World Religions Part III: Real Catholicism is the Only Antidote to Chaos
I attempted to prove in World Religions part I and part II that Catholicism is the only world religion that even claims to deliver lasting fulfillment to modern man. In this blog post, I will attempt to show that an "updated" Catholicism can never do this. Only real Catholicism can serve as "an antidote to chaos" to borrow a term from the best-selling book by Jordan Peterson. Yesterday, I drove from Denver to Chicagoland to be with my grandma for what may be her last month on earth. I am vigiling by her bed with both an iPad to get some work done and the old Collectio Rituum to begin [...]

RomeCast 4: St. Ubaldo and Catholicism needing both Relationship and Rules
Oz discusses a Florida bishop from the 1980s who reflected the courageous acts of an ancient saintly bishop, Saint Ubaldo of Gubbio. I then discuss the conversion of grandmother, now 103, seen in the featured picture above. Please pray for her failing health. Finally, sorry about the bad sound quality—we recorded this podcast while I was driving across the country and we are working on getting better recording equipment.

RomeCast 3: STEM shooting, VP Pence and Priestly Garb
On today's podcast Andromeda and Fr. Dave discuss persecution of Christians in the USA as well as what it means for a priest to wear his cassock or habit. As will be the custom, we will always close with a quote from the Life of the Virgin by St. Maximus the Confessor. It can be found on Amazon here.

RomeCast 2
In today's podcast, we hear Oz' conversion story. Oz will be my co-host for every Thursday's RomeCast as we dwell into news and commentary on the Catholic world.

World Religions Part II: The Exclusive, All-Embracing Cross
Because this blog post will inevitably raise the question "Who can be saved?" I would like to give the two bookends within which all Catholic orthodox answers must fall. One the one end, Pope Pius IX wrote, "By Faith it is to be firmly held that outside the Apostolic Roman Church none can achieve salvation. This is the only ark of salvation. He who does not enter into it, will perish in the flood. Nevertheless equally certainly it is to be held that those who suffer from invincible ignorance of the true religion, are not, for this reason, guilty in the eyes of the Lord." (Denzinger 1647, Ott 312.) Invincible [...]

RomeCast 1
In today's first RomeCast podcast, we introduce our Tuesday co-host, Andromeda. She tells her family story and a little of her conversion. We then jump into the news. Both of us coincidentally chose news stories about secularists harassing pro-lifers in both Europe and the United States, the latter being the civil rights attorney Brian Sims publicly harassing children. That video is embedded below (not on any podcast app) but rather on my blog via Twitter. (We will definitely be shorter in the future, but this intro of Andromeda is well worth a first good, long RomeCast.) https://twitter.com/LilaGraceRose/status/1125517225757007872

Harry Potter’s Effects on Children
I recently put up a FB post about JK Rowling's fictional character Cassandra Vablatsky. Vablatsky is the fictional character who wrote the textbook Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as mentioned in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Even Harry Potter's "fandom" website admits that Vablatsky was named after famous Russian Satanist, Helena Blavatsky. Under this FB post, I had 223 comments before publication of this blog post. One thing I later remarked is that it would be harder to pry from the hands of a Colorado teen his or her pot than Harry Potter novels! Such a disproportionate response shows some preternatural involvement. But what proves the preternatural (diabolical) side [...]
