Holy Mary as the Exemplar of the Catholic Church (Article)
We are rounding the end of 2024 this week. At the beginning of 2024, I wrote an article called Marian Devotion in a Church-Eclipse. In it, I gave readers the negative reasons as to why Mary was our only guide to orthodoxy in an unprecedented era of compromised visibility due to a heretical hierarchy afflicting the true Catholic Church. ("Visibility" is a normative mark of the true Church. It usually refers to the hierarchy. Yet many traditionalists now believe we are in an eclipse of that visibility, as predicted by Our Lady of La Salette, due to all the scandals both doctrinal and moral.) But today, I am going to give the positive reasons as to why Mary is the Exemplar both to the Catholic Church and the heart of the Sensus Fidelium. Just before St. Maximilian Kolbe was [...]
Christmas Eve’s Roman Martyrology
The Roman Martyrology is a definitive history of various Catholic saints listing about twenty martyrs a day from the early Church. Each martyr receives about one sentence, so it only takes two minutes a day to read. But Christmas Eve has a very unique beginning to its daily martyrs, as it also contains the history of the entire world leading up to the birth of Christ. These words are sung during Midnight Mass, as you will quickly recall: In the year, from the creation of the world, when in the beginning God created heaven and earth, five thousand, one hundred and ninety-nine; from the flood, two thousand, nine hundred and fifty-seven; from the birth of Abraham, two thousand and fifteen; from Moses and the coming of the Israelites out of Egypt, one thousand, five hundred and ten; from the anointing [...]

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 [...]
