Nationalism, Catholicism, and Identity Politics

Why There is no Compatibility Between Racism and Catholicism Above is a glorious expose of one of the most beautiful aspects of our religion – the Church’s respect and appreciation for individual ethnicities, and the marked setting aside of the particulars of any one persons local custom in taking up the habit and living the …

Liberals finally admitting freedom of speech doesn’t work

You’ll notice in this telling expose that young liberals don’t believe other people have the right to be heard, to spread what they unilaterally and subjectively decide should not be spread. What’s interesting is that it’s a case in point of the failure of the liberal thesis. For many years, this country tottered along believing …

A Commentary on the Utter Tragedy that is ‘Desmond is Amazing’

The Zero Sum Game of God and Mammon Men and women shouldn’t be wearing each other’s clothes because it confuses the distinct nature of the sexes. Radical belief, I know. Terribly sexist. But also completely in line with human nature. Some time ago, an acquaintance of mine who has several liberal relatives posted about the …

Why ‘Catholic’ Religious Should Sit Down and Shut Up

A rash of outraged priests and nuns who feel compelled to protest against Trump’s immigration policies has produced a raging debate amongst Catholics.

Should Pro-Life Non-Profits be Using their Resources for Children at the Border?

It is revealing of the so-called pro-life’s movements true motivations …

One would be wrong. Every year, the 4th of July stands not only as a teary eyed reminder of the …

They want ‘the personal is political’? Give it to them.

Companies are catering to liberal interests and forgetting their customer base in favor of identity politics. They are convinced they are untouchable and have come to believe in their own legend. They need to be reminded where their money is, that it’s not in special interest “victim” groups and identity politics. The leftists believe the …

Welcome to My New Traditional Catholic Opinions Blog: National Traditionalist

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. Here you will receive unvarnished, snarky, and honest opinion on politics, religion, and current events from a Catholic perspective. There will be no mincing of words, no subjectivism, or luv, luv, luv. There are other venues for that. This is not it. I would love …

Why this blog

Because a proliferation of traditional Catholic content means greater social awareness of traditional Catholicism. One hopes that will produce conversions. National Traditionalist is borne of the fact that a great many people on social media do not want to participate in political and religious discourse and social media is thoroughly unreliable given their extreme leftist …
