And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.” After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays [...]

Avoid All Fantasy Novels

By |2024-09-22T10:50:03+00:00August 25th, 2024|Life|

Late last week I visited a family that lives an hour and a half from my hermitage.  The wife of the family has been my friend for 20 years.  The husband has been my friend for about 10 years.  They have six children.  After a nice dinner of street tacos, they asked me for blessings with St. Charbel oil that I keep in my car, confessions for everyone, and a blessing of the home.  Upstairs, three boys share a room and three girls share a room.  The family loves outdoor sports and they seem afraid of nothing.  That is why I was surprised at what happened next. The oldest girl, [...]

Courage in the Immaculate Heart of Mary

By |2024-08-31T03:17:47+00:00August 22nd, 2024|Theology|

There's a lot of people on the good side of the Church crisis who strangely still choose silence under pretext of prudence.   Decent priests may say things like, "I won't preach against the heresy coming from the Vatican because I don't want to be removed from my congregation," or "I'll offer the Traditional Latin Mass secretly, but I can't be public about it because then it will harm my parish in the long run," or "I'll be suspended if I really say what I think about the papacy." Lay people may say things like, "I know I should correct my boss for taking Our Lord's name in vain, but [...]

Advice to Parents by St. Alphonsus

By |2024-08-20T01:53:01+00:00August 20th, 2024|Theology|

The following is "Advice to Parents," by St. Alphonsus Liguori, Saint and Doctor of the Church: The gospel tells us, that a good plant cannot produce bad fruit, and that a bad one cannot produce good fruit. We learn from this, that a good father brings up good children. But, if the parents are wicked, how can the children be virtuous? Our Lord says, in the same gospel, Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? (Matt. 7:16). So, it is impossible, or rather very difficult, to find children virtuous, who are brought up by immoral parents. Fathers and mothers, be attentive to this sermon, which is of [...]

A Marian View To the Church Crisis

By |2024-08-31T03:24:04+00:00August 15th, 2024|Theology|

Towards the end of an article at Tradition in Action, Dr. Marian T. Horvat, Ph. D wrote the following about Mary's own Triumph at the Cross.  I will put Dr. Horvat's words in below italics and my own commentary in this bold-orange font. But at the same time that her own heart was pierced with sorrow, she told Ven. Mary of Agreda, she was given a deep understanding of the mystery of that final affront, that is, that from this last pouring forth of the Precious Blood and water, a new Church issued forth that would spread out through the whole world. And she composed a canticle of praise of [...]

The “Pontifical Academy for Life” Now Allows Euthanasia?

By |2024-08-31T03:32:28+00:00August 13th, 2024|Theology|

Photo Credit at top:  "Pontifical Academy for Life." A new article at Crux is titled Vatican loosens stance on food, water for patients in vegetative state.  It reports on the "Pontifical Academy for Life" which just released an 80 page pamphlet in Italian nearly eliminating past parameters on end-of-life issues.   Shockingly, even the USCCB admits that pamphlet contains "an evolution of church teaching" on end-of-life issues.  If by "evolution" we mean a moral descent beneath how pagans know how to treat their elders, then that is accurate. Now, according to Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the "Pontifical Academy for Life," (all three words being false by this point) their [...]

At last two came forward and said, “This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are [...]

How To Detach While Loving People

By |2024-08-08T00:41:22+00:00August 8th, 2024|Theology|

Lay folks are getting more and more into Carmelite theology.  And that is a great thing.  Carmelite theology is all about detaching from creatures in order to attach to the Creator.  For a Carmelite priest like St. John of the Cross, this was ascetically difficult but strategically simple:  Detaching from creatures will automatically make a soul in grace cling more closely to the Creator.  Thus, a monk can live alone with The Alone. What Eastern Rite Christians call askesis is to detach from all creatures (people, food, pets, comforts, pleasures, locations) in order to go deeper into the prayer life. Some of the greatest authors on this topic of ascetical theology [...]

Tucker Stumbles Across Fatima

By |2024-08-06T13:30:14+00:00August 6th, 2024|Theology|

Tucker Carlson recently had on his show the former Navy-man Jack Posobiec. Jack frequently attends the Traditional Latin Mass.  Tucker seems to be on his way to Catholicism, or at least is taking his Christianity very seriously these days.   I set the time stamp in the above video around 1:43:00 in a chapter called "The Subversion of Christianity." Part of their conversation goes like this: Jack: "And so maybe the fact that communism kills 100 million people actually is the point of communism. And it's not equality, justice, diversity, DEI, peace, land, bread... What if the point actually is the killing?" Tucker: "And maybe if the victims are disproportionately [...]
