VLX 53: Jesus Calls Matthew

Replacement Morality and Risk Aversion
One of the effects of Fatima's foreboding "errors of Russia" is women in the workplace, which is tantamount to feminism. Feminism has changed the landscape of Catholic morality not only in specific areas of sterilization, contraception and abortion, but also in general areas of morality. For example, it has flattened any transcendent morality into an imminent morality of paranoid risk aversion. (A woman acting feminine is not the same as acting effeminate, so don't even try to call this a "misogynistic" post.) Last week, I walked out of a semi-enclosed marketplace drinking a cup of coffee. Naturally, the mask was below my chin. As I was about to exit out of two doors, a big 25 year old woman backed away in fear of my maskless face, and changed her mind on holding the door for me (something I guess [...]

How Good Catholic Teens Are Getting Groomed by Online Predators (It’s Not How You Think.)
All parents should watch the below 7-minute video to see not so much how bad girls get trafficked but rather how good girls get trafficked. It is called The Dangers of Social Media (Child Predator Experiment) and it has over 61M views. This channel belongs to Coby Persin who is not a trafficker himself, but is fronting as a trafficker fronting as good teen-boy to meet a good teen girl: https://youtu.be/6jMhMVEjEQg However, unlike the above video, the person on the other end of your kid's FB app is usually not a good-man fronting as a trafficker. Rather, he is a real trafficker. It was brought to my attention twice this past week that Catholic families I know in real life had their teens groomed by online predators. The FBI caught one of the predators in an investigation, and the second situation will hopefully include an [...]
VLX 52: Prayer Method Review
Newcomers and old-tymers can review the prayer methods of St. Bruno and St. Teresa of Avila as a mid-point study-session in our mental prayer series on St. Matthew’s Gospel. I discuss also why we rely so heavily upon the Church Fathers via Fr. Lapide SJ in this VLX series. https://youtu.be/7f9Q7tjYpa0
Catholics Living Taqiyah
Some Catholics hold their private beliefs as different from their public beliefs. It's starting to resemble the Muslim notion of taqiyah (in Arabic above in the featured image.) I thought for a long time that taqiyah was permission from Mohammed to lie about Islam precisely for the promotion of Islam. But the more I studied it, the more I realized that taqiyah is dialing down your own beliefs so as fit into a different culture (at least, until you constitute the majority of a population.) Taqiyah (Arabic: تقیة ) is defined as "a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution...dissimulation by silence or omission...whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion." So, if taqiyah is "dissimulation by silence or omission of ones beliefs so as to [...]

VLX 51: Jesus Heals a Paralytic
Mt 9:1-8 https://youtu.be/W43UcHvbI1I
Better To Light One Candle Than Curse The Darkness
Why would a heretical priest like James Martin be ripping on the Traditional Latin Mass and the few ancient-believing Catholics who take the Gospel of Jesus Christ literally while his team of liberals have already successfully (and illegally) hijacked both the White House and the Vatican? Why would someone with an enormous social-media following like James Martin rip on the likes of Fr. Altman and Fr. Heilman and myself when our team is so small in number? The answer is two fold: First, because James Martin and his band of heretics know that even one candle will prevent his modernist darkness from spreading over the whole globe forever. A heretic like him knows that as long as one person holds the ancient Catholic Faith, it will never go out. Secondly, deep inside a James-Martin-type-person knows that the truth of the [...]
