“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Si vis pacem, para bellum?
Happy Thanksgiving to Father Z and all readers.
Hmmm…. Google Translate renders that, with one manual manipulation of text, as:
Si vis iustitiae ire ad Ecclesiam
Anent to your rider, “…if you want peace….”
…. if one really wants peace: Si vis pacem, para bellum. Which gets me thinking (yes, dangerous territory — just ask my wife!) … Perhaps a “parabellum” could be equivalent to the “biretta/beretta” in that you are preparing for war on the Evil one. I suppose you could likewise employ the Colt “peacemaker” … but that would be a parapacem, n’est-ce pas?

Happy Thanksgiving!

With all respect, all of the slogans presented herein are inadequate; really, ineffective. I make no apologies for my commitment–my penchant, and deep-felt love–for the old mass.
If you want peace and Justice in the world save Catholic Tradition. I mean that with all my heart.
I’ll present a syllogism to prove my point:
God is perfect love preserved in the Catholic faith
The TLM preserves the Sacrifice of Christ perfectly
Therefore one fulfills one’s Catholic duty at a TLM
True, justice does not seem to be the priority is once was.
Michael, sadly, I think your syllogism fails.
You would need to add an “only” to the beginning of your second premise and your first premise implies that God’s perfect love is reliant upon the Catholic faith, whereas I think it is the other way round.
Justice is not merely a thing, it is a Attribute of God, Who is All Just. One cannot have Justice without a God-centered society. One cannot have a God-centered society without the One, Holy, Catholic Church.
Not so, frjim4321,
This very weekend we are seeing an historic instance of justice take place in front of our very eyes.
I always thought the old slogan was, “If you want peace, prepare for war.”
Or maybe it was, “In times of peace, prepare for war”?
The meaning being, that you’re going to have to fight for true peace because many obstacles lie ahead of you or rather, in peaceful times, do not take peace for granted, you have to work to keep it lasting…
