Disputable Strategy
TIA,
I’m Going Novus Ordo!
I have a theory that one of the reasons so many 3rd generation trad children are leaving Tradition is because they have been too insulated from the frankenchurch, and this in turn causes them to wonder if things are really as bad as mom and dad say.
Therefore, in order that their knowledge of the conciliar religion not be too conceptual, and without any experience of it, sometime in the next month after Mass, we’re going to take a field trip to the Novus Ordo.
Yup. We’re going to hit one of the horrific ones (gay mass, healing mass, children’s mass, charismatic mass, or rapping/rock mass), kick back in the last row, and I’ll provide witty play-by-play commentary (which should resemble something along the lines of Mystery Science Theatre 2000).
I’m hopeful I’ll be able to instill a greater sense of fraud and revulsion in them, and thereby increase their love of Tradition. And the couple older teens I will take to a “pious” Novus Ordo, and explain why it is still not acceptable/permissible.
Hopefully this will help vaccinate them against conciliarism. Later, I’ll get them their booster shot by taking them to an Indult.
Hopefully, they won’t get PTSD.

Weather Engineering Revealed
Dear TIA,
We all have heard people attributing to the Deep State the manipulation of the weather for this or that purpose. Often the “proof” is given by pointing out to the sky and showing the trails of airplanes. This “evidence” has always found me skeptic, because the airplanes’ jet leaving the engines at high temperatures necessarily cause vaporization in contact with a very cold atmosphere. This is my explanation for the “chem trails.”
But now, in this video, a reporter went to Davos and asked several heads of companies who actually throw a lot of chemical material in the air under the pretext that by doing this they will cool the atmosphere and counter “global warming.” These businessmen answered and affirmed quite positively that they do it.
So here we have a first-class-evidence that some people are consciously engineering our weather. They are not the airplanes trails – one of the experts in this video affirms it clearly – but are planes that throw chemical material in great quantity to alter the air when we are not looking at the sky.
From here some questions come:

From here some questions come:
- Are not other weather changes – like the storms on the US East Coast right now – also engineered by similar processes?
- Is it only to influence the weather that those materials are being launched into the air or are they also able to alter man’s health?
- Why the government, which should be accountable for these actions, is not transparent and reveals to the American people what these airplanes are doing?
- Are only airplanes working to alter the weather or are there also powerful machines that do the same?

Triumph of the Church, Other Versions
Good evening TIA,
Regarding the “Triumph of the Church” painting
These kinds of things fascinate me, partly because they are so politically incorrect in these post-Vatican II times, so I did a little research.
There are a remarkable number of engravings, etchings and paintings along these lines, from the early 17th century onwards, it seems. A very similar one was auctioned last year here
The page indicates a sale price of over half a million Euros! But they may have made a typographical error, since the expected price was only 50-60 thousand.
I copied the image so that I could read the captions better:
The block of stone at the bottom is not being carried by those under it, rather it has crushed them: the inscription reads (translated from the Spanish): “ Pontius Pilate and other prefects who, by order of the emperors, killed the Christians, die miserably”.
The prototype may be this one by Thomassin in 1602, here
The resolution is insufficient to read the detailed narrations here, but I am sure they would be very interesting!
Your correspondent (S.B.) may be interested to see these links.
God bless,
T.B., New Zealand

I would invite K.S., who mentioned Fr. Ripperger's series on modesty, to read some of your articles on dress as it concerns purity. Watching the video titled "Modesty: Decorum", I was quite shocked to hear Fr. Ripperger enter into a sort of "pants apologetics". In it he affirms that it is not sinful for women to wear pants, only "less perfect. "
He bases this mainly on these points: that the custom has changed for what women wear, and that women's pants are cut differently than are men's pants. He goes on to state that those of us who claim it is in fact a sin for women to wear pants, are simply misinterpreting Deuteronomy (referencing a work of Cardinal Siri). Pants are not sinful to wear, he claims, unless they reveal "too much" of the woman's form...
Fr. Ripperger advises against the wearing of pants on the grounds that it is not right for the female psychology – a valid point – but the danger of such dress to the purity of male onlookers is much more salient.
Those are his points as I understand them. See for yourself, at mark 12:12 of the video.
In Maria,
D.C.
