Oath Against Modernism
As many priests are being told they must take oaths in favor of ecumenism, I hereby take the oath against modernism that Pope St. Pius X asked all priests to take: I, Fr. David Nix (above) firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church, especially those principal truths which are directly opposed to the errors of this day. And first of all, I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world (see Rom. 1:19), that is, from the [...]

On American Canceled Priests.
What is a canceled priest? A canceled priest is defined as one canceled for an unjust reason. Thus, the rest of this article does not refer, for example, to priests in prison for harming children. Rather, it applies to solid priests canceled by their bishops for being too conservative… nay, too Catholic. A man named Paul in New England recently wrote me: Could you do a Substack article on how priestly employment works? Can't the canceled priest be hired by a willing dioceses? Or are they black balled? Can a priest transfer to a different dioceses? Can a group of Catholics hire a priest to live in their area? There [...]

Gen Z Has Rejected Vatican II
Before we get to what young Americans want from their Catholic parishes, let's see what old people want. Rachel Maddow of MSNBC recently stated: “I was born and raised in a conservative Catholic family. After having not considered myself [Catholic] for some time, I do consider myself to be back in the faith." She credited this "to Pope Francis and his message of not just empathy but solidarity with immigrants the world over." Democratic politician Christopher Hale then added: "Coming out as a lesbian in her youth, Maddow had drifted from the Church for nearly 30 years. But now, she said, Pope Leo’s witness on issues like immigration has drawn her [...]

When Someone Disrespects the Holy Name.
Sunday was the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus and this was my sermon. The main thrust of my sermon was that when you use the name of Jesus appropriately, you will attract angels and deflect demons. Inversely, when you use the name of Jesus inappropriately, you will deflect angels and attract demons. Basically, your entire spiritual environment changes based on how you use the most Holy Name of Jesus. In that sermon, I forgot to mention what I do when I hear people abuse the Holy Name. Maybe it was providential I forgot to say that part of my talk, because now I can write an article here [...]

Back to Basics
The above is my Paris Metro card from 1997. It was the subway pass I used to get around the city while I studied at the University of Paris as a 19 year old. Yes, the above is me as a 19 year old, not a 12 year old. I weighed about 100 lbs and had to shave maybe once a month. Walking the lonely streets of Paris, I had almost no friends. I was once mugged at knifepoint by a Muslim while talking to my own mother back in the states in a phone-booth. One day after that, I walked into a Catholic bookstore and I saw the autobiography [...]
