Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

I just heard from a friend that Trent Horn’s wife. Laura, has been diagnosed with brain cancer.

I do not wish that on anyone.

Please pray for her and for their family.

Ave Maria…

From the site itself.

I don’t know, guys… A lot of nonsense was revealed in this past week.

Westen still seems like a standup guy in my opinion. Even looks better these days. That being said, John-Henry, take note. I learned from fifteen years of working in and running Catholic schools. The “hierarchy of the laity” at the helm of Catholic institutions (specifically non-profit structures) are fundamentally assholes. Chris Jackson, I am not. Sorry, friends, but there’s no other word for it. I remember as a young-er teacher one day telling my wife about some such nonsense in the admin at the school where I was working and finishing the thought with, “The mafia ain’t got nothin’ on this lot.” And I grew up in Jersey!

Bishop Strickland? How sad. That leaked audio did not do you any favors. The man I heard on that tape resembled someone far more concerned with his own image then with defending a fellow man who was in the process of being actively railroaded.

Deacon Keith Fournier? He just comes across as a creep. But I’ll put it in terms he can understand. “Ghstindjahkoibbbee! Slay, Spirit, Slay!”

These are all just one man’s opinions, by the way.

The lady who ran the leaked audio of the board meeting on her YouTube channel? I don’t think she expected to get ratioed in the comments.

Fr Altman? I know you’re wondering how he figures into all of this. Late last week he gave an interview on YouTube commenting on the matter. Guess what? He’s still sounding like a strangely rational man. More importantly, he sounds like a man. It could just be that he’s already been tested in this crucible.

Am I ready to re-subscribe to the LifeSite YouTube channel and email distribution list? Not at the moment.

I have a typical “garage gym”. It is not the one pictured below but not dissimilar. Thank you, ChatGPT.

I typically lift during the middle of the day when no one is home in the neighborhood so no one complains when I play my tunes on a speaker with the door up. I also jump rope in the driveway.

This week, I switched gears a little. I lifted much later in the day. Plenty of folks out in their yards, working on cars, bringing in groceries, practicing for a Quincinera. You know, basic Texas stuff.

Instead of the usual selection of Hi NRG disco synth pop (don’t judge), I blasted…

Fr. Isaac!

Enjoy! The neighbors did.

Holy Martyrs of Compiegne, pray for us!

Heard about the yeti skiing trip with the bear blood and the seminarians? Take a look but don’t say you weren’t warned.

I was in McCarrick’s seminary in Jersey in the 90’s. I can’t say I ever remember anything of this nature taking place but it’s all of apiece.

Chris Jackson has a great analysis here:

https://bigmodernism.substack.com/p/oaths-bear-blood-and-yetis-denver

First, I would like to point out that what he says is true. Seminary formation in the Novus Ordo church it’s not only a joke, it is seriously deranged. I have said in the past, and I will repeat it here. Young men training for the sacred priesthood used to be formed according to The Imitation of Christ and other such masterpieces. That was all deliberately thrown out the window – the same one John XXIII wanted opened? – and the result is what we see here.

Second, a blood oath? Are you kidding me?! What human being with a functioning brain in his head and professing the Catholic faith would listen to someone tell him he has to swear a blood oath – or any oath for that matter – and simply acquiesce? And yet, 14 out of 15 such young men did just that. The one who didn’t? He got the boot.

Finally, the obvious cover-up and obfuscation on the part of the archdiocese clearly speaks for itself. “It was a prank, sillies! He was just being imprudent! No harm, no foul! Just guys being guys, right?” Also, “It was imprudent to film it”?

I have to tell you. I sometimes enjoy a well played joke. And although I generally find the sight of anyone wearing a gorilla costume to be absurdly, hilarious, there is no universe in which I can imagine this kind of scenario playing out in front of my eyes where I don’t grab my keys and run for the door. The only thing that shocks me with this story is that nobody was made to undress that we’re aware of. I mean, that sounds like a fitting addition to what is obviously a pseudo-Freemasonic ritual. 

I happened to be on the phone last evening with a fellow trad blogger whom I greatly admire. We discussed the fact that in the past several months there is a tendency to feel completely isolated. TradInc has fully manifested itself. Anyone left in the hierarchy who might have made a peep about the aberration of doctrine marching right off the edge of a cliff has fallen silent. There are the Chris Jackson’s of the world and thank God for that; but this is becoming a lonely endeavor. Of course, we are not alone. There are a few of us left and willing to call out evil. And we have faith. Our Lord has promised us His Mother’s Immaculate Heart will triumph. I wonder how that one seminarian felt when he realized the satanic nonsense in which he was enmeshed. He probably felt isolated. But I don’t have to wander too hard. I was also kicked out of a seminary. I got out with my dignity intact. I pray he did as well. Some of my friends gave in and went to a beach house with a predator. His? They seem to have engaged in bizarre satanic theater. The only thing that would’ve made this story better would be if that guy had been dressed like Mummenschanz instead of a yeti.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!
