Three Ages of Martyrs.

By |2026-05-06T18:47:03+00:00May 7th, 2026|Theology|

The men of that [last] generation will have no deeds whatever, but there will come upon them temptation, and those who are worthy in this temptation will be higher than us and our fathers.—St. Ischyrion of Egypt, early Desert Father. Recently, I was thumbing through my friend’s Saint Andrew Daily Missal. The middle of that layman’s missal has a surprising history of the Catholic Church’s saints and martyrs. It describes the early Church saints in these shocking terms: “With very few exceptions, such as St. Gregory the Wonderworker (November 17th), St. Mary Magdalene (July 22nd), St. Martha (July 29th) and St. Petronilla (May 31st) the saints of the first four [...]

Suppressed Feasts from the Old Roman Missal.

By |2026-05-01T16:30:48+00:00May 5th, 2026|Updates|

While visiting some new friends, they brought me to an old chapel in the woods (seen above.) On their altar was a Roman Missal published around 1900.  As I was thumbing through it, I was amazed at numerous feasts that are now suppressed.  I snapped several pictures of these optional feasts. In writing the below article about them, I am not saying the Holy Spirit has been inactive on earth since the 1950s.  But I am saying these beautiful liturgical propers should probably be put back on our Roman calendar by a future Pope, at least granting the priest a possibility of using them as optional propers. Above is the [...]

Why Do We Need Two Judgments?

By |2026-04-30T18:59:39+00:00April 30th, 2026|Theology|

Last week, I got this email, and I was given permission to publish it: What does “judge the living and the dead” really mean? We face particular judgement and that is final (correct?). So what happens to the already dead at the second coming? Especially those in hell? Or, as Tom puts it, Why are You coming to judge the already judged? I feel as though I should know this at my age but alas…drawing a blank. Thank you!!! Here was my response: Yes, so Jesus will judge you at your death as worthy of heaven or hell. But at the end of time, He also comes to judge the [...]

The USCCB’s Bible Translations.

By |2026-04-28T11:06:52+00:00April 28th, 2026|Theology|

One can always detect the preferred heresy of the age by what is removed from the Bible.  So, before we look at the USCCB’s Bible translations, let’s look at two examples of what heretics over the last 500 years have removed from their own versions of the Bible. 1) The Protestant rebels removed Maccabees because of Purgatory.   Maccabees is like the Braveheart of the Old Testament.  It's one of the most exciting books of the Bible, so no one should have removed it.  But the 16th century heretics like Martin Luther removed 1 and 2 Maccabees because it showed Purgatory and the necessity of sacrifice for the dead.  Here's [...]

Love and Respect by St. John Chrysostom.

By |2026-04-23T13:30:42+00:00April 23rd, 2026|Theology|

Many couples have been helped by a book called Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs. It was written in 2004 by Emerson Eggerichs, a non-Catholic but Christian author. Here’s the basic online description: Women primarily need love, whereas men primarily need respect. Husbands and wives are wired differently, so misunderstandings often arise not from malice, but from missing the other’s core need. According to Eggerichs, the “Crazy Cycle” is when a wife feels unloved, she reacts in ways that feel disrespectful to her husband.  In response, he reacts in ways that feel unloving to her, causing a destructive cycle.  The “Energizing Cycle,” on [...]

The Resurrected Bodies of the Elect.

By |2026-04-25T14:01:29+00:00April 21st, 2026|Theology|

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.—St. John 20:19-20. Notice in the above passage about the Resurrection, Christ is able to walk through walls (hence, the doors being locked and yet He comes to the disciples.)  But the reason we know this is not a ghost passing through the walls is precisely because St. John [...]

21 Reasons to Reject ‘Sola Scriptura,’ by Joel Peters.

By |2026-04-07T21:07:16+00:00April 16th, 2026|Theology|

In my last article Debating Protestants, I discussed how and why I used to debate Protestants on a nearly-daily basis with open-Bible verse-wars when I was in my early 20s.  After learning that these verse-wars rarely make converts, I learned the best way to disprove Protestantism is by simply overturning their completely non-Biblical notion of Sola Scriptura. The little pamphlet in the above picture is called Scripture Alone? 21 Reasons to Reject Sola Scriptura by Mr. Joel Peters.  It is the very best book I have ever seen to aid Catholics in immediately sidelining the intellectual errors of Protestantism.  But it's very difficult to find on the internet now. Thus, I [...]
