Vatican II, the Novus Ordo, the New Order, the New Mass, whatever you want to call it, wrecked the lives of many Catholic priests, nuns, and laypeople, and so affected everyone else, without exception. Hiding or lying about the truth is no answer. Adopting basic stoic principles will assist us whether we recover from the tragedy, or until we recover, or the natural world fails. Seneca Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, usually known mononymously as Seneca, d. A.D. 65, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, dramatist, and satirist in one work, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature.
Ancient Pandateria, Agripinna's island of exile, is Ventotene today. Seneca died the same way Socrates died. At his trial for impiety and corrupting youth, for which he was sentenced to death, Socrates said of himself, "An unexamined life is not worth living." The dictum is recorded in Plato's Apology (reasoned argument): ho dè anexétastos bíos ou biōtòs anthrṓpōi. Is a forced suicide, suicide?
