Our Lady of Guadalupe, Margaret Sanger and Hillary Clinton in March 2009

By |2020-11-01T05:51:53+00:00October 31st, 2020|Theology|

On Thursday, the 26th of March 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Mexico.  The above framed image (on the left) of Mary, the mother of Jesus, was miraculously imprinted by heaven upon the tilma of St. Juan Diego, a 16th century saint in Mexico.  According to a Catholic News Agency (CNA) article Hillary Clinton asked the rector of the Basilica, Msgr. Monroy (in the above picture) "Who painted it?"  He responded, "God."  Hillary Clinton seems to have laughed. (See video at end of blog post.) On Friday, the 27th of March, 2009, the very next day, Hilary Clinton then [...]

TCE 6: Uncut Version: Ex-satanist Discusses Religion and Politicians in 2020

By |2021-03-04T00:22:10+00:00October 27th, 2020|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

A former satanic high-wizard of the World Satanic Church converted and became a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic who now works for the end of abortion. Zachary King speaks about his conversion via the Miraculous Medal and we then walk back through Zachary's life including his youth, entrance into Satan’s World Church, induction as High Wizard, B*hemian Grove, abortions and curses for the Bild*rb*rg Group and the involvement with Gates. We end with what Zachary is doing for the end of abortion (after committing so many himself.) This is an exceptional account of the love of Divine Mercy and an unlikely recruitment into "Mary’s Army" as he describes his new vocation. [...]

Your Bullets: Miraculous Medals (Marian Mission Parish Talk)

By |2020-10-08T13:47:17+00:00October 8th, 2020|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

This is a talk I gave at a parish on the Feast of the Rosary, 2020.  It's about why evangelizing strangers with Miraculous Medals may help save even your own family.  We look at everything from King St. Louis IX to the battle of Lepanto to St. Maximilian Kolbe.

In Mary is the Way and the Truth and the Life?

By |2020-04-04T14:03:18+00:00April 4th, 2020|Theology|

Many good Catholics are often hesitant to share with Protestants the Marian writings of heavily-Marian saints like St. Louis De Montfort and St. Maximilian Kolbe.  I would number myself among such Catholics, at least at initial conversations with Baptists, Pentecostals and "non-dommers."  Our Catholic giants of Marian theology write so much of "surrendering our life to Our Lady" that such vocabulary could be confusing to someone who has already surrendered his or her life to Jesus Christ (as well as Protestants and Catholics alike both should have.) Even the old Divine Office seems to ascribe too much to Mary, the Mother of God.  In the set of Psalms called None [...]

Four Virtues Extolled by Our Lady of Good Success

By |2023-08-29T19:15:11+00:00November 2nd, 2019|Theology|

The featured image above is the blood of martyrs splattered in an Easter bombing this year (2019) in Sri Lanka.  The Gospels hold that for Christ to return in glory, the Church must first suffer a great persecution and an unprecedented apostasy.  Many great saints hold that a physical persecution will also be accompanied by a spiritual persecution that will be unlike even the first years of the Church.  Whereas the early Christians were battling torture instruments, the final Christians would be battling the great apostasy, perhaps within the Church.  Did not Padre Pio himself say that there were no demons left in hell? In these California fires, you may [...]

Science and Religion Part 1: Epistemology

By |2019-09-28T08:01:20+00:00September 28th, 2019|Theology|

Epistemology is the study of how a knower can know things.  It is a study of both the learner (the subject) and the learned topic (the object.) Epistemology is both subjective and objective.  Science, on the other hand, is simply concerned with the learned topic, or the object, and hence we say that the goal of science is to be purely objective via data presented.  Scientia is Latin for "knowledge."  Science is the mind's conformity to reality, not to an agenda.  This also presupposes that the mind, via the five senses, can actually grasp objective truth.  Properly speaking, there is no room for a political agenda or even relativism in true [...]

Why the Restoration of the Catholic Church Must Be Marian

Part I: A Night on the AmbulanceN.B. You can skip Part I if you do not want my real-life account of EMS from 20 years ago that got me thinking about the mystical body of Christ’s “anatomy.” The theology of this blog post is found exclusively in Part II: An Analogy In the Mystical Body.  But Part I here does describe an epic fail in my life... While pre-med at Boston College, I worked as an EMT at night. Upon graduation, I returned back to Denver and went to paramedic school while discerning if I should continue in medicine or if I was in fact called to the Holy Priesthood. [...]
