Is the Theology of Aquinas That Different From St. Paul?

Having come from the charismatic movement before being a traditional Catholic, I still talk to charismatic Catholics and admire some of them. Heavily influenced by the American Pentecostal (Protestant) movement, most charismatic Catholics today have a great devotion for the Apostle Paul. You can't fault them for this. In fact, besides the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Paul is still my favorite saint. Thus, I want readers to see before continuing that there is clearly no problem in having tremendous devotion to the Apostle Paul (the Apostle as many later saints and Popes have dubbed him.) But some charismatic Catholics today can be heard saying things like "I love St. Paul [...]

Above: Cardinal Kurt Koch, p/c Zenit. Jesus Christ said to St. Peter in the Gospel of St. Matthew: And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.—Mt 16:18-19. The above passage is one reason why Pope Pius VI in the 18th century condemned a proto-collegiality that "every Bishop, as much as the Pope, was called by God to govern the [...]

-My Site: https://www.padreperegrino.org The Gospel: While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers and said, “Tell people, His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep. And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day... Now the eleven [...]

This was an update I put on X this last week: I have hope in the future of the Catholic Church, but like Joshua and Caleb, we need two extremely courageous Cardinals. I don't mean decently lukewarm. I mean men who will avoid crafty-strategy in the Conclave and rather adhere with childlike courage in following ALL of traditional Catholicism. And if those men don't exist, I know Christ loves His Church more than me and may send Divine Intervention from an unexpected quarter, even if it's allowing something bad like war or schism. All I know is I need to do more to avoid sin in my own life as [...]

AB. Viganó’s Approach to the Conclave

By Father David Nix|2025-05-02T11:43:34+00:00May 1st, 2025|Theology|

p/c Canon212. Italian Marco Tosatti recently translated an interview granted by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó to Francesco Borgonovo here regarding the upcoming 2025 Papal Conclave. Once again, I find that the only bishop in the world with a supernatural outlook on the crisis in the Church is Archbishop Viganó. I also repeatedly find that none of his enemies are ever able to counter his water-tight logic, except by calling him names like “schismatic.” I will only highlight a few aspects of the above-linked spectacular interview. Below, my commentary will be in orange font. Francesco Borgonovo: Your Excellency, the first question is perhaps the most difficult. Do you still consider yourself [...]

The Angel and the Earthquake at the Resurrection

By Father David Nix|2025-04-24T13:21:45+00:00April 24th, 2025|Theology|

Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified."—Mt 28:1-11 Why was there an earthquake at the Resurrection? Fr. Lapide writes: "Firstly, [...]

The above is M. Chrisman's Easter Vigil fire pit. Today we are going to consider some questions regarding the women of the Resurrection. The Patristic answers will follow. How is it possible that the women had both joy and fear at the tomb? St. Jerome writes: "A twofold feeling possessed the minds of the women, fear and joy—fear at the greatness of the miracle, and joy in their desire for Him that was risen.” Why weren't the women going to the tomb to anoint Our Lord afraid of the Roman soldiers guarding it in the first place? Fr. Lapide gives a surprising answer: "It is very probable that they were [...]
