Why Peregrinatio and Hermitage Are Not Oxymorons
Some people debate online if I'm a hermit because I asked to leave parish life or because I was kicked out of so many parishes. The fact is that I asked to leave parish life because I wasn't willing to fight with lay "Eucharistic Ministers" about their lack of Eucharistic vigilance. The problem is that I thought the next Novus Ordo parish would magically have more care for the Eucharist. Of course, I was wrong. Thus, I switched entirely to the old seven sacraments. The pain of the battle in the Novus world led to the glory of now using all the ancient rite sacraments—which I would not give up [...]

Reason and Order Discouraged in US Seminary?
And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.—Isaiah 3:4 Today, we're going to consider at who is allowed in a US seminary (the 6-7 year long post-graduate school where celibate men study for the Roman Catholic Priesthood.) But this article is not going to be macho. I am not going to argue for Catholic seminarians to weight-lift (admittedly a good idea) or know how to handle a firearm (also good idea) or to learn how to stave off feminism at their future parish (yet another good idea.) What worries me is that the very basics of male psychological health are being suppressed [...]

Bishops’ Indemnities Revisited
The Epoch Times recently estimated that 17,000,000 people have been killed by the "Covid-Vaccine." I believe that number is an extremely conservative estimate. Whether high or low, we now know that the injection causing so many deaths was not in fact a vaccine, but rather gene therapy made from aborted babies. It was released under emergency-use authorization by the FDA, and still has not been approved. Many Catholics died after taking it, including my own mother after taking a third dose. I wrote about her tragedy but good death here last year. Why did so many Catholics take it? Like most Americans of other religions, Catholics listened to their physicians [...]

-Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino *** Gospel: “Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. And Peter was following Him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end.”

The “Universal Call to Holiness” Was Always There
Vatican II's Lumen Gentium's chapter five is titled "Universal Call to Holiness" and it includes this sentence: "Therefore in the Church, everyone whether belonging to the hierarchy, or being cared for by it, is called to holiness." By "cared for by it," it simply means lay people. In other words, lay folks are also called to holiness. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with that sentence. But it's also super obvious, so something else is behind it. What is it? I don't know, but there's an old Protestant myth that Catholic priests and nuns told lay people they're not called to holiness. Have modernists run with this in Vatican II? We [...]

The Grey Wolves of Modernist Ambiguity
p/c North American Whitetail. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits.—Mt 7:15-16. Many traditional Catholics today rip on the ultra-leftists because it's easy to knock out of the park really low-hanging fruit like "Clown Masses" or social-justice warriors to oppose Eucharistic rallies because it detracts from the poor or even pro-abortion "Catholics." Trads tackling people that far left on the political and theological spectrum are after "easy likes" on Twitter and Instagram. The bigger problem is that neo-conservative (non-traditional) priests who may be found making pro-life statements or be seen headlining at a national [...]

Praying for Those Who Have Never Heard the Gospel
Even though I recently read these intense parameters about how Catholics must always avoid all prayer with schismatics and heretics, I get an idea of which tribes in the world have never heard the Gospel from a Protestant website called Joshua Project's Unreached of the Day (JPUD.) Some examples of tribes who have never heard the Gospel (or barely have heard the Gospel) are seen in the above screenshots of those targets of prayer as created in the catalogue of JPUD. Yes, I admit it's sad that Protestants have a website like this, but Catholics do not. For the last 500 years of Protestantism, they only threw missionaries on the [...]

A Nanny-Church to Match the Nanny-State
Recently, Archbishop Viganò wrote, "Change – or better still, aggiornamento – has been so much at the center of the conciliar narrative that it has been the hallmark of Vatican II and has posited this assembly as the terminus post quem that sanctions the end of the ancien régime – the regime of the 'old religion,' of the 'old Mass,' of the 'pre-council' – and the beginning of the 'conciliar church,' with its 'new mass' and the substantial relativization of all dogma." Now, before everyone calls Viganò a "schismatic" for simply putting those two words "conciliar church" in scare quotes, we have to realize that some important clergy (who have [...]
