The Dark Night of the Soul: What It Is Not.

By |2022-07-09T19:03:43+00:00July 9th, 2022|Theology|

In seminary, my favorite professor taught both ascetical and Carmelite theology. I agree with him that St. John of the Cross was probably not a sullen melancholic. St. John is made out to be today as a debby-downer (especially by us perman-grin Americans) because he writes so much about detachment. But even a cursory study of the life of St. John of the Cross reveals his high levels of energy, not only towards the ascetical life, but even the evangelical life of helping the townsfolk outside his 16th century monastery in Spain. St. John of the Cross' pathway of the Nada, Nada, Nada is where we arrive at the apex [...]

How Conservative Family Lines Went Woke

By |2022-07-06T01:39:52+00:00July 6th, 2022|Theology|

Really, the full title of this blog should be How Conservative Family Lines Went Woke In Just a Few Generations.  It didn't happen overnight.  This is not a blog post to cheer on the right and condemn the leftists.  It's to ask how our every country in the West went from being civilized to uncivilized in less than 100 years.  You all know my theological answers on this, on how "politics is downstream of politics" and how "every grace and error flows from the altar."  I also now admit that Vatican II was not the root of modernism, but was just the "coming out" party for modernism. But at the [...]

“Ecclesia Dei Adflicta” Turns 34 Years Old

By |2022-07-29T17:06:38+00:00July 2nd, 2022|Theology|

June and July mark some bittersweet anniversaries in the traditional movement.  It was on 30 June 1988 that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer did episcopal consecrations without the approval of Rome.  Pope John Paul II quickly wrote a document called Ecclesia Dei Adflicta, meaning "On the Afflicted Church of God."  This is a barely-veiled reference to imply that Archbishop Lefebvre himself was "afflicting the Church of God" by consecrating bishops without the Pope's approval.  Three weeks later, on 18 July 1988, the FSSP was founded with the approval of Rome to remain both canonically regular and maintain the old-rite sacraments. I believe one of the main [...]

The Last CPX (and my Upcoming RCT)

By |2022-07-14T19:39:58+00:00July 1st, 2022|Theology|

Yesterday, we released the very last CPX video, found on this YouTube playlist.  CPX stands for Catechism of Pius X.  It is my doctrinal and catechetical series of 15 minute videos numbered from 1 to 113.   Each video contains about five minutes of my reading an old-school catechism and then about ten minutes of my commentary on it.  Of course, my commentary is not as important as the words of a canonized Pope from 100 years ago.  However, my application to a post-modern man who is battling the heresy of modernism is something the holy Pope never expected to be in the battle-array of a priest in the not-too-distant [...]

Pro-Life Martyr Jim Pouillon

By |2022-06-26T15:47:26+00:00June 26th, 2022|Theology|

Even the Wikipedia page for Jim Pouillon reads that "the murder of Jim Pouillon occurred on September 11, 2009... Pouillon was killed while protesting against abortion in front of Owosso High School in Owosso, Michigan."  The man who killed Pouillon is named Harlan James Drake.  That same day, he shot a businessman named Michael Fuoss at a different location.  Fuoss was also killed.  May God rest his soul. Because the two events were unrelated, and because the second shooting had nothing to do with the abortion debate, one might argue that Pouillon just happened to be at "the wrong place at the wrong time," namely, in front of an abortion center.  Furthermore, I [...]

Why Murder of an Unborn Child May Be Worse than Murder of An Adult

By |2022-06-24T15:51:56+00:00June 23rd, 2022|Theology|

Here's four ways abortion is possibly worse than the murder of an adult: 1. The level of innocence. I am not saying any babies are conceived without original sin. I'm simply saying they have no actual sin on their hands at the moment of their slaughter, unlike adult victims of homicide. 2. Abortion is a bloody sacrifice to demons as a mockery of the Mass.  The Mass is an unbloody sacrifice to God. 3. Every abortion drags a dozen people to hell, regardless of where that baby goes (heaven, or much more likely—limbo.) 4. By the sheer number of these murders, chaos is introduced into a society and demons' power [...]
