What Catholics Are Missing in the Death Penalty Debate

By |2018-08-07T14:22:08+00:00August 3rd, 2018|Theology|

WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.  Before skimming this article to see if you like my conclusion on the death penalty, please realize that this blog post is a work on systematic theology, not moral theology. Systematic theology is a consideration of the levels dogma in the Catholic Church. Indeed, the question of By What Authority must precede visceral reactions to difficult issues that divide Catholics today like the death penalty or gay "marriage."   Against the better judgment of half-my-mind, I’m going to give you (here in the first paragraph) the dogmatic conclusion of this blog post that will be proved below: The Catechism of the Catholic Church is not infallible. The [...]

A Formation Commensurate to Baptism

By |2019-04-04T20:34:58+00:00July 18th, 2018|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Any species of animal must have a formation commensurate to its nature.  We are humans with a human nature, but we are called to participate in the Divine Nature through baptism.  How can our formation equal the grace already transmitted in the sacraments?   Two ways:  1)To live according to the spirit, not the flesh (Romans 8) and 2) To go to the mother who singularly formed the human nature of the God-man.

The Winners of Human History

By |2018-08-04T02:57:36+00:00June 14th, 2018|Events|

"The history of the world from the beginning is but the history of the struggle between the powers of the world, and of hell, against the souls which are humbly devoted to the divine action. In this struggle all the advantage seems to be on the side of pride, yet the victory always remains with humility. The image of the world is always presented to our eyes as a statue of gold, brass, iron, and clay. This mystery of iniquity, shown in a dream to Nabuchodonosor, is nothing but a confused medley of all the actions, interior and exterior, of the children of darkness. This is also typified by the [...]

Prophesy of St. Francis of Assisi

By |2018-05-31T02:17:27+00:00May 31st, 2018|Theology|

“Act bravely, my brethren; take courage and trust in the Lord. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase. The devils will have unusual power; the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who obey the true Supreme Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal ears and perfect charity. “At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, [...]

Thunderclouds of Mary

By |2018-05-17T15:47:01+00:00May 16th, 2018|Theology|

This is actually one of my most hope-filled posts, but follow me down the bad rabbit hole of humanism for a minute before we come rocketing up to the glory of God: Most conservative pundits say that the world is now worse than previous centuries. However, most professors of world history at American and European universities teach that (except for modern wars) we now live in a world much safer, thanks to medicine, secularism and globalism. Of course, I would want to point the latter group to the millions of yearly abortions, but the Western academy will not accept that the unborn constitute an actual genocide of slaughtered human beings.

On Exiting the Gay Lifestyle 2 of 2

I interviewed Joseph Sciambra about his exit from work in gay pornography to a chaste life in the Catholic Church. This is part 2 of 2, live from the Castro, San Francisco. You can find a lot more about Joseph's life and apostolate at www.josephsciambra.com. You can watch both of these coffee-shop interviews with Joseph and myself on Sensus Fidelium.

What Exactly is the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary?

By |2018-05-13T06:45:54+00:00May 9th, 2018|Theology|

On 13 October 1884, Pope Leo XIII entered a trance after finishing Mass in the Vatican and he saw Jesus and Satan talking: Satan: “I can destroy Your Church.” Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.” Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.” Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?” Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.” Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.” Pope Leo XIII then went to compose his prayer to St. Michael to be prayed after [...]
