The Four Virtues Needed in this Church Crisis

By |2024-08-31T03:25:04+00:00July 9th, 2024|Theology|

In a Vatican-approved apparition from the 16th century, the Mother of God appeared to a Spanish nun living in Quito, Ecuador in what became known as Our Lady of Good Success.  (Yes, I know I normally criticize those who do transliterations when a translation is required, and yes I know "Good Success" is a transliteration not a translation.  But Good Success is what it has become in English, so we accept it in common usage.  Common usage is also a part of linguistics, even when it gets sloppy on the translation front.) In any case, while we know the divine aspect of the Catholic Church remains always pristine as the [...]

Ahead of the Curve on the Hermit Life

By |2024-07-05T17:41:59+00:00July 5th, 2024|Life|

More and more diocesan priests are becoming interested in becoming a diocesan hermit under Canon 603.  That's what I am.  (My rule of life with approved apostolates is here.)  Some traditionally-minded Roman Catholic priests have contacted me over the last few years because they want to offer the traditional sacraments and no longer want to do the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM.) What is interesting about the men contacting me is that they (like me) do not have the personality of being a hermit.  But they are more willing (and more likely) to live alone than to compromise their conscience anymore in typical parish life in the United States.  As more [...]

And to all the "Catholic" and "pro-life" organizations that said you can just "follow your conscience" on destructive gene-therapy from aborted babies because that's what the USCCB said... please watch this four and a half minute video so you can repent and make public reparation for misleading your flock: https://youtu.be/WXc1wdCx0GE?si=M5Vjzmt6ZAMZveRf

“Alternative Lifestyles” Before the Destroyed Temple

By |2024-07-03T04:36:52+00:00July 4th, 2024|Theology|

Jesus left the temple and was going away, when His disciples came to point out to Him the buildings of the Temple. But He answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”—Mt 24:1-2 The above is Jesus Christ's own prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, just days before His Passion.  Of course, God gave them 40 years to repent for killing Christ.  When they did not, Jerusalem was razed by the Romans in 70AD.  Not only early Christian sources, but even other Jewish and Roman [...]

Ecclesiology and Liturgy are a United Front

By |2024-07-03T04:28:52+00:00July 2nd, 2024|Theology|

The featured image above is a picture of the last scheduled TLM in the Melbourne, Australia Cathedral (which just took place this June of 2024.) Although there are serious theological and historical errors in it, the liturgical letter Desiderio Desideravi (henceforth DD) is correct in at least one sentence, in that it identifies the liturgical debates between traditionalists and modernists as primarily ecclesiological, not liturgical. It reads, "The problematic is primarily ecclesiological."  (I first noticed the importance of that sentence when it was recently mentioned on Return to Tradition.) The second half of that paragraph including that sentence reads: "The problematic is primarily ecclesiological. I do not see how it [...]

VLX 152: Mt 26:37-46. “Let This Cup Pass From Me.”

By |2024-07-01T13:15:23+00:00July 1st, 2024|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

-Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Bumpers "Recomposed Richter Vivaldi Spring 1." Gospel: And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.” And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that [...]

Insecure Narcissism or Greatness in Christ?

By |2024-06-27T19:57:39+00:00June 27th, 2024|Theology|

When I first started listening to an exorcist's talks on the link between Marxism and demons’ psychology, I came to the conclusion that narcissism was a major trait of demons and those on the left. However, the more I study Marxism and demonology, the more I started that narcissism was not simply one of the psychological aspects of those groups, but rather the central tenet to those groups.  I recently saw that again in an attack on me on Twitter from some leftist "Catholics" this last weekend.  People just sent me screenshots of the Tweets against me but I didn't spend much time on X. Keep in mind that narcissism [...]

The Unique Holiness of St. John the Baptist

By |2024-06-24T20:00:29+00:00June 25th, 2024|Theology|

As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, “‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’—St. Matthew 11:7-10. We will look at five ways in which the holiness of St. John [...]
