The Synod Producing the “Saviors of the Church”

By |2024-10-10T04:36:47+00:00October 10th, 2024|Theology|

Because the tendency of leftists normally tends towards the insecurity and manipulation found in narcissism, it is no wonder that there is an enormous overlap in the heresy of modernism with these traits.  In other words, modernists often reveal the same constellation of narcissistic traits as democrats, including accusing others of the very things they do.  Sometimes this is hard to identify in leftists within the Catholic Church because they appear meek and humble (at first.) But "synodality" has blown the cover on such strategies.  The irony of the claims of those promoting "the synod on synodality" almost reads like they are trolling traditional Catholics.   Or, perhaps like the [...]

Bedtime Prayer of St. John Damascene

By |2024-10-08T01:45:21+00:00October 8th, 2024|Theology|

St. John Damascene (aka St. John of Damascus) was a priest and monk who lived from about AD 675 to 750.  He was born in Damascus (still the Capitol and largest city in modern Syria.) However, he spent most of his time as a monk in a monastery near Jerusalem.   St. John is considered to be among the last of the Church Fathers, but he wrote much more about the Holy Mother of God than most of them.  Because St. John was a Church Father before the East-West Schism (AD 1054) he is also revered as a saint by both Catholics and Orthodox.  Below is the bedtime prayer of [...]

An “Expanded Ministry” to the Papacy is Impossible

By |2024-10-05T13:03:08+00:00October 3rd, 2024|Theology|

p/c CNS, Paul Haring Why can there be only one Pope at a time?  Because Christ set up 12 Apostles but only one Pope.  St. Peter is "mentioned 191 times (162 as Peter or Simon Peter, 23 as Simon and 6 as Cephas)."  That is more than all the other Apostles combined.  Thus, Peter's office (munus in Latin) is singular.  The Pope is much more than "first among equals" as the New Testament clearly proves in the above numbers.  On top of this, numerous Magisterial documents (and saints that stood against anti-popes in history) all insist:  There can only be one valid Pope of Rome at any one time. Yet [...]

Saints Perpetua and Felicity: The Full Written Account

By |2024-09-29T19:14:45+00:00October 1st, 2024|Theology|

The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity, translated by W.H. Shewring, London, 1931. The Passion of the Saints Vibia Perpetua, was executed in the arena in Carthage on 7 March 203. The account of her martyrdom [technically a Passion] is apparently historical and has special interest as much of it was written, in Latin by Perpetua herself before her death. This makes it one of the earliest pieces of writing by a Christian woman. PROLOGUE. If ancient examples of faith kept, both testifying the grace of God and working the edification of man, have to this end been set in writing, that by their reading as though by the showing of [...]

The Left Is Right: Clericalism Is the Problem

By |2024-09-25T12:32:52+00:00September 26th, 2024|Theology|

p/c Remnant Magazine The leftists who hijacked the hierarchy since the 1960s (and especially since 2013) state that the main problem in the Catholic Church today is "clericalism." They condemn anything maintained by traditional Catholics that still delineates between the clerical state and the lay state. For example, they believe even something as innocent as the cassock must be deemed a sign of arrogance and "rigorism." Like Marxists have always done, their thrust is to blur the lines between Holy Orders and marriage... so as to destroy both sacraments. But it is precisely the leftists who believe they can replace God's own revelation of Himself in both dogma and liturgy. [...]

“God Will Not Stand In Awe of Any Man’s Greatness.”—Wis 6:8

By |2024-09-24T11:02:28+00:00September 24th, 2024|Theology|

For God will not except any man's person, neither will He stand in awe of any man's greatness. For He made the little and the great, and He hath equally care of all.—Wis 6:8. Last week, I was in a desert in Africa.   That desert is majestic and unforgiving, as seen in the picture I snapped above.  In the desert, one realizes how insignificant he be before God. For example, if I wandered off into the desert and died, I would be the talk of Catholic Twitter for a day. Friends would say how great I was. Enemies would say how terrible I was. But within a week, only [...]

Interview of Bishop Williamson by Fr. David Nix

By |2024-09-23T08:26:40+00:00September 23rd, 2024|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Richard Williamson was born in the UK during WWII in 1940. He converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism in 1971. He was later ordained a priest in 1976 and consecrated a bishop in 1988, both by Archbishop Lefebvre. Retired Naval Academy professor Dr. David Allen White wrote that Bishop Williamson is “the most outspoken, detested, persistent, outrageous, implacable, unyielding, forthright, kindly and charitable Catholic Bishop." I hope you agree after hearing this podcast. (The second half is the best.)

Jesus Taught the Apostles the Roman Canon

By |2024-09-27T20:03:35+00:00September 20th, 2024|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

On LifeSite News, Mr. John-Henry Westin and I discuss which is actually older:   The so-called "Tridentine Mass" or the Novus Ordo Missae.  We also consider overlap in the seven ancient sacraments when considering the old Latin Rite in light of the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church.
