Is It Humble to Expose Heretics?
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 [...]

The Paradox of the Modernists.
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 [...]

The Recent Battle of the SSPX.
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, [...]

Who Are the Infidels?
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, [...]

A Letter From Hell.
p/c: Kevin Key Sister Claire was a German nun who lived in the first half of the 20th century. But before that, she worked at a business firm with a woman named Annette. Annette died in a car accident in 1937 in Southern Germany. Many years later, after the death of Sister Claire, a mysterious account of Annette telling Sister Claire that she had gone to hell was found in the papers of the convent. Before you write this off as loony, know that the diocesan Curia of Trier, Germany authorized its publication before the Council. Furthermore, this "Letter from Beyond" (as it was originally called in its publication) was [...]

Egyptian Influence Upon Irish Monasticism.
At the farthest southwest reach of County Kerry (already the most southwest county in Ireland) jut-out into the Atlantic Ocean two crags collectively called Skellig Michael (see above, p/c Arian Zwegers) so remote and mysterious that Star Wars makers filmed parts of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi there. But more fascinating than this is the fact that the real Christian Jedi—some of the most ascetical monks in all of Catholic history—built their beehive dwellings on these remote islands between the 6th and 8th century. The beehive huts of Catholic monks are called clocháin in Irish and bear a striking resemblance to the beehive huts of the Desert Fathers [...]
