Shortly after my conversion in my early 20s (during the 1990s) I ended up doing street evangelization in NYC. More specifically, I was sharing the faith in lower Manhattan at Washington Square near NYU. I noticed that one young man in my group was both extremely truthful and extremely charitable in his outreach to a very hostile neighborhood. I asked his secret to this balance. He told me that he prayed the Chaplet of the Sacred Heart of Jesus every day. I had never heard of it. The Chaplet of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a 10 minute prayer stemming from the apparition of Christ to St. Mary Alacoque [...]

Russia will march upon all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her flag over the dome of St. Peter's.—Blessed Elena Aiello (1895-1961.) As most of you know, Public Revelation is comprised of the Bible and the Magisterium. It is necessary for salvation because it is the Divine Revelation of the Blessed Trinity. Man, because of original sin and actual sin, cannot see God without God's help. This is why public revelation is absolutely necessary for us to obtain the Beatific Vision. Private Revelation, on the other hand, includes mystical visions and locutions given to holy people following the death of the last Apostle (St. John.) One need [...]

p/c WM Review. 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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

This article is just the basics of the Vatican drama that will go down in the annals of Catholic Church history. As most of you know, the traditionalist Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops for his religious congregation titled the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) in 1988. This was against the will of the Vatican. The Archbishop claims he did this in order to preserve the old rite of the seven Roman sacraments. Subsequently, Pope John Paul II immediately declared Lefebvre and his bishops to be automatically (latae sententiae) excommunicated for doing that without his permission. However, there is very strong evidence from JPII's own 1983 Code of Canon [...]

Overturning the First Two Secrets of Fatima.

For all the energy we rightly spend speculating on the Third Secret of Fatima, I think we also need to look deeper at the first Two Secrets. While studying the first Two Secrets of Fatima, it struck me as odd that the Fatima saints would label something of public revelation (like the reality of hell) as a "secret" of private revelation. In other words, are the first two secrets really secrets? Then it hit me: Perhaps Our Lady in Fatima wanted these basic things of Our Faith to be known as "secrets," precisely because of how many clergy of the 20th and 21st century would deny them. In this article, [...]

The Catechism of Pius X states: "Infidels are those who have not been baptized and do not believe in Jesus Christ, because they either believe in and worship false gods as idolaters do, or though admitting one true God, they do not believe in the Messiah, neither as already come in the Person of Jesus Christ, nor as to come; for instance, Mohammedans and the like." Yet Vatican II states: "Muslims... professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind."—Lumen Gentium #16. You probably expect me to highlight differences between the two above theological definitions, [...]
