imo this drama was set up intentionally, the SSPX is controlled opposition and kind of “fake resistance” to Vatican 2

reposting a comment of sorts:

SSPX imo is set up as false opposition (like Vigano)

The Vatican represents a false Catholicism currently [the Vatican 2 modernism]

The SSPX takes a halfway measure into a “schismatic no man’s land”, where they recognize the Vatican as Catholic and openly disobey the Vatican [usually a Catholic would either recognize and obey, or not recognize and “resist” - SSPX picks a middle contradictory position in our view]

If one by obeying the Vatican is led towards an “anti-Catholic way of life”, then it seems our logical conclusion is “sedevacantism”, or that the Vatican is not to be considered as Catholic or to be obeyed

Recap again:

Vatican leads people into an anti-Catholic modernism

SSPX leads people into an anti-Catholic “schismatic resistance to the Vatican”

I think the correct Catholic response to these therefore must be something else then (like “sedevacantism”)

I see they have kept the downvotes on this instance

(I don’t think that’s a practical move but, here we are)

“I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity.”

I find that relatable; he’s presenting himself as maybe wanting Christianity to be better and hating the status quo of what passes for “Christianity”.

However, conservatives will also rightly interpret this to mean he just identifies as Christian without following Christian teachings and with changing them in unChristian ways.

tbh I haven’t been following his politics at all so I don’t know much of the situation

mostly the neocon-dispensationalists seem to want it

from some redditalternatives comments it looks like reddit is overrun with bots

and lemmy is a thing but still probably a lot of biased leftwing stuff (besides instances like here - I haven’t been active, have more instances popped up that are decent?)

and then there’s a lot of basically vibecoded-tier forums which are gonna be small and niche

and that’s the internet for us right now or you know of other things besides what I’ve listed

drop in Republican … support

well… I think a growing number of those identifying as Catholic don’t even consider him to be Catholic or a pope so that’s kind of a moderate view

say a bunch of maga things that should be said

aggregation + curation though

aggregation: collecting together tons of stuff

curation: sifting through it

…innovative decentralized spam networks of AI-powered hyper-techno progress…

somthing random I was thinking about yesterday but we actually maybe need more “centralization” of some things… as much as I like decentralization

or at least: I don’t have time to read everyone’s newsletter, but maybe only one good collection of newsletter(s)

so, from many decentralized voices we need good aggregation of a few “curators”

$2k

inflation, greedflation, out-of-touch-with-average-consumers-flation…?

thank you, yeah I switched some of my computer configurations and thought I lost login info but actually had my HC login saved so I guess I could have been posting more, so I will maybe try to catch up on things

I was bummed, you been on there?

good luck and God bless, fren

didn’t watch but how about what are some small next steps

One thing I wanted to figure out more with cooking is how to freeze stuff because a lot of foods tend to ripen quicker than I can use them if I’m not careful

lol did you become more courteous due to the exercise?!

do you use ai to help you write or get ideas

do you have a routine for writing, like do you write for an hour every day

I would probably enjoy reading your fiction lol

unfortunately he seems to desire to create a false unity rather than truly work out disagreements

I haven’t looked in to this, but commenting on title

it strikes me as non-religious people inventing religion for themselves; i.e. they don’t believe humans uniquely have souls so they are starting to try to think of animals and machines as “conscious” like humans (which they are not)

I mean, it sounds like maybe their medical system is more messed up than that this was all that fraudulent (assuming these were overweight people prescribed the drug for losing weight)

of course I think ozempic is a gamble and fasting is a better free and accessible alternative (excepting a minority of cases of people who can’t fast due to medical reasons)
