On today's podcast we have an Albanian immigrant to the USA (also a convert from Islam to Catholicism.) He speaks about Muslim and Marxist regimes and he recounts why he later became an American and even later a traditional Catholic. Michael is a bit of a living “Josip” from Michael O’Brien’s “Island of the World." Bumper music credit to Byzantine Chant Albanian-Agni Parthene.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz8wXNUdMO8 Consider four current issues of "debated" truth: 1) In the above video, Sean Hannity names numerous racist things that Joe Biden said starting at minute 3:30. This includes terms like "racial jungle" and "predators on our streets." Biden even describes South Asians as having a "slight Indian Accent..at 7-11 or Dunkin' Donuts." This is not to mention Biden's newest goof of telling a black radio host that unless he vote for him, "You ain't black." Of course, President Trump has never said anything remotely close to this racist (before or during his presidency. ) 2) In the below tweet, I mention a medical fact that many young women in first [...]
Today's podcast looks at three New Testament clues to what it means to die in sanctifying grace. The featured image on the blog section of this podcast is a picture I took in Haiti. The original name for this podcast was: "According to Catholicism, what must you do to be saved." However, I thought that sounded too subjective whereas the answers I give are objective: Those who die in sanctifying grace are saved and those who die in mortal sin go to hell. We skip the loopholes to look at the meat and potatoes of getting your family to heaven.
There are now six sections to my blog: Theology (default reading when you put in "pilgrim priest" or "padre peregrino" to the url); Talks (Please see the longer description at the bottom of this post); Life (I just started monthly stories about myself); Español (rarely updated); About Padre (my permanent bio with an ever-changing Twitter feed) and Donate(now seeking one-time and monthly donors.) You can find these six-sections at the top of your desktop or laptop screen: Or, if you read my blog on your phone, the pull-down menu bar is here: Then, select one of the six: TALKS: My new teaching channel got delayed due to my commentaries on [...]
The featured image above in this new section of my blog "Life" was a recent shot of me when a friend asked me to do the old rite holy water and holy salt blessing while we were praying at the abortion center. This was before the "clients"seeking abortion showed up. These would be those "clients" who we lovingly ask to leave the abortion center. Certain mornings are now our day of prayer and counseling Denver's Stapleton "Planned Parenthood" with my friend Kevin. At this horrible facility, they kill 10,000 babies a year. While my friend does the sidewalk counseling, I pray the Divine Office (old Roman Breviary) and walk the [...]
This week I put up a Facebook post that had 440 shares. In it, I suspected that Pope Benedict XVI was being controlled and that he would not come back to the Vatican. When I was proved wrong on the latter of those two, I was asked to publicly apologize for my whole post. No, I'm not going to apologize for noticing that Pope Benedict XVI is back in the Vatican. Why? Because I still insist that something nefarious is afoot. The onus of proof is now on my opposing interlocutors to explain not only a few but all of the following questions if they still insist upon a peaceful [...]
This podcast is about Catholics standing up for their rights when the mob arrives. We look at Colorado's KKK and their 1924 stand against both Regis University and Denver's Catholic seminary, then called "St. Thomas," now called "St. John Vianney." A baptism conducted by California mission friars is shown in a sketch displayed at the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala in San Diego July 27. This drawing is part of a collection of sketches depicting mission life by California artists A.B. Dodge and Alexander Harmer. (CNS photo/Nancy Wiechec) See SERRA-TIMELINE July 30, 2015. The toppling of the statue of Franciscan missionary Junipero Serra in San Francisco [...]
For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.—Eph 3:1-5. Notice above that the Apostle Paul says that “the mystery” (μυστήριον, mysterion) was made known to him by “revelation” [...]
Dr. Taylor Marshall joins me on today's podcast to discuss Archbishop Viganò who just last week wrote a letter to encourage Trump against the "children of darkness." But two days later, he criticizes the hierarchy following the "revolution" of Vatican II. Why would Viganò first encourage a Protestant President with a speckled past and then discourage pro-life albeit modernist Popes?
