Vaccines: The Sacred Cow of Catholics.
The above is a coin minted by the Vatican in 2022. On it, we see a young masked boy receiving the covid shot. In a tweet back in 2022, Miss Diane Montagna quoted the Vatican, saying this was “a theme very close to Pope Francis’ heart… the need to be vaccinated… he has repeatedly stressed the importance of vaccination … it is important to continue efforts to immunize even the poorest peoples.” As you can see in the picture next to it, that €20 coin sells for €180 on the Vatican website. Now in 2025, Mr. John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough MD release a new book titled Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology and Reality. The Amazon description of their new book reveals that blind trust in vaccines is nothing short of idolatry: The word “vaccine” derives from the Latin word for [...]
Immaculate Conception Sermon.
This is part of the Sunday Sermon Series (SSS) for 2026, beginning Advent of 2025. Sermons will be released on Saturday evenings in anticipation for Sunday Mass. On some big feasts (like the Immaculate Conception and Christmas) the feast sermon will replace my Sunday sermon. -See 238 infallible dogmas here: https://www.padreperegrino.org/2022/10/infallible/
Ecclesial Exigent Circumstances
Above-left is Pope John Paul II with Cardinal Slipyj (p/c OnePeterFive) and above-right is Archbishop Telesphore George Mpundu with Bishop Anthony Ward (p/c Cathinfo.) I was an EMT for two years and a paramedic for two years. A paramedic has about 10x the training of an EMT. An EMT does Basic Life Support (BLS) and a paramedic is authorized for pre-hospital Advanced Life Support (ALS.) One of the things I say looking back on that chapter of my life is this: “A good EMT follows the guidelines. But a good paramedic knows when to go above the guidelines.” Notice I call them “guidelines” instead of “rules” since breaking rules just makes you a rebel. Notice also I used the verb “goes above” instead of “breaking” since we are called to go above—not below—the basics of pre-hospital medical parameters. In the [...]

Advent First Sunday Sermon.
This is my first sermon for a re-started series called "Sunday Sermon Series." I first tried this series in 2024, but today is the first sermon for a new 2026 playlist as we begin a new liturgical year this evening. I will try to finish up the year of weekly sermons here. Future sermons for Sundays and certain feasts will be found under a YouTube playlist called "SSS 2026" or here on audio, but interspersed with other podcasts between sermons.
Thanksgiving with the Romeros

Portare Manipulum Fletus et Doloris.
On 15 November 2025, I tweeted: There seems to be two types of trads now alive in 2025: 1) Those who believe the Catholic Church is the unique mode of salvation established by Jesus Christ. These want 8 billion people alive today to come to God with as minimal dogmatic scandals as possible from the hierarchy. 2) Those who do not say explicitly, but imply nonetheless, the following: "The whole world can go to hell with Rome, as long as I get my local Latin Mass." I'm sorry, but I can't see how a fraction of Christian charity exists in the latter group. All I meant by that tweet is that traditional Catholics should not have to choose between defending traditional doctrine and traditional liturgy. But that tweet surprisingly went viral and brought out untold levels of rage from rad-trads [...]
Ten Signs You Might Belong to a Cult.
The above left picture is Msgr. Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue, a former Augustinian who was born and raised in Peru. Msgr. Coronado taught me Canon Law at St. John Vianney seminary in Denver, CO. I still communicate with him frequently. The top right is Ana María Quispe Díaz, a woman whom Coronado canonically represented in his home country of Peru after she accused a different priest of abusing her when she was a minor. Msgr. Gene Gomulka, another canceled priest with whom I communicate in real life, writes the following about the two people in the above pictures: The three Peruvian abuse victims who accused Pope Leo of covering up their abuse were represented by Msgr. Ricardo Coronado, who also defended other victims who claimed that various Peruvian bishops, members of the Episcopal Conference of Peru, covered up abuse reported in their [...]

RCT 70: Penance 1.
The Roman Catechism of Trent (RCT) p. 278-286. The Sacraments, ep. 22. -My Site: https://www.padreperegrino.org -Ex-gangster Dominic Morrow was shot and went to hell. But God gave him another chance on earth when he was resuscitated. Even though he is not Catholic, he is now a Christian, and his description of hell lines up well with the old-school Catholic mystics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJShDqxM1E -15 Mortal Sins most miss: https://www.padreperegrino.org/2019/08/mortalsins/
