Self-Incriminating Struggle Session

By |2021-10-12T14:40:16+00:00October 12th, 2021|Theology|

The man at the top right is Jack Posobiec.  He is a 35 year old husband and father and a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic.  He learned Mandarin and lived in China working for the US Chamber of Commerce.  He was also in the Navy including several tours as well as serving for the Office of Naval Intelligence.  Jack now has 1.4M followers on Twitter, mostly conservatives like him.  Recently, on a podcast, he was describing tactics of the Chinese communists, including "struggle sessions."  In a "struggle session," a person convicted of thought crimes against communism was frequently to incriminate himself by confessing the "sins" against a state in a struggle-session.

Does Excommunicating Pro-Abortion Politicians Do Anything?

By |2021-10-11T03:46:45+00:00October 10th, 2021|Theology|

The new Code of Canon Law in Can. 1398 explains that anyone who "procures" an abortion is automatically (latæ sententiæ) excommunicated.  That is, anyone who participates in an abortion (mother, father, driver, doctor, nurse, etc.) is excommunicated by the very act of abortion (without a need of a penal declaration from a bishop.)  Hence, it was automatic.  Now, there is some debate if a pro-abortion politician who publicly promotes abortion is also ex-communicated automatically, for Canon 1329 speaks of circumstances "where a number of persons conspire together to commit an offense." Either way, the local bishop is required to publicly state the excommunication of a pro-abortion politician for the sake [...]

First Year of Solemn High Masses

By |2021-10-09T15:16:09+00:00October 9th, 2021|Life|

There are a few different ways to offer the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM): 1) The Solemn High Mass (which is the standard from the early Church, even though it is the most ornate.  See picture above for an example.) The Solemn High Mass requires three clerics (priest, deacon and sub-deacon) as well as many acolytes and a choir.  (A Pontifical High Mass is a Solemn High Mass with a bishop as the main cleric.) 2) The Missa Cantata, which requires a priest, several servers and a choir. (Thus, it is less ornate than the Solemn High Mass.) 3) The low Mass which can be offered by a priest with no [...]

An Alternative Religious-Exemption Form

By |2021-10-09T15:19:17+00:00October 9th, 2021|Theology|

A Catholic lawyer I know recently wrote a religious exemption that I found to be short and strong that I wish to share below.  Each employee will need to personalize their letter based on the specific job.  Keep in mind that your employer is not necessarily required to give anyone an exemption, but they should at least consider the request and work with you.  The below form is not legal advice.  It is only a form letter with some interesting new suggestions that individual Christians may want to consider.  Every employee's job, personal conscience, and situation is going to be different.  If you need specific advice about your situation, then you [...]

To Banish the TLM to the Catacombs

By |2021-10-05T04:03:41+00:00October 7th, 2021|Theology|

Recently, I heard a middle-aged exorcist give a talk about how all the elderly exorcists in the world agree that something happened in 1963 that tanked the power of the Church in exorcisms.  The middle-aged exorcist did not say what this event was.  I asked his friend, and his friend suspected it was this event that happened in 1963, reported even [barely] by Wikipedia:  "Windswept House describes a satanic ritual – the enthronement of Lucifer – taking place at Saint-Paul's Chapel inside Vatican City, on June 29, 1963. The book gives a depiction of high-ranking churchmen, cardinals, archbishops and prelatees of the Roman curia, taking oaths signed with their own [...]

Dream of a Restored Church

By |2021-10-03T19:49:54+00:00October 5th, 2021|Theology|

I frequently think that the return of Christ may be imminent, especially since it seems much of Matthew 24 has been fulfilled in the past 100 years and how much of 2 Thess 2 has been fulfilled in the past 10 years.  But a dream (literally a dream) this past week pumped the breaks on that expectation.  I decided against writing that entire dream here in my blog, and I certainly don't claim it was a private revelation, but I can say that the joy, peace, truth, love and light in the life of Catholics in that dream reminded me of the following approved private revelations on the restoration of [...]
