Five Hidden Pitfalls to Catholic Social Media

By |2025-02-25T04:39:16+00:00February 25th, 2025|Theology|

Catholics (including myself) often justify our presence on social media by evangelization, teaching and Church reform.  But do the advantages really outweigh the benefits for even the most astute apologists online? Besides the big pitfalls of porn and bullying, there are some other smaller hazards to Christians on social media.  I'm not speaking of simply manners, but things that will affect people's salvation.  Let's look at five other hidden pitfalls to social media: Fake Romances, Fake Friendships.  Many marriages have been broken up when a spouse meets another person online.  Sometimes that spouse commits adultery with the new squeeze met online.  But sometimes the married person leaves for a person [...]

Traitors’ Last Ditch Effort in Church and State

By |2025-02-20T12:47:19+00:00February 20th, 2025|Theology|

I have to admit I didn't have it in my bingo cards that 2025 was going to be the big year when hundreds of thousands of mainstream Catholics wake up to the corruption that a few of us have known about for years in certain Catholic organizations.  I'm quite thrilled to see how many Catholics are now standing up against the imposters in Rome, the corruption of the USCCB and the criminal activity of Catholic Charities that some of us have been sounding the alarm about for years.  (Notice I wrote that above-linked article exposing "Catholic Charities" of Galveston-Houston last year before Trump was even in power to defund that [...]

If You Build It, They Will Come

He said therefore to them again: "Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent Me, I also send you." When He had said this, He breathed on them; and He said to them: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."—St. John 20:21-23. Most of my articles are directed to Catholic laity, but this is one of the rare ones where I am writing to other priests.  The only message of this article is:  Please add more confession times.  If you do, the penitents will come. In rural areas, it might take some penance [...]

The Holy Sacrifice and the Unholy Sacrifice.

By |2025-02-13T12:59:49+00:00February 13th, 2025|Theology|

p/c New Liturgical Movement, NBC. The priest sunders with unbloody cut the body and blood of the Lord, using his voice as a sword.—St. Gregory Nazianzen. The above is a quote from an Eastern Church Father (recognized as a saint by both the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Christians.) St. Gregory in that quote means that the dual consecration at Mass (the bread becoming the body and the wine becoming the blood) effects a mystical and unbloody separation of the body and blood. This is because it happens in two separate sets of consecration. In a mystical way, this separation of blood from body somehow comprises the fact that [...]

Immaculate Mary: Mirror of Justice.

Every angel saw nearly all of creation during its creation in what was called the "first instance" (not found in the same time frame as us on earth.) During the "second instance," each angel had the chance to obey God or disobey Him through some act of sacrifice of its will in regards to its specific mission (where it stayed an angel or became a demon.) Then, the "third instance" was immediate reward with the beatific vision (if the angel obeyed) or damnation into hell where its will is locked into rebellion against God forever. There is a talk by the exorcist Fr. Ripperger titled Our Lady of Sorrows and [...]

True “Ecumenical” Relations.

In the above picture, I am seen with Abba Nathanial, the bishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Colorado.  Keep in mind as you read this article that the Ethiopian Catholic Church (which maintains seven valid sacraments and is in communion with Rome) is different from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (which maintains seven valid sacraments but is not in communion with Rome.)  In the above picture and the following pictures, I am seen with a member of the clergy of the latter. Why?  It is not because I am going Eastern Orthodox.  It's simply because I made a new friend who is not Catholic.  But touring his Church made me [...]

How to Evangelize Leftists.

By |2025-02-05T18:06:51+00:00February 6th, 2025|Theology|

p/c Jeffrey Bruno For the longest time, I believed the Right could reason with the Left with evidence on the many incendiary issues lighting up Church and State over the last decade.  Because I had two conversions (from left to neo-con, and then neo-con to trad as I recounted in this video here) I believed everyone else had a desire to seek the truth as I did.   "If the evidence were simply presented in charity," I reasoned in regard to any dozen topics of Church and State, "then many more people would repent of their former errors and quickly convert." I actually still think that is true, but there's [...]
