This is a talk I gave in Croatia on the Social Reign of Christ the King for the Apologetic Association of the Blessed Ivan Merz in Zagreb. Above is a picture of me praying at the tomb of Blessed Cardinal Stepinac, poisoned to death by the communists in the 1950s (who died later in 1960 due to it.) Below is the banner for the conference:
Although the phrase “history is written by the victors” was attributed to Winston Churchill, it was spoken in several different languages before that. In fact, the most infamous use of that phrase in World War II did not come from Churchill, but rather from the German named Göring who reportedly said at Nuremberg, “The victor will always be the judge, and the vanquished the accused.” This was at least the phrase spoken by the actor playing Göring in the movie titled The Reportand it’s believed to be historically accurate. In no other case of history is this phrase more true than the alleged Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1850. While it [...]
You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness... Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.—Ex 23:1, 7. This is a made up story, but imagine a Catholic woman named Nancy is flanked in her condo to the west by a married woman named Sandy and to the east by a married man named Steve. Imagine she sees Sandy leaving Steve’s condo at 10pm one night. The next day, Nancy puts on the Next Door app: “Very interesting that a certain Sandy is leaving [...]

Above is a family I baptized into the Catholic Church. In my last article, I described how easy it was for non-Catholics to receive Holy Communion at nearly 99% of the Novus Ordo Mass (NOM) parishes of the world. This is because there is no longer priestly oversight. This is due to several reasons I proved in that article. But to add insult to injury, those same priests (who give Communion to strangers) will not give baptism to those same strangers seeking entrance into the Catholic Church! At least, such unorthodox priests will not allow baptism without months of red-tape on the paperwork and endless hurdles on catechesis (which [...]
One of the strange things about suburban Catholic Mega-Parishes is that there's always a tremendous amount of red-tape in getting children or adults baptized. Yet strangely, receiving Holy Communion at such parishes is easier than getting a cheeseburger at McDonalds. This modernist practice is the total inverse of our original Apostolic practice that brought a lot more souls into the Catholic Church. This isn't an exaggeration. Keep in mind you need $1.79 to get a cheeseburger at McDonalds. But at your local Mega-Parish any person (even non-Catholics) can obviously walk up to any made-up "Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion" (EMHC) and receive the Son of God. There is no oversight.

I am currently reading Humility of Heart by Fr. Cajetan da Bergamo. It is an 18th century classic of the spiritual life. As you can tell from the title of my article, I wanted to ask myself something that pertains to my own website and mission: Is it humble to expose heretics? Although Fr. Cajetan lived in a time of relative stability in the Catholic Church, I think he gives an answer that is clear today. The first half of what I have taken from his writings (not exactly about heresy) implies a "No" and the second half implies a "Yes." Again, the question is: Is it humble to expose [...]
At the end of my last article, The Recent Battle of the SSPX, I asked a question that pertains to the traditionalist movement at-large: Why do modernist heresiarchs publicly honor Anglicans, trannies, satanic American rock stars, abortion-promoters, Buddhist monks, Muslims, Jews, liberal Catholics, prisoners and even animals before they will publicly honor traditional Catholics? But this is bigger than the SSPX vs. the Vatican. If you are a Catholic who attends the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) you have probably heard something like this from a mainstream Catholic: “Do you reject Vatican II? While there’s nothing schismatic about attending the TLM, you might have schismatic spirit to you if you attend [...]
