Above is a still-frame picture from the body-cam footage from my friend in Rome with me back in October 2019 as we enter the Church of St. Mary of Traspontina in construction vests to trash Pachamama idols. You can watch the one minute video here. As I wrote here recently, it was my lame attempt to cleanse that Church just a few hundred meters from the Vatican. I won't repeat my whole article here. Simply know that we got caught exiting because the volunteers inside the Amazonian exhibit were on high-alert. This is because Mr. Alexander Tschugguel had successfully removed idols just three hours prior to me, unbeknownst to me, [...]

p/c Daniel Ibanez, CNA. Most Catholics today do not know this, but the greatest center of Christianity (second only to Rome) during the first five centuries was Constantinople. This city is sadly now called Istanbul, Turkey. Today, there are only a few Catholic Churches in that city, including St. Anthony of Padua seen above. Notice the streamer on the right column has the Vatican flag. But the streamer running down the left column is the Muslim crescent moon and star. I am sure the modernist Franciscans who run the Church today would say that’s the Turkish flag, not an ode to Mohammed. But let’s be honest: It’s both. That type [...]

The above is a coin minted by the Vatican in 2022. On it, we see a young masked boy receiving the covid shot. In a tweet back in 2022, Miss Diane Montagna quoted the Vatican, saying this was “a theme very close to Pope Francis’ heart… the need to be vaccinated… he has repeatedly stressed the importance of vaccination … it is important to continue efforts to immunize even the poorest peoples.” As you can see in the picture next to it, that €20 coin sells for €180 on the Vatican website. Now in 2025, Mr. John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough MD release a new book titled Vaccines: Mythology, [...]

Above-left is Pope John Paul II with Cardinal Slipyj (p/c OnePeterFive) and above-right is Archbishop Telesphore George Mpundu with Bishop Anthony Ward (p/c Cathinfo.) I was an EMT for two years and a paramedic for two years. A paramedic has about 10x the training of an EMT. An EMT does Basic Life Support (BLS) and a paramedic is authorized for pre-hospital Advanced Life Support (ALS.) One of the things I say looking back on that chapter of my life is this: “A good EMT follows the guidelines. But a good paramedic knows when to go above the guidelines.” Notice I call them “guidelines” instead of “rules” since breaking rules just [...]

On 15 November 2025, I tweeted: There seems to be two types of trads now alive in 2025: 1) Those who believe the Catholic Church is the unique mode of salvation established by Jesus Christ. These want 8 billion people alive today to come to God with as minimal dogmatic scandals as possible from the hierarchy. 2) Those who do not say explicitly, but imply nonetheless, the following: "The whole world can go to hell with Rome, as long as I get my local Latin Mass." I'm sorry, but I can't see how a fraction of Christian charity exists in the latter group. All I meant by that tweet is [...]

The above left picture is Msgr. Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue, a former Augustinian who was born and raised in Peru. Msgr. Coronado taught me Canon Law at St. John Vianney seminary in Denver, CO. I still communicate with him frequently. The top right is Ana María Quispe Díaz, a woman whom Coronado canonically represented in his home country of Peru after she accused a different priest of abusing her when she was a minor. Msgr. Gene Gomulka, another canceled priest with whom I communicate in real life, writes the following about the two people in the above pictures: The three Peruvian abuse victims who accused Pope Leo of covering up their abuse [...]

Guest post by Dr. Ed Mazza PhD, edmundmazza.com. p/c OSV News photo/Neon. In 2024, Conservative “darling” Sydney Sweeney was the protagonist in the horror movie Immaculate (above) in which she manages both to mock Our Lady and promote pornography: “The film contains blasphemy, sacrilegious jokes, gory violence, including torture and infanticide, grisly images, partial upper female nudity…”[1] Yet moral outrage of the Woke-Left over the recent Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad recently had many Conservatives—including many Catholics—cheering a victory for Sweeney and the cause of Tradition and Beauty.[2]This reaction, however, only goes to show just how poorly catechized today’s Christians are and how far the Overton Window has shifted in [...]

When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?—Christ in Saint Luke 18:8. From 2013 to 2020, a website called The Wild Voice conglomerated all of Francis' heresies, errors and leftist statements. After listing hundreds of these, the site-manager apparently couldn’t keep up and stopped compiling it in 2020. Now, Leo continues the exact same theology, but presented in a less bombastic manner. But what if Leo goes further and "ordains a woman" or "changes the words of consecration"? Of course, leftists will celebrate. Mainstream US bishops, however, will ignore it. They will simply hope the fall-out from this next iteration of apostasy fall on the heads [...]

“Not My Fault If He Looks At Me Lustfully.”

Catholic men and women frequently debate modesty both online and in real life. Inevitably, a woman will chime in and say: “It’s not my fault if a man looks at me lustfully.” Well, sometimes it is and sometimes it's not. The fact is that this is based much more on what you are wearing than how much beauty God has given you. Thus, I have written here and podcasted here on pre-Vatican II parameters of modesty. I still hold to those. But today we're going to look Scripturally at the ancient-wound from the Fall in the Garden from a more philosophical than practical point of view. I’m sure some readers [...]

NB Because this article is so long, yet so important for the month of November, it will be my only article this week (except for perhaps another one on the infrequently-viewed Life-Update pull-down.) November is the month where we pray for our faithful departed, for those who repose in the Lord. Clearly, those in heaven cannot benefit from our prayers. Similarly, those in hell cannot benefit from our prayers, either. Thus, our prayers on earth may only benefit those who are currently in Purgatory. Purgatory is that temporary state of purging fire that heals the deceased who are saved, yet must still answer to God's justice for those sins for [...]
