Myth Busting: St. Francis of Assisi and Private Property

By |2020-10-13T13:37:10+00:00October 13th, 2020|Theology|

St. Francis of Assisi (one of my favorite saints) is again being twisted into a communist and a pacifist.  To dispel this, you can read the gold-standard biography by St. Bonaventure called The Life of St. Francis of Assisi.  In the 20th century, GK Chesterton wrote St. Francis of Assisi.  He recounts this unusual interaction: "The good Bishop of Assisi expressed a sort of horror at the hard life which the Little Brothers lived at the Portiuncula, without comforts, without possessions, eating anything they could get and sleeping anyhow on the ground. St. Francis answered him with that curious and almost stunning shrewdness which the unworldly can sometimes wield like a club [...]

Why Traditional Congregations Allow Alpha Males to be Obedient To Beta Males (and vice versa)

By |2020-10-11T17:18:55+00:00October 10th, 2020|Theology|

I recently read this from Harvard Business: "Highly intelligent, confident, and successful, alpha males represent about 70% of all senior executives. As the label implies, they’re the people who aren’t happy unless they’re the top dogs—the ones calling the shots. Although there are plenty of successful female leaders with equally strong personalities, we’ve found top women rarely if ever match the complete alpha profile. Alphas reach the top ranks in large organizations because they are natural leaders—comfortable with responsibility in a way nonalphas can never be. Most people feel stress when they have to make important decisions; alphas get stressed when tough decisions don’t rest in their capable hands. For them, [...]

This is a talk I gave at a parish on the Feast of the Rosary, 2020.  It's about why evangelizing strangers with Miraculous Medals may help save even your own family.  We look at everything from King St. Louis IX to the battle of Lepanto to St. Maximilian Kolbe.

Resisting the Spiritual Arm of the New World Order

By |2020-10-06T12:40:12+00:00October 5th, 2020|Theology|

In a recent letter found on Marco Tosatti 's blog, Archbishop Viganò writes: "In recent days it has been reported in the news that the Jesuits in America have received grants of nearly two million dollars (over four years) from George Soros, and it seems that the same agreement between the Holy See and the Chinese Communist regime has been financed by large annual donations from Beijing to the Vatican coffers that are in a disastrous state. The fact that the Church fell prostrate before the lockdown, suspending liturgical celebrations and closing churches all over the world, has led to considerable collateral economic damage, for which Chinese donations and the [...]

Bell-Curve Catholicism

By |2020-10-02T13:56:35+00:00October 2nd, 2020|Theology|

So-called "Middle-of-the-Road" Catholics are becoming increasingly distressed at their own defectors to the camp of the “far left” of Fr. James Martin SJ and the camp of the “far right” of Dr. Taylor Marshall.  These Middle-of-the-Road Catholics are concerned at how many “pro-life Catholics” will still vote for Biden, especially as a new group of “defectors to the left" listens to the likes of Fr. James Martin. Such clergy of the far-left discount the notion of being a “one-issue voter” on abortion as we approach the election.  For this reason, liberal "pro-life Catholics" may have no problem voting for Biden because of other issues they dislike about Trump. But the [...]
