‘Authority is not a shield’ – Strickland’s call to reform

Recognizing problems in the Church is not enough. Renewal requires courage, sacrifice, personal conversion, and concrete action. Bishop Joseph Strickland invokes Christ’s call to St. Francis of Assisi: “Go repair my house,” and the witness of St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Thomas More, and Blessed Stanley Rother, men whose fidelity was stronger than their desire for safety or approval. Martyrdom, Strickland insists, is not a desire for death. It is a willingness to remain faithful when fidelity carries a price. Strickland applies that call to specific areas of Church life: the interpretation and implementation of the Second Vatican Council, post-conciliar […]

‘Be 100% Catholic’: Schneider and Strickland’s answer to the crisis

Bishop Athanasius Schneider calls on Catholics to be “100% Catholic” to proclaim the faith without vagueness or ambiguity. Bishop Joseph Strickland points back to traditional catechesis, the Oath Against Modernism, and the Syllabus of Errors as guides for navigating the crisis. Frank Wright highlights the stark contrast between the clarity of these bishops and the confusion that has become the norm. Modernism has replaced clear Catholic teaching with ambiguity, and elevated contemporary political causes to the level of religious belief. Pope St. Pius X condemned this decades ago. The warning has been ignored. The remedy is not innovation. It is […]
