The Catholic Esquire

Defending traditional Catholicism and the Kingship of Christ against modernists, legalists, sophists, liberals, Vatican 2 lovers, and the lukewarm.
A week after claiming JHW obsessed about Catholicism according to the Council of Trent, Dcn. Fournier, who speaks in tongues, defends the Pachamama Mass. This long winded screed avoids Francis like the plague, but says totally in line with Benedict. The new LifeSite News is here!
The rebrand has begun. New LifeSite front man Keith Fournier defends Pachamama Mass for the Care of Creation as ‘a gift’ from Pope Prevost. lifesitenews.com/opinion/there-…
Bishop Barron correctly wants to tap into the rich heritage of the Church to help bring people to faith. The problem is what “faith”? The Catholic faith or the Vatican II faith because they are NOT the same. The New Mass offered in these Cathedrals exposes the harsh disconnect.
Friends, Reims Cathedral—worn by time, weather, and war—stands as a symbol of the Church’s endurance through the ages. Please pray for me and my team as we continue our journey, especially that this documentary on the great cathedrals might lift the faith of many.
Everyone needs to read this, and when finished, read it again. The modernist infiltration in Rome and the war on tradition only continues and thrives due to the servile obedience of Traditionalists unwilling to actually stand up like a man and push back. The evidence is in.
New Article: "Rome Only Blinks When You Push" The Orthodox got respect. The Eastern Catholics got protection. The old SSPX got concessions. The obedient trads? Crushed. From Lefebvre to Leo: How Modern Rome Rewards Revolt Story link in the comments! #SSPX #LatinMass #TradInc…
Well he believes in man made climate change and the COVID vax. Of course he believes Aldrin landed on the moon in the 1960s. Next thing you know he will say women can be deacons. Disconnect from reality is serious and it’s dangerous to souls.
This evening, 56 years after the Apollo 11 moon landing, I spoke with the astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Together we shared the memory of a historic feat, a testimony to human ingenuity, and we reflected on the mystery and greatness of Creation.
I don't see how this happened due to technical problem with the prior vote. Absent some strange provision unique to the LifeSite bylaws, they could have cured any errors and voted him out again. Some minds have apparently changed.
Breaking: @JohnHenryWesten has been recognized as the president and CEO of LifeSiteNews ‘subject to review and investigation.’ He shared the following statement with all staff earlier today.
While the LifeSite board meeting audio recording was dramatic and somewhat interesting, it really doesn't tell us much. It's important to know how to sift through the drama in a reasonable way. youtu.be/Vo09ZuDOiYE?si…
Some say marriage is a vocation. It’s not. Traditionally no one ever spoke of marriage as a vocation. That’s all post Vatican 2 TOB, which pretends the married state is equal to celibacy. How can you have a vocation that is 100% conditional on some other mortal person’s vocation?
Will @KeithFournier7, who some have said is the attorney for LifeSite News, respond to this publicly? Is there a board meeting on July 22, and is there a dispute as to whether the removal of JHW was valid under the bylaws? kokxnews.substack.com/p/breaking-lif…
Future priests undergo an outlandish midnight ritual in a ski cabin, featuring a theology professor, a killer yeti, and a dramatic bear blood ceremony. And yet, it's just too much to believe these seminaries could be teaching error and heresy? 🤷♂️
New Substack! Knives, Bear Blood, and Yetis: Denver Seminary’s Very Normal Weekend Retreat When frat-house theology meets postconciliar formation, you get a vice rector in a yeti costume and an exorcist on cleanup duty. Read here! open.substack.com/pub/bigmoderni… #CatholicChurch…
The real story within this bizarre story is the seminarian who refused to play along, and ends up getting booted out of seminary for reasons that are disputed?
An incident in which Denver seminarians were invited to make a "blood oath" with a man in a yeti costume has been described as "a well-intended moment that clearly went badly wrong and never should have happened" by the vice rector involved. pillarcatholic.com/p/yeti-blood-o…

Two gentlemen speaking unfiltered truth about the reality in the Church today, even under Leo (gasp). Stop hiding in the closet waiting for scraps to fall from the Modernist table, join the fight. Subscribe to Kokx News and Hiraeth In Exile. open.substack.com/pub/kokxnews/p…
This is why women shouldn’t be allowed to post without their husband’s prior approval. Does @HippieReligious really want to publicly engage this topic with someone like @NovusOrdoWatch or @LouieVerrecchio? Of course not. Let’s not be silly.
Sedevacantists are protestants cosplaying as Catholics.
Charity and virtue are weaponized to score points. It’s sad and lazy. No facts or arguments? Just fall back on “you’re not charitable!” Or “detraction!” Except, unlike 500 years ago, any dude with a phone can lead thousands to hell. Therefore, many private sins are now public.
Funny how nearly everyone saying to be careful with gossip and detraction and need to make sure EVERY CLAIM is 100% TRUE before saying a word about them are also the same people that have no issues calumniating Taylor Marshall and other Trads. Charity for me but none for thee!
The VoR scandal is the best thing that could possibly have happened for LifeSite News right now. Because it's a race to the bottom.
It just occurred to me that so many of the Trad Inc. apologists who love defending Catholicism against Eastern Orthodoxy are perfectly happy with Leo, who promotes synodality. Yet, synodality and the EO both reject the Papacy as conceived under Vatican I. Hypocrisy much?
The more I read Jalsevic's response to the JHW termination, the worse it gets. But the real scandal is that LifeSite is attempting to separate Catholicism from the prolife movement. youtu.be/hPP4lcxXDd8?si…
Trad Inc.’s assumption in making excuses for LifeSite is that Jalsevec’s non-supported assumptions are correct. They never established, nor will they, a connection between drop in viewership and JHW. Great article from @nonvenipacem. nonvenipacem.org/2025/07/11/no-…
