Christ: The Desert Rose

By Father David Nix|2022-04-08T00:11:58+00:00April 8th, 2022|Theology|

In EMS, we had a shorthand communication term called auto-ped which simply meant "pedestrian hit by a car." In four years on the ambulance, every auto-ped I saw was a hit-and-run. In other words, every time I showed up after someone ran over another person with their car, the perpetrators all fled the scene without helping the victim. 100% of them. Now, granted, if you talked to paramedics who were in the field for 20 years, they would probably say 95% of their auto-peds were hit-and-runs. (Their numbers would be different because medics in the field for more than just four years would have seen a few people stop for [...]

Viganò “On Irregularities” of 2013

By Father David Nix|2023-01-28T09:37:24+00:00April 5th, 2022|Theology|

I report today on how Archbishop Viganò answered several questions posed by Aldo Maria Valli in Italian. Thanks to Non Veni Pacem who first put them into Google Translate to get the English. I'm asking some Italian friends to correct the Google translation (if necessary.) It seems pretty good from my limited Italian. I'm including only one Q/A here from the interview: Valli: "Within the College of Cardinals, in your opinion, is there a credible, authentically Catholic figure on which the cardinals, in the event of a conclave, could make the votes converge for a total change of register compared to the current pontificate?" Viganò: "Certain Popes, let us not [...]

What is a Pro-Life Rescuer?

By guest|2022-04-05T14:30:09+00:00April 5th, 2022|Theology|

Guest Post by Will Goodman "What is a prolife rescuer" I wish to write about an ideal. And share what I have seen and learned from the lives of countless good people who have sacrificed their own lives to save the lives of others in pursuing this ideal. They have quite literally laid down their lives in love so that others may live. They are the rescuers. And this is what i have learned from them. A rescuer is called to be a witness. A very particular and unique witness. A rescuer is an advocate prepared to stay with the endangered victims, no matter what. A rescuer may choose to [...]

FBI Arrests My Friends After Discovering They Found Full-Term Murdered Babies

By Father David Nix|2022-04-03T19:18:45+00:00April 1st, 2022|Theology|

I just wrote in the Life Section of my blog about my friends in the pro-life movement who were taken with drawn guns by the FBI for a peaceful sit-in (aka "rescue") at an abortion center in Washington DC in 2020 where they were arrested. But as these events of late March 2022 have now exploded into mainstream media, I'm putting an updated story on my front page here. https://youtu.be/erIQTJ0dZWI The above footage on YouTube is from an FBI raid against pro-lifers just a couple days ago (March 2022.) But if the pro-life rescue (sit-in) took place in 2020, why did the FBI wait until 2022 to raid their homes? [...]

An Aborted Baby Saved by a Paramedic

By guest|2022-03-29T17:02:22+00:00March 31st, 2022|Theology|

This is a guest post written by a firemedic and father of a young man I met this year in Arizona who reads this blog. I am a retired captain for the Tucson Fire Department but before this I was a paramedic. It was during this time that I worked one of the most memorable and life changing moments of my career. The incident was on Friday, Sept. 21, 1990. Being my 29th birthday, I'll never forget the most unusual gift I have ever received from The Lord who truly works in mysterious ways. That Friday I arrived to work at Station 10 in the late afternoon. Our shift are [...]

How You Will Know When the Consecration Is Done Properly

By Father David Nix|2022-03-29T17:04:39+00:00March 29th, 2022|Theology|

Imagine you had a 12 year old son who punched your 10 year old daughter in the face. Let's say that son was very stubborn and you knew getting an apology out of him was going to be difficult. You bring your son and crying daughter into the same room and make him apologize. You know this will be difficult so you give him the exact words: "Say to your sister, 'I am sorry for punching you in the face.'" You know you need to give him those nine exact words because of past subterfuge this stubborn son will play with word games. Your son initially says to his sister [...]

Communism is the Easiest Way to Be Evil

By Father David Nix|2022-03-24T15:35:25+00:00March 24th, 2022|Theology|

Driving across the Mojave desert, I was recently thinking of my favorite saint (outside the 1st century) St. Francis Xavier. St. Francis was converted by St. Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century at the University of Paris and he went on to baptize a half million people in Southeast Asia and East Asia. On his missions, he was pure charity to the Indians but he was fire and brimstone to the Portuguese settlers who he constantly found whoring, trading, slaving and fighting. After numerous fruitless warnings to the eternal salvation of these men who were impeding his mission, Xavier finally wrote King John of Portugal to tell him (in [...]

Things Come to Life In Death

By Father David Nix|2022-03-24T15:40:55+00:00March 22nd, 2022|Theology|

p/c: Peter Sweden I have always found my spirituality in the Jesuit and Franciscan traditions, maybe also in the Carmelite traditions, too. Personally, I have always found Benedictine spirituality a bit boring when compared to, say, the stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi or the transports of St. Teresa of Avila or St. Peter Claver nursing to life mostly-dead African slaves sliding off boats onto the docks of Cartegena so he can evangelize and eventually baptize them. But as I look at a modern world that spends more time looking at a screen than the sky, listening to YouTube more than family members, laughing at Netflix characters more than with [...]
