Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness did as much on Lisbon as Ganley. No larger a globalist today than Adams. Does he count in your list of Catholic Nationalists?
SSPX are censored and not on RTE? Have they tried doing a web-cast from the front seat of their cars in Sligo? People will have heard of Sheridan, you on other hand, cannot name one of these 'real' Catholics in Ireland. They are organised you claim, where? Do they have a website or a video channel? This thread is not about 'theological perfection' but they wont lower their community outreach efforts below an RTE platform or an Irish Times interview? Yet Sheridan has tens of thousands of subscribers. Perhaps if your real Catholics had a car and a webcam they could reach more people?
Patrick Pearse who is the pinnacle of your Catholic Nationalism, was as much inspired by the sacrifices of Wolfe Tone and Robert Emmett as he was by Jesus Christ. Your top Catholic inspired by Ascendancy Anglicans?
Your non-infiltrated church was writing out the moral framework for globalist mass immigration in the 40s. Long before your Vatican II excuses kick in
and this lovely calendar merch is available on that Angelus Press site you recommended. Nice deal for $4.99. If only people outside their echo-chamber knew about it.

Firstly , thanks for being my punching bag, normally that role is played by Jambo, but he’s less fun, because he’s not read a book since he was 12.
Anyhoo…

"Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness did as much on Lisbon as Ganley. No larger a globalist today than Adams. Does he count in your list of Catholic Nationalists?"
Reality:
This is a classic bait-and-switch. Adams and McGuinness briefly voiced occasional opposition to EU measures, but their objections were framed within a
Marxist revolutionary paradigm, not a Catholic nationalist one. Their worldview was steeped in liberation theology, which is
not Catholicism, but a politicised heresy condemned by Pope John Paul II. Declan Ganley, for all his faults and Atlanticist sympathies, launched
a direct challenge to Brussels technocracy, financing and organizing an actual,
effective resistance to the Lisbon Treaty. Adams and McGuinness merely
leveraged EU ambiguity to gain leverage for Sinn Féin’s globalist-lite aspirations. They were never driven by a Catholic worldview, and invoking them as equivalents to Ganley is like comparing a fanzine to a newspaper simply because both use ink. Ultimately, their contribution was significantly less.

"SSPX are censored and not on RTE? Have they tried doing a web-cast from the front seat of their cars in Sligo?"
Reality:
This mockery proves the poster’s ignorance of how
truth, not popularity, defines Catholicism. The SSPX
refuses to whore out the faith through clown-car theatrics or clickbait pantomimes. Their strategy is not digital attention-seeking, but
sacramental restoration and slow cultural repair. They’re censored from mainstream media not because they’re ineffective, but because they’re
a living indictment of both Vatican II collapse
and secularist modernity. Sheridan’s webcam antics are not outreach—they’re
confessional solipsism disguised as dissidence. That’s the difference between a priesthood in exile and a pagan on autoplay.

"People will have heard of Sheridan, you on the other hand, cannot name one of these 'real' Catholics in Ireland..."
Reality:
False. I've named many:
Fr. Patrick McCarthy,
Fr. Michael Crowdy,
and lay voices like
Andy Heasman,
Gearóid Ó Colmáin,
Dana Rosemary Scallon,
Declan Ganley,
Malachy Steenson,
Peadar Toibin,
Gemma O Doherty, and so on. Sheridan is a nobody.

"Patrick Pearse... was as much inspired by Wolfe Tone and Emmett as Jesus Christ."
Reality:
This reveals a
shallow reading of Pearse. Yes, he referenced Tone and Emmett as symbols of Irish defiance—but his
mystical core, as evidenced in “The Spiritual Nation” and his speeches at the grave of O’Donovan Rossa, was deeply Catholic. Pearse saw martyrdom through a
Christological lens, not through Tone’s secular deism. His entire pedagogical philosophy was centered around the
formation of Catholic souls for national redemption. Quoting Tone does not make one less Catholic—Pearse simply integrated national memory with Christian sacrifice. That’s high Catholic nationalism, not contradiction.
Seeks Claim:
"Your non-infiltrated church was writing out the moral framework for globalist mass immigration in the 40s..."
Reality:
This is a
historical lie or a
deliberate conflation. The 1940s Church spoke about
charity to refugees post-WWII—
not borderless multiracial utopias. The difference between
principled hospitality and modern
globohomo-engineered demographic replacement is as wide as the Tiber. The
infiltration began in earnest
after WWII—particularly in the 1950s and 60s with the rise of the Nouvelle Théologie and eventual victory at Vatican II. Before this, the papal encyclicals like
Quas Primas (1925) and
Immortale Dei (1885) were focused on
Christ the King and national sovereignty, not supranationalism.

"That lovely calendar merch... from Angelus Press. If only people outside their echo-chamber knew about it."
Reality:
Here we get the jealous sneer: mocking $4.99 merchandise while sitting on a digital throne built on
nothing. Angelus Press harmlessly sells devotional materials to Catholics, many of whom support families, homeschools, parishes, and
real charity. That’s not an “echo chamber”—it’s a
surviving remnant of Christian civilization. And unlike the self-styled “thought leaders” of the neopagan webcam underground, Angelus Press actually has
a track record,
a catechism, and
a Church behind it.
