A Challenge to My Protestant Friends
p/c Michele Falzone, Colosseum at Sunrise I know that most evangelical "non-dommers" do not like the term "Protestant" anymore, but even National Geographic will place Christians who confess the Trinity into one of three categories: Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant. So, for the sake of brevity (and accuracy) I'm going to conglomerate under the title Protestant all of these: {emergent-Church folks, Mega-Church folks, Baptists, Pentecostals, Lutherans, evangelicals, Methodists, etc., etc.} With more and more Protestants following me on Twitter (especially evangelicals) and more and more Catholics attacking me on Twitter (especially liberal ones) I really don't like to write blog posts against Protestants anymore, considering I now have more in common with most evangelicals on the inerrancy of Scripture and the death-injection than 99% of the Roman Catholic bishops of the world. So, I do consider evangelicals to be men and women [...]

The Penance God Wants
Many Apostolic Catholics in the tradosophere are calling for increased prayer and penance in light of all the events of Church and State. I agree we need to increase both. Recently I have been asked: What is the penance we are to do? If we look at the past saints we see fasting, but we also see more intense tools of mortification like the hair-shirt and even the spiked-cilice. Of course, fasting is the most classic and healthiest of all physical mortifications, and we probably all need a lot more fasting in our life. Last summer, on a drive back from Moab to Denver, I was listening to the Our Lady of Revelation series by Fr. Philip Wolfe FSSP. This is a Vatican-approved apparition where the Mother of God appeared to Bruno Cornacchiola (born 1913) who at one point had [...]

Satan’s Targets: Man’s Heart and Woman’s Life-Giving Organs
I have been listening to podcasts with Dr. Peter McCullough MD and Dr. Robert Malone MD on the topic of the COVID-19 "vaccine." Dr. Peter McCullough MD is one of the most peer-reviewed and published cardiologists in the world out of Texas. Dr. Robert Malone MD is a graduate of Harvard Med and has dedicated a large part of his life to the development of mRNA vaccines. As most of you know, these physicians responded to COVID-19 in 2020 as most physicians did, namely, with medical concern that we were facing a looming enormous pandemic that could wipe out a significant portion of the population. Since then, however, these are two of the most outspoken men with the incontrovertible data (often from major health organizations now hostile to them) that the vaccine poses more of a danger than the actual [...]
Epiphany 2022
Epiphany falls on the 6th of January every year. Epiphany means "manifestation" and the three miracles of Epiphany are found (roughly) in the above three pictures and (exactly) in the three below accounts of Sacred Scripture because they are manifestations of the glory of Jesus Christ: The Magi 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.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem [...]

Lumen Ad Revelationem Gentium
[Simeon] took [Jesus] up in his arms and blessed God and said, “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”—Lk 2:28-35, ESV The above account in the Gospel of St. Luke happens during the presentation of Jesus in the temple [...]
