New Year’s Resolutions 2025

By |2025-01-04T17:40:23+00:00January 4th, 2025|Life|

Quicumque enim Spiritu Dei aguntur—hii filii sunt Dei. (For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.)—Rom 8:14. Normally, our New Year's Resolutions as Catholics should be few and concrete.  In past years, I have made so many resolutions at New Year's that I just drop them all in some sense of exasperation by the end of January.  (I think this is common for most of you.)  This is why I am simply going to do my best on the dozen resolutions that play into my rule of life instead of making concrete resolutions. Normally, I think such amorphous (eg "do my best at everything") [...]

Are Muslims Converting En Masse?

By |2025-01-03T14:09:05+00:00January 2nd, 2025|Theology|

p/c NYT and Jose Sachin on X New Orleans was the target of Muslim terrorism New Year's Eve, just two nights ago, as seen in the news above.  At least ten people were killed and over 30 were injured.  As this was on Bourbon Street, no one is considering the revelers to be Christian martyrs.  But it's a grim reminder that a Muslim (according to the Quran) gets brownie points for killing infidels. Muslims kill many Christian all over Africa, the Middle-East and the Far East every day.   Their blood is bearing fruit.  Perhaps the actual Muslim terrorists are not converting, but other more moderate Muslims across the globe [...]

Biden and Thomas on the Natural Law

By |2024-12-31T14:23:09+00:00December 31st, 2024|Theology|

Recently, I watched an excellent documentary called Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.  That movie includes the 1991 Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings where Clarence Thomas had to defend himself against the false-accusations of Anita Hill in regards to verbal sexual harassment.  Most people in the 1990s were fascinated by the racy language surrounding things like "Long Dong Silver" and other odd statements from Hill.  But what I found most interesting in the movie was that the then-Senator Joe Biden tried to hang Clarence Thomas on these false-accusations mainly because the Democrats were afraid Thomas was going to vote against abortion if he were elected to the Supreme Court. [...]

Holy Mary as the Exemplar of the Catholic Church (Article)

By |2025-01-07T23:18:05+00:00December 26th, 2024|Theology|

We are rounding the end of 2024 this week.  At the beginning of 2024, I wrote an article called Marian Devotion in a Church-Eclipse.  In it, I gave readers the negative reasons as to why Mary was our only guide to orthodoxy in an unprecedented era of compromised visibility due to a heretical hierarchy afflicting the true Catholic Church.   ("Visibility" is a normative mark of the true Church. It usually refers to the hierarchy. Yet many traditionalists now believe we are in an eclipse of that visibility, as predicted by Our Lady of La Salette, due to all the scandals both doctrinal and moral.) But today, I am going [...]

Christmas Eve’s Roman Martyrology

By |2024-12-24T20:13:43+00:00December 24th, 2024|Theology|

The Roman Martyrology is a definitive history of various Catholic saints listing about twenty martyrs a day from the early Church.  Each martyr receives about one sentence, so it only takes two minutes a day to read.  But Christmas Eve has a very unique beginning to its daily martyrs, as it also contains the history of the entire world leading up to the birth of Christ. These words are sung during Midnight Mass, as you will quickly recall: In the year, from the creation of the world, when in the beginning God created heaven and earth, five thousand, one hundred and ninety-nine; from the flood, two thousand, nine hundred and [...]

Padre Pio and Vatican II

By |2024-12-19T16:55:51+00:00December 19th, 2024|Theology|

Padre Pio lived from 1887 to 1968. This modern saint appears to many serious Catholics as if he were the last non-martyr saint.  Why?  Because he seems to be the last with apostolic miracles, apostolic faith and only the ancient sacraments at his belt—not to mention heaven's own approbation with extremely rare gifts like the stigmata, bilocation, healing and even raising the dead. Padre Pio is in a different galaxy of holiness than say, Carlo Acutis. (I'm sure that boy was a nice kid, but if all it takes to get "canonized" is to run a Catholic website, then even losers like me are going to be shoe-ins for the [...]

More Christian Tools to Help with the Narcissist

By |2024-12-17T16:35:43+00:00December 17th, 2024|Theology|

p/c Jeffrey Bruno at Helpers' Prayer Vigil at Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. As most of you know by now, the narcissist is not so much epitomized in the person seeking vain-glory, as the person who manipulates others so as to obtain an unearned vain-glory.  In the heart of the narcissist, there is usually an arrogance which often appears as meekness.  However, this is to cover a deep-seated insecurity.  The exorcist Fr. Ripperger has demonstrated this is also the false victim-mentality frequently found in both demons and Marxists. My advice on Christian Boundaries for Narcissists has normally been to Grey-Rock them.  To "Grey Rock" a person is basically to ignore them. [...]

VLX 161: Mt 27:32-34. The Carrying of the Cross.

By |2024-12-16T12:21:02+00:00December 16th, 2024|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

-STV: https://spiritustv.com/@padreperegrino -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry His cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when He tasted it, He would not drink it.
