Ecclesial Exigent Circumstances

By |2025-12-02T03:21:59+00:00December 4th, 2025|Theology|

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 [...]

My Role in the Pachamama Event.

By |2025-12-02T05:27:09+00:00December 2nd, 2025|Life|

Over the summer of 2019, there was a lot of righteous anger among traditional Catholics online (and in real life) over the fact that the folks in charge of the Vatican the last decade had placed Pachamama idols—idols Burgles' staff admitted to Catholic News Agency were not the Blessed Virgin Mary—in various Catholic Churches in Rome, including St. Mary Transpontina near the Vatican. Dr. Taylor Marshall and I had decided to go dunk these wicked idols, but he had to bail at the last minute. I still went to Rome, in any case, with a different Taylor M. (not kidding) and a traditional gentleman from England. You see, Dr. Marshall [...]

Advent First Sunday Sermon.

By |2025-11-29T20:04:56+00:00November 29th, 2025|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

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.

Portare Manipulum Fletus et Doloris.

By |2025-11-25T23:07:09+00:00November 27th, 2025|Theology|

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 [...]

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 [...]

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/

The Ends Don’t Justify the Jeans.

Guest post by Dr. Ed Mazza PhD, edmundmazza.com. p/c OSV News photo/Neon. In 2024, Conservative “darling” Sydney Sweeney was the protagonist in the horror movie Immaculate (above) in which she manages both to mock Our Lady and promote pornography: “The film contains blasphemy, sacrilegious jokes, gory violence, including torture and infanticide, grisly images, partial upper female nudity…”[1] Yet moral outrage of the Woke-Left over the recent Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad recently had many Conservatives—including many Catholics—cheering a victory for Sweeney and the cause of Tradition and Beauty.[2]This reaction, however, only goes to show just how poorly catechized today’s Christians are and how far the Overton Window has shifted in [...]
