A Dumpling Story

By |2022-12-21T02:57:42+00:00December 20th, 2022|Life|

I went out with a Filipino friend for Korean dumplings today and our server was a 30-year-old woman who barely spoke English. I gave her a Miraculous Medal (with a chain on it, of course) and explained that it was Mary the mother of Jesus, and Jesus promises lots of graces for anyone who wears it. She happily accepted it and she told me she was a Catholic. I asked if she was a Korean (thinking that, since there are lots of Korean Catholics and because we were in a Korean restaurant.) She told me she was Mongolian. Now, I've met Catholics from all over the world, but this truly [...]

How to Conquer Temptation Immediately, by St. Alphonsus

PATIENCE UNDER TEMPTATION & THE MEANS OF CONQUERING With what arms are we to fight temptations in order to conquer? by S. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop & Doctor of the Church The first and principal, and I may say the only, and absolutely necessary means for conquering temptations, is to have recourse to God by prayer.  This means is particularly necessary for conquering temptations against purity;  In temptations it is also very useful to make the Sign of the Cross. The second means of conquering temptations is to humble yourself, and to distrust your own strength.  Thus let us humble ourselves, and at the same time let us have recourse with [...]

The “Deposit of the Faith” and “the Mode in Which It is Announced.”

By |2023-10-05T20:10:00+00:00December 15th, 2022|Theology|

Most liberal Catholics will happily admit that the Catholic hierarchy began to openly espouse a new data set of doctrinal points in the 1960s.  (Many traditional Catholics—including myself—would ironically agree with this.)  But there's a group of Catholics between the liberals and the traditionalists that will say something like, "No, no.  Vatican II did not teach a new dogma.  Vatican II simply taught us how to transmit the constant dogmas of the Catholic Church in a manner that is now packaged in a new way to accommodate the sensitivities of modern man."  Fair enough.  This is the teaching of many neo-con Catholics and it's essentially what I espoused in seminary [...]

The Left is a Cult (in Both Church and State)

By |2022-12-13T18:36:14+00:00December 13th, 2022|Theology|

https://rumble.com/embed/v1v433u/?pub=e5jg1 In the late 1990s, I was an EMT.  (I was not yet a paramedic, for that would come two years later when I returned to my hometown of Denver.)  Living in Boston from 1996-2000, I brought pediatric patients in an ambulance to Boston Children's Hospital.  It was the number-one Children's Hospital in the world, long before it had gender-mutilating clinics against children.  I went to Boston in the late 1990s thinking it was a pretty Catholic city.  Little did I know that the Spotlight scandals of decades of priests molesting children would explode shortly after I graduated pre-med from a Jesuit University, Boston College, in 2000. On 22 Nov [...]

Some New Liturgical Gifts

By |2022-12-14T07:36:16+00:00December 12th, 2022|Life|

Wednesday morning is my time of praying at the third largest Planned Parenthood in the world.  It is called Park Hill Planned Parenthood, located in the Stapleton neighborhood.   Who is Stapleton?  Ben Stapleton was a 20th century mayor of Denver who was a member of both the Democrat party and the KKK.  (Yes, you read that correctly and can corroborate it in the first paragraph of his Wiki page.)  Here at the Stapleton Planned Parenthood, clinicians surgically kill 10,000 babies a year, as well as countless chemical abortions and now "gender-therapy."  This pre-born killing center is located in a black and hispanic neighborhood, just as a Democrat-Klansman would want. The [...]

The Immaculate Conception in the Mystical City of God

By |2022-11-29T05:51:54+00:00December 8th, 2022|Theology|

The above painting is of SS. Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The 17th century Spanish Franciscan abbess, Venerable Mary of Jesus of Ágreda of Spain, received a private-revelation on the life of the Immaculate Virgin Mary that comes to a few thousand pages in a book called The Mystical City of God.  The Mystical City of God was attacked by the Jansenists as inauthentic.  Is it reliable?  Besides the fact that Sr. Mary of Ágreda has been declared "Venerable" by the Catholic Church, her book has the approval of Popes Innocent XI, Alexander VIII, Clement IX, Benedict XIII, Benedict XIV and Clement XIV.  By "approved" we mean [...]
