Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits.—Mt 7:15-16.
Many traditional Catholics today rip on the ultra-leftists because it’s easy to knock out of the park really low-hanging fruit like “Clown Masses” or social-justice warriors to oppose Eucharistic rallies because it detracts from the poor or even pro-abortion “Catholics.” Trads tackling people that far left on the political and theological spectrum are after “easy likes” on Twitter and Instagram.
The bigger problem is that neo-conservative (non-traditional) priests who may be found making pro-life statements or be seen headlining at a national “Eucharistic Congress” will often give heretical answers for nearly every doctrinal question except those two (pro-life and True Presence.) In other words, it’s not good enough to say “Don’t kill babies” and “Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist.”
In my article titled 40 “Smaller” Heresies of Modernism, I admitted that such heresies only seemed small. But really, there is no such thing as a small heresy. As you look through that list, I guarantee you that nearly every single American-based clergy-celebrity (except those who are traditionalists in the Catholic Church) will side against the Catholic Church’s classic Magisterium on those 40 issues. For example, if you were to ask a superstar bishop or priest headlining at the recent Eucharistic Congress about the death penalty or evolution or patriarchy or suicide or ecumenism or hell, you would get a radically different answer from me.
