Réddite Quæ Sunt Dei Deo
Sunday's TLM Gospel for the 22nd Sunday After Pentecost was just: Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare Him in His speech. And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: "Master, we know that Thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest Thou for any man: for Thou dost not regard the person of men. Tell us therefore what dost Thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: "Why do you tempt Me, ye hypocrites? Shew Me the coin of the tribute." And they offered Him a [...]

Commendation of the Soul
This morning my good friend's mother went to her eternal reward. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of praying the old rite prayers of the Commendation of the Soul. (I didn't know the above picture was being taken at the time.) The old rite prayers after the mysteries of holy Extreme Unction and after the Apostolic Pardon are extremely powerful. Here's an example of the many prayers we prayed and I assure you it's worth reading these examples:

Maria “Prius Concíperet Mente Quam Córpore.”
Prius concíperet mente quam córpore.—Pope St. Leo, First Sermon on the Nativity of the Lord (found in Matins of the old Divine Office on the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 10 October) on how the Immaculate Virgin Mary first conceived in her mind, even before her body. The Mystery of the Incarnation is defined as the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity (God the Son) becoming man as Jesus Christ—a zygote in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary is also known as the Mother of God and the Holy Theotokos. Obviously, Mary was not the formal cause of the Incarnation, but she did more than just [...]

My Perpetual Debate While Podcasting
As most of you know, I went to a normal diocesan seminary. One of those seminarians was later ordained for a midwest diocese. On his Facebook profile, he once put up an interesting conversation he had with an older priest. He asked the older priest if young priests would save the Church. The old priest said "No, young priests will not save the Church. Jesus Christ will save His Church." Of course, the post had hundreds and hundreds of likes. I wanted to "like" it too because it shows that Christ is in charge of His Church. I also wanted to "like" it because it reminds us priests to be [...]

Viganò’s Letter to the CDF on Inoculation Fallout
The following is Archbishop Vigano’s autumn 2022 letter to Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer SJ, the Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on the Catholic Church's accountability regarding the damages of the COVID-19 vaccine. Notice in the following that the italicized word Note is a reference to a document, not just a “note" as we have in English. Also, this letter is originally found with the full letterhead here, but I reproduce it for the sake of ease of sharing without having pop-up ads (which my blog will hopefully never contain.) 18 October 2022 Your Eminence, Last year, on October 23, 2021, I wrote a letter [...]

Is This Church-Crisis a Mousetrap for All Heresies?
St. Augustine wrote about the Passion and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Devil exulted when Christ died, and by that very death of Christ the Devil was overcome: he took food, as it were, from a trap. He gloated over the death as if he were appointed a deputy of death; that in which he rejoiced became a prison for him. The cross of the Lord became a trap for the Devil; the death of the Lord was the food by which he was ensnared. And behold, our Lord Jesus Christ rose again. Where is the death which hung upon the cross? Where is the reviling of the [...]

Walking the Highline Canal
Recently, I was praying my Roman Breviary while walking a beautiful autumn evening around the Highline canal trail, just south of Denver. I was born in the city-limits of Denver. I grew up in the city-limits of Denver, and ever since I was 12 years old, I loved maps and riding my bike around the Highline Canal. Now, 30 years later, I find myself still on the same trails. This autumn, as I walked the above trail praying the old Divine Office, I thought a lot of what has happened in twelve years since my ordination as a Catholic priest. As I walked and thought, I remembered an event that [...]
