“The Church Shall Be Scattered.”—Cardinal Manning

Today we are going to look at what two British Cardinals of the 19th century wrote about the last group of Catholics.  The first paragraph comes from Cardinal Newman: This is what I have to say about the last persecution and its signs. And surely it is profitable to think about it, though we be quite mistaken in the detail. For instance, after all perhaps it may not be a persecution of blood and death, but of craft and subtlety only—not of miracles, but of natural wonders and powers of human skill, human acquirements in the hands of the devil. Satan may adopt the more alarming weapons of deceit—he may hide himself—he may attempt to seduce us in little things, and so to move Christians, not all at once, but by little and little from their true position. We know [...]

Every Vocation Is Built Upon the Interior Life

A couple from another state texted me: "Hi Father, Thank you for the awesome Epiphany homily. I have some 'boots on the ground' thoughts for you. Seeing as how our parish is the fastest growing [trad. cong.] parish in North America (per Fr A.), I’d say the trends here are worth considering as we look at the end times prophecies.  The vast majority of solid families who made the Exodus to [our state in NW] are very young. They are simple, solid and unwavering. Most adults are converts or reverts. The oldest of whom have oldest children entering teen years. It is becoming clear that each large family will produce AT LEAST 2-4 vocations. So that means that in 10-30 years, traditional seminaries, monasteries and convents will see an exponential increase in vocations. There will also be exponential numbers of [...]

Epiphany and a A Light Upon the East

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him..—Mt 2:1-2, Gospel for Epiphany. Ven. Bartholomew Holzhauser was a Catholic priest and prophet of the 17th century.  He outlined the seven ages of the Church which some say refer to the seven candlesticks of the Apocalypse (see medieval manuscript as featured image above.)  The fourth age was the Middle Ages. The fifth age began an age of schism and heresy, beginning with the Protestant revolt. Ven. Bartholomew shows that this fifth age will include not only attacks from without (like Protestantism) but also an infiltration of heretics within Rome. [...]

The Papal-Coronation Oath

The following is the Coronation-Oath made by most or all Pope-Elects from at least 678 AD until the 1960s (when it was eradicated.) Notice what old-school Popes used to call down upon themselves, should they divert from Jesus Christ’s teaching as given to the Apostles: “I vow to change nothing of the received Tradition, and nothing thereof I have found before me guarded by my God-pleasing predecessors, to encroach upon, to alter, or to permit any innovation therein; "To the contrary: with glowing affection as her truly faithful student and successor, to safeguard reverently the passed-on good, with my whole strength and utmost effort; To cleanse all that is in contradiction to the canonical order, should such appear; to guard the Holy Canons and Decrees of our Popes as if they were the divine ordinance of Heaven, because I am [...]

What the LGBT-World and TLM-World Have In Common

A few times in the past, I had on my YouTube channel a man named Joseph Sciambra who had gone from an extremely dangerous gay lifestyle in San Francisco to becoming a traditional and chaste Catholic. He has since become Eastern Orthodox, partly due to the promotion of the gay-agenda within the Catholic Church.  A few years ago, Joseph indicated to me how the few people attending Fr. James Martin talks were almost all old. I believe he described such tiny Church-basement gatherings as being comprised of "parents of gays who want to change Church teaching." Joseph is right even today:  It's mostly straight old white people who are getting pumped at these so-called "changes" in the Catholic Church. Where are the most intense people in the LGBT movement? Ironically, they know the same thing as TLM (Traditional Latin Mass) [...]
