The basic unit of Liberalism is the individual. The individual is supposed to be an absolute subject of rights (the “Rights of Man”), without there being a question of duties which bind him to his Creator, to his superiors, or to his fellow-creatures, or, above all, of the Rights of God. Liberalism makes all the natural social hierarchies disappear; but in doing this, in the end it leaves the individual alone and without defense in regard to the crowd of which he is only an interchangeable element, and which swallows him up entirely. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 15:25 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 120), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Ripperger's Prayer of Command to protect my family, my sons, my daughter and her family, my granddaughters and their families, my great grandchildren, and everyone for whom I have responsibility from any demonic activity. – And that followed by the Monday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

They speak of a Church that evolves; they want an evolving Faith. “You must submit to the living Church, to the Church of today,” they were writing tome from Rome in the mid 70’s, as if the Church of today should not be identical to the Church of yesterday. I answered them, “Under those conditions, tomorrow it will no longer be what you are saying today!” Those people have no concept of truth or of being. They are Modernists. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 16:20 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 111), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

There, where right reason, illuminated by the Faith, sees only harmony and subordination, the deified reason hollows out abysses and raises up walls: nature without grace, material prosperity without the searching for eternal goods, the civil power separated from the ecclesiastical power, politics without God or Jesus Christ, the rights of man against the rights of God, and, finally, freedom without truth.

It is in that spirit that the Revolution happened; it was being prepared for more than two centuries already in people’s minds, as I have tried to show you. It is only at the end of the 18th century that it succeeded and bore its decisive fruits: its political fruits, due to the writings of the philosophers, the encyclopedists, and of an unimaginable activity of Freemasonry, which in a few decades had penetrated and set up cells in the whole ruling class. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 14:50 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 110), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

The Revolution took place precisely in the name of the goddess Reason, of reason deified, of the reason that sets itself up as the supreme norm of truth and falsity, of good and evil. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 15:00 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 109), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Nonetheless, the excessively nihilistic look that the Protestant casts onto himself results in a practical naturalism: by dint of depreciating nature and exalting the force of faith alone, one relegates divine grace and the supernatural order to the domain of abstractions. For the Protestants, grace does not operate a true interior renewal; baptism is not the restoring of a habitual supernatural state; it is only an act of faith in Jesus Christ, who justifies and saves.

...The result of Protestantism will be that men will attach them-selves more to the goods of this world and will forget the eternal goods. If Puritanism comes to exercise an exterior supervision over public morality, it will not impregnate men’s hearts with the truly Christian spirit, which is a supernatural spirit, called primacy of the spiritual. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 14:30 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 111), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
