Michael Voris Reads a Letter

I occasionally put up Michael Voris' material. It's the orthodox, traditional Catholic take on things so of course if you are not Catholic it may be jarring on occasion. This piece I put up to illustrate the fault lines within the practice of modern Catholicism which currently contains dissenters of all kinds from crypto-Wiccans to extreme relativists and they all attack the traditions and truths which the Church is committed to sustaining. In a sort of microcosm it illustrates the cultural clashes of the wider world around us where truth is besieged by fashion and decadence in every direction. We live in a world where as a former boss of mine liked to say "perception is the truth." But of course perception is often enough delusion and not the truth at all. "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again." — Alexander Pope 1709.
