8.93. Why are traditional Catholics so rigid and judgmental? Didn’t Jesus teach us to love and accept everyone?
This question misunderstands both charity and truth. The world—and the Vatican II sect—has confused love with permissiveness, and truth with harshness. But true charity warns, corrects, and defends the Faith, even when it's uncomfortable. Christ Himself was divisive, calling the Pharisees hypocrites and warning that He came not to bring peace, but a sword (Matt. 10:34).
Traditional Catholics are not “rigid”—they are faithful to the unchanging teachings of Christ. And they are not “judging others’ souls,” but rather defending truth, rejecting error, and admonishing sin, as Scripture and the saints command.
Below is a comparison between the true Catholic approach to truth and charity, and the false tolerance of modernist Vatican II religion.
| Category | Traditional Catholic Position | Modern “Non-Judgmental” View | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charity | Telling the truth, even when hard; correcting sin | “Acceptance” without correction; emotional comfort | Real charity aims for salvation, not approval |
| Judgment | Judges error and actions—not eternal fate of souls | “Don’t judge” misused to tolerate anything | Jesus said: “Judge not according to appearance, but judge just judgment” (John 7:24) |
| Truth | Objective, non-negotiable, revealed by God | Flexible, personal, defined by experience | “The truth will set you free”—not feelings |
| Doctrine | Must be believed whole and entire | Optional; pick-and-choose cafeteria Catholicism | Rejecting any part of the Faith is heresy |
| Obedience | Obey God, not human respect or cultural trends | Prioritizes human feelings, social harmony | “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29) |
| Correcting Others | Spiritual work of mercy: admonish the sinner | Seen as “judgmental,” “hateful,” or “divisive” | Silence in the face of sin is spiritual cowardice |
| Consistency | Faith does not change with the times | Faith evolves with culture, psychology, and dialogue | God does not change—nor does His truth |
| Fruits | Conversion, reverence, strong faith, repentance | Confusion, indifference, empty churches | “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matt. 7:16) |
Summary:
Traditional Catholics are not “rigid” or “judgmental”—they are faithful. They believe and practice what the Church has always taught, without compromise. They call sin what it is—not out of pride, but out of love for souls. The world hates clarity and calls it “hate.” The Vatican II sect imitates the world and calls it “dialogue.”
But Our Lord was clear:
“He who is not with Me is against Me.”
“Blessed is he who shall not be scandalized in Me.”
If we love souls, we will tell them the truth, and lead them out of error, not leave them comfortable on the path to damnation.
