Padre Pio and Vatican II

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 honors of the altar one day.  Heaven forbid such a low bar.) Again, note closely I wrote non-martyr saint.  See how I have been recently posting even on Twitter about [...]

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.  Of course, there is a slightly more charitable approach where you can "Yellow-Rock" the narcissist.  The Yellow-Rock technique is similar to the Grey-Rock method insofar as you refrain from sharing [...]

VLX 161: Mt 27:32-34. The Carrying of the Cross.

-STV: https://spiritustv.com/@padreperegrino -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry His cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when He tasted it, He would not drink it.

What Does a Future Pope Do With Vatican II?

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 orthodox statements. Vatican II was not from God and it has to be put in the trash heap of Catholic Church history. The first answer would obviously belong to modernists [...]

Was Russia Accurately Consecrated to Mary?

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 the bishops in tow.) How do we know this wasn't already done? Newt Gingrich made a movie called Nine Days That Changed the World and the description under the link [...]

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 decision and consulted heavily with our advisors.” Shockingly, the mainstream Catholic media gave him a "pass" on such silly gnosticism.  Was this because it sounded like a pious answer?  Probably [...]

Three Things to Learn From Sirach

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 we can learn. 1) One who trusts others too quickly is lightminded.  Since the scamdemic, the entire world faced an isolation it had never seen.  It wasn't just the lockdowns [...]
