How Can I Close the House of God?—Fr. Ganni

By |2021-07-07T21:46:52+00:00July 8th, 2021|Theology|

About four years ago, I said on the phone to my Navy SEAL friend (with whom I did this podcast and this podcast this year) that I feared the rise of militant Islam would persecute Christians in the West again.  What he said surprised me, namely that he feared more the rise of secularism in the West as a bigger threat to Catholics.  We'll come back to this suggestion halfway through this blog. On the 3rd of June 2007, Trinity Sunday after Pentecost, a 35 year-old Chaldean Catholic priest named Fr. Ragheed Ganni was shot and killed in his home country of Iraq by Muslims for not converting to Islam [...]

Discerning “The Great Reset” vs. “The Empire of Love”

By |2021-07-04T02:14:14+00:00July 6th, 2021|Theology|

Michael Matt recently made the point that the Great Reset is not an attack on man as much as an attack on God.  As Mr. Matt mentioned here, "even Adolph Hitler paid lip-service to God."  Indeed, the architects of the Great Reset like Klaus Schwab want to direct all of humanity in place of God without mention of God. The Great Reset is not only a project of genocide, but also an attempted attack on God Himself. I believe the most common phrase in the entire Bible is "Be Not Afraid."  It is in the Bible over 365 times.  So, if Christ's message is:  "Be Not Afraid" then we must [...]

Catholic Schools, EMS and the Death Jab

By |2021-07-02T05:58:27+00:00July 2nd, 2021|Theology|

In this short podcast, Patrick Coffin describes how the Catholic diocese of Orange, California issued an invitation to a Zoom meeting with an auxiliary bishop and the Superintendent of Catholic schools and two physicians including the President of the Orange Co. Chapter of the American Association of Pediatrics.  This was a Zoom meeting originally meant for Catholic parents of Catholic kids (going to Catholic schools) to "ask questions" about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine for their kids. But this Q &A session for Catholic leaders and Catholic parents didn't happen.  What did happen on that Zoom meeting, as Mr. Coffin relates, was "a non-stop aggressive sales-tactic with one goal in [...]

Marian Prayer of Bl. Junipero Serra

By |2021-06-28T13:32:10+00:00July 1st, 2021|Theology|

You may wish to save in your note-app this little-known prayer of a saint to Mary and pray it every day: O Purest Queen of heaven and earth, most perfect work of the Holy Trinity, since from all eternity the Father chose you for His daughter, the Son selected you to be His Mother and the Holy Spirit selected you as His spouse, there could not be the slightest imperfection, not even the smallest shadow of original sin on your soul.  As the first fruit of the redemption, your soul was free, beautiful and free from the initial moment of your conception.  Receive, O Mother, in virtue of this singular mystery, my [...]

How Humble Are Traditionalists?

By |2021-06-29T13:00:44+00:00June 29th, 2021|Theology|

For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day, according to the scriptures: And that He was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.—1 Cor 15:3-5 DRB. The Apostle Paul is writing here that what he delivered over to the early Christians is exactly what he first received (tradidi enim vobis in primis quod et accepi.) And this tradition was not just "small-t tradition," but "Big-T Tradition."  In other words, St. Paul delivered over Divine Revelation to others just as it [...]

“Always is Also a Forever”—Pope Benedict XVI

By |2021-06-27T21:06:21+00:00June 27th, 2021|Theology|

It is a good thing that both Ann Barnhardt and Estefanía Acosta frequently remind us of this decisive clue in unlocking the second greatest crisis in Catholic Church history second only—and linked—to what started in the 1960s: “The ‘always’ is also a ‘forever‘ – there can no longer be a return to the private sphere.  My decision to resign the active exercise of the ministry does not revoke this.  I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences, and so on. I am not abandoning the cross, but remaining in a new way at the side of the crucified Lord.  I no longer bear [...]

Life Update 2021.06.26

The Overton Window of Evangelization The Overton Window is described by Wikipedia as "the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time.  It is also known as the window of discourse. The term is named after American policy analyst Joseph P. Overton, who stated that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences." Notice that the enemies of Christ have changed their strategy the past two years.  What was seen as unthinkable just two years ago is now promoted by the left as not only acceptable but necessary.  For example, "Critical Race Theory" taught [...]
