The above picture is from the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora in Miami on a recent trip. A Cuban family brought me to this museum, and it was one of the most spectacular and historically-accurate museums I have ever visited. I learned a lot about fortitude in the priesthood there. This will hopefully be demonstrated in this article. Upon entering, I was surprised to see ¡Viva Cristo Rey! at the entrance to the Cuban museum. I wasn't only surprised to see a promotion of Christ in a seemingly-secular museum, but also surprised because I thought ¡Viva Cristo Rey! was the exclusive war cry of Mexican Catholics in the Cristero [...]
Even JP2's Veritatis Splendor tackles the modernist heresies of moral theology called "consequentialism" and "proportionalism." These two errors "claim to draw the criteria of the rightness of a given way of acting solely from a calculation of foreseeable consequences deriving from a given choice." He continues that proportionalism "weighs the various values and goods being sought, focuses rather on the proportion acknowledged between the good and bad effects of that choice, with a view to the 'greater good' or 'lesser evil' actually possible in a particular situation."—Veritatis Splendor #75. In fact, Veritatis Splendor quotes Christ telling the rich young man that to be saved, he first must keep the commandments. [...]

Sermon from Fr. David Nix on the 5th Sunday After Pentecost on 1 Pet 3 and Luke 15. Music bumpers by Enrique Aguilar.
One of the hazards in growing up in a Protestant nation like the USA is that our theology is suffused with dispensationalism and odd evangelical movies. Because of this, many American Christians (including Catholics) picture Jesus as a hippie with no concern for the moral law. The Pharisees, on the other hand, are portrayed as the people of the First Century in Israel who were overly-concerned with the Commandments and the Jewish law. Indeed, many Christian movies make Jesus out to be the beatnik who dissolved the moral law while the Pharisees were not only hypocrites, but even bad for thinking the Commandments mattered. The Church Fathers, however, paint a [...]
p/c American Nurse Journal. What does the Catholic Church teach about DNRs and Ventilators? I have had an article go viral recently on the topic of bioethics. Many in the pro-death world were shocked by my words and tried to counter me. Such people were easy to disprove because I sourced secular links into my articles, showing what even non-Christian surgeons were admitting about euthanasia. On the other hand, some people in the pro-life world misunderstood the difference between ordinary care (required by the Catholic Church) and extraordinary care (not always required by the Catholic Church because it's often disproportionate to what can be accomplished.) Their over-reaction in going even [...]

p/c sjvcenter.org In Priest Psych Unit: Part 1, I gave an introduction to what happens to Catholic priests who are sent to psychological behavioral centers. Some men request a sabbatical there. But other priests (usually the conservative ones) are sent there by a bishop to break them of their orthodoxy (usually hung on the red-herring of "rigorism" or "scrupulosity.") Today, I interview a priest in the latter category. In the below interview, he will go by the pseudonym of "Fr. Paul." However, he is a friend of mine and he is a priest from a different diocese who was sent away for "treatment." Before this interview, let me give a [...]
