Fatima, Portugal and Abortion

By Father David Nix|2022-05-11T17:36:58+00:00February 16th, 2021|Theology|

In 1917, towards the end of World War I, Mary (the Mother of God) appeared to three shepherd children (including the future Sr. Lucia) in the small town of Fatima, Portugal to speak of God's honor, the Rosary, the state of the Church, the state of Communism that was coming and heaven and hell. There were three secrets that had to do with: 1. A vision of souls in hell. 2. The Immaculate Heart of Mary and the annihilation of nations. 3. "In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc." That third secret was written down by Sr. Lucia later in her convent. Many people have [...]

Prayer part 11 in the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X (CPX) p. 56 Q/A #7-11. Was it sappy poetry or philosophically true when Archbishop Fulton Sheen wrote of Mary that she was “the Woman whom even God dreamed of before the world was made”? https://youtu.be/Y8UxEvsufuA

Real Union Within the Catholic Church

By Father David Nix|2022-05-11T17:33:45+00:00February 11th, 2021|Theology|

With all these accusations of "schismatic" and "conspiracy theorist" being hurled from normy Catholics to traditional Catholics, let's see what St. Thomas Aquinas has to say: “The sin of unbelief, which fundamentally severs a man from the unity of the Church, simply speaking, makes him to be utterly unfit for receiving this sacrament of the Eucharist because it is the sacrament of the Church's unity.”—St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica 3.80.5ad2 This means that sins against the Deposit of the Faith unchanged from Apostolic times is more what separates a Catholic from worthiness to receive the Eucharist than fighting for reform within the hierarchy. (In fact, fighting for Church reform comes from [...]

Replacement Morality and Risk Aversion

By Father David Nix|2021-02-09T05:53:24+00:00February 9th, 2021|Theology|

One of the effects of Fatima's foreboding "errors of Russia" is women in the workplace, which is tantamount to feminism. Feminism has changed the landscape of Catholic morality not only in specific areas of sterilization, contraception and abortion, but also in general areas of morality. For example, it has flattened any transcendent morality into an imminent morality of paranoid risk aversion. (A woman acting feminine is not the same as acting effeminate, so don't even try to call this a "misogynistic" post.) Last week, I walked out of a semi-enclosed marketplace drinking a cup of coffee. Naturally, the mask was below my chin. As I was about to exit out [...]

Life Update 2021.02.08

Three things today: 1. My PO Box went down but it is now back in business. You can find it on my donate page. 2. Two unexpected diversions to my normal life of prayer was when a) a Catholic filmmaker invited several of us priests out for a super-charging retreat to his place in California... Mel Gibson, myself and Fr. Jim Altman spent four days in Southern California at Mel's place with a few other priests in January 2021. ...and b) after a wedding in Dallas I got to spend a morning (and later) an evening with Dr. Taylor Marshall: 3. Please note that even though I'll be [...]

How Good Catholic Teens Are Getting Groomed by Online Predators (It’s Not How You Think.)

All parents should watch the below 7-minute video to see not so much how bad girls get trafficked but rather how good girls get trafficked. It is called The Dangers of Social Media (Child Predator Experiment) and it has over 61M views. This channel belongs to Coby Persin who is not a trafficker himself, but is fronting as a trafficker fronting as good teen-boy to meet a good teen girl: https://youtu.be/6jMhMVEjEQg However, unlike the above video, the person on the other end of your kid's FB app is usually not a good-man fronting as a trafficker. Rather, he is a real trafficker. It was brought to my attention twice this past week that Catholic families [...]
