Where Mercy Meets Justice On the Gallows.

By |2025-10-06T17:42:12+00:00October 9th, 2025|Theology|

When I was a student attending a liberal Jesuit high school, I was very much against the death penalty.  I even wrote letters for Amnesty International (before they had taken their pro-abortion stance) with my friends in Denver cafes at night, while other guys were out partying.  Back in the early 1990s when I was in high school, I also knew of the book Dead Man Walking about an anti-death penalty sister who spent time on death row named Sr. Helen Prejean. Fast forward to the late 1990s where I am studying theology at Boston College, the second most prestigious Catholic University on the East Coast (second only to Georgetown.) [...]

The Commandments Are Not Burdensome.

By |2025-10-06T17:05:55+00:00October 7th, 2025|Theology|

It seems the current Vatican apparatus is promoting sixth commandment sins committed contra naturam even more than even the last Vatican regime.  Of course, that last sentence seems impossible for real Catholics who just endured the last decade of dogmatic madness issuing from Rome.  But it's obvious the current agenda is even more pronounced than the last one.  (Consider the Chicago-based male-couple just brought in to be personal chefs at the Vatican's new Laudato Sí restaurant.) A few Catholics might be thinking (especially after this much brainwashing and gaslighting from the Vatican over the past 14 years) that perhaps the traditional teaching on the commandments is just too hard in [...]

The Humility of Apostolic Catholicism.

By |2025-09-29T14:46:37+00:00September 29th, 2025|Theology|

p/c Mary's Secretary. On this feast of St. Michael, let’s look at one of the only passages in the New Testament about the Archangel and and those who oppose him: For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ... just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject [...]

The Mad-Trad Sad-Trad Descends Upon Rome.

By |2025-09-27T11:33:02+00:00September 27th, 2025|Life|

The rightly-ordered Catholic priest (not one attracted to a lifestyle contra naturam) gives his life entirely to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.  Christ is my friend, my God and my Savior.  The Catholic Church is my mother, and I hope to stand as the best-man for her bridegroom, Christ, in His marriage to her in the Apocalypse.   You lay people also love the Catholic Church, but some of you can't understand how personal it is when I see modernists invade her.  It's like watching your own mother be harmed by intruders who have no rights to be in your home, especially when she is all you have. How [...]

Got Hope in Human Nature?

By |2025-09-25T09:32:32+00:00September 25th, 2025|Theology|

For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”—Luke 23:31. The head of the synodal church (his words, not mine) recently stated to Crux: “We keep hoping. I believe strongly that we cannot give up hope, ever. I have high hopes in human nature. There is the negative side; there are bad actors, there are the temptations. On any side of any position, you can find motivations that are good and motivations that are not so good.” Hope in human nature? Not in Jesus Christ? Not the Catholic Church as the only way of salvation? Nope... hope in human nature. Some [...]

What Charlie Thought of Francis and Leo.

By |2025-09-22T12:40:54+00:00September 22nd, 2025|Theology|

It is common at the death of a great man for smaller minds to weaponize great minds for their own personal wheelhouse of ideas.  For example, in regards to the fallen Charlie Kirk, his friends on earth are currently engaged in bitter debates on if he was changing his once-favorable views towards the current state of Israel.  (We will not be delving into that today.) People are also debating if Charlie Kirk was on his way to Catholicism before his assassination. Of course, Catholics are insisting he was. Evangelical Protestants are saying he was not. In previous articles, I wrote that I believed there was a good chance he was [...]

Why Are Protestants Chanting “Christ Is King”?

By |2025-09-18T13:11:24+00:00September 18th, 2025|Theology|

p/c Eric Daugherty. Why are Protestants chanting "Christ Is King" while Catholic bishops promote Black Lives Matter?  Shouldn't it be the opposite? St. Thomas Aquinas once wrote "Grace builds on nature without destroying it."  Similarly, we could say that Divine Revelation is built on the Natural Law without destroying it.  When St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that, he never would have guessed large populations of so-called Catholics would be one day rejecting the bare-bones basics of the Natural Law like "Unborn children deserve to live" and "Marriage is between only one man and one woman" and "It is bad to mutilate your children, even if they have mental disorders." This is [...]
