Mary, Destroyer of All Heresies Part II

By |2022-10-09T19:53:50+00:00October 13th, 2022|Theology|

In Part I, we discussed how Mary's interior life was entirely God-centered (not man-centered) and how her life, although ordinary in her daily duties, was a string of miracles from her Conception to her Assumption.  Miracles overturns the heresy of modernism which is primarily a man-centered version of Catholicism that looks through the ancient faith through natural goggles instead of the supernatural vision given to us by Divine Revelation. I release this blog on 13th of October which is not only the anniversary of the greatest miracle since the Resurrection (namely, the miracle of the sun seen at Fatima by 70,000 believers and unbelievers alike on 13 Oct 1917) but [...]

Mary, Destroyer of All Heresies Part I

By |2022-10-11T13:03:03+00:00October 11th, 2022|Theology|

Although she is the most tender of mothers, Mary has also been known for centuries as "the destroyer of all heresies." Why? Most of my readers probably know from Church history that any correction of a Marian heresy was usually de facto a correction of a Christological heresy afflicting the faithful. For example, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer (of holy memory) points out that "the Council of Ephesus taught categorically and definitively that in Jesus Christ there is only one person, the Person of the Son of God, in which subsist two natures, really distinct, the divine nature, by which Jesus Christ is truly God, and the human nature which [...]

My Favorite Full-Length Movies on YouTube

By |2022-10-07T04:32:13+00:00October 7th, 2022|Theology|

Note: Click on the title of any movie embedded in a blog to leave it and go straight to YouTube. https://youtu.be/cYbXeN_I2KE Padre Pio: Miracle Man. Padre Pio is played by Sergio Castellitto in this movie produced in 2000. Italians tend to make film of saints that either get the natural right or the supernatural right, but this gets both right on Padre Pio. It's 3.5 hours long. I don't think any Padre Pio flick will soon top Miracle Man starring Castellitto. Regarding a newer production on the life of the great saint of Padre Pio, I wrote a month ago on social media that I believe Shia LaBeouf's conversion is genuine, [...]

238 Infallible Dogmas of the Catholic Church

By |2024-08-29T15:12:26+00:00October 4th, 2022|Theology|

One of the most common questions I get is: "Which Dogmas are Infallible in the Catholic Church?" In 2013, the website Tradicat was able to conglomerate from the late Dr. Ludwig Ott's book, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma about 238 dogmas that are either De Fide (defined by the Catholic Church as infallible) or Sent. Certa (infallible by corollary.) I improved Tradicat's numbering system a bit below, but Dr. Ott and Dr. Daniel Stramara did the hard work on this long ago. More recently, Fr. Paul Kramer and Dr. Edmund Mazza have revealed that despite being a modernist, and despite hiding the Third Secret of Fatima, Pope Benedict XVI has denied none [...]

Either Deceived by Satan Or Discredited by Men

By |2022-10-04T00:30:46+00:00September 29th, 2022|Theology|

The The Devil's Final Battle (DFB, henceforth in this blog-post) is a book published in 2002 and edited by Fr. Paul Kramer.  In it, we read:  "In 1917, the very year Our Lady appeared at Fatima, St. Maximilian Kolbe as in Rome, where he saw the Masons showing their open hostility to the Catholic Church and carrying placard announcing their intention to infiltrate the Vatican so that satan would rule from the Vatican and the Pope would be his slave.  They also boasted at the same time that they would destroy the Church. The intention of the Masons to destroy the Church fits in perfectly with the well-known Masonic dictum, 'We [...]

The Early Church Was More Rigorous Than the Medieval Church

By |2022-09-26T00:35:36+00:00September 27th, 2022|Theology|

The above picture is one of the earliest discovered paintings of Madonna and child in the catacombs of Rome.  It is found in or near the Church of St. Priscilla.   The earliest Christians were certainly full of the fruits of the Holy Spirit as listed in Galatians (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) but that does not mean that they were shallow, smiley, happy or clappy in their approach to life.  The notion that the early Church's liturgy was simplistic is overturned in these videos I did on Antiquarianism and Archaeologism.  (In these videos I show that the ancient Mass is closer to the TLM [...]

We Need to Change Our Strategy with Infiltrators

By |2022-09-24T16:04:41+00:00September 24th, 2022|Theology|

When I saw this tweet by Matt Gaspers, I realized we were being trolled by the left. Or, Satan was openly trolling the left and still all leftists don't realize they are now fully under the grip of who St. Ignatius calls "the enemy of human nature."  Either way, there are currently no attempts by the left anymore to hide their evil intentions or actions. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote: "We know that they are lying. They know that they are lying. They even know that we know they are lying. We also know that they know we know they are lying. But they still continue to lie."  That's because the big-time [...]

He Who Is Not Against Us—Is For Us

By |2022-09-22T13:32:48+00:00September 20th, 2022|Theology|

The late Fr. Gabriele Amorth was the chief exorcist of Rome in the 20th century under Pope John Paul II.  In his second book, An Exorcist: More Stories,  he recounts on page 124 a soldier with a demon who had originally met with him but couldn't make future appointments.  Fr. Amorth writes:  "Continuing with the story of the young soldier: he called me to cancel our fourth appointment, citing military duties. Several months later, I received a letter from him. He told me that he had to leave Rome because he had been suddenly transferred to northern Italy. He gratefully thanked me for the help I had provided and joyfully [...]

Attending Ex-Catholics’ “Weddings”

By |2022-09-09T03:13:25+00:00September 8th, 2022|Theology|

There's a lot of combinations of sacramental debates happening today, but most of them are very similar:  Someone's Catholic family member is getting married outside the Church.  Half the family feels squeamish about it.  A priest steps in and says to the more conservative family members, "You should indeed go to your son's wedding outside the Church, so as to not break the bonds of charity.  That way, you can evangelize him back into the Church later." Then, all the lay people in the family have their consciences euthanized by the smiling priest, and they all go to the "wedding." Here's why that priest is wrong and it's actually a [...]

St. John Vianney on the Final Judgment

By |2022-08-24T21:24:47+00:00September 6th, 2022|Theology|

And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty.—St. Luke chapter 21. Not a God clothed with our weaknesses, hidden in the darkness of a wretched stable, housed in a crib, treated with derision and mockery, bowed to earth by the heavy burden of His Cross, but a God who, clad in the glorious splendor of His great power and majesty, makes known His advent by the most terrifying manifestations, by the darkening of the sun and the moon, by the falling of the stars and by the upheaval of all creation. Not a Redeemer who comes with the meekness of [...]
