Above is The Denver Post's picture of Ms. Joyce Calvo-Chen In December 2019, a young woman named Miss Alana Chen (see picture far below) was found dead at age 24 and Boulder County, Colorado ruled it a suicide. Her mother, Ms. Joyce Calvo-Chen (see featured image at top) immediately pinned it on the past counseling of two diocesan priests (including myself) and two religious sisters. This was despite the fact I had not seen Alana for three years before her death. This was despite the fact that I was a priest at Joyce and Alana's Boulder parish from 2010-2011—a full nine years before Alana's death. At her death, I blogged [...]

Many Apostolic Catholics in the tradosophere are calling for increased prayer and penance in light of all the events of Church and State. I agree we need to increase both. Recently I have been asked: What is the penance we are to do? If we look at the past saints we see fasting, but we also see more intense tools of mortification like the hair-shirt and even the spiked-cilice. Of course, fasting is the most classic and healthiest of all physical mortifications, and we probably all need a lot more fasting in our life. Last summer, on a drive back from Moab to Denver, I was listening to the Our [...]

I have been listening to podcasts with Dr. Peter McCullough MD and Dr. Robert Malone MD on the topic of the COVID-19 "vaccine." Dr. Peter McCullough MD is one of the most peer-reviewed and published cardiologists in the world out of Texas. Dr. Robert Malone MD is a graduate of Harvard Med and has dedicated a large part of his life to the development of mRNA vaccines. As most of you know, these physicians responded to COVID-19 in 2020 as most physicians did, namely, with medical concern that we were facing a looming enormous pandemic that could wipe out a significant portion of the population. Since then, however, these are [...]
Epiphany falls on the 6th of January every year. Epiphany means "manifestation" and the three miracles of Epiphany are found (roughly) in the above three pictures and (exactly) in the three below accounts of Sacred Scripture because they are manifestations of the glory of Jesus Christ: The Magi Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He Who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all [...]

[Simeon] took [Jesus] up in his arms and blessed God and said, “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul [...]
