In the Spring of 2019, 18 year old Kenrick Castillo, top left, charged an active shooter at his high school to block bullets from hitting his friends. Kenrick had already taken his Catholic faith very seriously and was only 18 years old when he died from this heroic act. A Catholic school teacher who knew him later recalled, “In a video from her class that she posted to Facebook, Kendrick [acted] out the part of Jesus, going to search for his apostles or to comfort a suffering person, blessing them with the sign of the cross and inviting them to join him." Kenrick's father, John Castillo, said to local news about his [...]

This is the best thing I have seen since the scamdemic started. This Polish pastor kicks the Covidocracy Keystone Cops out, yelling "Gestapo!" and "Nazis!" at them. https://rumble.com/embed/vcqn5j/?pub=4 When I shared the above link on Facebook, someone told me he was a Protestant Pastor. I have never heard of a Polish Protestant Pastor, but if he is not Catholic, we have to ask: When are all Catholic priests going to stand up for their flock like this? Anyway, we're not afraid of a flu when Christ has conquered death either. Here is where I spent my first Solemn High Mass Triduum as Celebrant and also here below as sub-deacon for [...]

Cancel-Culture’s Liberal-Catholic Zombies Are After Me Again

I guess my Holy Week wouldn't be complete without false-accusations...again. This time, I'm considered "racist" for reporting how African immigrants see African-American culture on a podcast. My initial response to such ridiculous accusations is this: Reporting how, for example, Irish-immigrants see Irish-Americans would not be called "biased" by the cancel-culture liberals. Therefore, the very accusation that any comparison between African culture and African-American culture is "racist" naturally presupposes that blacks are an inferior race (which I do not hold, of course.) That the long-held premise of Democrats holding blacks as inferior is the only explanation to come to the conclusion that a discussion on African versus African-American culture is "racist." [...]

Home Chapels

I snapped the above pic in the home of some former parishioners of mine who had purchased a new home a few years ago and decided to turn a little circular hallway into a beautiful chapel. Because I had my Mass kit on me while passing through their town recently, I was able to offer Holy Mass on one of the little ledges (less than 11" deep.) The above example is what one can do with a little paint and elbow grease. The father of the family has many children and is a train mechanic, so I don't buy the argument that only the rich can establish a little sanctuary [...]

“Take Away Both Our Place and Our Nation”

By Father David Nix|2021-03-27T12:53:44+00:00March 26th, 2021|Theology|

From today's Gospel in the Friday of Passiontide we read: So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this Man performs many signs. If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."—John 11:47-48 As Passion week ramps up its tension against Jesus, we are given a rare glimpse into the mind of the Jewish hierarchy today in the 1st century. We know the Pharisees were already willing to kill Jesus out of jealousy, but today we are given an additional reason: They [...]

The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Should lay people pray the Roman Breviary? As far as the old-school Roman Breviary as found in the featured image above, I would say no. Why would I say no? Because it is 8 "canonical hours" of the Psalms on repeat all day long and most of us pray it in Latin. It takes 2-3 hours a day and we pray all 150 Psalms a week in Latin. 2-3 hours of Latin prayers is appropriate for a hermit like me, but probably not for a lay person like most of you. However, if you insist on a couple of the old-school canonical hours, there is a good app that has [...]

Even Washington Post admits that "both Hitler and Stalin were outdone by Mao Zedong. From 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of up to 45 million people – easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded." Mao Zedong killed more people than Hitler. Remember that as you read this blog post. Mao Zedong was a master of turning people-against-people under the pretense of moral purification. One of these sanctimonious moral issues that meant nothing to Mao (but allowed him to keep killing people while looking holy) was the plight of African-Americans. He wrote this pamphlet you can still find on Amazon: One [...]

Stockholm Syndrome Part 2

We've already covered a kind of Stockholm Syndrome being brought on by the State here. Now we will look at the Church. This week, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) answered in the negative to the question Does the Church have the power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex? This might seem an orthodox response (and it is) but the CDF ironically quoted Amoris Laetitia (the 2016 document allowing divorced and remarried to receive Holy Communion without confession or annulment) by then saying, “There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous [...]

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death, He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.—Heb 2:14-15 Wikipedia reports that the Black Death or Bubonic Plague between 1346 to 1353 left 70M-200M dead "and it is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population." Thus, a real plague is one where one out of every two people you know is dead. Imagine 50% of your neighbors dead. Imagine 50% of your family members dead. Imagine 50% [...]

“They Wash Not Their Hands.”—Mt 15:2

By Father David Nix|2021-03-14T02:53:50+00:00March 11th, 2021|Theology|

Yesterday's Gospel in the Traditional Latin Mass reads: Then came to [Jesus] from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying: "Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread." But He answering, said to them: "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition?"—Mt 15:1-2 (DRB) St. Jerome comments on this in Matins: The stupidity of the Pharisees and Scribes is something extraordinary. (Mira pharisæórum scribarúmque stultítia.) They rebuke the Son of God because He doth not observe the traditions and commandments of men for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. It behoveth us to [...]
