Stockholm Syndrome Part 2

By |2021-06-12T16:56:27+00:00March 18th, 2021|Theology|

We've already covered a kind of Stockholm Syndrome being brought on by the State here. Now we will look at the Church. This week, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) answered in the negative to the question Does the Church have the power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex? This might seem an orthodox response (and it is) but the CDF ironically quoted Amoris Laetitia (the 2016 document allowing divorced and remarried to receive Holy Communion without confession or annulment) by then saying, “There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous [...]

“They Wash Not Their Hands.”—Mt 15:2

By |2021-03-14T02:53:50+00:00March 11th, 2021|Theology|

Yesterday's Gospel in the Traditional Latin Mass reads: Then came to [Jesus] from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying: "Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread." But He answering, said to them: "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition?"—Mt 15:1-2 (DRB) St. Jerome comments on this in Matins: The stupidity of the Pharisees and Scribes is something extraordinary. (Mira pharisæórum scribarúmque stultítia.) They rebuke the Son of God because He doth not observe the traditions and commandments of men for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. It behoveth us to [...]

Better To Light One Candle Than Curse The Darkness

By |2021-02-19T15:01:42+00:00January 31st, 2021|Theology|

Why would a heretical priest like James Martin be ripping on the Traditional Latin Mass and the few ancient-believing Catholics who take the Gospel of Jesus Christ literally while his team of liberals have already successfully (and illegally) hijacked both the White House and the Vatican? Why would someone with an enormous social-media following like James Martin rip on the likes of Fr. Altman and Fr. Heilman and myself when our team is so small in number? The answer is two fold: First, because James Martin and his band of heretics know that even one candle will prevent his modernist darkness from spreading over the whole globe forever. A heretic [...]

Becket and Trump

By |2021-01-04T15:28:15+00:00January 4th, 2021|Theology|

It is nothing short of astonishing that a President of a traditionally Protestant country would name last week as a day dedicated to a Catholic bishop killed by a pre-Protestant state.  As most readers already know, President Donald Trump proclaimed "December 29, 2020, as the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Thomas Becket" here in the United States. Becket received his help from Rome, not from the State.  Perhaps Trump recognizes it is quite the opposite for conservative Catholics in the USA today:  Many support President Trump, not the current events in Rome.  It's a very strange irony that doesn't line up with Becket.  But what does line up with [...]

Resisting the Spiritual Arm of the New World Order

By |2020-10-06T12:40:12+00:00October 5th, 2020|Theology|

In a recent letter found on Marco Tosatti 's blog, Archbishop Viganò writes: "In recent days it has been reported in the news that the Jesuits in America have received grants of nearly two million dollars (over four years) from George Soros, and it seems that the same agreement between the Holy See and the Chinese Communist regime has been financed by large annual donations from Beijing to the Vatican coffers that are in a disastrous state. The fact that the Church fell prostrate before the lockdown, suspending liturgical celebrations and closing churches all over the world, has led to considerable collateral economic damage, for which Chinese donations and the [...]

Bell-Curve Catholicism

By |2020-10-02T13:56:35+00:00October 2nd, 2020|Theology|

So-called "Middle-of-the-Road" Catholics are becoming increasingly distressed at their own defectors to the camp of the “far left” of Fr. James Martin SJ and the camp of the “far right” of Dr. Taylor Marshall.  These Middle-of-the-Road Catholics are concerned at how many “pro-life Catholics” will still vote for Biden, especially as a new group of “defectors to the left" listens to the likes of Fr. James Martin. Such clergy of the far-left discount the notion of being a “one-issue voter” on abortion as we approach the election.  For this reason, liberal "pro-life Catholics" may have no problem voting for Biden because of other issues they dislike about Trump. But the [...]

Part 4 of My Commentary on Archbishop Viganò’s September 2020 Letter

By |2020-09-24T05:33:10+00:00September 24th, 2020|Theology|

This is the fourth and final part of the analysis I wrote on a recent letter from Archbishop Viganò to a layman. Archbishop Viganò’s words are in italics below. My words are in orange bold font. Dear Mr. Kokx,                   1 Sept 2020 ...continued from part 3... But in order to deserve the immortal glory of Heaven we are called to rediscover – in an emasculated age devoid of values such as honor, faithfulness to one’s word, and heroism – a fundamental aspect of the faith of every baptized person: the Christian life is a militia, and with the Sacrament of Confirmation [...]
