How to Conquer Temptation Immediately, by St. Alphonsus
PATIENCE UNDER TEMPTATION & THE MEANS OF CONQUERING With what arms are we to fight temptations in order to conquer? by S. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop & Doctor of the Church The first and principal, and I may say the only, and absolutely necessary means for conquering temptations, is to have recourse to God by prayer. This means is particularly necessary for conquering temptations against purity; In temptations it is also very useful to make the Sign of the Cross. The second means of conquering temptations is to humble yourself, and to distrust your own strength. Thus let us humble ourselves, and at the same time let us have recourse with confidence to God Who protects all that hope in Him. He is the protection of all that trust in Him. (Ps. Xvii. 31). The third means of overcoming temptations is [...]
QuickPod: Fr. Pavone Put What on His Altar?
Fr. Pavone Put What on His Altar? Nota Bene: If it was just a table, it proves my point even more that there is nothing wrong with putting an unborn baby on display to bring more people to the pro-life vote. https://rumble.com/embed/v1yp5d2/?pub=e5jg1

The “Deposit of the Faith” and “the Mode in Which It is Announced.”
Most liberal Catholics will happily admit that the Catholic hierarchy began to openly espouse a new data set of doctrinal points in the 1960s. (Many traditional Catholics—including myself—would ironically agree with this.) But there's a group of Catholics between the liberals and the traditionalists that will say something like, "No, no. Vatican II did not teach a new dogma. Vatican II simply taught us how to transmit the constant dogmas of the Catholic Church in a manner that is now packaged in a new way to accommodate the sensitivities of modern man." Fair enough. This is the teaching of many neo-con Catholics and it's essentially what I espoused in seminary and for the first half of my life as a priest. Earlier this year, I was telling a friend about the "Old Dogma with new Packaging" defense of Vatican II [...]
The Left is a Cult (in Both Church and State)
https://rumble.com/embed/v1v433u/?pub=e5jg1 In the late 1990s, I was an EMT. (I was not yet a paramedic, for that would come two years later when I returned to my hometown of Denver.) Living in Boston from 1996-2000, I brought pediatric patients in an ambulance to Boston Children's Hospital. It was the number-one Children's Hospital in the world, long before it had gender-mutilating clinics against children. I went to Boston in the late 1990s thinking it was a pretty Catholic city. Little did I know that the Spotlight scandals of decades of priests molesting children would explode shortly after I graduated pre-med from a Jesuit University, Boston College, in 2000. On 22 Nov 22, Tucker Carlson Tonight played that above 30-second clip from Boston Children's Hospital promoting their gender-clinic for kids. Tucker then commented on the above clip (or on-mobile here): "That is [...]

What did St. John the Baptist and St. Thomas More have in common?
The Immaculate Conception in the Mystical City of God
The above painting is of SS. Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The 17th century Spanish Franciscan abbess, Venerable Mary of Jesus of Ágreda of Spain, received a private-revelation on the life of the Immaculate Virgin Mary that comes to a few thousand pages in a book called The Mystical City of God. The Mystical City of God was attacked by the Jansenists as inauthentic. Is it reliable? Besides the fact that Sr. Mary of Ágreda has been declared "Venerable" by the Catholic Church, her book has the approval of Popes Innocent XI, Alexander VIII, Clement IX, Benedict XIII, Benedict XIV and Clement XIV. By "approved" we mean anywhere from recognizing the authenticity of "Ciudad de Dios" as extant and written by the Venerable Servant of God, all the way up to the fact that Pope Benedict XIII used these [...]
Six-Flags Over Colorado’s Catholicism
I was baptized, confirmed, worked as a city paramedic, and was later ordained a Catholic priest in the city limits of Denver, Colorado. Amazingly, what would one day be the city limits of Denver was originally under the jurisdiction of at least six apostolic territories due to shifting Catholic boundaries. (I am not here writing about different bishops. Denver has had eight ordinaries—three bishops and five archbishops—since its foundation as a diocese in 1868.) Rather, I am writing here that the land of northern Colorado (specifically Denver) was found under many different dioceses as ecclesiastical borders shifted. In my seminary (also in Denver) we took a class on the history of Catholicism in Colorado. Although I no longer have my text for that class, I recalled how northern Colorado was under the diocese or jurisdiction of Mexico City and then New [...]
Emily Rainey on the Moore County Substations
Here in North Carolina, Captain Emily Rainey explains her recent protest against a dr@g show that originally invited children. This wicked "adult entertainment" took place within 750 feet of a Catholic parish. Then the power went out for two days. (In blog picture: Fr. Isaac Mary Relyea, Captain Emily Rainey, Fr. David Nix.)
