How Can I Close the House of God?—Fr. Ganni
About four years ago, I said on the phone to my Navy SEAL friend (with whom I did this podcast and this podcast this year) that I feared the rise of militant Islam would persecute Christians in the West again. What he said surprised me, namely that he feared more the rise of secularism in the West as a bigger threat to Catholics. We'll come back to this suggestion halfway through this blog. On the 3rd of June 2007, Trinity Sunday after Pentecost, a 35 year-old Chaldean Catholic priest named Fr. Ragheed Ganni was shot and killed in his home country of Iraq by Muslims for not converting to Islam [...]

QuickPod: Inculturation with SS Cyril and Methodius
What is the difference between true inculturation found in the traditional missionaries who made thousands of converts to Catholicism and the modernist idea of "meeting people where they are at" that only makes temporary converts?

Discerning “The Great Reset” vs. “The Empire of Love”
Michael Matt recently made the point that the Great Reset is not an attack on man as much as an attack on God. As Mr. Matt mentioned here, "even Adolph Hitler paid lip-service to God." Indeed, the architects of the Great Reset like Klaus Schwab want to direct all of humanity in place of God without mention of God. The Great Reset is not only a project of genocide, but also an attempted attack on God Himself. I believe the most common phrase in the entire Bible is "Be Not Afraid." It is in the Bible over 365 times. So, if Christ's message is: "Be Not Afraid" then we must [...]

Catholic Schools, EMS and the Death Jab
In this short podcast, Patrick Coffin describes how the Catholic diocese of Orange, California issued an invitation to a Zoom meeting with an auxiliary bishop and the Superintendent of Catholic schools and two physicians including the President of the Orange Co. Chapter of the American Association of Pediatrics. This was a Zoom meeting originally meant for Catholic parents of Catholic kids (going to Catholic schools) to "ask questions" about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine for their kids. But this Q &A session for Catholic leaders and Catholic parents didn't happen. What did happen on that Zoom meeting, as Mr. Coffin relates, was "a non-stop aggressive sales-tactic with one goal in [...]

Marian Prayer of Bl. Junipero Serra
You may wish to save in your note-app this little-known prayer of a saint to Mary and pray it every day: O Purest Queen of heaven and earth, most perfect work of the Holy Trinity, since from all eternity the Father chose you for His daughter, the Son selected you to be His Mother and the Holy Spirit selected you as His spouse, there could not be the slightest imperfection, not even the smallest shadow of original sin on your soul. As the first fruit of the redemption, your soul was free, beautiful and free from the initial moment of your conception. Receive, O Mother, in virtue of this singular mystery, my [...]
