.
Thanks again,
Sheri
TCK: The low volume is due to poor connections on skype which is most of the time. Simply turn the volume up all the way on the youtube link and on your coputer. If I can hear it so can you:)

Dear Eric,
Please share your thoughts on the apparitions in Garabandal, Spain
in the 60s. I was dubious then I read Padre Pio absolutely believed it.
But still...??
Thank you and may Our Blessed Mother keep you in her loving care.

Born That Way? A False Hypothesis
(full text below - 821 words)
A
recently released literature review has created a buzz. Among the
issues attracting attention in the paper is the claim that genetics is
not the sole determinant of sexual orientation. Does this make the “born
that way” hypothesis false? In this article, Dr. Joseph J. Horton
details the study and examines how the “born that way hypothesis is
important to people on all sides.”

Born That Way? A False Hypothesis
by Dr. Joseph J. Horton
Literature reviews are a common thing in
the world of academic research. They often involve esoteric topics
confined to a narrow universe of scholarly interest. Few literature
reviews, however, have generated as much controversy as the recently published paper “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological and Social Sciences,” by Lawrence Mayer and Paul McHugh.
Among the issues attracting attention in
the Mayer-McHugh paper is the claim that the causes of sexual
orientation are poorly understood, but—most importantly—that genetics is
not the sole determinant of sexual orientation. The hypothesis that
those who have lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) orientations were born
that way is found to be inconsistent with the data. Mayer and McHugh
write:
There is virtually no evidence that anyone, gay or straight, is “born
that way” if that means their sexual orientation was genetically
determined. But there is some evidence from the twin studies that
certain genetic profiles probably increase the likelihood the person
later identifies as gay or engages in same-sex sexual behavior.
Mayer and McHugh reviewed research on
potential environmental factors, such as abuse, but did not find the
evidence convincing for any specific environmental factor. They suggest
additional research on potential environmental influences.
A team led by J. Michael Bailey published a literature review on this topic
at about the same time that Mayer and McHugh published theirs. At times
making different inferences than Mayer and McHugh, particularly when
the research evidence is ambiguous, Bailey et al. also conclude that
genetics is not the most important causal factor for sexual orientation:
Based on the
evidence from twin studies, we believe that we can already provide a
qualified answer to the question “Is sexual orientation genetic?” That
answer is: “Probably somewhat genetic, but not mostly so.”
Both of these research teams reached the
same conclusion about the role of genetics in the development of sexual
orientation by reviewing studies of twin siblings. With twin studies we
want to know the concordance rate: If one member of a twin pair has a
same-sex orientation, what is the probability that the other twin also
has a same-sex orientation? Identical (monozygotic) twins share all of
their genes in common. If sexual orientation is entirely due to
genetics, or perhaps a combination of genetics and prenatal environment,
then the concordance rate for identical twins would be one, or quite
close to one. Fraternal (dizygotic) twins have the same number of genes
in common as any two, non-identical siblings. If the concordance rate
for identical twins is greater than that of fraternal twins, then
clearly genetics plays a role. When considering studies that used the
best sampling methods, Bailey and his colleagues found an average
concordance rate for identical twins of .24 and .15 for fraternal twins.
Yes, genetics plays a role in the development of sexual orientation,
but the environment plays a larger role.
Those who desire a rigorous understanding
of the science of sexual orientation should read both of the recent
literature reviews. Unlike the data on the role of genetics, the data on
environmental factors is often open to more than one interpretation, so
considering multiple perspectives is helpful.
Epigenetics helps explain why the
born-that-way hypothesis is false even though genes play a role. The
epigenome affects the expression of genes. While our genome is
relatively static, our epigenome is influenced by the environment. Thus
some identical twins come to look different, behave differently, and
have differing risk for psychological disorders. Each twin has different
environmental experiences. The differing epigenomes result in different
expressions of their common genes. Even if a “gay gene” exists, the
born-that-way hypothesis would likely be false because interactions with
the environment could affect the expression of the gay gene.
The born-that-way hypothesis is important
to people on all sides. Members of the LGB community and their allies
often believe that a stronger case can be made for societal embrace of
the LGB lifestyle if sexual orientation is caused by genetics.
Supporters of traditional morality may also feel more comfortable
disapproving of behavior when they believe the behavior does not have a
biological foundation.
All complex human behavior has a biological
foundation. For example, sociobiology suggests that males are hard
wired with a propensity to mate with many partners. Even if males are
born this way and it is 100 percent due to biology, it does not follow
that mating with many partners is moral. The degree to which any
behavior is genetically based has no bearing on its morality, nor its
benefit to society. We have considerable control over our biological
predispositions; civilization would not be possible otherwise.
The nature vs. nurture question has been,
in a sense, settled; the answer is (to some degree) a matter of both.
Because the answer involves both, those who argue for the virtue, or
lack thereof, of any behavior need to always consider legal, societal,
or religious claims rather than strictly biological claims.
