Propane Tanks and Miraculous Medals
If I make it to heaven, I will probably lose the glory for any good work that I bragged about. At least that's what seems clear when Our Lord says at the beginning of chapter 6 of St. Matthew: Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father Who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.—Mt 6:1-2. But [...]

Kamala Harris Links Griswold to Obergefell
https://rumble.com/embed/v1yf6zg/?pub=e5jg1 In the above 60-second clip (or here if you're on a mobile device) the unelected-squatter to the office of Vice-President, Kamala Harris says, "Let us think about today, December 13th, 2022, a day when—thanks to Democrats and Republicans—we finally protect marriage rights in federal law. For millions of LGBTQI+ Americans and interracial couples, this is a victory, and it is part of a larger fight. The Dobbs decision reminds us that fundamental rights are interconnected, including the right to marry who you love, the right to access contraception and the right to make decisions about your own body." The silly thing about Kamala's words is that "gay marriage" was [...]

A Dumpling Story
I went out with a Filipino friend for Korean dumplings today and our server was a 30-year-old woman who barely spoke English. I gave her a Miraculous Medal (with a chain on it, of course) and explained that it was Mary the mother of Jesus, and Jesus promises lots of graces for anyone who wears it. She happily accepted it and she told me she was a Catholic. I asked if she was a Korean (thinking that, since there are lots of Korean Catholics and because we were in a Korean restaurant.) She told me she was Mongolian. Now, I've met Catholics from all over the world, but this truly [...]

How to Conquer Temptation Immediately, by St. Alphonsus
PATIENCE UNDER TEMPTATION & THE MEANS OF CONQUERING With what arms are we to fight temptations in order to conquer? by S. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop & Doctor of the Church The first and principal, and I may say the only, and absolutely necessary means for conquering temptations, is to have recourse to God by prayer. This means is particularly necessary for conquering temptations against purity; In temptations it is also very useful to make the Sign of the Cross. The second means of conquering temptations is to humble yourself, and to distrust your own strength. Thus let us humble ourselves, and at the same time let us have recourse with [...]

QuickPod: Fr. Pavone Put What on His Altar?
Fr. Pavone Put What on His Altar? Nota Bene: If it was just a table, it proves my point even more that there is nothing wrong with putting an unborn baby on display to bring more people to the pro-life vote. https://rumble.com/embed/v1yp5d2/?pub=e5jg1

The “Deposit of the Faith” and “the Mode in Which It is Announced.”
Most liberal Catholics will happily admit that the Catholic hierarchy began to openly espouse a new data set of doctrinal points in the 1960s. (Many traditional Catholics—including myself—would ironically agree with this.) But there's a group of Catholics between the liberals and the traditionalists that will say something like, "No, no. Vatican II did not teach a new dogma. Vatican II simply taught us how to transmit the constant dogmas of the Catholic Church in a manner that is now packaged in a new way to accommodate the sensitivities of modern man." Fair enough. This is the teaching of many neo-con Catholics and it's essentially what I espoused in seminary [...]

The Left is a Cult (in Both Church and State)
https://rumble.com/embed/v1v433u/?pub=e5jg1 In the late 1990s, I was an EMT. (I was not yet a paramedic, for that would come two years later when I returned to my hometown of Denver.) Living in Boston from 1996-2000, I brought pediatric patients in an ambulance to Boston Children's Hospital. It was the number-one Children's Hospital in the world, long before it had gender-mutilating clinics against children. I went to Boston in the late 1990s thinking it was a pretty Catholic city. Little did I know that the Spotlight scandals of decades of priests molesting children would explode shortly after I graduated pre-med from a Jesuit University, Boston College, in 2000. On 22 Nov [...]
