Even the Left Criticizes Modernist Clergy
Notice this tweet from the Catholic Charities of the diocese of Oakland, California and how it had one "like" in 22 hours. Perhaps nobody in the bay area pays attention to the Catholic Church anymore. Or perhaps most Bay Area LGBT folks who are ex-Catholic have no interest in "liking" a group that can't even stand for its own values. In other words, most people (straight or "gay") have no interest in "liking" a liberal branch of a conservative organization such as the Catholic Church. Everybody knows we Catholics traditionally stood for chastity and purity for those who are "straight" and those who struggle with other issues. However, twenty years ago, hypocrisy on the right was more disgusting to liberals than mere stringency in morals. Nowadays, as first amendment rights get eroded away, the leftists of 2021 have proceeded [...]
VLX 71: Humble of Heart
Mt 11:20-24 Support my work here: https://padreperegrino.org/donate/ https://youtu.be/TAk8qDoRr2Y “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 [...]

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
This Act of Reparation was prescribed to be recited on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor (8 May 1928). A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who piously recite the above act of reparation. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is publicly recited on the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Most sweet Jesus, whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence, and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thee, eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject. Mindful, alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of [...]

Propaganda Reveals A Nation’s Personality
The above picture is a 1931 Russian propaganda poster that reads We Smite the Lazy Workers and can still be found in a collection in the Russian State Library in Moscow. Westerners might laugh at the notion of hard-work being a snare to any political system, but Russians always saw life (including manual labor) as communal, not individual, even before communism. Archbishop Fulton Sheen warned hundreds of times that Russia's communism might come to the United States. But what many American Catholics may forget is that Sheen was a Russophile, a great lover of Russia. AB. Fulton Sheen frequently pointed out that Russia's ancient desire for community and Holy Russia's rejection of individualism were precisely the virtues manipulated by the enemy of human nature to establish communism there. Indeed, brainwashing propaganda is always needed entice a population to move towards [...]
