TCE 35: Four Years of Purgatory
Theology and Current Events (TCE) #35 is “Four Years of Purgatory” as the Key to Fr. Ciszek. The Catholic Church’s Servant of God Fr. Walter Joseph Ciszek SJ (1904-1984) wrote three books, the second of which is called “He Leadeth Me.” We look at pages 75-81 as a masterpiece of abandonment to Divine Providence in a real and difficult modern circumstance. -Please see my Life-Update and Advent-Appeal here: https://padreperegrino.org/2021/11/adventmessage/ https://youtu.be/17AllrONbKU

The First Week of July 1963
My mother's four grandparents moved from Ireland to Chicago in the first half of the 20th century, so I grew up hearing from extended family and peers what great men Cardinal Bernadin and President Kennedy were. I also graduated Boston College in 2000. So, even though I was raised in Denver, the fact is that Chicago Catholicism and Boston Catholicism are in my bloodstream. I trusted this version of Catholicism. But to rebuild traditional Catholicism and understand who to trust, perhaps we have to expose some of this evil, for St. Paul writes, "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them."—Eph 5:11. The following are very dark events, so proceed reading this blog post only with great discretion. National Geographic writer Patrick Kiger wrote that President John F. Kennedy was a “compulsive womanizer, whose [...]

Advent Message to Benefactors and Listeners
Dear friends, family, readers, listeners and benefactors—both spiritual and material, Ave Maria! I wanted to thank you all for all of your support this past year. First, some great news: My VLX (Patristic Bible Study) and CPX (Catechism of Pope St. Pius X) and TCE (Theology and Current Events) reached it's first year of production about midway through 2021. Across all forums like YouTube and Apple podcasts, it is now getting about a million listens a year! It has been my dream for a long time to teach Scripture and catechesis as a traveling missionary, so this was an answer to a prayer in a roundabout way. I thank God (and you all at a distant second) very much for this. I never would have guessed becoming a missionary through being a diocesan hermit, but Providence works out better than our [...]

The Door to Fatima’s Modesty is Unlocked by Pope Pius XI
In 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to three shepherd children named Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. One of the things they saw in this apparition was demons and humans in hell. At an apparition later that year, 70,000 people (including atheists and communists) saw the miracle of the sun. A few years later, on the topic of modesty, Our Lady of Fatima said to the young visionary Jacinta Marto before her death in 1920: “Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much,” and “Woe to women lacking in modesty,” and “More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” What did she mean by "fashions"? The following papal decree outlining such fashions will probably be deemed "not necessary for salvation" by the same careless Catholics who say [...]
