Pope St. Pius X and Joe Biden

By Father David Nix|2021-06-24T13:25:23+00:00June 24th, 2021|Theology|

The current contention on the pro-abortion unelected-President Joe Biden receiving Holy Communion is a late outgrowth in the debate between traditionalists and modernists on issues of dogma vs. conscience and Church vs. State. Pope St. Pius X saw all of this mayhem coming when he warned against those modernist political Catholics in Pascendi Dominici Gregis over 100 years ago. Pascendi, as it is now known, was an encyclical released by Pope St. Pius X on the 8th of September 1907. It is also known as "The Doctrines of the Modernists." The following is the saintly Pope's description of how bad Catholic Politicians were justifying themselves even when he wrote it: [...]

St. Ignatius of Antioch on the Eucharist and Unity with Rome

By Father David Nix|2021-06-23T01:18:09+00:00June 23rd, 2021|Theology|

St. Ignatius of Antioch was the disciple and close friend of St. John the Evangelist who wrote five books of the New Testament. What would St. Ignatius of Antioch say today to a Protestant or Eastern Orthodox asking him questions about salvation? I composed the following questions, but all of the answers come verbatim from the saint and martyr, Ignatius of Antioch, around the year 100 AD. How is Jesus with us after His Resurrection? "I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; [...]

Religious Indifferentism is Arianism

By Father David Nix|2021-06-21T16:29:56+00:00June 22nd, 2021|Theology|

If Pope St. Pius X was correct that "modernism is the synthesis of all heresies" then wouldn't we see all heresies of the past fulfilled in it? Yes we would see that. And yes we do see that If Jesus is merely the "privileged route to salvation," then all religions can be a vehicle to salvation. However, this notion is no different from Arianism. Here's why: Jesus claims to be God. Jesus claims to be the only way, truth and life. If this is not true, then He is not God. And this is Arianism. Thus, religious indifferentism encapsulates a thousand heresies, including Arianism. Notice that belief in the Trinity is [...]

Excommunicated After Abortion?

By Father David Nix|2025-01-21T20:11:43+00:00June 18th, 2021|Theology|

Since Apostolic days (1 Jn 5:17) the Catholic Church has delineated between venial sin and mortal sin. In the category of mortal sin, there are four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance. A small percentage of mortal sins also carry the weight of ex-communication (being cut off from the Church.) Canonically speaking, latae sententiae (automatic) excommunications are divided into “reserved” and “unreserved.” The former are reserved to the Apostolic Penitentiary, while the unreserved (e.g. elective abortion) are under the jurisdiction of the local ordinary. Some canonists say a person must know he is doing an ex-communicable sin to be ex-communicated. By this logic, a Catholic woman who knows she [...]

TCE 22: Lifting of Excommunication After Abortion

By Father David Nix|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 Father David Nix|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

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 [...]
