The Trendy Peasant
Homesteading has become trendy, but the Catholic Land Movement has been advocating for it for decades.

Quote:Today, another revolution unfolded and prompted the Catholic Land Movement’s revitalization. Like the Industrial Revolution, the medical and global technocracy apparent during Covid consolidated power. Like the response to the Industrial Revolution, this gave rise to a new populism and people returning to ideas of distributism…desiring healthy morality, theology, economics, and culture, and realizing the need for a practical expression of integrated living.

Quote:It’s not our focus or expertise, but many of us attend the Ancient Liturgy, and it’s just part of the phenomenon—not intentional, but just organically happening. We’re not an exclusive group, we invite and accept all valid liturgies, but what you will find at our conferences is that the Divine Office is in the Ancient Form, because the founders of the movement had that liturgy. As Pope Benedict said, “What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us, too.”

Quote:We raise laying hens, big gardens, berries, a pig; and some meat chickens are coming this spring. Our goal is to eventually farm on a large tract of land in community with other Catholic Land Movement families. My wife and I have always preferred to be more self-sufficient and were regularly trying new ways to remove ourselves from the culture of consumption. We dreamt of a lifestyle for ourselves and our children where we could produce, not just consume; where we could embrace hard work and instill similar values in our kids, and where we could hold our Catholic faith at the center of it all. We thought that we were the only ones with this dream until we discovered CLM.

Quote:Our CLM chapter, and the revitalization of the movement in America, is in its infancy, but the momentum of its growth is astounding. The four tenets of the movement speak to our hearts and feed our souls; they satisfy the longing that so many people have had and represent, what feels to me, like a true calling from Our Lord.

Quote:these pillars and this lifestyle satisfy one of the deepest and most fundamental desires of man, as they harken back to God’s first command to us in the Garden of Eden: Tend the garden, till the soil, be fruitful and multiply.

Quote:“…It is important to know that in Argentina, Catholic religious congregations can only exercise their apostolate within an administrative and juridical framework conditioned by their inscription in the register of the Institutes of Consecrated Life, on the [conciliar church’s] ecclesiastical authority’s recommendation.”

Quote:“…The District Superior [Fr. Christian Bouchacourt] therefore went to him [Ed. Pope Francis when he was a Cardinal of Buenos Aires Argentina at that time] to present the problem: there [would have been] an easy solution, and that would be to declare ourselves an independent church (before Civil Law), but we did not want to do it because we are Catholic.”

Quote:6) If you access the official website of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Argentina there is a register of Recognized religions in the country (Protestants, Buddhists, Africanists, etc.) and a Register of Institutes of Consecrated Life in the terms of Law 24483. There is a unique register for the Catholic Church and forms (with instructions) for processing STIs are on the web.

Quote:“…We continue working so that full communion and juridical framing of the Society within the Catholic Church may be achieved.”

Quote:Can. 298  §2.  The Christian faithful are to join especially those associations which competent ecclesiastical authority has erected, praised, or commended.

• The old-SSPX sought the integrity of Doctrine; no compromise.  Hence, the battles.
  
• The old-SSPX sought the Faith over the Mass.  “Lex orandi, lex credendi”.  The Law of Prayer is the Law of belief.  The other traditional groups that fell had reversed the order and put the Mass over the Faith.
  
• The old-SSPX sought conciliar/modernist Rome to convert back to Tradition first; before a practical deal.
  
• The old-SSPX placed conditions with conciliar/modernist Rome so as not to be a part of their ecumenical structure; rather, for conciliar Rome to adhere and obey to the perennial Church that binds them to their office and Baptism.  “I will place the discussion at the DOCTRINAL LEVEL: ‘Do you agree with the great encyclicals of all the popes who preceded you?  Do you agree with Quanta Cura of Pius IX, Immortale Dei and Libertas of Leo XIII, Pascendi Gregis of Pius X, Quas Primas of Pius XI, Humani Generis of Pius XII? Are you in full communion with these Popes and their teachings? Do you still accept the entire Anti-Modernist Oath? Are you in favor of the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ? IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE DOCTRINE OF YOUR PREDECESSORS, IT IS USELESS TO TALK!” (Abp. Lefebvre, Fideliter, Nov-Dec 1988).”  http://www.therecusant.com/dont-play-with-the-faith
  
• Etc…
  

• In the n-SSPX we have heard how they find itself [falsely] to be irregular with the conciliar Church and with an impediment in Canon Law; whereby the new-SSPX  has lost its orientation and its identity in this crisis than what Archbishop Lefebvre maintained that they are not “irregular”, the conciliar church is.  ABL thus stayed in a position to work for the Supreme Law of the Church under Her protections “prae oculis habita salute animarum, quae in Ecclesia suprema semper lex esse debet.”  “The salvation of souls is the supreme law of the Church”.
  
• The new-SSPX seeks therefore the need to have “integrity” of their institution to be regularized with a canonical status so as the people in the Novus Ordo structure can see that they are a good guys; a lowering of the standard to please men.
  
• The new-SSPX seeks the Mass over the Faith like the FSSP by adopting practical concerns over the Doctrinal concerns.
  
• The new-SSPX seeks to integrate themselves in order to convert the Romans from the inside.  However, ABL says, “The inferiors are not above the superiors”; it is a failed attempt before it begins.
  
• The new-SSPX seeks, as Bishop Fellay declared at Lille, France, on 7 May 2013, “That one could not ask Roman authorities to condemn the Council and the New Mass, because one cannot ask authorities to lose face.”
  
• The new-SSPX, as Fr. Pfluger says, needs to be reconciled sooner rather than later because it will take a long time; possibly decades if the SSPX does not do something with Rome at this time.  The new-SSPX further seeks this attachment with conciliar Rome because, as Fr. Pfluger also said in a public conference in Hattersheim, Germany, that under the current circumstances, the Fraternity’s superior does not “believe it is possible to turn down the Pope’s proposal.” He said that straying from the Pope’s wishes would lead to Sedevacantism.  [11]
  
• The new-SSPX said through Fr. Jean-Michel Gleize, professor of theology in Ecône, “the institution of the conciliar church IS the Catholic Church.”  The consequences follow with conciliarism over Catholicism.
  
• The new-SSPX  seeks unity and obedience before the Faith.
  
• The new-SSPX seeks obedience around its Superior General as a first cause of unity; not the Faith, per Fr. Rostand in his Post falls Idaho conference; and, he says also:
  
• The new-SSPX ’s direction, “is a matter of prudence; not a matter of doctrine.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pnYYTzTQrc
  
• The new-SSPX  is now intolerant of any of its priests who still speak of the old-SSPX
  
• The new-SSPX metes punishment and banishment for those who get in its way to be institutionally reconciled with conciliar Rome.
  
• The new-SSPX seeks to be understood in confusion and ambiguities, like conciliar Rome, rather than to speak straight forward and upright like its founder.

• The 2012 Great Reveal.  Two leaked letters: one from the three SSPX Bishops addressing neo-Menzingen’s General Council mindset and pre-emptive deal with Rome,  April 7, 2012 [17]  ; and the General Council’s scandalous reply, April, 14, 2012.  [18]  (Followed over the years by many more leaked internal letters, including from modernist Rome, and many public News Interviews and conferences.)
  
• The next day, Bishop Fellay representing the whole of the SSPX publicly compromised on Doctrine and Constitution sending to modern-Rome their Doctrinal Declaration, April 15, 2012 [19]  proclaiming there is an agreement with the beliefs of the conciliarists; and unity is above Doctrine.
  
• B. Fellay depressed his plan was reveal, sent a June 2012 letter to Pope Benedict XVI, saying he will overcome the difficulties…give him some more time to effect the new changes.  [20]
  
• 2012 SSPX General Chapter Six-Conditions publicly accepts the principle and practice of Vatican II; thereby transferring the treasures of “Tradition” to be under modernist-Rome.  (Here too, Bp. Williamson was not invited to attend as a SSPX bishop), July 2012 [21]
  
• Bp. Fellay expelled his opposition ousting Bp. Williamson Oct 2012 [22], and consecutively a large number of SSPX priests and friend priests, along to disassociate from the Dominicans of Avrille France and the Benedictines in Brazil. 
  
• By 2014, together over 100 priests expelled.  The new-SSPX continued to remain steadfast in their course with modernist Rome…
