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.”
Update: The Catholic CEO mentioned below dropped the pro-abort from his audio line-up shortly after the production of this article. 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 [...]
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 [...]

Thanksgiving and Purity
Many good Catholics today are striving for an increase in purity by both prayer and mortification. This is extremely commendable. But did you know the virtue of purity is directly connected to supernatural hope? And the virtue of supernatural hope is directly connected to gratitude? I found this while studying Scripture: Gratitude increases hope: The hope of an ungrateful man will melt like wintry frost and flow away like waste water.—Wis 16:29. ... and hope increases purity: And everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies Himself as He is pure.—1 John 3:3. Therefore, real gratitude increases both supernatural hope and purity. Purity of heart is not only something in regards to the 6th and 9th commandment (although it is certainly those too) but also refers to seeking God-alone above all creatures and gifts. It's amazing that thanking God for those [...]
TCE 58: Persecuted Christians in the East.
Mr. Joseph Janssen is a Pakistani Catholic whose sister was tortured and imprisoned for Christ for eight years. To free her, he founded https://voiceforjustice.eu. Joseph’s sister was then released and she wrote a book called, “Under Threat of Death: A Mother's Faith in the Face of Injustice”: https://a.co/d/6oFUpbW Novena for the release from prison of Will and Shagufta: “O Saint Francis Xavier, well beloved and full of charity, in union with thee, I reverently adore the Majesty of God; and since I rejoice with exceeding joy in the singular gifts of grace bestowed upon thee during thy life, and thy gifts of glory after death, I give Him hearty thanks therefore; I beseech thee with all my heart’s devotion to be pleased to obtain for me, by thy effectual intercession, above all things, the grace of a holy life and [...]
Prayer Request: Two Friends in Prison
Above from left to right: Will Goodman, myself (Fr. David Nix), Fr. Fidelis Moscinski in Washington DC several years ago after a trial for Red Rose Rescue. In Red Rose Rescue, we do peaceful counseling inside abortion centers with the insistence we cannot leave until every unborn child is safe from the instruments of the abortionist. This usually ends up resulting in our arrest. Friend #1: Fr. Fidelis and Will Goodman have spent a lot more time in prison than I have. Fr. Fidelis is out of prison after nearly a year behind bars. Will Good man is still in prison. Yesterday (23 Nov 24) I spoke on the phone for about an hour to Fr. Fidelis. Most of this conversation was in regards to getting Will Goodman a second trip to the hospital for a neuro-trauma consult and further [...]
“The Spirit of Truth Will Teach You All Truth.”—Jn 16:12
I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will teach you all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but what things soever He shall hear, He shall speak. And the things that are to come, He shall shew you.—St. John 16:12-13. When I had a conversion in the late 1990s, I entered very deeply into Catholic apologetics in how to explain the Bible to Protestants. I was traveling around the world back then, too. One example is I had an American-Calvinist friend I met at the University of Paris. We debated the Bible in Europe. Our debate even made it back to the United States. I remember meeting him at a Denny's off I-25 and Alameda in Denver (still open) to [...]
