Catholics have got to get it together. There a a fair amount of us that are based, but there's this weird brand of "modern/liberal" Catholic that exists. (I'm unsure how they square those two in their brain; probably just by not thinking about it too hard.)
They need a new schism (probably not the correct word) or antipope leading the "true" church from another country. Make a clean break. With local bishops being relieved simply for not following Globohomo, the current situation is untenable.
I've spoken to many Catholics. Priests and Bishops, clerical staff, old and young, fervent believers and disillusioned outcasts.
Almost all of them say the same thing:
"The most important thing is that you're kind to others."
This endless tolerance and false kindness is a sickness that plagues us all.
If we are to survive then Christians must once more learn how to hate. To hate evil, to hate outsiders, to hate this sordid world. Only through hatred may we achieve freedom. Only through hatred may we once more reach glory.
I tell you, my friends; hold hatred in your heart as your most precious of memories.
That's antithetical to the message of Jesus. It's not hate that makes us powerful, but rather love.
Not true. The importance of hating evil is all throughout the Bible (too many to quote here), including by Jesus specifically:
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a person’s enemies will be the members of his household. The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his life on My account will find it." -- Matthew 10:34-39
"The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life." -- John 12:25
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." -- Matthew 6:24
Also, nowhere does it say love makes us powerful. God is powerful, and He loves us, therefore we are preserved and protected, but we ourselves aren't powerful.
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Just as it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 8:31-39
In fact, the scripture is quite clear that we're powerless.
“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple."
Do you want me to go through all the times Jesus directly tells you to hate others and the world around you? I can give a mini sermon if we really require to understand the biblical necessity of hatred.
It is not ordinarily necessary to hate a mosquito before crushing it with your hand. It simply needs to be killed with no requirement to become emotional.
The majority of Catholics are either liberal-woke or milquetoast and simply just cultural Catholics. Catholics who take their faith seriously are fewer than we like to think online (unless we're in a Traditionalist parish or, at the very least, a traditional-friendly conservative Novus Ordo parish). The future of the Church will either live or die on the strength of the faithful remnant, as Benedict XVI called them.

Those people are in denial. You cannot be a leftist and a Catholic. The two are incompatible, leftism demands numerous things that are mortal sins.
Cope. The two are inseparable.

Seconded on Vigano. He names the enemy.
Just looked that guy up, I like him, sounds like one of us.

He didn't, however, say that we should be complacent and cowardly in the face of sin and corruption. Anger is entirely allowed.
So, be angry, but not hateful. Love, but don't ignore.

it wasn't a command to hate, it was declaration of the necessity of desperation for faith.
My armor is Contempt.
My shield is Disgust.
My sword is hatred.

It's always been that way.
Almost everywhere that mass immigration is transforming this nation, you will find Christi churches actively supporting the invasion.
