TCE 22: Lifting of Excommunication After Abortion

By |2025-01-21T20:09:34+00:00June 18th, 2021|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Theology and Current Events 22 is on various types of excommunication.  It also delves into how and why a priest can lift the excommunication incurred by abortion, but not other reserved sins. LATIN ABSOLUTION: "Misereatur tui omnipotens Deus, et, dimissis peccatis tuis perducat te ad vitam aeternam. Amen. Indulgentiam, absolutionem, et remissionem peccatorum tuorum, tribuat tibi omnipotens et misericors Dominus. Amen. Dominus noster Jesus Christus te absolvat: et ego auctoritate ipsius te absolvo ab omni vinculo excommunicationis, suspensionis, et interdicti, in quantum possum, et tu indiges. Deinde ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen." ENGLISH ABSOLUTION: "God, the Father of mercies, through [...]

Ex Substántia Matris

By |2021-06-11T22:35:43+00:00June 17th, 2021|Theology|

On Holy Trinity Sunday, every traditional priest reads the Athanasian Creed during Prime.  Prime is the third canonical hour of his Divine Office (Roman Breviary) of the day.  What struck me while reading this in Latin was this line: Deus est ex substántia Patris ante sǽcula génitus: et homo est ex substántia matris in sǽculo natus. This is translated as: God, of the Substance of the Father, Begotten before the worlds: and Man, of the substance of His mother, born in the world. St. Athanasius in his 4th century Creed of Trinity (against the Arians) is asserting that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity who is consubstantial [...]

Even the Left Criticizes Modernist Clergy

By |2021-06-15T23:12:50+00:00June 15th, 2021|Theology|

Notice this tweet from the Catholic Charities of the diocese of Oakland, California and how it had one "like" in 22 hours.   Perhaps nobody in the bay area pays attention to the Catholic Church anymore.  Or perhaps most Bay Area LGBT folks who are ex-Catholic have no interest in "liking" a group that can't even stand for its own values.  In other words, most people (straight or "gay") have no interest in "liking" a liberal branch of a conservative organization such as the Catholic Church.   Everybody knows we Catholics traditionally stood for chastity and purity for those who are "straight" and those who struggle with other issues.  However, twenty [...]

VLX 71: Humble of Heart

By |2021-06-14T17:56:48+00:00June 14th, 2021|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Mt 11:20-24 Support my work here:  https://padreperegrino.org/donate/ https://youtu.be/TAk8qDoRr2Y   “One will be sent in the flesh,” thundered the most beautiful Trinity to the angels and all the courts of heaven eons ago.  In perfect harmony they rejoiced.   But later they wondered if anyone but a lowly archangel like Raphael (still more glorious than a burning star) could dare condescend again to take flesh as Raphael did for Tobit.  Their best guess for the new assignment was Gabriel.  God said “Gabriel will go…but in spirit as preparation.  One much higher than he will become flesh.”  “But how?” the angels wondered, “A cherubim's eyes would melt the trees and mountains.  No human [...]

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

By |2021-06-12T21:28:15+00:00June 10th, 2021|Theology|

This Act of Reparation was prescribed to be recited on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor (8 May 1928). A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who piously recite the above act of reparation. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is publicly recited on the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Most sweet Jesus, whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence, and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thee, eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and [...]

Propaganda Reveals A Nation’s Personality

By |2021-06-09T01:58:16+00:00June 8th, 2021|Theology|

The above picture is a 1931 Russian propaganda poster that reads We Smite the Lazy Workers and can still be found in a collection in the Russian State Library in Moscow.   Westerners might laugh at the notion of hard-work being a snare to any political system, but Russians always saw life (including manual labor) as communal, not individual, even before communism. Archbishop Fulton Sheen warned hundreds of times that Russia's communism might come to the United States.  But what many American Catholics may forget is that Sheen was a Russophile, a great lover of Russia.  AB. Fulton Sheen frequently pointed out that Russia's ancient desire for community and Holy Russia's [...]
