A “Mayan Mass” and the Dialectic of Racism
The website The Communist defines Dialectical Materialism as the Marxist attempt "to understand the laws of society and nature in order to change them." For most countries in which Communism was briefly "successful" (and by "successful" I mean killing tens of millions of their own citizens while making an elite few rich) the events took place by fabricating tension in a society on the basis of economic differences between different strata of society. This was how Marxists in Russia began the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. But in the United States, this was a harder task for the communists (and now globalists) because our country was founded on a remarkable mobility [...]

VLX 160: Mt 27:27-31. A Crown of Thorns.
-The temple mount is not where the world thinks it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tzom66XhZ8 -STV: https://spiritustv.com/@padreperegrino -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: “Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the [...]

Forgiveness vs. Reconciliation
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.—Jesus crucified in St. Luke 23:34. And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.—St. Stephen, Protomartyr in Acts 7:60. On Dr. Taylor Marshall's show, he and I discussed Narcissism in 2023. On that episode, we discussed the importance of saying "I'm sorry" and "I forgive you." After that show, I heard an excellent talk by an exorcist where he explained that small offenses should be forgiven without formal reconciliation. For medium offenses, the victim should still forgive the offender [...]

Diversionary Scapegoating in the Catholic Church
The top-left is the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex-offender who was the nexus point for many elite celebrities before his death. The top-right is Former-Cardinal Theodore Edgar McCarrick, a convicted sex-offender who was also the nexus point for many elite bishops before he was laicized. There are many commonalities between the two criminals besides child-abuse. The crossover we are going to discuss today is something I label "Diversionary Scapegoating." Diversionary Scapegoating is when a delinquent group conveniently blames all of its crimes on one person (a criminal already busted) so as to divert the public's eyes from the criminal activity of that very same group. In regards to [...]

A Sociology Lesson Outside the Two Masses
Many years ago, before I entered seminary, I remember hearing about a conservative priest who went to dinner at the home of his more progressive parishioners. Before or after dinner, one of the spouses said to the priest, "Why don't you relax and take your collar off?" The priest replied, "Why don't you relax and I keep the collar on?" I thought that was quite a funny zinger when I heard the story about 25 years ago. But now I wonder why a conservative priest would ever spend time with progressive parishioners unless his goal was to convert them. And I don't think talking to them that way is going [...]

Would Kamala’s Persecution Have Benefited Christians?
Yesterday, on the 6th of November 2024 at 2:24 EST, Mr. Donald Trump was officially predicted to be the President of the United States for the third time (2016, 2020 and 2024.) The middle of those was obviously stolen. Yes, I am a 2020 "election-denier." But that is not the topic of today's article. The topic of today's article (only to be tackled in the second half of this article) is to evaluate the assertion that certain Catholics (from left to right on the spectrum of theology and politics) have made, namely, that it would have been better for Kamala to become President so we could have gotten "done and [...]
