Bonum Ex Integra Causa.

By |2026-05-19T01:00:07+00:00May 19th, 2026|Theology|

Bonum ex integra causa, malum ex quocumque defectu is Latin for "Goodness comes from a complete cause, evil from any defect whatsoever." You may remember the free catechetical series I produced called Catechism of Pius X (CPX) which is a YouTube playlist at that link.  If you're converting to Apostolic Catholicism (either from Protestantism or modernism) I highly suggest you watch that series.  On CPX, I explained the traditional Catholic faith in about 20 hours.   Also online, I'm currently teaching the Roman Catechism of Trent (RCT.) It is also a YouTube playlist at that link.  Unlike CPX, we have not yet come to the end of RCT. As you [...]

Who Showed Up to Vatican II? Who Didn’t?

By |2026-05-20T00:24:56+00:00May 13th, 2026|Theology|

My favorite assignment as a parish priest began in 2017 when I was on-loan to the diocese of St. Augustine in Florida.  I lived and offered the Traditional Latin Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Jacksonville.  The families who attended my Mass loved not only the Mass, but also the Catholic faith.  After Mass, a surprising amount of families would come to the basement of the Cathedral to talk to each other and attend my classes on how to use all the tassels of the layman's Missal for the old Mass.  I came to know many of these families.  They loved God, the faith, their [...]

Three Ages of Martyrs.

By |2026-05-06T18:47:03+00:00May 7th, 2026|Theology|

The men of that [last] generation will have no deeds whatever, but there will come upon them temptation, and those who are worthy in this temptation will be higher than us and our fathers.—St. Ischyrion of Egypt, early Desert Father. Recently, I was thumbing through my friend’s Saint Andrew Daily Missal. The middle of that layman’s missal has a surprising history of the Catholic Church’s saints and martyrs. It describes the early Church saints in these shocking terms: “With very few exceptions, such as St. Gregory the Wonderworker (November 17th), St. Mary Magdalene (July 22nd), St. Martha (July 29th) and St. Petronilla (May 31st) the saints of the first four [...]

Suppressed Feasts from the Old Roman Missal.

By |2026-05-01T16:30:48+00:00May 5th, 2026|Updates|

While visiting some new friends, they brought me to an old chapel in the woods (seen above.) On their altar was a Roman Missal published around 1900.  As I was thumbing through it, I was amazed at numerous feasts that are now suppressed.  I snapped several pictures of these optional feasts. In writing the below article about them, I am not saying the Holy Spirit has been inactive on earth since the 1950s.  But I am saying these beautiful liturgical propers should probably be put back on our Roman calendar by a future Pope, at least granting the priest a possibility of using them as optional propers. Above is the [...]

Why Do We Need Two Judgments?

By |2026-04-30T18:59:39+00:00April 30th, 2026|Theology|

Last week, I got this email, and I was given permission to publish it: What does “judge the living and the dead” really mean? We face particular judgement and that is final (correct?). So what happens to the already dead at the second coming? Especially those in hell? Or, as Tom puts it, Why are You coming to judge the already judged? I feel as though I should know this at my age but alas…drawing a blank. Thank you!!! Here was my response: Yes, so Jesus will judge you at your death as worthy of heaven or hell. But at the end of time, He also comes to judge the [...]

The USCCB’s Bible Translations.

By |2026-04-28T11:06:52+00:00April 28th, 2026|Theology|

One can always detect the preferred heresy of the age by what is removed from the Bible.  So, before we look at the USCCB’s Bible translations, let’s look at two examples of what heretics over the last 500 years have removed from their own versions of the Bible. 1) The Protestant rebels removed Maccabees because of Purgatory.   Maccabees is like the Braveheart of the Old Testament.  It's one of the most exciting books of the Bible, so no one should have removed it.  But the 16th century heretics like Martin Luther removed 1 and 2 Maccabees because it showed Purgatory and the necessity of sacrifice for the dead.  Here's [...]
