An Aborted Baby Saved by a Paramedic
This is a guest post written by a firemedic and father of a young man I met this year in Arizona who reads this blog. I am a retired captain for the Tucson Fire Department but before this I was a paramedic. It was during this time that I worked one of the most memorable and life changing moments of my career. The incident was on Friday, Sept. 21, 1990. Being my 29th birthday, I'll never forget the most unusual gift I have ever received from The Lord who truly works in mysterious ways. That Friday I arrived to work at Station 10 in the late afternoon. Our shift are 24 hours long but being my birthday I took the first half off to be with family. Once at work, I loaded my gear on Medic 10 and not a [...]
How You Will Know When the Consecration Is Done Properly
Imagine you had a 12 year old son who punched your 10 year old daughter in the face. Let's say that son was very stubborn and you knew getting an apology out of him was going to be difficult. You bring your son and crying daughter into the same room and make him apologize. You know this will be difficult so you give him the exact words: "Say to your sister, 'I am sorry for punching you in the face.'" You know you need to give him those nine exact words because of past subterfuge this stubborn son will play with word games. Your son initially says to his sister who he punched, "I'm sorry... not!" You stare him down because you know this is defiance when you have given him such easy words. He softens a little bit and [...]
A Year After the “Vaccines”…
A friend's friend whose son was trying out for a high school sport in the Pacific Northwest texted him the following notice that came from the athletic board warning their potential high school athletes on upcoming physicals:

Things Come to Life In Death
p/c: Peter Sweden I have always found my spirituality in the Jesuit and Franciscan traditions, maybe also in the Carmelite traditions, too. Personally, I have always found Benedictine spirituality a bit boring when compared to, say, the stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi or the transports of St. Teresa of Avila or St. Peter Claver nursing to life mostly-dead African slaves sliding off boats onto the docks of Cartegena so he can evangelize and eventually baptize them. But as I look at a modern world that spends more time looking at a screen than the sky, listening to YouTube more than family members, laughing at Netflix characters more than with friends, a world of insomnia and floating schedules with no more deadlines, I realize we need to take another look at the Benedictine spirituality of schedules and time to return [...]
VLX 105: Why You Can Trust the Bible
“For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost; and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true. This is the ancient and unchanging faith of the Church, solemnly defined in the Councils of Florence and of Trent, and finally confirmed and more expressly formulated by the Council of the Vatican. These are the words of the last: ‘The Books of the Old and New Testament, whole and entire, with all their parts, as enumerated in the decree of the [...]
Continued Mass Psychosis Formation
One can have truth without love, but one can not have love without truth. Also, even though not all mental illness is directly due to sin, all sin eventually leads to mental illness. Such mental illness now seems to include a large part of a North America's population actually desiring nuclear war. This was something absent even in the Cold War of the 20th century. The below graph reveals that if most people live in mortal sin, then most people will have insane desires: NB I'm not saying that taking the C19 vaccine was necessarily a mortal sin. But I am saying that living in spiritual blindness for years has now led to obvious manifestations of medical blindness and political blindness.
Teaching Playlists on YouTube
My YouTube channel is here. On that channel, I have five "playlists." A "playlist" is a group of videos all linked by a common theme. Each playlist could be seen as a University "course" with each video being a "class." My playlists mostly follow a teaching pattern and they are arranged in a particular order, usually doctrinal in a catechism series or chapter-based in a Gospel series of similar videos. I'd encourage you follow one of these playlists, especially if you have never heard of my podcasts or if you get tired of my Church-reform based blogging here. My videos are not only free to all users, but they are also ad-free. I currently have 5 playlists, some of which have over 100 videos per playlist. You can tap on any of the following links and watch successive videos of the [...]
