Pachamama and the Plagues of Egypt
Have we already forgotten the men who put a Pachamama idol in the Vatican? Have we forgotten the bishops and Cardinals who were complicit in this First Commandment violation through their resounding silence? As we will see, there are Biblical patterns that make sense of the fact that the people currently promoting pagan worship in the Catholic Church are the same ones overturning traditional worship. First of all, consider the fact that the word "Paschal" (Easter) has the same roots as "Passover." The Oxford Dictionary explains that "Paschal" was originally Middle English from the Old French taken from the ecclesiastical Latin paschalis. This word came from the similar Greek and Aramaic word which originally came from the Hebrew Pesaḥ meaning ‘Passover.' And what was the first Passover in Exodus all about? It was about the Hebrews escaping the death of [...]
Regaining Purpose After Lockdowns
The Journal of the American Medical Association has an article titled "Addressing the Long-term Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children and FamiliesA Report From the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine." Regarding this article, the Richmond Times-Dispatch ran the stats from this on "Deaths among children and teens." Notice the upsurge of suicides and other poisonings (intentional or unintentional, often unknown to even the medical examiner) during lockdowns: The Richmond Times-Dispatch then comments on the above stats of children and teens: "Deaths of American children and teens spiked between 2019 and 2021, the result of increased car wrecks, shootings and drug overdoses, according to a Virginia Commonwealth University survey of federal data published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association." This is why I was warning my readers and listeners at the beginning of the lockdowns that [...]
Good Catholics Need to Tackle the Hard Topics More
Here's seven reasons why we conservative and traditional Catholics must be more "political," not less, for "political" issues are more connected to evangelization than most people realize: 1. The Social Reign of Christ the King. Traditional Catholicism is built on the notion of no separation of Church and State. (Yes, you read that correctly.) That doesn't mean that we want a Catholic version of an Islamic Theocracy. Nor has the Catholic Church ever believe in forced-conversions (not even in the days of the Inquisition.) But just as nature abhors a vacuum, so do politics. Absent a group of leaders remaining under the Standard of Christ, we will be under the Trans-Rainbow Flag (the new religion of this country.) We will follow a religion, whether we like it or not. 2. Life and Death Issues. The difference between Republicans and Democrats [...]
The Denial That Sin Exists
To say that an unnatural sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance is no sin at all is tantamount to denying Christ was ever crucified, for He died to save us from our sins. In fact, the notion that mortal sins are not sins at all is essentially asserting that sin does not exist at all. Such is tantamount to apostasy or even atheism. Traditionally, the Catholic Church has taught that for a moral act to be just, the object and intention and circumstances must all be good. If only one of those is missing, the entire act is evil. Heretics of moral theology of the past 70 years have usually put the emphasis on intention to the detriment of object (deed) of the act. However, a fake-Catholic in Rome recently wrote to a fake-Catholic in NYC regarding such [...]

All of these things seem to have piled up in a way that is far outside my control at this point.
Mental Prayer to Heal Narcissism
Remember that the narcissistic person appears arrogant on the outside, but lives with tremendous inadequacy and insecurity on the inside. This is why the narcissist lives on the supply of validation of self and also the degradation or manipulation of others. Is there any hope for such people? I received an anonymous email from "two narcissists who married each other." One of the spouses wrote: "Long story short, we use a combination of plain old Catholic religious practices, health practices, and deliverance prayers. I do not think most people should give up on a narcissistic spouse. Maybe get away for safety if needed, but never give up hope." On the podcast precipitating that email, I said that God can indeed heal a person of narcissism. But perhaps I didn't give enough examples of hope. Nor did I give enough instruction [...]
Durable Power of Attorney Documents
There are many legal documents online similar to the one I created below. However, even Catholic modifications to the average durable power of attorney documents miss the two main aspects of euthanasia: 1) Artificial Nutrition and Hydration. Even the Vatican website (published several years before Pope Benedict XVI's semi-resignation) admits that artificial nutrition and hydration is always part of ordinary care in end-of-life decisions, provided the body can assimilate food and hydration (be it oral or artificial.) As most of you know, the Catholic Church always requires ordinary care (food and water) but not always extraordinary care (eg a ventilation machine) in order to preserve life. For example, intubation and ventilation are acceptable for the Catholic, but not always required. (In other words, there's nothing against a pro-life culture to "pull the plug" after a valiant attempt at saving a [...]

Second Sunday of Lent
Sunday Sermon Series (S1E13). "Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God."—2 Thess 2:3-4
Grey Rock Vs. Yellow Rock (a Narcissism Follow-Up)
After appearing on Dr. Taylor Marshall's show to discuss Christian Boundaries against Narcissists, I got numerous emails similar to this: "My spouse is a narcissist. I can't divorce him. I can't always grey-rock him. What else can I do?" (That is not a direct quote of anyone, but it is a summary of numerous emails I received.) In this video, Dr. Ramani explains how to go low-contact with a narcissist in your life. She says, "Low-contact is exactly what it sounds like: Really only the most essential contact... Low-contact is tight: Only essential communication, nothing but the facts. No emotion and only when necessary... Grey-Rocking is something that can be an add-on to low-contact. Grey Rocking is emotionless, flat, uninteresting: 'Yes... No... Ok.' It's you not taking the bait. But Grey-Rocking is a very tricky strategy: Being flat and not [...]
