Satan’s Targets: Man’s Heart and Woman’s Life-Giving Organs
I have been listening to podcasts with Dr. Peter McCullough MD and Dr. Robert Malone MD on the topic of the COVID-19 "vaccine." Dr. Peter McCullough MD is one of the most peer-reviewed and published cardiologists in the world out of Texas. Dr. Robert Malone MD is a graduate of Harvard Med and has dedicated a large part of his life to the development of mRNA vaccines. As most of you know, these physicians responded to COVID-19 in 2020 as most physicians did, namely, with medical concern that we were facing a looming enormous pandemic that could wipe out a significant portion of the population. Since then, however, these are two of the most outspoken men with the incontrovertible data (often from major health organizations now hostile to them) that the vaccine poses more of a danger than the actual [...]
Epiphany 2022
Epiphany falls on the 6th of January every year. Epiphany means "manifestation" and the three miracles of Epiphany are found (roughly) in the above three pictures and (exactly) in the three below accounts of Sacred Scripture because they are manifestations of the glory of Jesus Christ: The Magi Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He Who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem [...]

Lumen Ad Revelationem Gentium
[Simeon] took [Jesus] up in his arms and blessed God and said, “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”—Lk 2:28-35, ESV The above account in the Gospel of St. Luke happens during the presentation of Jesus in the temple [...]
VLX 96: What Defiles a Person
Mt 15:10-20 -"It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a man."—Mt 15:11 -"And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body."—Jam 3:2 *** -"O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Thy servant. Yes, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou, unto ages of ages. Amen."—St. Ephrem -"Abbot Hyperichius said: 'It is better to eat meat and drink wine, than by detraction to devour the flesh of your brother.'"—Wisdom of the Desert Fathers *** [...]
The Illinois State Capitol and “Religious Liberty”
Just before Christmas 2021, a baby-Satan was installed next to the Nativity Set in the Illinois State Capitol found in Springfield, IL. Tradition, Family and Property prayed against this event in the Capitol building the very day it happened. Raymond Arroyo on Fox News covered this horrible event with Franklin Graham. What does the Catholic Church think about this? At the gut-level, everyone is disgusted. But let's consider this at a doctrinal level. The "pastoral" (non-dogmatic) Second Vatican Council had a "Declaration on Religious Freedom" called Dignitatis Humanæ. In this document, we read that "the right to religious freedom has its foundation not in the subjective disposition of the person, but in his very nature. In consequence, the right to this immunity continues to exist even in those who do not live up to their obligation of seeking the truth [...]

Why Did God Become Man? A Simple Explanation
Would the Eternal Word have become incarnate if Adam had never sinned? Some religious in the Middle-Ages answered in the negative to this. However, the Franciscans answered in the positive. The latter view would become known as the Absolute Primacy of Christ. I hold to this view, namely, that the Second Person of the Trinity would have indeed become Jesus Christ even if Adam and Eve had never sinned. However, even for those who hold to the Absolute Primacy of Christ (like the Franciscans and me) we clearly assert that the propitiation for our sins was a major reason for the Incarnation. Of course, the Incarnation is when God the Son became a zygote at the Annunciation and was later born a baby of Mary Immaculate at that first Christmas 2021 years ago. This blog post will look specifically at [...]
The Incarnation
“One will be sent in the flesh,” thundered the most beautiful Trinity to the angels and all the courts of heaven eons ago. In perfect harmony they rejoiced. But later they wondered if anyone but a lowly archangel like Raphael (still more glorious than a burning star) could dare condescend again to take flesh as Raphael did for Tobit. Their best guess for the new assignment was Gabriel. God said “Gabriel will go…but in spirit as preparation. One much higher than he will become flesh.” “But how?” the angels wondered, “A cherubim's eyes would melt the trees and mountains. No human warrior's body could even instantaneously hold the power of a seraphim. Who will go in the flesh?” And they intuited through each other like laser beams, seared and alit by the thought of leaving the splendor of heaven for [...]
