Hermeneutic of Continuity or Hermeneutic of Rupture?

By Father David Nix|2021-09-22T03:15:35+00:00April 20th, 2021|Theology|

As a middle-of-the-road conservative in seminary, I would frequently say things like, "Vatican II did not change Catholic doctrine, but it did change how we package it for the post-modern mind." Or, perhaps I would say, "Dogma can't change but how we explain it can change." Phrases like this demonstrate the hermeneutic of continuity we clung to. We believed the Catholic Church before 1963 was the same as the Church after 1963. We just had to return to "the early Church" in order to "get back to the sources" if we wanted to square the circle, if we just lined up the stars correctly between the teachings of Pope St. [...]

UK Gov’t Reports Pfizer Vaccine’s “Adverse Reactions”

Compare this: https://twitter.com/abirballan/status/1379436287107559427?s=20 to this: Looks like God will not bless a vaccine taken from lines of babies dissected while alive for their "life-giving science." Also, as many of you already know, even the former Pfizer-VP has claimed the vaccine will lead to massive-scale depopulation.

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 and Mass Kits

By Father David Nix|2025-10-19T19:11:27+00:00March 30th, 2021|Theology|

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 [...]
