Is Water Baptism Necessary for Salvation?
Is water baptism necessary for salvation? The first Pope (St. Peter) wrote under inspiration the following: Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to Him.—1 Peter 3:21-22. The Catholic Church has interpreted this as water baptism being ordinarily necessary for salvation. However, there are some extraordinary circumstances to consider. The Church also teaches officially that baptism by blood (martyrdom) is sufficient for salvation if that martyr were to die for Christ even before water baptism. Furthermore, the Catholic Church teaches that baptism by desire is sufficient for salvation if one dies while awaiting [...]

Clone Protocol 66
This is going to be my nerdiest blog-post to-date, but it gets to the priesthood and the current Church crisis. Despite the abysmal acting, I have to admit that I really like the Star Wars prequels (released 1999-2005.) In the third of those three, Revenge of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine orders "Clone Protocol 66" or "Order 66" (see above picture) and Wookieepedia describes it: "Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was a top-secret order identifying all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic. The order was programmed into the Grand Army clone troopers through behavioral modification biochips implanted in their brains, making it almost impossible for the clones to disobey the command to turn against their Jedi Generals." Everybody knows that the Jedi resemble the old-school [...]

Misunderstandings of Diabolical Activity
As you know, I am not an exorcist. But I do know enough about the supernatural (God and the angels) and the preternatural (demons) to correct some common misperceptions that I am hearing from even good Catholics these days. For example: 1) This group is so evil—do you think they're possessed? and 2) Can you do an exorcism on this misled family member of mine? Question #1: This group is so evil—do you think they're possessed? Answer: Many people seem to forget that mortal sin is worse than diabolical possession. While it is true that many traditional Catholics are right to be shocked at the level of evil living unabashed across the entire globe, I fear that many good Catholics forget that mortal sin is when evil possesses your soul (albeit in a depersonalized way) whereas demonic possession is [...]

How To Assist Someone in Making an Act of Perfect Contrition
Under all these continued lockdowns, I believe the below video might be the most underrated thing on YouTube. It's Fr. Philip Wolfe FSSP describing how to assist someone in making an act of perfect contrition. Most people would find it quite a show-stopper to learn that the Catholic Church teaches that a person dying in original sin (like a Muslim or Jew) or a person in mortal sin (like a Catholic who has not been to confession in a decade) can still be saved by God with only a layman at his deathbed! It is so important as more priests and sacraments are cancelled and as hospitals double-down on vaccine-status against family members and active priests to watch this short video on how to guide anyone (including yourself) through making an act of perfect contrition in one's heart and [...]
If Evolution is True, We’re Just Walking Meat-Sacks
If evolution is true (directed by God or not) then why do modernist Catholics speak so much of "human dignity"? Human dignity shouldn't be "a thing" if we're descended from apes. Yet most of the modern Popes and Cardinals and bishops for the past 50 years have promoted a directed evolution (an evolution directed by God) while paradoxically pushing "human dignity" with barely any references to Divine Revelation. I think modernists truly believe both in evolution and "human-dignity," but they also seem to think this is a strategic approach to evangelization: If we talk about science and humans, we'll win the smart, young people. Unfortunately, the stats show the opposite: Countless scientists (including David Gelernter, a Jewish professor of computer science at Yale University) mathematically disproved Darwinian evolution here. Furthermore, I recently saw a Catholic website explaining how many young people [...]
