Grey Rock Vs. Yellow Rock (a Narcissism Follow-Up)
After appearing on Dr. Taylor Marshall's show to discuss Christian Boundaries against Narcissists, I got numerous emails similar to this: "My spouse is a narcissist. I can't divorce him. I can't always grey-rock him. What else can I do?" (That is not a direct quote of anyone, but it is a summary of numerous emails I received.) In this video, Dr. Ramani explains how to go low-contact with a narcissist in your life. She says, "Low-contact is exactly what it sounds like: Really only the most essential contact... Low-contact is tight: Only essential communication, nothing but the facts. No emotion and only when necessary... Grey-Rocking is something that can be an add-on to low-contact. Grey Rocking is emotionless, flat, uninteresting: 'Yes... No... Ok.' It's you not taking the bait. But Grey-Rocking is a very tricky strategy: Being flat and not [...]
What Happened to All the Good Priests?
Several years ago I was at a dinner in Florida and a bunch of us were discussing Church history in the 20th century, especially the state of the priesthood. It was a light-hearted discussion about the topic, "What happened to all the good priests in the 20th century?" After typical answers for awhile, an older Polish gentleman chimed in, "Maybe they all died in the World Wars." The levity departed from the room at the profundity of his answer. Everyone got silent because he seemed to have said something unexpected, but accurate. Even the man who said it seemed surprised at the potential accuracy that had just come out of his mouth. His answer has haunted me for years. I think it's too simplistic to say that he solved the entire Church crisis of the 20th century (and he certainly [...]

Hyper-Patriarchal and Hyper-Matriarchal Societies
I recently watched a documentary on the Roman Empire. What struck me about episode one is how masculine the pagan world used to be. Demons seemed to have known who was in charge of that society, namely, men, so the sins were particularly male-based from the very start of the city of Rome: Fratricide, rape of the Sabine women (See above) and then, of course, centuries of conquering other nations. At the beginning of episode one, the documentary host reads a tombstone from about the 4th century BC where a certain "Scipio" boasts of how many hostages he took as a warrior. How did Christianity ever convert the Roman Empire? I read the Roman Martyrology almost every day, and it constantly employs the verbs "triumph" or "conquer" in a non-ironic sense. For instance, one martyr might "overcome" the flames [...]

Superstition Before Hospital-Sacraments
Catholic Church history reveals that during times of strong faith, superstition decreases. Also, during times of weak-faith, superstition increase. I believe modernist Catholics (not Medieval Catholics) are the most superstitious of all Catholics in history. One proof of this how many Catholics took an experimental mRNA injection made from aborted babies just to keep death away. (Even WaPo recently ran a story that those double-and-triple vaxxed were those still struggling with COVID-19, meaning it didn't even keep away the one bogeyman it promised to eschew.) But that is not the topic of today's blog post. Today's blog is in regards to how most modernist Catholics approach the life-and-death sacraments with great superstition. I'll also give some solutions on how to increase the "faith of our fathers" in your own life. For years now, I have been seeing modernist Catholics hesitant [...]

The Shrewsbury Trial
Red Rose Rescue (RRR) is the group of pro-lifers who peacefully try to convince women inside abortion centers not to kill their children. One reason I joined RRR is because they are among the only pro-lifers I know who not only have it in their head—but also their heart—that the unborn child is just as much a child as, say, a toddler or teenager. If this doesn't make sense, please read this most recent trial, in Shrewsbury, New Jersey. It may move you to tears how we (including me) have all missed the humanity of the unborn child Even those of us in the pro-life movement have missed the reality of this genocide. I have been arrested twice with RRR for our peaceful work in abortion centers, even though I'm still learning from them. I have a trial [...]
Joe Biden, Symbol of Caper-Catholicism
I normally despise blogs that start with a definition, but I'm going to break my rule for a definition here. A Caper is defined an activity or escapade, typically one that is illicit or ridiculous. This is why the name of this blog is "Joe Biden, Symbol of Caper-Catholicism." Biden's version of Catholicism is an escapade. Biden's election was illicit. His fake-Presidency is ridiculous, full of blunders, gaffs and senility. But probably over 50% of US Catholic priests and bishops voted for this man in 2020—thinking it was the "Catholic" thing to do. Unelected-President Joe Biden has also been a fake-Catholic for a long time. But again, most clergy probably voted for him. And the clergy normally lead lay people to heaven or hell. So we need to evaluate some obvious topics after the last State of the Union address [...]
