What the hell is a yeti? Oh, a Himalayan Big-Foot. How did our Nepali Sasquatch wander over into the Rockies? Gives new meaning to the term Ape Church.
"Please pray for the Archdiocese of Denver in this time of Yeti Vacante that the Loch Nessorcism helps them through the Reform of the Deform and the consequent reefer madness and get the imaginary fictional character in charge of formation that they need."
With an ex-seminarian in the family, we can firmly attest to the weird, effeminate frat house culture described here. Any combination of maturity, Trad leanings and sincere piety will earn a young man an unsat evaluation and a seat by the door.
I am without words. However, given the near demonic homosexual priests and seminarians I once had as classmates years ago, I am not surprised. But I am feeling very depressed having to read about this. Certainly, none of these priests or seminarians will have valid Orders. The Novus Ordo is way beyond repair. This is where the heresies of Vatican II get you. And yet the Archbishop of Denver allows this to happen without any consequences. Unbelievable.
Rumor has it that the blindfolded, pajama clad seminarians being led to a 'surprise' were very, very relieved they were facing just a yeti and a blood oath.... Lol
These are the kinds of stories I think about when people say things to the tune of, "Cheer up! The new, young seminarians are so much more traditional!"
But, if a seminary gatekeeper finds out a seminarian has a loyalty to God that competes with loyalty to the revolution, they are out. It doesn't matter if there are no seminarians, that would be an acceptable alternative to a traditional church.
It runs perfectly parallel to the particular kind of obedience demanded of the pew sitters: a personal loyalty cut off from God, truth, reason, and sensible reality. In other words, the exact same species of obedience demanded by false religions. An obedience that would never lead you into the Catholic Faith to begin with.
This is not a positive trajectory.
I hope everyone is catechizing their children at home in earnest. Things probably won't turn around in their lifetime.
Your third paragraph, very well said. I was just pondering this morning, what exactly is expected of us in the call to obedience. Surely there must be a difference between being obedient and being a walking zombie.
That seems to be one of the opportunities embedded in this moment: to clarify the various species of obedience and identify which one we should be practicing. I think that would be a truly edifying for the faithful.
"These are the kinds of stories I think about when people say things to the tune of, "Cheer up! The new, young seminarians are so much more traditional!""
That's exactly what I was thinking. It's been parroted so often, I thought there might be some truth in it. So who's been telling porkies?...and why are so many Catholic outlets who have access to the kind of insider information most of us don't, pushing it?
Nice to know the man who will be alter Christus for you at your parish someday has, as a part of his formation, participated in a heretical ritual that in other centuries would have had him excommunicated.
Nah. We're not changing doctrine. We're being pastoral.
There's nothing wrong with the ritual. Men used to have fraternal organizations and bonding rituals. It's like snipe hunting or the wilderness survival overnighter in what used to be called Boy Scouts of America. There's a ritual with an inside joke, and year after year the boys who have been through it look for the new boys being initiated.
We used to have this stuff as a normal life of men/boys. It's estimated that 1/3 of all men in America belonged to fraternal organizations that had rituals like this (not limited to Freemasonry). Experience of these rituals is just limited since feminists sought to gut all men-only spaces, and Freemasons were the only ones who said, "no" to the gutting.
This is a pushback against allowing female altar servers, and it's being crushed by women of both sexes.
As one commentator over at The Pillar declared "Truely Abominable!" This fiasco seems to require another chapter in your valuable series on the occult infiltrating traditional Catholic life. At least the culprits in the Colorado snow were not quoting Valentin Tomberg as they scattered the bear blood.
There are undercurrents like this in a lot of places. I've run into accounts of lesser versions of this at Catholic colleges, even good ones. I don't think there always consciously trying to be pagan, etc., but I think it's scandalous even if it was done in jest. Needs to stop.
Immaturity is a gateway for pagan/demonic infiltration.
When we don't have continuity with tradition and no longer emphasize a sacramental life and traditional rites of passage, we do cargo cult-esque fake alternatives...
Sour grapes I didn’t respond to him apparently. Then publicly lying saying I’m a grifter when I make no money from my writing. He has still never retracted or apologized.
It probably could have been even worse to engage further with him. Seems dangerous to engage with mainstream media now, Catholic or otherwise, as their own goals seem to be character destruction for clicks.
Gawd, this makes me so mad. If it wasn't for the Eucharist I don't think I would ever bother to go to mass (lower-case "m") but would read from my 1962 missal instead. One wonders what the hella they're churning out of these seminaries these days. Are there any good seminaries out there?
From what I understand, this story came from The Pillar. And from what I also understand, this happened about a year ago. And I am wondering- why did nobody hear anything about this- why did it not appear on somebody's radar? After all, there a lot of Clickbaiters out there who salivate over stories like this, and the Archdiocese of Denver and the Seminary managed to keep it off the News. That's a stretch. Are there no secretaries with loose lips in the Rockies? Are there no pubs where the chatter spills onto Social Media? Is Colorado full of celibate servites who don't chatter?
All that notwithstanding, if this episode is real, it does reveal a lot about the calibre of semiinarians. How many were at the camp? Twelve? Twenty? And only one refused to be spattered in what he told was bear blood- we can only hope it was bear blood, or something equally innocuous- and then scream at the top of his lungs?
It also reveals that the average seminarian has no grounding in eschatology, demonology, moral theology, sacramental knowledge, or just good old fashioned horse sense.
I guess it is not hard to understand why the current crop of priests- even Traditional ones- are full of order-takers, sellouts, worldlings, gourmands, and scoundrels.
...of course, the reactions of the rector, the chancellor, and the bishop... Par for the course.
When are people going to wake up and realize the Conciliar Church is full of Satanic Pederasts, their fellow Travelers, Useful Idiots, and the Galactically Dimwitted?
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope.
I think the fact that nobody (that I've read yet) is bothering to question whether it's a true story, may reveal a lot more about the known state of the N.O. than any proof that it really happened!
That is my point exactly. The Pillar Publishes a sensational story, and Trad Inc just jumps all over it like a Pack of Timber Wolves on Bloody Red Meat. (No offences to the Brits out there.) There were allegedly over a dozen people involved. No attempt by the Pillar or any of Trad Inc to independently verify the story. It is not as if the Conciliar Church is enough of a hot steaming mess that we have to reach to the questionable and unverifiable to make the point that we have monumental problems. We can see the Liturgical Abuses and Over-The-Top "ecclesiology" on a daily basis.
We don't need to be contributing to the Dumpster Fire.
My take on this is that Anthony Stein and the gang are just lazy and looking for clickbait. I don't think Chris Jackson wants to become a member of that club.
The idea that this was "demonic" is hilarious. Fr. Ripperger puts out good stuff, but most of his listeners are retarded and completely sensationalize his message.
Fr Ripperberger disappoints me on several counts. One is his insistence the average person cannot possibly make an act of perfect contrition. Second is that he is constantly conflating Our Lady of Fatima with Akita, and even prefers to talk about the "message of Akita", which I find extremely dubious. Third is his insistence that we must "stay in the church" and act as though we have a pope happily reigning. Fourth is his absolute aversion to talking about anything beyond crisis lite, even going so far as to claim that canon law prevents him from criticizing the pope or the canonical process. Fifth is his mis-charatcerizations of demonic activity, especially as regards sins against purity.
What the hell is a yeti? Oh, a Himalayan Big-Foot. How did our Nepali Sasquatch wander over into the Rockies? Gives new meaning to the term Ape Church.
Hilarious!
Here in the Everglades we have a mythical monster named “The Skunk Ape”!!
Well, trust the Post Conciliar Synodal Lurch to coin a new abomination of desolation: Yetivacantism.
Will they now convene a Yeticam Council?
And will they invoke the Hermeneutic of Futility?
"Please pray for the Archdiocese of Denver in this time of Yeti Vacante that the Loch Nessorcism helps them through the Reform of the Deform and the consequent reefer madness and get the imaginary fictional character in charge of formation that they need."
Yeti Vacante Went to Rome.
I suspect Pope Bob will produce a new Yeti mass.

Wow, just wow.... I have no other words.
i enjoyed the humor of this great article! thank you!
Rumor has it that the blindfolded, pajama clad seminarians being led to a 'surprise' were very, very relieved they were facing just a yeti and a blood oath.... Lol
But seriously, how far the Church has fallen.
🤣 I’m sure they were! 😅😂
Butt, seriously?
The only reason seminarians should get out of bed in the middle of the night is to go spend time with Our Eucharistic Lord.
It is more than likely there is no Eucharistic Lord remaining in the Novus Ordo due to invalid orders.

What the literal hell. What. The. Literal. Hell. I'd hoped that they left demonic seminary malformation back in the 1970s, but clearly not.
Nice to know the man who will be alter Christus for you at your parish someday has, as a part of his formation, participated in a heretical ritual that in other centuries would have had him excommunicated.
Nah. We're not changing doctrine. We're being pastoral.
Excommunicated? How about BURNED AT THE STAKE for sorcery?

He was probably making a pun. As in the abominable snowman, another term for Yeti. 😅
Reefer Madness meets the Abominable Showman 5,000 feet in the air.

Jonathan Liedl's point here is good: https://x.com/JLLiedl/status/1945495446387892713
When we don't have continuity with tradition and no longer emphasize a sacramental life and traditional rites of passage, we do cargo cult-esque fake alternatives...
Liedl is a liar who bears false witness. https://substack.com/@chrisjackson221506/note/c-127315104?r=5mfttc&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action
Oh wow, I didn't realize that. What was he attacking you on?
The problem still is probably our detachment from the past makes people tempted to try "new" pagan "rituals."
Sour grapes I didn’t respond to him apparently. Then publicly lying saying I’m a grifter when I make no money from my writing. He has still never retracted or apologized.
It probably could have been even worse to engage further with him. Seems dangerous to engage with mainstream media now, Catholic or otherwise, as their own goals seem to be character destruction for clicks.
Something similar being posted over at Remnant TV by a moderator there. Is the the same one you're referring to?
Where?
Guess we won't be uniting the clans any time soon.

Not ones in communion with the Roman apostates.
