Please do not let anyone who has not yet heard the “birds and the bees” listen to this podcast. It is about the medical effects of the birth control pill that I’m reposting from a recent radio interview that I did. I'm traveling this weekend, so only this Sunday will be a repost from another podcast channel. Our radio show tonight on birth control methods references several modern medical studies, including those I linked here, here, here and here.
The first half of this Sunday sermon is truth and the second half is compassion for those struggling with gender-identity disorders. I referenced this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7lxdWxTFyw
Family spiritual warfare that is necessary before the peace of heaven.
The people that John the Baptist preached to were very similar to the people of today.
"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."—St. Luke 16:18 "For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself."—1 Cor 11:29 "For no crime is there heavier punishment to be feared from God than for the unholy or irreligious use of the Eucharist."—Council of Trent, Chapter 6 on the Eucharist The Nine Ways of Being an Accessory to Another's Sin: By counsel By command By consent By provocation By praise or flattery By concealment By partaking By silence By defense of the ill done
This sermon is about how to get your kids to heaven in 15 minutes a day. The featured image is Holy Ghost parish in downtown Denver. Some families of this parish used the Baltimore Catechism in the 1980s, and it paid off.
A Catholic married couple with children wrote an anonymous letter to their parish priest, to every priest. They attend the ordinary Mass in English out West. They have been good friends of mine for almost a decade, and they asked me to publish it here. Open Letter to our spiritual Fathers Dear Fr. ___________, I am so very thankful that you have given your life to be our spiritual father. I am grateful for the gifts you make available to us in the sacraments. We know you work tirelessly to keep everything balanced and running smoothly. For that, we are thankful. But we have to be honest and share our [...]
This Holy Mass was offered for the soul of Christopherson Cortes. Ora pro nobis if you're already at the finish line.
What does it mean to have an undivided heart for the Lord? "The unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit."—1 Cor 7:34 I gave this talk to homeschooling families that have taken literally God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" as the Old Testament says. But the New Testament generally holds it to be a calling to be fruitful and multiply for the salvation of more souls for Jesus Christ's kingdom. Therefore, this talk is about why to encourage your children to be very open to the calling of celibacy for the salvation of even more souls [...]
This sermon is about the beauty of marriage by way of the pain of annulments, and it is sure to be controversial. It might sound excessively traditional, but it is based on a key line that I forgot to quote from Pope John Paul II. He said that for a declaration of nullity to be granted, run-of-the-mill difficulties in marriage were not sufficient, but rather, "real incapacity is to be considered [for an annulment analysis] only when an anomaly of a serious nature is present"—Pope John Paul II's exhortation on Canon 1095, written on 25 February 1987. One example of "an anomaly of a serious nature" would be the couple's [...]
