Ex Substántia Matris

By |2021-06-11T22:35:43+00:00June 17th, 2021|Theology|

On Holy Trinity Sunday, every traditional priest reads the Athanasian Creed during Prime.  Prime is the third canonical hour of his Divine Office (Roman Breviary) of the day.  What struck me while reading this in Latin was this line: Deus est ex substántia Patris ante sǽcula génitus: et homo est ex substántia matris in sǽculo natus. This is translated as: God, of the Substance of the Father, Begotten before the worlds: and Man, of the substance of His mother, born in the world. St. Athanasius in his 4th century Creed of Trinity (against the Arians) is asserting that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity who is consubstantial [...]

Even the Left Criticizes Modernist Clergy

By |2021-06-15T23:12:50+00:00June 15th, 2021|Theology|

Notice this tweet from the Catholic Charities of the diocese of Oakland, California and how it had one "like" in 22 hours.   Perhaps nobody in the bay area pays attention to the Catholic Church anymore.  Or perhaps most Bay Area LGBT folks who are ex-Catholic have no interest in "liking" a group that can't even stand for its own values.  In other words, most people (straight or "gay") have no interest in "liking" a liberal branch of a conservative organization such as the Catholic Church.   Everybody knows we Catholics traditionally stood for chastity and purity for those who are "straight" and those who struggle with other issues.  However, twenty [...]

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

By |2021-06-12T21:28:15+00:00June 10th, 2021|Theology|

This Act of Reparation was prescribed to be recited on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor (8 May 1928). A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who piously recite the above act of reparation. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is publicly recited on the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Most sweet Jesus, whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence, and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thee, eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and [...]

Propaganda Reveals A Nation’s Personality

By |2021-06-09T01:58:16+00:00June 8th, 2021|Theology|

The above picture is a 1931 Russian propaganda poster that reads We Smite the Lazy Workers and can still be found in a collection in the Russian State Library in Moscow.   Westerners might laugh at the notion of hard-work being a snare to any political system, but Russians always saw life (including manual labor) as communal, not individual, even before communism. Archbishop Fulton Sheen warned hundreds of times that Russia's communism might come to the United States.  But what many American Catholics may forget is that Sheen was a Russophile, a great lover of Russia.  AB. Fulton Sheen frequently pointed out that Russia's ancient desire for community and Holy Russia's [...]

Evangelium Vitae and Ivermectin

By |2021-06-06T19:09:26+00:00June 3rd, 2021|Theology|

The California Catholic Conference accurately notes, "Vaccine development and production over the last several decades has often relied upon some cell lines that regrettably were originally developed from cells obtained from two fetuses that were aborted in the ‘70s and ‘80s."  The California Catholic Conference also accurately notes, "The Vatican’s doctrinal office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), has determined that it is 'morally acceptable' for Catholics to take these vaccines against the COVID-19 Virus." However, the conclusion of the above two agencies goes against not only ancient Popes, but even Pope John Paul II in Evangelium Vitae: This moral condemnation also regards procedures that exploit living human [...]

Lawful Authority

By |2021-06-02T22:29:41+00:00June 1st, 2021|Theology|

When there's not just a question of a stolen election but even evidence of it, we must remember that God preserves our conscience as Catholics who believe in the social reign of Christ the King.  This is a prayer I heard prayed publicly at a parish last month: Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ true God and true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. I believe O Jesus. That Thou are the Christ. The Son of the Living God. I proclaim my love. For the Vicar of Christ on Earth. I believe all the sacred truths Which the Holy Catholic Church Believes and [...]

Should a Young Traditionalist Submarine Through Normal Seminary?

By |2021-06-08T18:42:53+00:00May 27th, 2021|Theology|

Should a young man who is a traditional Catholic "submarine" himself into his own diocese so as to get ordained?  First, what does this question even mean?  This means:  "Should the young man who prefers the tradition of the Catholic Church join a Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) congregation -or- should he could join his home diocese by keeping his head down in a normie seminary so as to be ordained so that he can reach the average Catholic with the Gospel even if this means he must offer the new Mass in English (or Vietnamese or Spanish or French)? My answer is,  "No, a young traditionalist should not 'submarine' through seminary [...]

Two Thoughts On Pentecost

By |2021-05-25T12:22:01+00:00May 25th, 2021|Theology|

https://youtu.be/Fo4Ge3FMrDM A couple possible objections to my Pentecost video... First, didn't Pope John XXIII's promise of a New Pentecost come true in the Eastern Hemisphere?  The New Pentecost seems to be a dud since "the numbers tanked," as I said in the video.  At this point, a fair counter to the above would be:  "Ah yes, Fr. David, the numbers of Catholics greatly dropped in North America and South America since Vatican II, but the numbers of Catholics in Africa and Asia increased.  Doesn't this prove the New Pentecost?"  I admit this is a very strong retort.  However, my retort to the retort is equally simple:  The good bishops of Africa and Asia [...]

Ministry of Death Part 2

By |2021-05-20T23:29:10+00:00May 20th, 2021|Theology|

Ministry of Death Part 1 was about Scripture and coronavirus.  Today, Part 2, is about medicine turning into a new world religion being formed. Although I can not yet prove this, as I look at the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) I suspect the jab is killing more people under the age of 50 than the virus itself. Many more injuries are to come. Dr. Jacob Wes Ulm, MD, Ph.D., a geneticist, recently explained to the British Medical Journal and then in a comment to Science Mag here: “[S]ince the mRNA vaccines would induce SARS-CoV-2 viral spike protein expression, that seems to mean that people who get the mRNA vaccines [...]
