The Door to Fatima’s Modesty is Unlocked by Pope Pius XI
In 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to three shepherd children named Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. One of the things they saw in this apparition was demons and humans in hell. At an apparition later that year, 70,000 people (including atheists and communists) saw the miracle of the sun. A few years later, on the topic of modesty, Our Lady of Fatima said to the young visionary Jacinta Marto before her death in 1920: “Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much,” and “Woe to women lacking in modesty,” and “More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” What did she mean by "fashions"? The following papal decree outlining such fashions will probably be deemed "not necessary for salvation" by the same careless Catholics who say [...]

Fr. Altman Was Correct: You Can’t Be a Catholic and a Democrat
During the stolen US election last year, a bishop put on Twitter: "The right wing tells us bishops that we’re in the back pocket of the Democratic Party; the left wing tells us that we’re in the back pocket of the Republican Party. I’m just trying to stay centered on Jesus Christ and His Church." This is a very misleading tweet, first of all because the democratic party has been giving hundreds of millions of dollars to the US bishops many years back including $91,000,000 from democrats to the USCCB in 2016. It's also misleading because of a reason found in a reply on Twitter: "Your Eminence, you have to realize that the Left in America is trying to ban Catholicism in America. The Right in America is trying to fight that evil. It's not wrong to condemn a [...]

TCE 33: The “Greater Good” Is Not a Catholic Moral System
TCE (Theology and Current Events) #33 tackles when we should make decisions for “the greater good.” Does the end ever justify the means? Of course not. *** This podcast is a reading of my blog here https://padreperegrino.org/2021/11/greatergood/ quoting -Pope John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor at https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_06081993_veritatis-splendor.html -and “Conservative Momma” on FB at https://www.facebook.com/100044275487132/posts/435424134610099/?d=n https://rumble.com/embed/vmr0hp/?pub=4
The “Greater Good” is Not a Catholic Moral System
Eugenics, the notion that the strong can kill the weak, is built on the philosophy that population reduction may have to be done for the greater good of society. It's built on the part of Darwinian evolution called natural selection and survival of the fittest. Under this philosophy, the Nazi Holocaust was simply a moral attempt to cleanse their own society of weaker Jews "for the greater good" of society, as they Nazis might say. Why then do so many on the left today say that we have to make decisions on COVID "for the greater good"? Now, in their defense, libs do not want another holocaust. And proportionate decisions in bio-ethics can be made under extremely limited criteria. So, let's jump into those limited criteria to see if we can apply the notion of "the greater good" for global [...]

Men’s Groups: A Suggestion
Who is more chatty, men or women? You probably can guess my answer at face-value. But when you throw a single variable in there, and change it just a little bit, for example: “Who is more open about problems with new friends?” I believe the answer is: men. You see, if you started a women’s Bible Study, you would be lucky if you could get fellow women to open up about, say, internet temptations within three months of that Bible study getting together. But if you started a men’s Bible Study, the men would be open about internet problems that very first night. I mean it: That very first night you would have a bunch of weeping men. I’m not exaggerating. I used to work with FOCUS and our “thing” was campus Bible Studies. I found generally but not absolutely [...]
