RomeCast 13: Reclaiming St. Francis of Assisi

By |2019-07-03T01:15:53+00:00July 3rd, 2019|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

In tonight's podcast, we discuss the manliness of St. Francis of Assisi as the antithesis to the Jewish transvestite temple priests as recounted by the 1st century historian, Flavius Josephus. We also discuss Antifa and finally the words of St. Francis of Assisi where he prophesies a specific time in the future of the Catholic Church where "those who persevere in their fervor and adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and persecutions as rebels and schismatics."

The Winners of Human History

By |2018-08-04T02:57:36+00:00June 14th, 2018|Events|

"The history of the world from the beginning is but the history of the struggle between the powers of the world, and of hell, against the souls which are humbly devoted to the divine action. In this struggle all the advantage seems to be on the side of pride, yet the victory always remains with humility. The image of the world is always presented to our eyes as a statue of gold, brass, iron, and clay. This mystery of iniquity, shown in a dream to Nabuchodonosor, is nothing but a confused medley of all the actions, interior and exterior, of the children of darkness. This is also typified by the [...]

Heresy Podcast: 4th century Arians vs. St. Athanasius

By |2019-04-04T20:37:17+00:00April 29th, 2018|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

This podcast considers the heresy of Arius and how St. Athanasius (featured image on blog, feast day 2 May) promoted the faith that is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. That Christ is homoousian (of one substance or one in being) with the Father is the true and orthodox view.  Heterodox or heretical views include homoiousian (that the Son is of a similar substance to the Father but not the same) and homoian (that the Son is similar to the Father, in all things, without speaking of substance) and heteroousian (that the Son is of a different substance from the Father, that is, created, as Arius wrongly taught.)  But again, the orthodox teaching [...]

St. Mary of Egypt (Written Text)

By |2024-03-17T20:57:36+00:00January 23rd, 2018|Theology|

Here, I’m sharing what I believe to be the greatest ancient account of God’s forgiveness and transformative mercy. It is about a female sex-addict become a canonized saint, St. Mary of Egypt, and it is my favorite short biography of any saint outside the Bible. The following events are promised to be true by its author, St. Zosima. His account takes place in the 4th century, in the deserts of both Egypt and Jordan... The Life of Our Holy Mother, St Mary of Egypt By St Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, 4th century "It is good to hide the secret of a king, but it is glorious to reveal and preach the [...]

Doctrine: Why We Can’t Crack

By |2018-04-18T01:37:31+00:00January 12th, 2018|Theology|

A young priest with whom I was once a seminarian is now on Facebook like me. About a year ago, he posted the account of how he asked an old priest if young priests would save the Church. The old priest said “No, Jesus will save His Church,” or something like that. Of course, this post had a ton of “likes.” For one, it seemed so humble for a young priest to admit that we young priests would not “save” the Church. Secondly, it tapped our modern Catholic desire to prove to Protestants that we only look to for Jesus for salvation. Both are true, and I have no problem [...]
