Dogma Evolves As Well As a Species

By |2024-10-22T12:40:31+00:00October 22nd, 2024|Theology|

p/c Nordic Biosite Dr. David Hillel Gelernter Ph. D is a Jewish man who is professor of computer science at Yale University.  At one point, he believed in Darwinian evolution.  But in 2019 he wrote a groundbreaking article called Giving Up Darwin that reveals his reversal on this.  It is probably my favorite proof against species-based evolution because it is neither biological nor theological, but rather mathematical.  I encourage you to read the entire article, but one excellent paragraph reads thus: "Do the numbers balance out? Is Neo-Darwinian evolution plausible after all? Axe reasoned as follows. Consider the whole history of living things—the entire group of every living organism ever. [...]

VLX 158: Mt 27:15-19. “I Have Suffered in a Dream.”

By |2024-10-21T16:24:34+00:00October 21st, 2024|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

-Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.”

Convergence of Vocations

By |2024-10-20T16:15:37+00:00October 20th, 2024|Life|

At the end of summer 2024, I was in Western Europe and Western Africa on different missions.  While in Europe, I was about to offer Holy Mass a pro-life center and I noticed after donning my alb and cinture that I had the rest of my vestments on a car seat (see above picture.)  As it was a pro-life center across from an abortion center, the car seat was clearly destined for a poor family who would say "no" to abortion after being abortion-minded.  (Notice I don't say that we hope they would say "yes" to life, as saying "yes" to life already happened the minute they chose to unite [...]

Heresies Always Start Small

By |2024-10-18T01:28:23+00:00October 17th, 2024|Theology|

The Council of Nicea teaches that God the Son exists as one substance (homoousian) with God the Father, even though they are different persons of the Blessed Trinity. The word homoousian is Greek for consubstantial in Latin (which you say or sing every Sunday or Feast day at Holy Mass during the Creed.)  To deny the persons of the Trinity being consubstantial is to deny both the Divinity of Christ and the Blessed Trinity. This fact of orthodox Catholicism seems obvious to most Catholics today who have taken even one week of Christology classes at a Catholic University or seminary.  But in the fourth century, the heretic Arius denied this, [...]

Stop Compromising on These Two Commandments!

Featured image above shows two stained glass windows in the "Mary Keane Chapel" at the "La Salette Shrine" in Enfield, New Hampshire. There is a little-known but Vatican-approved apparition called Our Lady of La Salette.  Catholic Straight Answers explains the basics: "On Saturday afternoon, September 19, 1846, two children– Maximin Guiraud (age 11) and Melanie Calvat (age 14)– were tending sheep for their employers near La Salette in the French Alps. The effects of the French Revolution which had terrorized the Church, the blood spilt during the reign of Napoleon, the increasing secularization of social thought, and the rising political turmoil enveloping Europe had taken a serious toll on the [...]

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 |2024-10-22T05:20:01+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 [...]
