Doctrinal Pitfalls to Each Traditional Group.

By |2026-07-21T16:14:36+00:00July 21st, 2026|Theology|

p/c NASA. Today we consider the intellectual pitfalls to the FSSP, SSPX and sedevacantists, specifically on the topics of the papacy and Vatican II to show no one has the "Rosetta Stone" to the Church crisis. This is a very long one, but I think you’ll find it worth it if you can find the time to sit down and read it. It’s ultimately to unify—not divide—all the traditional groups under Jesus and Mary.  But we have to start with humility towards each other.  Humility is why you will see that I try to disprove even my own camp of views towards the Church crisis below. But let's start at [...]

This may be the most confusing line in the New Testament:  "Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings."—St. Luke 16:9.  Let's see what the Church Fathers say about it. -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/

Death Penalty for Post-Aborts?

By |2026-07-14T14:01:47+00:00July 14th, 2026|Theology|

p/c Statesman Journal. My answer is "No" to the death penalty for those who have committed abortion, but the abolitionists make a logical argument. Before I get to my answer, let me say I am no softie on abortion. I still try to pray and counsel at the abortion center every other week. I have been arrested for peaceful prayer inside abortion centers on the East Coast twice.  But I am not as extreme as the "abolitionists" and a few Catholics who say that women who have had abortions should receive the Death Penalty. Do people really say such things? Yes. Although NPR is rarely to be trusted, they quoted [...]

Due-Process: Torquemada vs. Tucho.

By |2026-07-07T14:19:42+00:00July 7th, 2026|Theology|

Today, we are going to look at canonical due-process as executed by the 15th century Spanish Grand Inquisitor, Tomás De Torquemada (top left) versus that of Cardinal Tucho Fernandez (top-right.)  Tucho is the Cardinal who allegedly-excommunicated the SSPX recently on 2 July 2026.  (SSPX is the American abbreviation for FSSPX which stands for the Fraternity of the Priestly Society of Pope St. Pius X.) Although a heretic can’t excommunicate anyone (as explained here by the WM Review) we are going to suspend that obvious ecclesial reality in order to evaluate the difference in legal process between the 15th century Dominican and the porn-writer currently living in the Vatican. Fr. William [...]

Cuban Marxism and the Priesthood.

By |2026-07-03T17:39:21+00:00July 3rd, 2026|Updates|

The above picture is from the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora in Miami on a recent trip.  A Cuban family brought me to this museum, and it was one of the most spectacular and historically-accurate museums I have ever visited.  I learned a lot about fortitude in the priesthood there.  This will hopefully be demonstrated in this article. Upon entering, I was surprised to see ¡Viva Cristo Rey! at the entrance to the Cuban museum.  I wasn't only surprised to see a promotion of Christ in a seemingly-secular museum, but also surprised because I thought ¡Viva Cristo Rey! was the exclusive war cry of Mexican Catholics in the Cristero [...]

The Heresy of Consequentialism.

By |2026-06-30T11:16:23+00:00June 30th, 2026|Theology|

Even JP2's Veritatis Splendor tackles the modernist heresies of moral theology called "consequentialism" and "proportionalism." These two errors "claim to draw the criteria of the rightness of a given way of acting solely from a calculation of foreseeable consequences deriving from a given choice." He continues that proportionalism "weighs the various values and goods being sought, focuses rather on the proportion acknowledged between the good and bad effects of that choice, with a view to the 'greater good' or 'lesser evil' actually possible in a particular situation."—Veritatis Splendor #75. In fact, Veritatis Splendor quotes Christ telling the rich young man that to be saved, he first must keep the commandments. [...]
