It is highly interesting that psychedelic drugs burst upon the scene at precisely the same moment that the Second Vatican Council was abolishing traditional Roman Catholicism and deconstructing the sacramental order. It’s as if the grace of the Roman Catholic sacraments, while they were still intact, overflowed their specifically Catholic context and maintained a certain level of elevation in the “collective unconscious” of the western world, an elevation which was rapidly lost when that grace was cut off. Faced with a sudden unconscious or half-conscious sense of spiritual loss, and the stifling sensation that always results when the psyche is cut off from the plane of the Spirit, the western collectivity became susceptible to the temptation of psychedelics, which at the very least can provide (though not without extremely negative consequences) a horizontal psychic expansiveness which appears to compensate for, and sometimes actually counterfeits, the loss of a vertical spiritual elevation, while at the same time concealing the fact that such a loss ever occurred. Psychedelics, in other words, were a kind of Luciferian “booby prize” offered as compensation for the fall of western Christendom.

I ask you my fellow anons, even if you LARP as a radical catholic traditionalist but hold some affinity to the statements you make, to join a seminary.

I say better to have someone lacking in faith that wants to restore the Church to her historical glory, better to have megalomaniacal aspirations for the papacy than be some tepid lukewarm catholic pressured into this position by family or degenerate sexual inclinations!

Definitely do not drop out unless there is some extreme need to do so. The Church looks highly upon Seminarians who have previous collegiate studies and you will be viewed with more esteem in the Diocese in which you are assigned. If you drop out, you will have to prove to the seminary that you will not do the same there. That being said, once you complete your studies, certainly do not rule out the Holy Priesthood if you are so inclined to do so. Use the time you have at your institution to grow in virtue and I'm sure you will become a great man anon. The Church needs them.
