If You Build It, They Will Come
He said therefore to them again: "Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent Me, I also send you." When He had said this, He breathed on them; and He said to them: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."—St. John 20:21-23. Most of my articles are directed to Catholic laity, but this is one of the rare ones where I am writing to other priests. The only message of this article is: Please add more confession times. If you do, the penitents will come. In rural areas, it might take some penance on the part of the priest to drum up penitents. Even though the rural areas of the United States are clearly more conservative than the urban areas, it is my [...]
Red Rose Rescue Update
On today's episode, we discuss my upcoming trial and potential jail time in 2025 for a 2019 rescue inside an abortion center. We also discuss our predictions on a future traditional Pope. This is a reproduction of an interview that John-Henry Westen did of me on LifeSite News.
The Holy Sacrifice and the Unholy Sacrifice.
p/c New Liturgical Movement, NBC. The priest sunders with unbloody cut the body and blood of the Lord, using his voice as a sword.—St. Gregory Nazianzen. The above is a quote from an Eastern Church Father (recognized as a saint by both the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Christians.) St. Gregory in that quote means that the dual consecration at Mass (the bread becoming the body and the wine becoming the blood) effects a mystical and unbloody separation of the body and blood. This is because it happens in two separate sets of consecration. In a mystical way, this separation of blood from body somehow comprises the fact that the Mass is a sacrifice. Indeed, all sacrifice is made up of blood being removed from a body at at least some point. This may be why before Vatican II, [...]
Immaculate Mary: Mirror of Justice.
Every angel saw nearly all of creation during its creation in what was called the "first instance" (not found in the same time frame as us on earth.) During the "second instance," each angel had the chance to obey God or disobey Him through some act of sacrifice of its will in regards to its specific mission (where it stayed an angel or became a demon.) Then, the "third instance" was immediate reward with the beatific vision (if the angel obeyed) or damnation into hell where its will is locked into rebellion against God forever. There is a talk by the exorcist Fr. Ripperger titled Our Lady of Sorrows and Healing, in which the demon Beelzebub was speaking through a possessed woman in the solemn rite of exorcism. The demon was using the vocal cords of the possessed woman to [...]
Bas Rutten Interviewed by Padre Peregrino
Dutchman Sebastiaan Rutten was inducted into the Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Fame in 2015. Shortly after that, he became a traditional Catholic.
How to Evangelize Leftists.
p/c Jeffrey Bruno For the longest time, I believed the Right could reason with the Left with evidence on the many incendiary issues lighting up Church and State over the last decade. Because I had two conversions (from left to neo-con, and then neo-con to trad as I recounted in this video here) I believed everyone else had a desire to seek the truth as I did. "If the evidence were simply presented in charity," I reasoned in regard to any dozen topics of Church and State, "then many more people would repent of their former errors and quickly convert." I actually still think that is true, but there's a deeper and darker side we need to consider. At one point in my adult life, I believed if we could just show pictures of the ripped-up unborn babies, the [...]
The Great Inversion of Love
Many new traditionalists may be ignorant of the fact that the first heretics excommunicated by Pope St. Pius X were heretics in their denial on the inerrancy of Sacred Scripture. For instance, Pope St. Pius X excommunicated the French seminary professor, Fr. Loisy, for denying the supernatural aspects of the Bible. Notice that Fr. Loisy was not excommunicated for liturgical issues or even moral issues, but denying the Bible. This makes sense the initial heretics of modernism doubted Scripture, for Satan himself first said "Did God really say...?" Later in the 20th century, we saw the heresies of Fr. Loisy and others mushroom out into the heresy of modernism that then encapsulated liturgical novelties, overhauling all the old sacraments, re-arranging the Catholic calendar and overturning nearly every moral tenet of the Catholic faith, included but not limited to contraception and [...]
VLX 163: Mt 27:38-44. “Come Down From the Cross.”
-STV: https://spiritustv.com/@padreperegrino -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino -Gospel: “Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, ‘You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.’ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.”’” And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.” -Audio bumpers: [...]
RIP Bishop Williamson
Bishop Williamson was born Richard Nelson Williamson on 8 March 1940. A convert to the Catholic faith, he was consecrated a bishop by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988. He fell asleep in the Lord at 23:23h GMT last night on 29 January 2025. I had the honor of staying with him in the UK two years ago. Also, I interviewed him on my channel just a few months ago here. Bp. Williamson drew a brilliant outline connecting Protestantism to modernism via naturalism, rationalism, ecumenism and even communism as seen below. Always standing against the revolution within the Church, Bp. Williamson was a living St. Athansius who stood for true, orthodox and timeless Catholicism. He did this as the world stood against him. Requiescat in pace, good bishop. Link to PDF version
Closing Our Dangerous Borders: Trump, the USCCB and Aquinas
The above picture is Venezuelan criminals known to the Aurora, CO police department. There are thousands of Venezuelan immigrants near my hermitage in Aurora, CO. I have spoken to and helped some of them seeking a better life for their families. (I asked one in Spanish how he crossed the border and he simply admitted: "I walked across it.") But other Venezuelans who came to my town took over a building where they raped and killed people to such an extent that even the Aurora police were unable to enter it this last summer. A few of these dangerous gangsters are seen in the above picture. When the office of the Governor of Colorado said such threats were in the "imagination" of conservatives, the video of armed Venezuelan gangs in Aurora went viral and got lawmakers and police into action [...]
