In Christ's Passion, we see what we ought to suffer for the truth, and in His resurrection, what we ought to hope for in eternity.—St. Thomas Aquinas At Golgotha in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, one can go to the exact site where Jesus Christ was crucified. Under a Greek altar, one can put one's fist into a hole going to the rocks split asunder and also where tradition tells us the Cross was placed during the crucifixion of the Son of God. Of all the icons that could have been used directly above the hole into the ground of Calvary's cross, they chose "Christ the Bridegroom." [...]

This month of July 2025, Miss Diane Montagna, an American journalist based in Rome, released an article here titled "Official Vatican Report Exposes Major Cracks in Foundation of Traditiones Custodes (TC.)" She writes: "The previously undisclosed text, which forms a crucial part of the official report by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on its 2020 consultation of bishops concerning Summorum Pontificum, reveals that 'the majority of bishops who responded to the questionnaire stated that making legislative changes to Summorum Pontificum would cause more harm than good.'" But only 30% of the bishops had even responded in that 2020 questionnaire. Miss Montagna asserts that a new report states [...]

The Greatest Grace of My Life

Resurrection Grace In 2008, a year before my diaconate ordination, I went with a seminary professor and about 50 others (non-seminarians) to the Holy Land. As a seminarian, a priest friend paid my way (Thanks Fr. Michael B!) not the seminary. My seminary professor wanted nothing to do with me (yes, even back then!) so I ended up wandering the streets of Jerusalem one evening. (Earlier that week, I had hoped for really cool graces at the Golgotha location where Jesus was crucified, but felt little consolation.) However, that evening of wandering old Jerususalem, I came into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and inside that Church is both the [...]

St. Thomas Aquinas writes in the Summa I-II Q 2: Consequently man's happiness cannot consist in fame or glory. On the other hand, man's good depends on God's knowledge as its cause. And therefore man's beatitude depends, as on its cause, on the glory which man has with God; according to Ps. 90: "I will deliver him, and I will glorify him; I will fill him with length of days, and I will show him my salvation..." Fr. David: On social-media, I frequently see Catholics post pictures of saints while misrepresenting Church history or true theology. Such a post of a saint with bad theology may have thousands of likes [...]

p/c PBS The USCCB continues to issue statements against Trump as they clamor for the billions back once received for illegal activity under the Biden Administration in facilitating open-borders in the United States. However, the Department for Homeland Security also takes the offensive. Homeland issued the following statement to Catholic Charities and the USCCB, among other NGOs: “The chairmen are examining whether these NGOs used taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal activity, as the previous administration incentivized millions of inadmissible aliens to cross our borders—many of whom were subsequently aided by NGOs after being released at the border under the Biden-Harris administration’s mass catch-and-release policies.” Over the last 14 years, leftist [...]

Primacy of Conscience vs. Divine Revelation

By Father David Nix|2025-06-25T22:38:05+00:00June 26th, 2025|Theology|

For fifty years, heretics have been promoting the primacy of conscience. Taking a single line from St. Thomas Aquinas out of context, these clowns teach that if your conscience tells you to do one thing and the Bible tells you to do another thing, you should follow your conscience. Furthermore, they also say that an action classically-defined by the Magisterium as sinful is not a sin as long as you can prove to yourself that you either had ignorance in your actions or no-malice in your heart. You might think I am exaggerating here, but I saw this error creeping into moral theology so intensely twenty years ago that [...]

p/c vladtepesblog.com Mr. Yuri Bezmenov was a KGB-defector from the USSR who came to the Western Hemisphere in the 1970s. Yuri once explained how ideological subversion always has to precede the Marxist physical revolution. He insisted that America had already undergone a communist moral revolution by the early 1980s. In that speech, Yuri said the goal for Communists upon America (even before any physical invasion) was "to change the perception of reality, of every American to such an extent that, despite the the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a [...]
