“Take Away Both Our Place and Our Nation”
From today's Gospel in the Friday of Passiontide we read: So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this Man performs many signs. If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."—John 11:47-48 As Passion week ramps up its tension against Jesus, we are given a rare glimpse into the mind of the Jewish hierarchy today in the 1st century. We know the Pharisees were already willing to kill Jesus out of jealousy, but today we are given an additional reason: They now fear that if they (the Jewish hierarchy) do not compromise with the State, the State will come and take away "our place" (the Temple) and "our nation" (the nation [...]

The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Should lay people pray the Roman Breviary? As far as the old-school Roman Breviary as found in the featured image above, I would say no. Why would I say no? Because it is 8 "canonical hours" of the Psalms on repeat all day long and most of us pray it in Latin. It takes 2-3 hours a day and we pray all 150 Psalms a week in Latin. 2-3 hours of Latin prayers is appropriate for a hermit like me, but probably not for a lay person like most of you. However, if you insist on a couple of the old-school canonical hours, there is a good app that has the old Divine Office to be prayed in the English and the Latin (as well as the Roman Marytrology prayed at Prime) called BrevMeum also found at Divinum Officium with the [...]

Why the Left’s Fake Moral-Panic Is Directly From Hell
Even Washington Post admits that "both Hitler and Stalin were outdone by Mao Zedong. From 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of up to 45 million people – easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded." Mao Zedong killed more people than Hitler. Remember that as you read this blog post. Mao Zedong was a master of turning people-against-people under the pretense of moral purification. One of these sanctimonious moral issues that meant nothing to Mao (but allowed him to keep killing people while looking holy) was the plight of African-Americans. He wrote this pamphlet you can still find on Amazon: One of Mao's statements in the above pamphlet reads, "Martin Luther King, the Afro-American clergyman, was suddenly assassinated by US imperialists. Martin Luther King was an exponent of non-violence. Nevertheless, the [...]

Stockholm Syndrome Part 2
We've already covered a kind of Stockholm Syndrome being brought on by the State here. Now we will look at the Church. This week, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) answered in the negative to the question Does the Church have the power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex? This might seem an orthodox response (and it is) but the CDF ironically quoted Amoris Laetitia (the 2016 document allowing divorced and remarried to receive Holy Communion without confession or annulment) by then saying, “There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage and family." Most in the LGBT community were disappointed, while others celebrated what they saw as an end to the "cognitive dissonance." One person commented [...]
