Exceptions to Being Pro-Life?
Even in high school, long before my conversion to traditional Catholicism, I was pro-life. I remember one guy from my high-school with whom I would work in the soup-kitchen in downtown Denver. He was part of the young Republican club and he told me that he was "pro-life except in cases of rape and incest." Even back then, before I had studied the defense of the pro-life position, I knew that a child should not have to pay for her life for the crime of her father. I knew he was wrong. If the unborn baby were human, then murder could never be justified based on any crime that led [...]

TCE 35: Four Years of Purgatory
Theology and Current Events (TCE) #35 is “Four Years of Purgatory” as the Key to Fr. Ciszek. The Catholic Church’s Servant of God Fr. Walter Joseph Ciszek SJ (1904-1984) wrote three books, the second of which is called “He Leadeth Me.” We look at pages 75-81 as a masterpiece of abandonment to Divine Providence in a real and difficult modern circumstance. -Please see my Life-Update and Advent-Appeal here: https://padreperegrino.org/2021/11/adventmessage/ https://youtu.be/17AllrONbKU

The First Week of July 1963
My mother's four grandparents moved from Ireland to Chicago in the first half of the 20th century, so I grew up hearing from extended family and peers what great men Cardinal Bernadin and President Kennedy were. I also graduated Boston College in 2000. So, even though I was raised in Denver, the fact is that Chicago Catholicism and Boston Catholicism are in my bloodstream. I trusted this version of Catholicism. But to rebuild traditional Catholicism and understand who to trust, perhaps we have to expose some of this evil, for St. Paul writes, "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them."—Eph 5:11. The following [...]

Advent Message to Benefactors and Listeners
Dear friends, family, readers, listeners and benefactors—both spiritual and material, Ave Maria! I wanted to thank you all for all of your support this past year. First, some great news: My VLX (Patristic Bible Study) and CPX (Catechism of Pope St. Pius X) and TCE (Theology and Current Events) reached it's first year of production about midway through 2021. Across all forums like YouTube and Apple podcasts, it is now getting about a million listens a year! It has been my dream for a long time to teach Scripture and catechesis as a traveling missionary, so this was an answer to a prayer in a roundabout way. I thank God (and [...]
