Euthanasia in Canada: A True Story.

By |2025-07-21T13:02:09+00:00July 22nd, 2025|Theology|

Recently, the Pillar reported:  "Nine years ago, the Canadian government legalized a Medical Assistance in Dying program, making physician assisted suicide widely accessible across Canada for those who qualified for the program.  To date, roughly 75,000 people have died from MAiD, including many Catholics." Now, I don't really like the current medical definitions for active euthanasia vs. passive euthanasia, but here's the basics of the vocabulary that weak bioethicists throw around today: Active euthanasia involves deliberately causing a patient's death, while passive euthanasia involves withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, allowing the patient to die naturally. The problem with their definition is that both are murder, which is why I don't [...]

“We Have Found the True Faith.”

By |2025-07-20T16:01:50+00:00July 20th, 2025|Life|

In the theology section of my site, I write very confidently about tradition versus modernism.  But to be honest with the few readers who read the Life Update section of my site here, I have to admit I am very confused at the current Church crisis.  Try as people might compare it to past crises in the Church, it always falls flat.  We've never had someone on the Chair of Peter worship a demon-idol (Pachamama) or promote gay-blessings (Fiducia Supplicans) before the 21st century. And then the next guy on the Chair tells us all he's in heaven and he's going to totally imitate his synodal church. Lay folks who [...]

Warning on Bad Prelates.

By |2025-07-18T11:30:26+00:00July 17th, 2025|Theology|

Lay Catholics are currently desperate for leadership in the hierarchical Church. Not finding any, they prop up fake-leaders. Why? There have been numerous psychological studies that show (in both secular and religious culture) men are more desirous of security than truth. Thus, Catholics today are following the normal patterns of humanity in this crisis. However, it’s more dangerous for Catholics because modernists (and apparently even trads) are now projecting true Catholicism on a non-Catholic leader (who has the whole world deceived as to leadership and devotion.) This is going to have dire eternal consequences upon countless souls. At this point, many Catholics think I am taking the dangerous road of [...]

Sermon for Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

I'm sorry about the ridiculous Muslim prayer-droning from the nearby minaret, as I'm in a Middle-Eastern country preaching this (in a Catholic Church, of course.)

The Priest As The Best-Man to Christ.

By |2025-07-09T19:02:54+00:00July 10th, 2025|Theology|

In Christ's Passion, we see what we ought to suffer for the truth, and in His resurrection, what we ought to hope for in eternity.—St. Thomas Aquinas At Golgotha in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, one can go to the exact site where Jesus Christ was crucified.  Under a Greek altar, one can put one's fist into a hole going to the rocks split asunder and also where tradition tells us the Cross was placed during the crucifixion of the Son of God.  Of all the icons that could have been used directly above the hole into the ground of Calvary's cross, they chose "Christ the Bridegroom."

The Bombshell Without a Bang.

By |2025-07-08T10:45:28+00:00July 8th, 2025|Theology|

This month of July 2025, Miss Diane Montagna, an American journalist based in Rome, released an article here titled "Official Vatican Report Exposes Major Cracks in Foundation of Traditiones Custodes (TC.)"  She writes: "The previously undisclosed text, which forms a crucial part of the official report by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on its 2020 consultation of bishops concerning Summorum Pontificum, reveals that 'the majority of bishops who responded to the questionnaire stated that making legislative changes to Summorum Pontificum would cause more harm than good.'" But only 30% of the bishops had even responded in that 2020 questionnaire.  Miss Montagna asserts that a new report states [...]
