TS 2:26. We consider the ninth article of the creed as found in the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X (CPX) This is 9.1 p. 27-28. Q/A # 1-7. The Three Parts of the Church: Militant, Suffering and Triumphant. https://youtu.be/rEnYB8EFvJI
This is a talk I gave at a parish on the Feast of the Rosary, 2020. It's about why evangelizing strangers with Miraculous Medals may help save even your own family. We look at everything from King St. Louis IX to the battle of Lepanto to St. Maximilian Kolbe.
TS 8:03. The Our Father, part 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjF55EUiGAQ&t=494s
In a recent letter found on Marco Tosatti 's blog, Archbishop Viganò writes: "In recent days it has been reported in the news that the Jesuits in America have received grants of nearly two million dollars (over four years) from George Soros, and it seems that the same agreement between the Holy See and the Chinese Communist regime has been financed by large annual donations from Beijing to the Vatican coffers that are in a disastrous state. The fact that the Church fell prostrate before the lockdown, suspending liturgical celebrations and closing churches all over the world, has led to considerable collateral economic damage, for which Chinese donations and the [...]

So-called "Middle-of-the-Road" Catholics are becoming increasingly distressed at their own defectors to the camp of the “far left” of Fr. James Martin SJ and the camp of the “far right” of Dr. Taylor Marshall. These Middle-of-the-Road Catholics are concerned at how many “pro-life Catholics” will still vote for Biden, especially as a new group of “defectors to the left" listens to the likes of Fr. James Martin. Such clergy of the far-left discount the notion of being a “one-issue voter” on abortion as we approach the election. For this reason, liberal "pro-life Catholics" may have no problem voting for Biden because of other issues they dislike about Trump. But the [...]

TS 10:30. Today we look at the violence in the Old Testament vs. Christ on the cross. I frequently reference the Scripture commentary of the Jesuit, Fr. Cornelius a Lapide SJ. https://youtu.be/yBkqX7tOOz0
Mission One The last time I was in California was last year, but several trips are worth recounting here that shaped my ten years of priesthood. First, during the summer of 2012 (when I had been a priest for only two years) I led a group of university (and barely post-university) students on a trip called Bike for the Unborn (BFU) where we rode our bikes up the missions of Southern and Central California to raise money for the unborn and their plight in this country. By "missions," I mean we visited the ancient Churches founded by Bl. Junipero Serra, the great Spaniard Franciscan known as the "founder of California." That [...]
