“Loyal to the Teaching of the Faith”

By Father David Nix|2021-08-09T16:37:50+00:00August 10th, 2021|Theology|

As most of you know, the Archdiocese of New York City prohibited her priests from writing religious exemptions for the "Covid-19 vaccine" for the lay faithful seeking such paperwork. But what few people caught was that the Archdiocese stated that her lay faithful who are "very loyal to the teaching of the faith" are the very ones "acting in contradiction to the directives of the Pope." A friend pointed out to me that the above document does not just assert that traditional Catholics think they are "loyal to the teaching of the faith" but it actually says that they are "loyal to the teaching of the faith." This is not just an "aha, gotcha!" moment found [...]

Several Reasons Why You Should Not Take the Jab

By Father David Nix|2021-08-05T15:27:35+00:00August 5th, 2021|Theology|

We all face such a fast news-cycle today that people are now forgetting the basics as to why one should not take the COVID-19 "vaccine." As the mainstream media takes on a new propaganda program that would make even the old Soviet newspaper Pravda blush, let's review several very basic reasons why you should not take the COVID-19 "vaccine:" It was made from cell lines from aborted babies. These were real babies, as real as your children who never consented to be a part of a Frankenstein experiment to die in order to be injected into a billion people. And the best that Catholic moral theology pundits can say in [...]

The Rage and the Victory

By Father David Nix|2021-07-31T21:17:04+00:00August 3rd, 2021|Theology|

On the topic of the "vaccine," notice that the left is not quoting their false-science anymore as much as their morality. And their "morality" is now devolving into a diabolical rage and hatred against those who won't take their baby-injected jab: Yes, this is a real tweet I saw full of hatred for those who will not take the vaccine. This is the rage that is coming. A traditional Catholic woman on Twitter who goes by Rae (who I suggest everyone follow) posted this: As of early August 2021, we are not yet at level 7. But levels 1-6 are being fulfilled simultaneously against anyone who will not [...]

Yes, “Truth is a Person…” but…

Yes, “Truth is a Person…” but…

By Father David Nix|2021-08-04T18:28:37+00:00July 29th, 2021|Theology|

We often hear the phrase "Truth is a person, not a concept." I do like this phrase because it is a reference to Jesus Christ. Of course, it was Jesus who said I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.—John 14:6. But I fear that the phrase "Truth is a person, not a concept," is now being commandeered to place emotions over doctrine. I fear that some people who say that phrase are moving towards a state of placing their own personal emotions towards Christ over Christ's doctrine as established by the Catholic Church, especially as what is found in [...]

Staring Too Long Into the Abyss

By guest|2021-08-04T18:28:51+00:00July 27th, 2021|Theology|

by Guest Writer “Man is a rope,” Zarathustra cries out to the crowd, “fastened between animal and Superman – a rope over an abyss.” -- Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra “If you stare too long into the abyss, then it stares back at you.” -- Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil I read a lot of Nietzsche in college. While it has been years since I last picked up one of his works, I’ve been reflecting on his image of the abyss lately, following several “red pill” moments in the world and the Church that left me questioning whether there is any institution left worth trusting, if there is any [...]

Four Aspects of Modernism

By Father David Nix|2021-08-04T18:17:01+00:00July 22nd, 2021|Theology|

With the tension between Apostolic Catholics and modernist heretics reaching fever pitch this month, we have to return to the warning issued over 100 years ago by Pope St. Pius X on modernism, which he called "the synthesis of all heresies." Yes, I know we all get tired of hearing the term "modernism is the synthesis of all heresies." But we still have to stop and remind ourselves constantly that opposing modernism is not tantamount to opposing digital expressions of the Gospel or even opposing new "packaging" of the old-school Gospel in a digestible fashion to modern ears. Rather, we must remember that modernism is opposing that which attempts to [...]

Rule for Thinking With the Church #13

By Father David Nix|2021-07-20T01:56:18+00:00July 20th, 2021|Theology|

If we wish to proceed securely in all things, we must hold fast to the following principle: What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines. For I must be convinced that in Christ Our Lord, the bridegroom, and in His spouse the Church, only one Spirit holds sway, which governs and rules for the salvation of souls. For it is by the same Spirit and Lord who gave the Ten Commandments that our holy Mother Church is ruled and governed.—St. Ignatius of Loyola, Spiritual Exercises, Rules for Thinking with the Church #13 St. Ignatius of Loyola is one of my favorite saints. In [...]

“As if the Bride of the Lamb Could Have Two Voices”

Dr. Taylor Marshall spoke today about how Pope Benedict XVI attempted to bifurcate both the Roman Rite and the Papacy. In other words, it seems that the Roman Rite was bifurcated into the “ordinary form” and “extraordinary form” in the 2007 document, Summorum Pontificum and it seems that the Papacy was split into two as a “contemplative Pope” and an “active Pope" as even the Vatican's Archbishop Georg Gänswein has explained it. Such errors of creating new (and impossible) theological realities may be blamed upon what is called a “Hegelian dialectic.” Archbishop Viganò has this criticism of Pope Benedict XVI's philosophy of attempting to create new realities from his own brain: His Hegelian [...]
