About this user
I'm a Traditionalist Catholic Christian(meaning Latin-Rite, not sedevacantist). Christ is the only truth and hope for humanity. I believe society needs to return back to traditional models and standards. Politically I'm a paleo-conservative and constitutionalist. I am against abortion, contraception, no-fault divorce and gay marriage since they harm marriage, the sanctity of life, and weaken its stabilizing factor. I believe in the biblical role model of marriage, with the husband as head and wife as helpmeet. I believe women should be meek, quiet, submissive, chaste, keepers at home, and modest. Men should be loving to their wives, support them, care for them, and not become bitter against them. I believe the biggest reason why the divorce rate is so high in the western world is because this simply fact is not being adhered too. Wives will not submit to their husbands as head and husbands in turn will not lead and take care of their families. Abortion must be made illegal and no-fault divorce. I am not fully against evolution, however I don't believe we came from apes since humans have free-will and self-conscious. However I am not against the theory of an old earth or a slowly evolving system. Either way I leave the arguments between young earth creationists and evolutionists in the hands of God. And either way abiogenesis is the main factor in the study of creation and origins, not evolution. Hence I am against atheists who try to use evolution to disprove God. If evolution is true it is simply because of God's guiding hand. I am not against science and I believe science in the long run has been a great thing for humanity, especially when its related to medicine and technology. However I am against people who try to use science to disprove God. If anything the extreme complexities of science more point to God than anything.
Catholic Church is first and true Church and bride of Christ. I simply cannot put my faith in reformers who came so long long after. I;d much rather take the words of the apostles and the apostles students and eyewitnesses themselves. Which can be summed up from the apostolic writing of St. Irenaeus and St. Cyprian in 180 AD who wrote
"Since, however, it would be very tedious, in such a volume as this, to reckon up the successions of all the Churches, we do put to confusion all those who, in whatever manner, whether by an evil self-pleasing, by vainglory, or by blindness and perverse opinion, assemble in unauthorized meetings; [we do this, I say,] by indicating that tradition derived from the apostles, of the very great, the very ancient, and universally known Church founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul; as also [by pointing out] the faith preached to men, which comes down to our time by means of the successions of the bishops. For it is a matter of necessity that every Church should agree with this Church, on account of its pre- eminent authority, that is, the faithful everywhere, inasmuch as the apostolical tradition has been preserved continuously by those [faithful men] who exist everywhere." Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3:3:2 (A.D. 180).
"And he says to him again after the resurrection, 'Feed my sheep.' It is on him that he builds the Church, and to him that he entrusts the sheep to feed. And although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single Chair, thus establishing by his own authority the source and hallmark of the (Church's) oneness. No doubt the others were all that Peter was, but a primacy is given to Peter, and it is (thus) made clear that there is but one flock which is to be fed by all the apostles in common accord. If a man does not hold fast to this oneness of Peter, does he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he deserts the Chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, has he still confidence that he is in the Church? This unity firmly should we hold and maintain, especially we bishops, presiding in the Church, in order that we may approve the episcopate itself to be the one and undivided." Cyprian, The Unity of the Church 4-5 (A.D. 251-256).
"You cannot deny that you know that in the city of Rome the Chair was first conferred on Peter, in which the prince of all the Apostles, Peter, sat...in which Chair unity should be preserved by all, so that he should now be a schismatic and a sinner who should set up another Chair against that unique one." Optatus of Mileve, The Schism of Donatists, 2:2-3 (c. A.D. 367).
As I follow no leader save Christ, so I communicate with none but your blessedness, that is with the chair of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the church is built! This is the house where alone the paschal lamb can be rightly eaten. This is the ark of Noah, and he who is not found in it shall perish when the flood prevails." Jerome, To Pope Damasus, Epistle 15:1-2 (A.D. 375).
