“Bryan” is seeking donations for unspecified “Carmelite monks” …
“An Islamist with a documented terrorism history is released, attacks a Pride event, and the institutional left pivots immediately to protect the ideology and the migration system that enabled him.
“The same voices that lecture endlessly about "queer safety" suddenly discover that naming the ideology is the real danger. "Queers for Palestine" marched in solidarity with the very ideology that produces these attackers, only for leftists to blame conservatives, GB News, or "whiteness" once the van hit the crowd.”

The comment section under Al Jazeera's Facebook coverage of the Berlin Pride attack has laid bare a reality Western elites still refuse to face.
Hundreds of users with Arab and Muslim names flooded the post with open celebration of the Islamist vehicle-ramming that killed one woman and injured 29 others.
Laughing emojis made up roughly a third of the reactions. Comments praising the attacker with "Alhamdulillah," "Jihad," and "Thank God" stacked up without shame.

“But keep the missals and the ornaments, because the Mass of all time will return!
- St. Josemaría Escrivá
« The modernist system, more precisely the modernist apparatus and procedures, offer the pope an entirely new occasion to sin, a possibility of evading his mission that has never before been proposed to him. […] There followed this destructive consequence: the apostolic Tradition in matters of doctrine, morals, and worship has been neutralized, although not killed, without the pope, officially and openly, having needed to renounce the whole Tradition and thus proclaim apostasy. […]
“The pope has never said, has never needed to say: ‘everything that was taught, everything that was done up to Vatican II, all the doctrine and all the worship prior to Vatican II, I strike with anathema.’ Yet the result is before our eyes… To reach where we are, it sufficed that the pope, without taking measures that would strike the Church’s prior tradition, allowed modernism to proceed. »
- Father Roger-Thomas Calmel, O.P. (1914-1975)
It’s like the conversation between More and Richard Rich, who doesn’t want to be a teacher, in “A Man for All Seasons”, “because nobody will know.”
He’s performative. He wants a job, a vocation, a life that will draw attention and acclaim. Not a life pursuing truth or beauty or goodness for its own sake.
He’s superficial.
He wants to be the Lord Chancellor of England. Like More. Then people will know who he is. The right kind of people. Lots of people. That’s where the action is. It’s monetizable. People will read the blogs, buy the books, open their wallets for you, if you’re known. You’ll be invited to all the right parties.
More’s answer: “God will know. Your students will know. You will know.”
That’s what separates the men from the boys. When, as More counseled, it’s enough that God knows. When the public gaze, monetization and the obsession with the externals and the superficial take a distant last place in spiritual priorities.
For the worldly, for the performative, the excuse for talking a good game without following through, it’s always, “but nobody will know.”
For those who seek out the TLM, who turn away from the world together with the priest at Mass,“God will know.”
Horizontal vs vertical. Choose.
