Padre Pio and Vatican II

By Father David Nix|2024-12-19T16:55:51+00:00December 19th, 2024|Theology|

Padre Pio lived from 1887 to 1968. This modern saint appears to many serious Catholics as if he were the last non-martyr saint. Why? Because he seems to be the last with apostolic miracles, apostolic faith and only the ancient sacraments at his belt—not to mention heaven's own approbation with extremely rare gifts like the stigmata, bilocation, healing and even raising the dead. Padre Pio is in a different galaxy of holiness than say, Carlo Acutis. (I'm sure that boy was a nice kid, but if all it takes to get "canonized" is to run a Catholic website, then even losers like me are going to be shoe-ins for the [...]

More Christian Tools to Help with the Narcissist

p/c Jeffrey Bruno at Helpers' Prayer Vigil at Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. As most of you know by now, the narcissist is not so much epitomized in the person seeking vain-glory, as the person who manipulates others so as to obtain an unearned vain-glory. In the heart of the narcissist, there is usually an arrogance which often appears as meekness. However, this is to cover a deep-seated insecurity. The exorcist Fr. Ripperger has demonstrated this is also the false victim-mentality frequently found in both demons and Marxists. My advice on Christian Boundaries for Narcissists has normally been to Grey-Rock them. To "Grey Rock" a person is basically to ignore them. [...]

What Does a Future Pope Do With Vatican II?

By Father David Nix|2024-12-12T20:00:08+00:00December 12th, 2024|Theology|

Or, more specifically: What Does a Future Traditional Pope Do With Vatican II? First we must tackle these two questions: Was Vatican II inspired by the Holy Spirit? and/or Did Vatican II come from God? Before people get nervous about my answer, please realize that I'm going to give three answers and only eliminate one of those three as illogical. Here's the three answers to the two above questions in bold: Yes, Vatican II entirely came from God in the 1960s. Kind of—some aspects of Vatican II came from God and some didn't. It was unfortunately weaponized ambiguity and so we have to sift out the errors and keep the [...]

Was Russia Accurately Consecrated to Mary?

By Father David Nix|2024-12-12T03:29:56+00:00December 10th, 2024|Theology|

In this last quarter of 2024, we have bumped up against the threat of thermonuclear war several times. As everyone knows, every government contingency following the release of a single ICBM nuclear warhead always leads to mutually assured destruction for up to 90% of humanity. We have been bracing for this since the scamdemic, so I don't want to cry wolf. But we do need to review our theology in light of global politics again. Theologically, we must remember only one thing will get the Church (and subsequently the world) back on-track: A traditional Pope who validly consecrates Russia (and Russia alone) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (with all [...]

Your Emotions Are Not “God Speaking.”

Divinations and omens and dreams are folly, and like a woman with labor pains the mind has fancies. Unless they are sent from the Most High as a visitation, do not give your mind to them. For dreams have deceived many, and those who put their hope in them have failed.—Sir 34:5-7. Recently I saw some news: A large Catholic company hired a rabid pro-abort to do some voice-overs. When the Catholic CEO was challenged on this decision by mainstream Catholic media, the CEO said publicly, “It’s something we have discerned intensely” and “this is what God is calling us to do” and even added “we prayed deeply through this [...]

Three Things to Learn From Sirach

By Father David Nix|2024-12-02T12:25:21+00:00December 3rd, 2024|Theology|

One who trusts others too quickly is lightminded, and one who sins does wrong to himself. One who rejoices in wickedness will be condemned, and for one who hates gossip evil is lessened. Never repeat a conversation, and you will lose nothing at all. With friend or foe do not report it, and unless it would be a sin for you, do not disclose it; for some one has heard you and watched you, and when the time comes he will hate you.—Sir 19:4-9. Let's consider a few lines passage from the Sirach 19 (a book found on in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, not Protestant ones) and see what [...]

Thanksgiving and Purity

By Father David Nix|2024-11-29T12:03:52+00:00November 28th, 2024|Theology|

Many good Catholics today are striving for an increase in purity by both prayer and mortification. This is extremely commendable. But did you know the virtue of purity is directly connected to supernatural hope? And the virtue of supernatural hope is directly connected to gratitude? I found this while studying Scripture: Gratitude increases hope: The hope of an ungrateful man will melt like wintry frost and flow away like waste water.—Wis 16:29. ... and hope increases purity: And everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies Himself as He is pure.—1 John 3:3. Therefore, real gratitude increases both supernatural hope and purity. Purity of heart is not only something in regards [...]

Above from left to right: Will Goodman, myself (Fr. David Nix), Fr. Fidelis Moscinski in Washington DC several years ago after a trial for Red Rose Rescue. In Red Rose Rescue, we do peaceful counseling inside abortion centers with the insistence we cannot leave until every unborn child is safe from the instruments of the abortionist. This usually ends up resulting in our arrest. Friend #1: Fr. Fidelis and Will Goodman have spent a lot more time in prison than I have. Fr. Fidelis is out of prison after nearly a year behind bars. Will Good man is still in prison. Yesterday (23 Nov 24) I spoke on the phone [...]

I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will teach you all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but what things soever He shall hear, He shall speak. And the things that are to come, He shall shew you.—St. John 16:12-13. When I had a conversion in the late 1990s, I entered very deeply into Catholic apologetics in how to explain the Bible to Protestants. I was traveling around the world back then, too. One example is I had an American-Calvinist friend I met at the University of Paris. We debated [...]

A “Mayan Mass” and the Dialectic of Racism

By Father David Nix|2024-11-20T01:04:34+00:00November 19th, 2024|Theology|

The website The Communist defines Dialectical Materialism as the Marxist attempt "to understand the laws of society and nature in order to change them." For most countries in which Communism was briefly "successful" (and by "successful" I mean killing tens of millions of their own citizens while making an elite few rich) the events took place by fabricating tension in a society on the basis of economic differences between different strata of society. This was how Marxists in Russia began the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. But in the United States, this was a harder task for the communists (and now globalists) because our country was founded on a remarkable mobility [...]
