What is the Primacy of Conscience?

By |2019-09-27T11:25:32+00:00September 22nd, 2019|Theology|

Jesus Christ can forgive, through His priests, the most serious mortal sins through baptism and confession. As most readers know, mortal sins (sins that lead to hell) are mortal if they are 1) grave material and 2) done with full-knowledge and 3) executed with full consent of the will.  In a recent blog post, I reminded readers of 15 Mortal Sins that most Catholics don't know are grave matter. In today's article, I will try to unmask how Satan tricks amateur theologians on the other two criteria of mortal sin (full knowledge and full consent of the will.)  For lack of more politically-correct terms, I have tried to identify the tricks [...]

The Cross vs. Emotional Fulfillment in Marriage

By |2019-09-16T00:18:27+00:00September 14th, 2019|Theology|

By Fr. David Nix and Leila Miller As I have said in many sermons and blog posts, Catholics that use contraception have the same divorce rate as the rest of the United States—roughly 50%. Catholics who refrain from contraception have a divorce rate that is only 3%, even when all studies are averaged. But what about those 3% of Catholics who get a divorce while avoiding contraception? Crisis Magazine did a study about 15 years ago to ask why young Catholics who avoid contraception were getting divorces.  The answer was one:  They did not expect to suffer much in marriage. This blog post is written by my friend and author, [...]

Real Men of the Church Take Ownership

By |2019-09-03T02:31:02+00:00September 2nd, 2019|Theology|

Real men take ownership. Cowards blame each other. In the below video, Navy Seal Jocko Willink describes a fire-fight in Iraq that went bad into a situation of deadly friendly-fire. At minute 8, Willink asks: "Who’s fault was this?” One Seal stood up and explained the deadly situation, adding: “…And it was my fault.” But then the next Navy Seal stands up and says: “It was my fault…” The next Navy Seal stands up and says: “No, it was my fault, because…” Again, watch time stamp 8:00 to 9:00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljqra3BcqWM Contrast this to the below video from the 1960s where a young Irish priest asks an older Irish priest why [...]

3 Apologetics Points

By |2019-08-31T14:37:33+00:00August 31st, 2019|Theology|

There are many good books for Catholics to purchase to defend the Catholic Faith while talking to non-Catholics on topics such as the Resurrection of Jesus Christ or the Eucharist or the Immaculate Virgin Mary or even all Scriptural topics including Purgatory. But three debilitating moves for Catholics to use on Protestants while debating on-the-fly are as follows: 1) Disprove Sola Scriptura by reading Scripture Alone? 21 Reasons to Reject Sola Scriptura by Joel Peters.  It can be found online or in $2 pamphlets from Amazon.   It will take less than an hour to read, and it is undeniably the best little booklet to disprove the erroneous Protestant notion that Divine Revelation is found exclusively in [...]

Does God Change His Mind Through Church History?

By |2019-08-24T18:29:20+00:00August 24th, 2019|Theology|

Two other titles I threw around for this blog post were, Was the early Church more traditional or charismatic?  and Was the Early Catholic Church as Dogmatic as the Medieval Catholic Church?  This is a long blog post, but if you follow it carefully to the end, I believe you'll be happy that you did. In the above picture, every domino represents a different century in Church history.  I used to believe that liturgy and dogma in Catholic Church history followed an erratic pattern like the above picture of dominos, where every century differed from the next century.  Where it is true that the politics of Church history have followed a [...]

Amazon Synod Podcast 3: Teilhard de Chardin vs. Our Lady of Good Success

By |2019-08-11T21:46:03+00:00August 22nd, 2019|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Also RomeCast 20. In our featured image above is 20th century Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ and 16th century Mother Mariana Mother Mariana of Jesus Torres y Berriochoa. In today’s podcast we show that Our Lady of Good Success (who appeared to Mother Mariana) predicted that in 500 years we would see certain attempts to re-write the Catholic Faith and the sacraments. The solution is partly found in new catechism: "The sixth beatitude proclaims, 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.' 'Pure in heart' refers to those who have attuned their intellects and wills to the demands of God's holiness, chiefly in three areas: charity; [...]
