Are Diocesan Priests “Self-Employed”?

By |2021-10-17T13:28:32+00:00October 21st, 2021|Theology|

There's a lot of talk of bishops being the "spiritual fathers" to their priests.  I like that idea a lot, but let's see if it's true. In 1997 in Connecticut, there was a priestly scandal in Bridgeport that was brought to light several years before the "summer of shame" in the nearly-neighboring Archdiocese of Boston.   The Hartfort Courant ran the story of an accused priest titled The Priest as Independent Contractor and I'll include the first 135 words here: More should be expected from a man of the cloth than Bridgeport Roman Catholic Bishop Edward M. Egan delivered earlier this month at a federal trial in New Haven.  Bishop [...]

A “different” church is a “false” church

By |2021-10-17T13:31:28+00:00October 19th, 2021|Theology|

We traditionalists often use the term "Remnant Church" to refer to other traditionalist Catholics.   Similarly, we may use terms against the modernists like "parallel church" or "false church" or "eclipsed church" or "counterfeit church." Of course, we all know that at the end of the day, that there can be only one Church, for Christ can have only one spouse, the Catholic Church: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her, that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the Church to Himself in splendor."—Eph 5:25-27a. Archbishop Viganò uses [...]

Compliance and Genocide

By |2021-10-18T10:30:07+00:00October 17th, 2021|Theology|

Consider just the past 100 years of politics, not medicine, and table that big debate of which will kill more people:  covid or the jab?  The topic I want to look at is:  Would communist regimes rather have compliance or death for their own citizens?  The answer is:  Compliance, but death is a good second option.  That was the case for those running the show of economic-communism, at least, in the past 100 years of socialist regimes. But under health-communism, it's a little different.  The technocrats now running the show at the very top of the global pecking-order are truly concerned with "climate change" and they see it as their [...]

The Maccabees, the TLM and the “Vaccine”

By |2021-10-14T14:40:41+00:00October 14th, 2021|Theology|

Who were the Maccabees? Dr. Taylor Marshall writes here:  The “Maccabees,” or more properly the Hasmoneans, were a Jewish priestly family that led the just rebellion against the Greco-Syrians under Antiochus IV Epiphanes in the second century before Christ. The Maccabees were led by Mathathias and then by his third son Judas “Maccabeus.” The nickname comes from the Aramaic maccaba meaning “hammer.” So his name was “Judas the Hammer.” The nickname “Maccaba” was extended to the entire family and descendants of Mathathias. The nickname, no doubt, refers to Judas’ “hammering” of the enemies of God in battle. The true patronymic of the family was Hasmonean.  In 1 Maccabees, the pagan [...]
