White Martyrs of Compiègne?

By |2026-08-04T04:21:57+00:00August 4th, 2026|Theology|

What if you "went big" in your self-offering and petitions while suffering for being a traditionalist in the 21st century? Many of you already know the story of the Carmelite nuns who were executed in the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century.  On 17 July 1794, the enemies of the Church led to the guillotine eleven Discalced Carmelite Nuns, three lay sisters and two tertiaries. These holy nuns even went so far as to ask permission of their Mother Superior to die under obedience. They were granted their final request on earth. They offered up their martyrdoms for the Catholic Church and for the end of the [...]

Ecclesiastical Self-Incriminating Struggle-Sessions.

By |2026-07-25T21:50:58+00:00July 28th, 2026|Theology|

The above picture is "the governor of Heilongjiang province, Li Fanwu, falling victim to the Cultural Revolution in 1966," (p/c Inside Story of Australia.) Wikipedia describes the history of Communist Struggle Sessions:  People non-compliant to the Communists "were forced to wear placards around their necks bearing the words 'Counter-Revolutionary Revisionist' or other similar slogans with their names crossed out.   Specific methods of abuse included hair shaving (阴阳头) dunce caps, "jetplane position" (喷气式) (a type of stress position), and verbal and physical attacks... The term 'struggle session' refers to a session of pīdòu (批鬥.) The session is held in public and often attended by a large crowd of people, during which the [...]

From Blue-to-Red Pill… Black-to-White Pill

By |2026-07-23T16:46:28+00:00July 23rd, 2026|Updates|

Recently, I wrote an article called Doctrinal Pitfalls to Each Traditional Group.  The first line explains the basics: “Today we consider intellectual pitfalls to the SSPX, FSSP and sedevacantists, specifically on the topics of the papacy and Vatican II to show no one has the 'Rosetta Stone' to the Church crisis.” I then go on to disprove every trad-stance towards the papacy, including my own. In other words, I finally came to the realization that in this "eclipse of the Church" there will be no perfect answer until God Himself reveals it.  That is why we must do what St. Vincent Lerins proposes, namely, to "cling to antiquity." In some [...]

Doctrinal Pitfalls to Each Traditional Group.

By |2026-07-21T16:14:36+00:00July 21st, 2026|Theology|

p/c NASA. Today we consider the intellectual pitfalls to the FSSP, SSPX and sedevacantists, specifically on the topics of the papacy and Vatican II to show no one has the "Rosetta Stone" to the Church crisis. This is a very long one, but I think you’ll find it worth it if you can find the time to sit down and read it. It’s ultimately to unify—not divide—all the traditional groups under Jesus and Mary.  But we have to start with humility towards each other.  Humility is why you will see that I try to disprove even my own camp of views towards the Church crisis below. But let's start at [...]

This may be the most confusing line in the New Testament:  "Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings."—St. Luke 16:9.  Let's see what the Church Fathers say about it. -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/

Death Penalty for Post-Aborts?

By |2026-07-14T14:01:47+00:00July 14th, 2026|Theology|

p/c Statesman Journal. My answer is "No" to the death penalty for those who have committed abortion, but the abolitionists make a logical argument. Before I get to my answer, let me say I am no softie on abortion. I still try to pray and counsel at the abortion center every other week. I have been arrested for peaceful prayer inside abortion centers on the East Coast twice.  But I am not as extreme as the "abolitionists" and a few Catholics who say that women who have had abortions should receive the Death Penalty. Do people really say such things? Yes. Although NPR is rarely to be trusted, they quoted [...]
