Suffering Transformed In Your Life (by a Dominican.)
Guest Post: One of the evangelization tracts I keep in my truck is a small pamphlet called: Suffering: How to make the greatest evil in our lives our greatest happiness. It was written by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, an Irish Dominican born in 1871 (seen in the above picture.) Yes, yes, I know—your eyes probably just glazed over at the notion of reading about suffering from a Dominican from the 19th century. You already know what he's going to say? But there's a reason I keep this in my truck. It brings tremendous meaning to both Catholics and non-Catholics who are suffering (every person on the planet) so I encourage you to read this whole thing by the late Fr. Paul: Suffering is the great problem of human life. We all have to suffer. Sometimes small sorrows, sometimes greater ones fall [...]
The Humility of Apostolic Catholicism.
p/c Mary's Secretary. On this feast of St. Michael, let’s look at one of the only passages in the New Testament about the Archangel and and those who oppose him: For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ... just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous [...]

Got Hope in Human Nature?
For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”—Luke 23:31. The head of the synodal church (his words, not mine) recently stated to Crux: “We keep hoping. I believe strongly that we cannot give up hope, ever. I have high hopes in human nature. There is the negative side; there are bad actors, there are the temptations. On any side of any position, you can find motivations that are good and motivations that are not so good.” Hope in human nature? Not in Jesus Christ? Not the Catholic Church as the only way of salvation? Nope... hope in human nature. Some of you might think I am nitpicking his theology to be a tough-guy, but his words demonstrate the pinnacle of modernism—promoting not just a man-centered “church,” but even the alleged [...]
What Charlie Thought of Francis and Leo.
It is common at the death of a great man for smaller minds to weaponize great minds for their own personal wheelhouse of ideas. For example, in regards to the fallen Charlie Kirk, his friends on earth are currently engaged in bitter debates on if he was changing his once-favorable views towards the current state of Israel. (We will not be delving into that today.) People are also debating if Charlie Kirk was on his way to Catholicism before his assassination. Of course, Catholics are insisting he was. Evangelical Protestants are saying he was not. In previous articles, I wrote that I believed there was a good chance he was a catechumen in his heart, even if not on paper. While I can't prove this, I still hold to that as a serious possibility. Erika Kirk recently had an interview [...]

Why Are Protestants Chanting “Christ Is King”?
p/c Eric Daugherty. Why are Protestants chanting "Christ Is King" while Catholic bishops promote Black Lives Matter? Shouldn't it be the opposite? St. Thomas Aquinas once wrote "Grace builds on nature without destroying it." Similarly, we could say that Divine Revelation is built on the Natural Law without destroying it. When St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that, he never would have guessed large populations of so-called Catholics would be one day rejecting the bare-bones basics of the Natural Law like "Unborn children deserve to live" and "Marriage is between only one man and one woman" and "It is bad to mutilate your children, even if they have mental disorders." This is why liberal Catholics aren't actually Catholic. That’s not me being mean or looking for click-bait. You see, to be Catholic means your whole life is founded on the Divine Revelation. [...]

The Death of Dialogue in Church and State.
Above, Mrs. Erika Kirk mourns at the casket of her fallen husband, Mr. Charlie Kirk. Charlie was assassinated on 10 Sept 2025 by a male shooter (who had a trans-identifying boyfriend.) Candace Owens recently stated: “I can tell you factually: Charlie was praying the Rosary. Charlie was going to Mass.” Additionally, I am told by a good authority in Phoenix that Charlie and Erika had their marriage convalidated in the Catholic Church the day before his assassination. Thus, more and more evidence is surfacing indicating that God Himself might honor Charlie not just as a political martyr, but perhaps even as a religious martyr. Of course, many normy Catholics will scoff at my last paragraph: "Silly rad-trad, of course he was a martyr even if he just died a Christian but not a Catholic." But it's not that simple. Old [...]
