Immodesty Puts Man Before the Tree in the Garden Again
"The sins which cause most souls to go to hell are the sins of the flesh.”—Bl. Jacinta of Fatima "Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.” - Our Lady of Fatima, 1917 Nota Bene I probably have more female friends than male friends striving for holiness, so this is not a dig on women. Indeed, we priests are usually harder on men than women, so this is going to be an "equalizer" blog post. The fact is that anybody (man or woman) who tempts another (man or woman) through immodesty becomes "the Tempter" to the other. However, due to the fact that more women in the Western Hemisphere dress gravely immodest than men and due to the fact men are more visually wired in their concupiscence than women, the following will refer primarily to female [...]
TCE 18: Hermeneutic of Continuity
Theology and Current Events (TCE) is about Catholic clergy using obedience as a pretext for heresy. If dogma has allegedly changed on so many points, then how can there by a “hermeneutic of continuity” between pre-and-post Conciliar doctrine and liturgy? https://youtu.be/7fCQSi2DKp0
The Denial of Christ Come in the Flesh
The above is the Vatican's official advertisement for their May 2021 Health Conference. It is clearly a mockery of the Creazione di Adamo painted in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican around 1510 by Michelangelo. Archbishop Viganò recently wrote that the hands of God and Adam being covered by latex gloves show "the regulations of the new 'health liturgy'" and imply "that even the Lord Himself might spread the virus." Archbishop Viganò also wrote in the above link: "At La Salette, Our Lady warned us: 'Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.' It will not be the Holy Church, indefectible by the promises of Christ, that will lose the Faith: it will be the sect that occupies the See of Most Blessed Peter and which today we see propagating the anti-gospel of the New World Order." Although [...]

Was St. John the Baptist Justified in the Womb of St. Elizabeth by the Voice of St. Mary?
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!"—Lk 1:39-42 (ESV) Many Church Fathers teach that St. John the Baptist was justified (cleansed of original sin) as soon as he heard the voice of Mary when he was in the womb of his mother Elizabeth. (This is one reason why he leapt for joy!) St. John the Baptist was conceived in original sin, but born without original sin as he was so filled with the Holy Spirit at the [...]

The Near-Martyrdom of St. John the Apostle
As most of you know, the only apostle not martyred was St. John the Beloved (also called St. John the Theologian.) But as seen in the FSSP Ordo today (the 6th of May) there is an optional 4th class feast of St. John's near-martyrdom in boiling oil at the Latin Gate that is even celebrated in red (R) by the priest (if he can find it at the back of his '62 Missal!) Here's the Roman Calendar as produced by the FSSP: As the definitive and ancient Roman Martyrology reads on the 6th of May, "In Rome, the feast of St. John before the Latin Gate. Being bound and brought to Rome from Ephesus by the order of Domitian, [St. John the Apostle] was condemned by the Senate to be cast, near the said gate, into a vessel of boiling [...]
