What Charlie Thought of Francis and Leo.

By |2025-09-22T12:40:54+00:00September 22nd, 2025|Theology|

It is common at the death of a great man for smaller minds to weaponize great minds for their own personal wheelhouse of ideas.  For example, in regards to the fallen Charlie Kirk, his friends on earth are currently engaged in bitter debates on if he was changing his once-favorable views towards the current state of Israel.  (We will not be delving into that today.) People are also debating if Charlie Kirk was on his way to Catholicism before his assassination. Of course, Catholics are insisting he was. Evangelical Protestants are saying he was not. In previous articles, I wrote that I believed there was a good chance he was [...]

Why Are Protestants Chanting “Christ Is King”?

By |2025-09-18T13:11:24+00:00September 18th, 2025|Theology|

p/c Eric Daugherty. Why are Protestants chanting "Christ Is King" while Catholic bishops promote Black Lives Matter?  Shouldn't it be the opposite? St. Thomas Aquinas once wrote "Grace builds on nature without destroying it."  Similarly, we could say that Divine Revelation is built on the Natural Law without destroying it.  When St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that, he never would have guessed large populations of so-called Catholics would be one day rejecting the bare-bones basics of the Natural Law like "Unborn children deserve to live" and "Marriage is between only one man and one woman" and "It is bad to mutilate your children, even if they have mental disorders." This is [...]

The Death of Dialogue in Church and State.

By |2025-09-16T13:28:28+00:00September 16th, 2025|Theology|

Above, Mrs. Erika Kirk mourns at the casket of her fallen husband, Mr. Charlie Kirk.  Charlie was assassinated on 10 Sept 2025 by a male shooter (who had a trans-identifying boyfriend.) Candace Owens recently stated:  “I can tell you factually:  Charlie was praying the Rosary. Charlie was going to Mass.”  Additionally, I am told by a good authority in Phoenix that Charlie and Erika had their marriage convalidated in the Catholic Church the day before his assassination.  Thus, more and more evidence is surfacing indicating that God Himself might honor Charlie not just as a political martyr, but perhaps even as a religious martyr. Of course, many normy Catholics will [...]

Charlie Kirk: An Inspiration to Me.

By |2025-09-13T00:25:47+00:00September 11th, 2025|Life|

Charlie Kirk was a Protestant, but defended Our Lady’s honor. In fact, he frequently went to daily Mass in Phoenix with his wife according to several sources I know in real life. Thus, I think it’s safe to say that if he was not a catechumen, he was on his way to being a catechumen. And the Catholic Church claimed catechumens as their own. That’s why I have a hope for his salvation. However, I won’t declare him a martyr, so we should all keep praying for his soul. We will of course be praying for his beautiful family and children that he leaves behind. And I will be offering [...]

How to Meditate at the TLM.

By |2025-09-16T03:13:34+00:00September 11th, 2025|Theology|

A few years ago, I had spliced in scenes of the Passion of the Christ into a video on Vimeo of my own low Mass with the words I had thought came from St. Francis De Sales.  While it probably didn’t come from him, it is found on page 103 of this old Redemptorist devotional book.  You can use those words to meditate at each part of the Traditional Latin Mass: When the priest goes to the foot of the Altar: Jesus enters the garden. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Who wast pleased voluntarily to endure mortal terror and anguish at the view of Thine approaching [...]

Schism: The Pressure-Release Valve to Heresy.

By |2025-09-09T05:51:52+00:00September 9th, 2025|Theology|

This is a long one, but I think it's worth the read.  Before getting into the recent news in the Vatican, we need to go through a few definitions.  Apostasy is the denial of Christ by a person who once claimed to be Christian.  Heresy is the denial of one or several dogmas of the Catholic Church.  Schism is to break ties with the Pope in Rome and/or the Holy See. However, the last definition requires some qualification.  A Catholic cannot be called "a schismatic" for failure to join his heart and mind to a heretic.  A Christian cannot be called "a schismatic" for failure to unite to a heretic. [...]
