Nuchurch’s “Counter-Syllabus” of Errors.

By Father David Nix|2023-10-31T19:22:24+00:00October 31st, 2023|Theology|

With providential foresight, Pope Pius IX (top left) saw in the 19th century the heresies that would come upon the Church in the 20th century. So, in 1864, he wrote the Syllabus of Errors. Over one hundred years later, Cardinal Ratzinger (top right, before he was Pope) unfortunately admitted that Vatican II was "a Counter-Syllabus" of Errors. By this, he meant Vatican II was good and the Syllabus' condemnation of heresies was bad, or at least outdated. This is found in his book Principles of Catholic Theology. More specifically, Cardinal Ratzinger said Gaudium Et Spes was a Counter-Syllabus. He meant Catholics needed to get with the times in making peace [...]

Unless you are a practicing Catholic living in the Great Lakes region of the USA, you probably do not know that an approved Marian apparition happened in the 19th century in Wisconsin. The name of this apparition is Our Lady of Champion, and it was deemed “Worthy of Belief” by the Authority of the Catholic Church and also in 2016 by Bishop Ricken of Green Bay, WI. Adele Brise was a girl born in Belgium in 1831. As a young girl, she lost her sight in her right eye due to an accident. Later, her family moved to Wisconsin with other Belgian settlers. When she was walking through the forest [...]

As I have written before, narcissism is more than just vanity. For example, the male models in the comedy movie Zoolander are vain. But alas, Derek Zoolander is not smart enough to be a narcissist. (I don't suggest anyone watch a movie as immoral as that, but it was a young-adult favorite of my friends and me.) True narcissism includes much more than the silly vanity of a Hansel McDonald. Due to low self-esteem, the real narcissist begins to manipulate those in his life with calculated gaslighting. Gaslighting is also an over-used term today. It doesn't mean simply winning a debate using evidence. (Evidence is always the pathway to the [...]

YouTube Re-Education Camp

The above is a screenshot from my YouTube channel. But only the content-creator (myself) can see the above "warning" within the internal dashboard. This has been perpetually present since I made a video against the Covid-19 "vaccine" in 2021. It was a content violation, a thought-crime. But to lose the "warning" I just learned (Oct 2023) that I can to take a certain "training" from YouTube (YT.) Hence, I call this blog post, "YouTube Re-Education Camp." I figured this would be like any multiple-choice continuing education that uses questions to surreptiously teach their own skewed worldview. But YT's level of pro-abortion indoctrination in the training I took this month was [...]

Teaching Hell: Fearmongering or Negligence?

By Father David Nix|2023-10-05T12:09:38+00:00October 17th, 2023|Theology|

One of the most heretical things I hear from neo-con non-trads is: "While hell is a real possibility, we do not know if any person has ever gone there." That's as irresponsible as telling teens, "Yes, we know car accidents are a real possibility, but we have no proof anyone actually dies in car wrecks." Of course, the neo-con non-trad would respond to the above paragraph by saying, "Well, I do believe there have been fatal car accidents, but we have no proof in the Magisterium that any humans have ever gone to hell." First of all, Jesus spoke about hell and those who have gone there (including Judas—by name) [...]

Evacuated From Israel

By Father David Nix|2023-10-13T00:13:29+00:00October 12th, 2023|Life|

We landed on 7 Oct 2023 in Tel Aviv, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. As most of you know, this feast commemorates the Naval defeat of the Turks by the European armies after Pope St. Pius V got all of Europe praying the Rosary for a miraculous defeat. That is exactly what was granted. But just before landing in Tel Aviv five hundred years later, one boy (of our group of 60 pilgrims) saw in the distance smoke coming up from the Gaza Strip from the initial strikes at the beginning of the war. As we landed, an Israeli woman next to me helped me interpret the [...]

The Three Grades of the TLM

By Father David Nix|2023-10-13T16:13:57+00:00October 12th, 2023|Theology|

The three grades (so to speak) of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) are listed in order of ascending solemnity: Low Mass: In this Mass, a lay person will probably just hear the priest whisper the Roman Canon without a choir or any chanting. The above featured-image is me offering Holy Mass at a side altar in Portugal. Notice that I have a server in that picture, but I never have a server in my hermitage for my daily low Mass. Only two candles are lit upon the altar, whether the priest has a server or not. Of course, in a low Mass it is still God the Son offering Himself [...]
