Bad and Good Catholic Art
The top-left picture was drawn by Fr. Mario Rupnik SJ. The top-right is an icon I snapped at the Greek Catholic Church in Athens earlier this year. National Catholic Register wrote about the Jesuit who drew the above left picture: "Father Rupnik, a priest and artist, has been accused of spiritual, psychological, and sexual abuse of religious sisters. He was removed from the Jesuits last June." Even the Knights of Columbus wanted his removed from the National Basilica in DC as Detroit Catholic reported. It's unfortunate that "art" which mocks Our Lord and Our Lady and the saints is asked to be removed only once "the artist" is found to [...]

More Reasons for Kids Not to Have Cell Phones
Many conservative and traditional Catholic parents know the dangers of kids having cell phones. These dangers include inappropriate images and bullying. But most good Catholic parents somehow still think their children are beyond the reach of predators because they have relatively-obedient children. In this article, you're going see why that's you need to put away that pipe-dream forever. Ex-SEAL Shawn Ryan now has over 2.5M subscribers on his YouTube channel alone, not to mention many more listeners on other forums. He's a conservative podcaster who recently became a Christian. A year ago, he twice had on his show a 30 year old man named Ryan Montgomery who is known as [...]

VLX 151: Mt 26:30-36. “A Place Called Gethsemane.”
-Fr. Walter Joseph Ciszek SJ’s Four Years in Purgatory: https://youtu.be/17AllrONbKU -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny [...]

Going from the ’55 Missal to the ’45 Missal
As you know, for the first seven years of my priesthood, I offered the new sacraments. The last seven years I have offered exclusively the old sacraments. But now I'm switching from a 1962 TLM Missal to a 1939 TLM Missal. This has little to do with the papacy or obedience or rebellion or political statements or trying "to be more trad than the next priest." To be honest, when I first heard traditionalists speak of the decision to Restorethe54 in place of the 1962 Missal, I thought, "Wow, nothing is good enough for these snotty traditionalists!" (And this was after I had switched to the TLM that I was [...]

Flow-Chart For Salvation-Emergencies
What do you do if you come across a dying person? Should you prioritize getting a paramedic or a priest? What can a lay person do for a dying person who is baptized or unbaptized? What should a priest do for a dying person who is baptized or unbaptized? The traditional answers are relatively simple. They come from what the Bible and Catholic Church has always taught. The following Flow-Chart For Salvation-Emergencies is going to focus on the faith-aspects of helping people die. As an ex-paramedic who has come across a lot of emergencies even as a priest (and I wrote about one here) one needs to consider both the [...]

St. Catherine’s Letter to Cardinals Under an Antipope
These days, St. Catherine of Siena is frequently quoted in her love of the pope of her day (as well she should be.) However, she is less frequently quoted in what she had to say about the antipope of her day. There have been 20-40 antipopes in history, so a discussion on this topic is not “anti-Catholic," or "schismatic," as the following account of St. Catherine clearly demonstrates. The website Virgo Sacrata reads: “In 1378, after the election of Pope Urban VI, the majority of Cardinals, Prelates and the people recognized Clement VIl as pope, even though he was in reality an antipope. Thirteen out of sixteen cardinals questioned the [...]

Discernment Rules on Secular Decisions
Last year I wrote an article titled, Why Do Rad-Trads Keep “Guessing” Everything Right? In it, I explained it was not a coincidence that traditional Catholics were accurate on everything from resisting "the covid vaccine" to seeing the current Church crisis accurately. Why is this? It wasn't because my Google-button worked better than the priests that were ordained before me. It wasn't because I wanted to save lives by avoiding an mRNA gene therapy injection while other more lukewarm Catholics wanted their loved-ones to die. The reason was not physical. Rather, it was spiritual. We all might have good-wills, but we were informed by different beings. If Rad-Trads Guessing was [...]

Should Those Who Commit Abortion Be Punished?
In the more righteous days of Christendom, Catholic countries did indeed reserve the death penalty for men or women who had killed children. This is seen in the fact that in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, the Church Fathers and the Popes held that the death penalty was not only for safety for society, but it was a just punishment upon the guilty. This was especially true when the guilty killed even one innocent person (like an unborn baby.) In case you think the Catholic Church has changed her teaching on the death penalty, just realize that such a notion is impossible. The dogma of the Catholic [...]
