Why Online Church Reform? I learned French, Spanish and Portuguese to go to the mission. Why now am I a hermit who prays several hours a day and now works at Church reform online? In my last non-Latin Mass assignment for my home diocese, I was hearing 10-40 hours of confessions a week, less than a golf shot from a large State University. Most of my penitents were University students and I'd sometimes hear confessions past midnight. I had no iPhone (only a flip-phone) and I had no FaceBook, Twitter, blog or podcast. I had no desire for social media. However, approximately one complaint per month against my orthodox doctrine [...]

The Near-Martyrdom of St. John the Apostle
As most of you know, the only apostle not martyred was St. John the Beloved (also called St. John the Theologian.) But as seen in the FSSP Ordo today (the 6th of May) there is an optional 4th class feast of St. John's near-martyrdom in boiling oil at the Latin Gate that is even celebrated in red (R) by the priest (if he can find it at the back of his '62 Missal!) Here's the Roman Calendar as produced by the FSSP: As the definitive and ancient Roman Martyrology reads on the 6th of May, "In Rome, the feast of St. John before the Latin Gate. Being bound and brought [...]

Totalitarianism Must Be Total
The above picture I snapped while traveling in New Orleans. I'm not sure why it was necessary to put that up since nearly no one in New Orleans dares to go into a restaurant without a mask. It's not like the above picture is actually stopping this imaginary 50% of the population of "right-wing science-deniers" who would "endanger the average population" in the overwhelming fear still set in motion on this coronavirus "pandemic" that has allegedly "overwhelmed the hospitals." Rather, the above sign of No Mask, No Service is simply a reminder that the shop-owners are in cahoots with the brainwashing team. The above picture I also took in New [...]

Do We Need Catholic Labels in the 21st Century?
I'm fully aware there were heated debates on matters of speculative theology between Franciscans and Dominicans in the Middle Ages on topics such as "Is the intellect or the will the is the primary faculty in the beatific vision? (I think the Franciscans said the will and the Dominicans said the intellect.) I'm also fully aware there were heated political factions in the 19th century between Catholics and that already there were debates in politics between "liberals" and "conservatives." But far and away, Catholics in the 13th century and Catholics in the 19th century (and every century in between) did not use nasty titles modern like "traditional Catholic" or "liberal [...]
