YouTube Re-Education Camp

By |2023-10-18T22:50:49+00:00October 19th, 2023|Theology|

The above is a screenshot from my YouTube channel.  But only the content-creator (myself) can see the above "warning" within the internal dashboard.  This has been perpetually present since I made a video against the Covid-19 "vaccine" in 2021.  It was a content violation, a thought-crime. But to lose the "warning" I just learned (Oct 2023) that I can to take a certain "training" from YouTube (YT.)  Hence, I call this blog post, "YouTube Re-Education Camp." I figured this would be like any multiple-choice continuing education that uses questions to surreptiously teach their own skewed worldview.  But YT's level of pro-abortion indoctrination in the training I took this month was [...]

Teaching Hell: Fearmongering or Negligence?

By |2023-10-05T12:09:38+00:00October 17th, 2023|Theology|

One of the most heretical things I hear from neo-con non-trads is: "While hell is a real possibility, we do not know if any person has ever gone there."  That's as irresponsible as telling teens, "Yes, we know car accidents are a real possibility, but we have no proof anyone actually dies in car wrecks."  Of course, the neo-con non-trad would respond to the above paragraph by saying, "Well, I do believe there have been fatal car accidents, but we have no proof in the Magisterium that any humans have ever gone to hell." First of all, Jesus spoke about hell and those who have gone there (including Judas—by name) [...]

The Three Grades of the TLM

By |2023-10-13T16:13:57+00:00October 12th, 2023|Theology|

The three grades (so to speak) of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) are listed in order of ascending solemnity: Low Mass: In this Mass, a lay person will probably just hear the priest whisper the Roman Canon without a choir or any chanting.  The above featured-image is me offering Holy Mass at a side altar in Portugal.  Notice that I have a server in that picture, but I never have a server in my hermitage for my daily low Mass.  Only two candles are lit upon the altar, whether the priest has a server or not.  Of course, in a low Mass it is still God the Son offering Himself [...]

Who Is the “Man of Lawlessness”?

By |2023-11-26T15:12:38+00:00October 10th, 2023|Theology|

Under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul wrote this to the Thessalonians about the man of lawlessness: Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself [...]

Six-Aspects of Modernism

By |2023-10-05T00:13:50+00:00October 5th, 2023|Theology|

"Modernism" is not an adaptation of some ancient Gospel to a needy modern man.  Neither is modernism living a healthy Catholicism that simply rejects a rad-trad time-warp. Rather, modernism is "the synthesis of all heresies, "as Pope St. Pius X has written, and we know heresy leads to hell.  What are these heresies?  I have included two or three aspects of modernism in past writings, but as I now want to include up to six deadly aspects found at the heart of modernism: A Man-Centered Religion:  Modernism replaces a vertical-religion for a horizontal-religion.  One example of this is how the Mass of the modernist faces man, not God.  Or, at [...]

God’s Goodness and the Permission of Evil

By |2023-10-30T19:07:48+00:00October 3rd, 2023|Theology|

The average amount of time someone spends reading my blog is about 90 seconds at one sitting, according to the WordPress stats.  So, if you only have 90 seconds, please read the three paragraphs Compendium of Theology by St. Thomas Aquinas below, as it's some of his most beautiful theology I have ever read. Then, if you have time, read my commentary in orange. God’s permission of evil in the things governed by Him is not inconsistent with the divine goodness. For, in the first place, the function of Providence is not to destroy but to save the nature of the beings governed. The perfection of the universe requires the existence of some beings [...]

Will the Antichrist Work Real-Miracles or Fake-Miracles?

By |2023-10-04T04:41:04+00:00September 28th, 2023|Theology|

For false-christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.—St. Matthew 24:24 Will the false prophets towards the end of the world be working real miracles or false miracles?  Our Lord says they will certainly appear to be "signs and wonders" performed by the enemies of His Kingdom.  But they will not be actual miracles.  They will be closer to magic than miracles.  We will consider the Old Testament and St. Thomas Aquinas to see why magic is not the same as miracles. When God asked Moses to free His people from the slavery of the Egyptians, [...]

Letter from a Notre Dame Grad to His Alma

By |2023-09-26T00:25:45+00:00September 26th, 2023|Theology|

From Padre: I'm a Boston College grad and my alma is obviously the rival of Notre Dame.   But one of my closest friends is named Shane who graduated ND just before I graduated BC in 2000. Below is his witty reply to an initial reply regarding his concern about the upcoming Drag Queen show at ND.  Shane allows for much more leeway on academic freedom than I would, but his reply also has the bite of a Neil McCaffrey Sr. from the 1980s: [Dear ND Lady,] Actually, that's funny because when Billy Joel was banned from performing [at Notre Dame], I believe he was later brought in to perform [...]

“Your Commandments Are Weapons.”—St. Augustine

By |2023-09-19T14:56:23+00:00September 21st, 2023|Theology|

We are in a very interesting time in Church history when some Catholics have a great desire to recognize the spiritual warfare into which they have been born. Yet, other Catholics seem interested in legalistic loopholes about how everyone (including themselves) has no responsibility towards their salvation. They hold this because the erroneously believe that either everyone is saved -or- anyone who can prove reduced-culpability or invincible-ignorance is thereby saved. There might even be overlap between these two groups! In other words, there may be Catholics doing binding prayers against demons who are at the same time looking for excuses not to keep the Commandments. But Our Lord Jesus said [...]

What is the Third-Secret of Fatima?

By |2023-09-20T03:53:53+00:00September 19th, 2023|Theology|

What is the Third Secret of Fatima?  The full Third Secret has not been released by the Vatican, but even many moderate Catholics today know it's more than the shooting of Pope John Paul II or a LARPing tale of future-crossbows on a Vatican hill.  Last week, I blogged here on Malachi Martin regarding the Jesuits, so I decided to quote him on Fatima today, too.  Although I have seen Martin's quotes in more places than one, they are nicely compiled in one spot by Gloria TV.  So, I simply reproduce their article here: Father Malachi Martin (reader of the Third Secret of Fatima) Interview with Bernard Janzen 1992, The [...]
