A Nanny-Church to Match the Nanny-State
Recently, Archbishop Viganò wrote, "Change – or better still, aggiornamento – has been so much at the center of the conciliar narrative that it has been the hallmark of Vatican II and has posited this assembly as the terminus post quem that sanctions the end of the ancien régime – the regime of the 'old religion,' of the 'old Mass,' of the 'pre-council' – and the beginning of the 'conciliar church,' with its 'new mass' and the substantial relativization of all dogma." Now, before everyone calls Viganò a "schismatic" for simply putting those two words "conciliar church" in scare quotes, we have to realize that some important clergy (who have never been called "schismatic" by modernist mainstream Catholics) also indicated that a counterfeit-church would eventually ape itself in place of the Catholic Church and ostensibly even front as the Catholic [...]

How To Pray for the Enemies of Holy Mother Church
My post-Mass meditation usually comes from a 19th century book of Jesuit Meditations. It's a phenomenal book. The meditation following Sunday's Mass was about enduring persecutions in light of the Sermon on the Mount. Before we get to the topic at hand, How To Pray for the Enemies of Holy Mother Church, I want to highlight a few other parts of Sunday's meditation on enduring persecutions. One of the most astonishing insights the anonymous Jesuit author made is that false-accusations make us already like Christ on earth. It reads: "And besides, is not the glory of being thus made like to the Son of God on earth before we join Him in heaven a sufficient cause for holy joy and pride?"—Practical Meditations p. 443. Christ's tells us that even our love on earth is supposed to reflect that of God [...]
VLX 153: Mt 26:47-56. “Twelve Legions of Angels.”
-Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take [...]
Trump Shot But Alive
This evening, on the 13th of July 2024, President Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, PA. It was obviously a failed assassination attempt. Trump got up triumphantly as seen in the picture above. One America News reports: "Butler county district attorney Richard Goldinger said the shooter is dead after injuring former President Trump, killing one audience member and injuring another in the shooting." Here's the most important tweets I have seen so far: Impeached. Arrested. Convicted. Shot. Still standing. pic.twitter.com/ys50YJfdyZ — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) July 13, 2024 Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t get to wiggle out of this with half hearted statements. They framed Trump as a modern Hitler. They framed him as a danger to society. They lied about his policies to incite fear. They framed his supporters as terrorists. They own this. [...]
You Did Not Irretrievably Botch Your Life.
Fr. Walter J. Ciszek S.J. wrote: Though our situation may have been somewhat unique, the temptation [to give up] was not. It is the same temptation faced by everyone who has followed a call and found that the realities of life were nothing like the expectations he had in the first flush of his vision and his enthusiasm. It is the temptation that comes to anyone, for example, who has entered religious life with a burning desire to serve God and him alone, only to find that the day-to-day life in religion is humdrum and pedestrian, equally as filled with moments of human misunderstanding, daily routines, and distractions. It is the same temptation faced by young couples in marriage, when the honeymoon is over, and they must face a seemingly endless existence in the same old place and the same [...]
The Four Virtues Needed in this Church Crisis
In a Vatican-approved apparition from the 16th century, the Mother of God appeared to a Spanish nun living in Quito, Ecuador in what became known as Our Lady of Good Success. (Yes, I know I normally criticize those who do transliterations when a translation is required, and yes I know "Good Success" is a transliteration not a translation. But Good Success is what it has become in English, so we accept it in common usage. Common usage is also a part of linguistics, even when it gets sloppy on the translation front.) In any case, while we know the divine aspect of the Catholic Church remains always pristine as the spotless Bride of Christ, we also know that the human aspect of the Catholic Church can become sullied. The Mother of God told that 16th century nun Mother Mariana [...]

“Alternative Lifestyles” Before the Destroyed Temple
Jesus left the temple and was going away, when His disciples came to point out to Him the buildings of the Temple. But He answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”—Mt 24:1-2 The above is Jesus Christ's own prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, just days before His Passion. Of course, God gave them 40 years to repent for killing Christ. When they did not, Jerusalem was razed by the Romans in 70AD. Not only early Christian sources, but even other Jewish and Roman sources chronicle that absolute destruction. Widely regarded as the greatest historian of the First Century in Jerusalem, Flavius Josephus wrote much about the Siege of Jerusalem (see above picture) and [...]
