“Your Commandments Are Weapons.”—St. Augustine
We are in a very interesting time in Church history when some Catholics have a great desire to recognize the spiritual warfare into which they have been born. Yet, other Catholics seem interested in legalistic loopholes about how everyone (including themselves) has no responsibility towards their salvation. They hold this because the erroneously believe that either everyone is saved -or- anyone who can prove reduced-culpability or invincible-ignorance is thereby saved. There might even be overlap between these two groups! In other words, there may be Catholics doing binding prayers against demons who are at the same time looking for excuses not to keep the Commandments. But Our Lord Jesus said [...]

What is the Third-Secret of Fatima?
What is the Third Secret of Fatima? The full Third Secret has not been released by the Vatican, but even many moderate Catholics today know it's more than the shooting of Pope John Paul II or a LARPing tale of future-crossbows on a Vatican hill. Last week, I blogged here on Malachi Martin regarding the Jesuits, so I decided to quote him on Fatima today, too. Although I have seen Martin's quotes in more places than one, they are nicely compiled in one spot by Gloria TV. So, I simply reproduce their article here: Father Malachi Martin (reader of the Third Secret of Fatima) Interview with Bernard Janzen 1992, The [...]

QuickPod: The Urgency of the Pro-Life Movement
The subtitle of this talk is: "A pro-lifer's C+ for God is better than an abortion doctor's A+ for Satan." It's a talk I gave at the Trump Miami Hotel this weekend at a pro-life gala for a Crisis Pregnancy Center on why we must "Just Do It" in pro-life decisions while avoiding perfectionism. https://youtu.be/T6wcPL_8pbw?si=Kw-rlMcSu85olHNO

Estote Fidelis: “Be Faithful.”
The above is a picture of my friend, Fr. Fidelis CFR, being arrested for his pro-life work. For peaceful pro-life work, I have been arrested in Wash DC and New Jersey with Fr. Fidelis under a group called Red Rose Rescue (RRR.) I thought I was pro-life before I met those associated with RRR. But the way that RRR changed my thinking was this: Whereas most pro-life organizations know in their brains that the unborn are really children, the members of RRR know in their hearts that children are really being killed. Here's what I mean: Imagine if you found out in the nearest big city that somewhere downtown there [...]

Is Fr. Jim Altman a Sedevacantist?
A sedevacantist is defined as a Catholic who believes there has not been a valid Pope since 1958. Fr. Jim Altman is not a sedevacantist. I know Fr. Altman in real life. We have mutual friends who are sedevacantists and we admire them, but we are not in that camp. To recap: Sedevacantist in Latin means empty-chair. Sedevacantist in English means one who believes no valid Pope since 1958 due to modernist heresies in them. If you were speaking exclusively Latin, you could accurately call Fr. Altman "a sedevacantist" due to his recent video on the papacy. But while speaking English, it would be entirely dishonest and a false-accusation to [...]

The Infiltration of the Jesuits
Recently I have been finding myself wondering a lot where the cracks came in the Catholic Faith before Vatican II. The Jesuits are generally held as the thermostat—not the thermometer—for the Catholic Church at large (for better or for worse.) So, back when the Jesuits were orthodox, where did the cracks in their faith first appear? The Jesuits by the late Fr. Malachi Martin SJ answers this. As I read his 1986 production The Jesuits, I discover that his book is a worthy predecessor of Dr. Taylor Marshall's 2019 book Infiltration. That is, what started happening slowly within the Jesuits a little after 1850 is exactly what Marshall says happened [...]

VLX Special: Mental Prayer for Families.
This is a talk I gave to a women's confraternity in my city regarding leading children in mental prayer. (But it's probably the best guide I've done for adults on Gospel Meditations.)

Fatima’s First-Saturday 15-minute Meditation
For those who heed the message of Our Lady of Fatima, the first Saturday devotion includes three things: 1) The reception of Holy Communion after Confession (within 8 days before or after) 2) Praying five decades of the Rosary. 3) Spending 15 minutes in meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary. This last one seems confusing in debates between good Catholics. Some believe this means meditating on all fifteen decades of the Rosary for a quarter hour. However, this would probably not be "meditation" according to Our Lady's definition, as you would only be spending one-minute on each mystery! The clearest answer comes from the late Father Dooley, an American [...]
