Then when Judas, His betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.” And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.—Mt 27:3-5. There are two things that kill the soul: despair and false-hope.—St. Augustine, Sermon 87 Let me say at the outset of this article that I have had friends commit suicide. So, I don't like writing this. But a major corrective needed to be [...]
p/c New Liturgical Movement. A Correction on the Proper Interpretation of Matthew 19:9 The explosion of annulments and accompanying civil divorces (with second “marriages”) among Catholics, especially in the United States since Vatican II, is an underreported yet monstrous crisis that is destroying the fabric of American Catholic families and jeopardizing eternal souls. This is why I take this topic seriously, as should you. I previously wrote an article entitled “Is There a Scriptural Basis for Annulments?” In that article, I noted that modernists in the Catholic Church, who tend to promote the issuance of Decrees of Nullity (annulments), wrongfully rely on the “exception clause” contained in Matthew 19:9 to [...]
Last week, on the second anniversary of my Mom's passing, I went to my sister's Byzantine Catholic Church for Vespers of St. Andrew of Crete. My brother-in-law sang the litanies as you can hear in the audio example below. Vespers was three hours long, as it went through all of Salvation History. In the litanies that night, every person compared himself to each sinner of the Old Testament and New Testament. I sang in Byzantine tones that I myself was worse than each one of those Biblical sinners. So did everyone else in that little Eastern Catholic Church. We made nearly 300 nose-to-ground prostrations, begging for God's mercy. But it [...]

He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb. The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, [...]
Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.—St. John 5:28-29 In the above passage, Our Lord Jesus Christ describes an important part of the Creed, namely, that on the Day of Judgment (the last day of humans on earth before "the new heavens and the new earth") Christ will return and we will all begin the resurrection of the body. What will happen to everyone? Everyone in Purgatory [...]
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.—2 Tim 3:12-13. The word for "all" above in Greek is πάντες or pantes in the Latin alphabet. Just like the English above, all obviously means everyone. That is, every single person who desires to live a pious life in Christ will be persecuted, even if they are not looking for it. When seen from the point of view of heaven, this is more of a promise than a threat! Notice also that imposters will go from "bad to worse." [...]

Recently, LifeSite News published disturbing news: "The Washington state Senate passed legislation to throw priests in jail for almost a full year for maintaining the Seal of Confession. Senator Noel Frame, a Democrat, is on her third attempt to force priests to divulge what they hear during Confession if it concerns abuse." Notice the last four words above: if it concerns abuse... Keep in mind we in the traditional Catholic world have been fighting clergy-abuse of children. That means those of us who defend the seal of confession are not looking for a "work-around" in hiding child-abuse when the predator is lay or clergy. In fact, in past articles, I [...]
When you see "a Theology of Attachment" as the title of this article, you probably think I'm going to tell you what to give up for Lent. It's too late for that. Rather, I'm simply going to compare that which Satan clung to and that which Mary clung to. (And yes, I know I just ended a sentence in a preposition, but remember what GK Chesterton wrote: "A preposition, I may remark in passing, is about the best thing in the world to end a sentence with.") Satan's Attachments: St. Thomas Aquinas wrote: "But [satan] desired resemblance with God in this respect---by desiring, as his last end of beatitude, something [...]
