Are Muslims Converting En Masse?

By Father David Nix|2025-01-03T14:09:05+00:00January 2nd, 2025|Theology|

p/c NYT and Jose Sachin on X New Orleans was the target of Muslim terrorism New Year's Eve, just two nights ago, as seen in the news above. At least ten people were killed and over 30 were injured. As this was on Bourbon Street, no one is considering the revelers to be Christian martyrs. But it's a grim reminder that a Muslim (according to the Quran) gets brownie points for killing infidels. Muslims kill many Christian all over Africa, the Middle-East and the Far East every day. Their blood is bearing fruit. Perhaps the actual Muslim terrorists are not converting, but other more moderate Muslims across the globe [...]

Biden and Thomas on the Natural Law

By Father David Nix|2024-12-31T14:23:09+00:00December 31st, 2024|Theology|

Recently, I watched an excellent documentary called Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words. That movie includes the 1991 Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings where Clarence Thomas had to defend himself against the false-accusations of Anita Hill in regards to verbal sexual harassment. Most people in the 1990s were fascinated by the racy language surrounding things like "Long Dong Silver" and other odd statements from Hill. But what I found most interesting in the movie was that the then-Senator Joe Biden tried to hang Clarence Thomas on these false-accusations mainly because the Democrats were afraid Thomas was going to vote against abortion if he were elected to the Supreme Court.

We are rounding the end of 2024 this week. At the beginning of 2024, I wrote an article called Marian Devotion in a Church-Eclipse. In it, I gave readers the negative reasons as to why Mary was our only guide to orthodoxy in an unprecedented era of compromised visibility due to a heretical hierarchy afflicting the true Catholic Church. ("Visibility" is a normative mark of the true Church. It usually refers to the hierarchy. Yet many traditionalists now believe we are in an eclipse of that visibility, as predicted by Our Lady of La Salette, due to all the scandals both doctrinal and moral.) But today, I am going [...]

Christmas Eve’s Roman Martyrology

By Father David Nix|2024-12-24T20:13:43+00:00December 24th, 2024|Theology|

The Roman Martyrology is a definitive history of various Catholic saints listing about twenty martyrs a day from the early Church. Each martyr receives about one sentence, so it only takes two minutes a day to read. But Christmas Eve has a very unique beginning to its daily martyrs, as it also contains the history of the entire world leading up to the birth of Christ. These words are sung during Midnight Mass, as you will quickly recall: In the year, from the creation of the world, when in the beginning God created heaven and earth, five thousand, one hundred and ninety-nine; from the flood, two thousand, nine hundred and [...]

Padre Pio and Vatican II

By Father David Nix|2024-12-19T16:55:51+00:00December 19th, 2024|Theology|

Padre Pio lived from 1887 to 1968. This modern saint appears to many serious Catholics as if he were the last non-martyr saint. Why? Because he seems to be the last with apostolic miracles, apostolic faith and only the ancient sacraments at his belt—not to mention heaven's own approbation with extremely rare gifts like the stigmata, bilocation, healing and even raising the dead. Padre Pio is in a different galaxy of holiness than say, Carlo Acutis. (I'm sure that boy was a nice kid, but if all it takes to get "canonized" is to run a Catholic website, then even losers like me are going to be shoe-ins for the [...]

More Christian Tools to Help with the Narcissist

p/c Jeffrey Bruno at Helpers' Prayer Vigil at Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. As most of you know by now, the narcissist is not so much epitomized in the person seeking vain-glory, as the person who manipulates others so as to obtain an unearned vain-glory. In the heart of the narcissist, there is usually an arrogance which often appears as meekness. However, this is to cover a deep-seated insecurity. The exorcist Fr. Ripperger has demonstrated this is also the false victim-mentality frequently found in both demons and Marxists. My advice on Christian Boundaries for Narcissists has normally been to Grey-Rock them. To "Grey Rock" a person is basically to ignore them. [...]

Or, more specifically: What Does a Future Traditional Pope Do With Vatican II? First we must tackle these two questions: Was Vatican II inspired by the Holy Spirit? and/or Did Vatican II come from God? Before people get nervous about my answer, please realize that I'm going to give three answers and only eliminate one of those three as illogical. Here's the three answers to the two above questions in bold: Yes, Vatican II entirely came from God in the 1960s. Kind of—some aspects of Vatican II came from God and some didn't. It was unfortunately weaponized ambiguity and so we have to sift out the errors and keep the [...]

In this last quarter of 2024, we have bumped up against the threat of thermonuclear war several times. As everyone knows, every government contingency following the release of a single ICBM nuclear warhead always leads to mutually assured destruction for up to 90% of humanity. We have been bracing for this since the scamdemic, so I don't want to cry wolf. But we do need to review our theology in light of global politics again. Theologically, we must remember only one thing will get the Church (and subsequently the world) back on-track: A traditional Pope who validly consecrates Russia (and Russia alone) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (with all [...]

Divinations and omens and dreams are folly, and like a woman with labor pains the mind has fancies. Unless they are sent from the Most High as a visitation, do not give your mind to them. For dreams have deceived many, and those who put their hope in them have failed.—Sir 34:5-7. Recently I saw some news: A large Catholic company hired a rabid pro-abort to do some voice-overs. When the Catholic CEO was challenged on this decision by mainstream Catholic media, the CEO said publicly, “It’s something we have discerned intensely” and “this is what God is calling us to do” and even added “we prayed deeply through this [...]

Three Things to Learn From Sirach

By Father David Nix|2024-12-02T12:25:21+00:00December 3rd, 2024|Theology|

One who trusts others too quickly is lightminded, and one who sins does wrong to himself. One who rejoices in wickedness will be condemned, and for one who hates gossip evil is lessened. Never repeat a conversation, and you will lose nothing at all. With friend or foe do not report it, and unless it would be a sin for you, do not disclose it; for some one has heard you and watched you, and when the time comes he will hate you.—Sir 19:4-9. Let's consider a few lines passage from the Sirach 19 (a book found on in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, not Protestant ones) and see what [...]
