I returned from Israel yesterday (10 Oct 23) after only a three-day pilgrimage that was supposed to be nearly two weeks. This was obviously due to the war that has started there. But here's the talks I gave from the Holy Land over those three days:
The Roman Catechism of Trent {RCT} p. 70-72 The Creed, Article V, Section C. Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1209063
We discuss our short Holy Land pilgrimage from a hotel in Jordan.
Under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul wrote this to the Thessalonians about the man of lawlessness: Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself [...]
"Modernism" is not an adaptation of some ancient Gospel to a needy modern man. Neither is modernism living a healthy Catholicism that simply rejects a rad-trad time-warp. Rather, modernism is "the synthesis of all heresies, "as Pope St. Pius X has written, and we know heresy leads to hell. What are these heresies? I have included two or three aspects of modernism in past writings, but as I now want to include up to six deadly aspects found at the heart of modernism: A Man-Centered Religion: Modernism replaces a vertical-religion for a horizontal-religion. One example of this is how the Mass of the modernist faces man, not God. Or, at [...]
The average amount of time someone spends reading my blog is about 90 seconds at one sitting, according to the WordPress stats. So, if you only have 90 seconds, please read the three paragraphs Compendium of Theology by St. Thomas Aquinas below, as it's some of his most beautiful theology I have ever read. Then, if you have time, read my commentary in orange. God’s permission of evil in the things governed by Him is not inconsistent with the divine goodness. For, in the first place, the function of Providence is not to destroy but to save the nature of the beings governed. The perfection of the universe requires the existence of some beings [...]
Today I interview Gabe, a man who rescues kids from child-sex-slavery in the Caribbean with a professional organization that goes undercover. Most astonishing is the age of the children he is rescuing. "TCE" stands for "Theology and Current Events."
For false-christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.—St. Matthew 24:24 Will the false prophets towards the end of the world be working real miracles or false miracles? Our Lord says they will certainly appear to be "signs and wonders" performed by the enemies of His Kingdom. But they will not be actual miracles. They will be closer to magic than miracles. We will consider the Old Testament and St. Thomas Aquinas to see why magic is not the same as miracles. When God asked Moses to free His people from the slavery of the Egyptians, [...]
The above is a picture I recently took while walking and praying my Divine Office (Psalms) at a rather-empty beach in Florida. It always brings me so much peace. Most of you do not know this, but several times in seminary I felt called to leave my studies for the Catholic priesthood and go live as a homeless, celibate, Catholic preacher in front of abortion centers in Florida. I felt called to live as a mendicant (beggar) without marriage, but also without Holy Orders. Now as a priest doing some of those things as a monk-missionary on my own, I have also been overwhelmed by the issues of politics that [...]
