Movie Review: The Two Davids.
Two unrelated movies were recently released about my patron, King David. To my surprise, I thought both were phenomenal. I guess I am known as a pretty harsh movie critic, but I really don't think it's that hard to make a Catholic movie. The problem is that nearly every "saint" movie since A Man for All Seasons (1966) and The Passion of the Christ (2004) has turned out to be a shill for the heresy of religious indifferentism (the notion that all religions can get you to heaven.) The acting is usually poor in most "Catholic" movies of the last decade. The theology is even worse. I happily suffered [...]

The True Faith in Latin America.
The modernist ape-of-the-church continues to decline in Latin America. OSV had a headline that read Catholicism down in Latin America, but belief in God remains high. Chris Jackson stated that this headline reads as an "obituary." Why an obituary? Because, as Jackson stated, "this is the true fruit of the post Vatican II missionary strategy. A region formed by Catholic identity is being de Catholicized. The 'nones' rise. Protestantism holds steady or grows modestly in places. Belief in God persists. So the hunger remains, the institutional Church shrinks, and the spiritual vacuum gets filled by whatever is loudest and simplest." In other words, even if satan can't convince Latinos to [...]

Why Men Must Lead Their Families.
This is an inspiring true story of an early Christian family, found in the Victories of the Martyrs, compiled by St. Alphonsus Liguori. Upon the death of the Emperor Diocletian, his successors Galerius and Maximilian continued the persecution against the Christians, and our saints were of the number of those who then obtained the crown of martyrdom. Timothy was a native of the town of Perapus in Thebais, and was so exemplary a Christian that his bishop ordained him lector. He was married to a Christian lady named Maura, only seventeen years of age; and the marriage had been solemnized but three weeks, when Arianus, the governor of the province, [...]

Hermitage: Base of Operations.
As you know, one of the most common complaints against my life is that "hermits shouldn't travel." Besides the fact that my rule of life has 20 days contemplative and 10 days active life approved every month by my superiors, it's important to look at Catholic Church history on the life of contemplatives to see if there's any precedent to my way of life. We're going to go look way back to the First Millennium of Catholicism to the country whence my ancestors come: Ireland. Raymond O'Flynn in Frank Sheed's book The Saints Are Not Sad wrote about an army of Irish and Scottish monks that left their monasteries and [...]

Fatima, Darwin and Liturgy
In my last article, Fatima, Darwin and Dogma, we looked at how Darwinian evolution erroneously led most Catholics of the 20th century to believe dogma could evolve like a species. We saw how this was no small part of Mary's dreaded "errors of Russia." So also, if dogma can change overnight, then the liturgy can morph overnight, too. (Of course, we know that the Bible and the Magisterium make it clear that neither a species nor Divine Revelation can evolve. But one false premise, namely, Darwinian Evolution, can strangely affect even the Holy Mass.) Let's ask an important question: Is tradition a living thing? This is a tricky question. If [...]

Fatima, Darwin and Dogma
The above prelate is Bishop Cuthbert O'Gara, a Canadian-born priest who was a heroic missionary to the Far East in the first half of the 20th century. In 1947, Cuthbert was named bishop of Yuanling in 1947. But in 1951, the holy bishop was arrested by Chinese Communists and imprisoned until his expulsion from the country in 1953. Then, he returned to North America to warn Westerners of the evils of Communism. I only recently learned about him by watching Hugh Owen's Foundations Restored, a Catholic production unveiling the lies of Darwinian Evolution in favor of Biblical creation. Bishop Cuthbert insisted that the teaching of Darwin's evolution was absolutely central [...]
