At last two came forward and said, “This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are [...]

How To Detach While Loving People

By |2024-08-08T00:41:22+00:00August 8th, 2024|Theology|

Lay folks are getting more and more into Carmelite theology.  And that is a great thing.  Carmelite theology is all about detaching from creatures in order to attach to the Creator.  For a Carmelite priest like St. John of the Cross, this was ascetically difficult but strategically simple:  Detaching from creatures will automatically make a soul in grace cling more closely to the Creator.  Thus, a monk can live alone with The Alone. What Eastern Rite Christians call askesis is to detach from all creatures (people, food, pets, comforts, pleasures, locations) in order to go deeper into the prayer life. Some of the greatest authors on this topic of ascetical theology [...]

Tucker Stumbles Across Fatima

By |2024-08-06T13:30:14+00:00August 6th, 2024|Theology|

Tucker Carlson recently had on his show the former Navy-man Jack Posobiec. Jack frequently attends the Traditional Latin Mass.  Tucker seems to be on his way to Catholicism, or at least is taking his Christianity very seriously these days.   I set the time stamp in the above video around 1:43:00 in a chapter called "The Subversion of Christianity." Part of their conversation goes like this: Jack: "And so maybe the fact that communism kills 100 million people actually is the point of communism. And it's not equality, justice, diversity, DEI, peace, land, bread... What if the point actually is the killing?" Tucker: "And maybe if the victims are disproportionately [...]

Why Peregrinatio and Hermitage Are Not Oxymorons

By |2024-08-04T23:02:44+00:00August 4th, 2024|Life|

Some people debate online if I'm a hermit because I asked to leave parish life or because I was kicked out of so many parishes.  The fact is that I asked to leave parish life because I wasn't willing to fight with lay "Eucharistic Ministers" about their lack of Eucharistic vigilance.  The problem is that I thought the next Novus Ordo parish would magically have more care for the Eucharist.  Of course, I was wrong. Thus, I switched entirely to the old seven sacraments.  The pain of the battle in the Novus world led to the glory of now using all the ancient rite sacraments—which I would not give up [...]

Reason and Order Discouraged in US Seminary?

By |2024-08-01T15:11:28+00:00August 1st, 2024|Theology|

And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.—Isaiah 3:4 Today, we're going to consider at who is allowed in a US seminary (the 6-7 year long post-graduate school where celibate men study for the Roman Catholic Priesthood.)  But this article is not going to be macho.  I am not going to argue for Catholic seminarians to weight-lift (admittedly a good idea) or know how to handle a firearm (also good idea) or to learn how to stave off feminism at their future parish (yet another good idea.)  What worries me is that the very basics of male psychological health are being suppressed [...]
