Many traditional priests tell lay people to mind their own sins, not the Church crisis. Similarly, many anonymous traditional accounts online who stood against the last Vatican regime now promote the current one. The overlap between the two groups of trads is this: Don't pay attention to the new Church crisis. Yet both groups still (thankfully!) espouse the analogy that as Christ the Bridegroom had to go to Calvary, so also must the Catholic Church (as Christ's bride) go through her final Passion. However, that puts us in a very awkward situation, because the same people who tell us the crisis ended following the 2025 Conclave can point to no [...]

Question: Who became the head of the Church of England after the death of King Henry VIII? Answer on AI: "After Henry VIII (top-left) died in 1547, his son Edward VI (top-right) succeeded him as the head of the Church of England.

Nine years ago, in 2016, you boldly wrote a public paternal correction in the form of several “dubia” (doubts) in regards to the moral theology heresies of Amoris Laetitia. If it went unanswered, you [...]

This is a guest post written by my good friend Jesse Romero. With his permission, I reproduce it from his own site. I crosspost it because his move from charismatic to traditional was very much like my own, with both of our own parents having been involved in the Catholic charismatic movement.  As always, Jesse's writing here is both clear and profound.  Make sure to see my recent interview on his show starting at minute 21 here about a recent adventure in my life. The Toronto blessing started in 1994, it was something that swept Protestant pentecostalism by storm for several years and it made its way into the Catholic Charismatic [...]
