so at what points do the American radTrads go full sede?

I don't have anything to say about the Avignon papacy bullshit because the far right radtrads are too fucking cowardly to declare an antipope, and consequently do not deserve my time.

it's so funny how much the radtrads hate jesuits when i know plenty of lib dominicans
ngl, i do get a kick out of how openly contemptuous "cardinal tracker" sites are of various liberal papal candidates (because these sites are almost universally managed by very right-wing catholics).

here's the "College of Cardinals Report" for Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg:

yeah, this is a complicated day for me emotionally because I hate Popes but I love it when the radtrads are upset so I just don't know how to feel now

Whenever radtrads in my feed sneer about Protestant architecture I'm like "Dude, we've been in the usual suburban Catholic worship center, give it up!"

returning to my evangelical roots and handing out Bibles to radtrads

back in the "glorydays" of postliberal Catholic twitter, you had marital debt discourse along with radTrads basically arguing against any form of feminine care

And all the radtrads chant in unison, "we're not consequentialists."

Walker Percy used to argue that there was a split coming to American Catholicism at one point between radTrads, progressives, and normie Catholics in his sci-fi Catholic novels

"Actually, on second thought, I was too harsh. I think God is actually cool with butt stuff now."

my vibe based theory is that the radtrads are functionally protestant and basically have kept the 16th to 19th century tradition of antisemitism-type protestant conspiracy theorist obsession with Jesuits alive

There certainly is talk among some in Trumpworld of how to remove Leo, with all the radtrads in it

Oh no don't let the radtrads see this, they may try to claim Luce after all.

Don't get me wrong, within the relative narrow range of acceptable opinion at Hillsdale, parts of this are contested. More Burkean conservatives and Catholic radtrads in Hillsdale's history or philosophy departments contest the central importance of vaguely libertarianish natural rights.

After the 1st sentence I was concerned that the essay would be like some things radtrads & fundies said after she died. Like I could believe WoF would damn people for being nice to the wrong people & showing cleavage. Happily suprised that the rest of the post was they can write fluff.

One thing I find interesting is how much more excited the kids are for Church since we started attending a normal parish. I see it as a sign of a healthy community rather than any specific liturgy. Just a thought, though, given how many radtrads claim the opposite.

It can be *so* beautiful when it really works. But then it doesn’t and we’ve got radtrads but they’re arguing about anime.

Very much a wacko group and very much like Opus Dei which Pope Leo also needs to take a look---its why our SCOTUS is ruling like they are in 2026----from a Vatican 2 Catholic who thinks the RadTrads are bad for the Catholic Church!!

Too little ritual and pomp for triduum, even (especially) in a tiny church of weird radtrads.
December 21, 2025 at 1:49 AM
I mean, don't radtrads get all mad when you suggest the faithful participate in the Mass?
