Feria de Sevilla & Symbolic Surrender
Symbolic Surrender
Re: Woman Archbishop Gives Blessing
Disgrace. The adoption of the name Leo XIV is a strategic inversion of Leo XIII, who dogmatically condemned Anglican orders as "absolutely null and utterly void." By permitting this ceremony in the crypt of St. Peter’s Basilica, the current hierarchy facilitates a symbolic surrender at the very foundations of the Apostolic See.
Lulled by the poisons of modernism and progressivism ("they proceed to disseminate poison through the whole tree," as Pope St. Pius X warned), the flock has abandoned the vigilance of the Church Militant for a comfortable, worldly "inclusion." This total collapse of discernment betrays the Deposit of Faith for a sentimental delusion, perfectly captured in this irony:
It seems the new Leo has finally found a way to bridge the Tiber: He has replaced the “absolute nullity” of the past with a “Pace” that surpasses all understanding.

I Disagree
Re: Irish girls
As a Catholic Chaldean Priest, 100% DISAGREE. You already honor St. Patrick with the celebration of the Holy Body and Blood of Our Savior Jesus Christ on the Altar. These kind of things are not appropriate for church. You can play and dance in the Church’s Hall after Mass.

Eternal Thoughts
I've had it with the news...
"Let us always have our thoughts fixed on that which is to last eternally, without concerning ourselves with things here below, which disappear even more quickly than we ourselves." - St. Teresa of Avila
“If you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; mind the things that are above, not the things that are on earth.” - St. Paul to the Colossians 3:1-2

Conversions Seen in Perspective
Salve Maria!
Re: Guadalupe and the Flower World Prophecy
My thanks to Miss Tesa Becica for her wonderful book review. The book gives a very interesting hypothesis.
It is fascinating to contemplate the real histories of peoples, which modern historians miss or try to bury. One must wonder how all the peoples came to be after Noe left the Ark – if I remember correctly, one Indian tribe said they floated to Tierra del Fuego on an iceberg! Since everybody subscribes to the theory that we are merely super-evolved bacteria, no one bothers to really reconstruct History, à la Crombette. Our origin is whatever jungle the first hairless monkey sprang out of, not the Ark, apparently.
Reading the book review, I wondered if the Flower World Prophecies were whatever remained from the teachings of Noe and his sons, passed down over many centuries. There is, in a way, a kind of beauty in the execution of the bad performers: if they had been allowed to perform unchecked, important points of the Prophecies may have been lost; the people may not have been ready for conversion.
Contrast that seriousness to that of today. The Pope is straying from his "song" and saying we are one with heretics...

Wise Age Old Customs
Re: Is Bowing to the Priest Correct?
One can easily see the wisdom of the Church in never taking up the practice of the laity bowing to the priests, or the laity responding to the priest at mass (dialogue), or the laity is singing along with the schola, and the wisdom of not allowing women in the schola.
One can easily see it by the chaos at any service today where they are doing any or all of them. Bowing – a contest to see who bows the lowest, and some even genuflecting. Laity responding like altar servers – one louder that the other, it is so loud one can’t even think (Ditto for laity singing). Women in the choir – they take over the singing in the pews, so, relatively speaking it makes no difference if some are in the choir.
It is like in the Novus Ordo church anyone can receive communion in the hand, so what does it matter if one holds the hosts as a Eucharistic minister?
The wisdom of the Church’s age old customs is all there for anyone who has eyes to see.

Feminization of the ‘Space Race’
I have been watching, with some interest, the recent Artemis II "moonshot" journey, which received considerable coverage by the mainstream media. Although I am sure that many traditional Catholics have some definite opinions on the value of such projects, my own interest in watching the coverage was primarily to compare the public behavior of the present-day astronauts to those men who had returned from space 50 years ago.
The astronauts of the 1960s and early 70s presented themselves with a measure of dignity and professionalism which is completely lacking today. Their press conferences always had a rather dignified military "aura" about them. I have just finished watching the press conference put on by NASA to welcome the Artemis II crew home; and I observed with displeasure the constant group hugs and emotionalism expressed by these modern-day astronauts. There is a complete lack of dignitas and gravitas; it seemed more like a therapy session.
I have no doubt that the introduction of women into the engineering and science fields in general, and the space program in particular, has brought this about. These are fields that should generally be the domain of men. While I have heard that some learned nuns of the past were sometimes quite proficient in mathematics and astronomy, to mix up the sexes into these career areas seems to harden the women, and make the men soppy.
I wonder if you or your readers have any further insights into this situation.
In Maria,

This April, like each April, in Seville there was a week in which all the Seville people come out to commemorate the beginning of Spring. It is a time when the ladies dress in their characteristic colorful outfits and the men ride their horses or drive their carriages to show how dashing they are.
The festival originated as a cattle market in the 1800s but it evolved to a local folkloric event rich in color, dance, wine and conversation.
Since Tradition in Action normally praises the Organic Society, I thought you and your readers would like to watch a 9-minute documentary (in Spanish) on this interesting event in the year 2023.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
In Christ Jesus,
E.J.
