Things Come to Life In Death
p/c: Peter Sweden I have always found my spirituality in the Jesuit and Franciscan traditions, maybe also in the Carmelite traditions, too. Personally, I have always found Benedictine spirituality a bit boring when compared to, say, the stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi or the transports of St. Teresa of Avila or St. Peter Claver nursing to life mostly-dead African slaves sliding off boats onto the docks of Cartegena so he can evangelize and eventually baptize them. But as I look at a modern world that spends more time looking at a screen than the sky, listening to YouTube more than family members, laughing at Netflix characters more than with [...]
Continued Mass Psychosis Formation
One can have truth without love, but one can not have love without truth. Also, even though not all mental illness is directly due to sin, all sin eventually leads to mental illness. Such mental illness now seems to include a large part of a North America's population actually desiring nuclear war. This was something absent even in the Cold War of the 20th century. The below graph reveals that if most people live in mortal sin, then most people will have insane desires: NB I'm not saying that taking the C19 vaccine was necessarily a mortal sin. But I am saying that living in spiritual blindness for years has now [...]
Teaching Playlists on YouTube
My YouTube channel is here. On that channel, I have five "playlists." A "playlist" is a group of videos all linked by a common theme. Each playlist could be seen as a University "course" with each video being a "class." My playlists mostly follow a teaching pattern and they are arranged in a particular order, usually doctrinal in a catechism series or chapter-based in a Gospel series of similar videos. I'd encourage you follow one of these playlists, especially if you have never heard of my podcasts or if you get tired of my Church-reform based blogging here. My videos are not only free to all users, but they are also [...]
Have America and Russia Switched Roles Since the 1980s?
Putin is dangerous to the Ukrainians, but do you know who is more dangerous? Michael Matt of RemnantTV points out that the globalist communists from the West who are stoking this war are much more dangerous to Ukrainians than anyone in Russia. The New Western Communists who control CNN demand that you fight for the Ukrainians. But these globalists care about the Ukrainians as much as they cared about George Floyd or grandma catching COVID: Not. at. all. It's a ruse for thermonuclear war to reduce the global population—their constant eugenic-based goal in everything they do. As I wrote before, I do not consider Putin to be a good man. [...]
What We Must Pray for in this World’s Mess
The above is Our Lady of Grace of the Gate of Dawn of Lithuania. It's the Polish-Lithuanian icon recently placed in my hermitage. Two years ago, leftist lies from BLM and other organizations turned into a race-baiting that probably killed more people than actual racism, at least in the past 20 years of this country's history. Leftist lies also led to an unjustified government lockdown that certainly killed more people than coronavirus. Therefore, I have good reason to believe that leftist lies on the situation in Ukraine will probably kill more people than the Russians. Putin is no saint, but I believe Biden, the EU, NATO and the oligarchic globalists against Putin are [...]
Galvanized Love
I am on a group Signal thread with a couple getting married and they asked me on that thread about how to explain the sacrament of marriage to a group of believers and non-believers: The audience will be people attending the wedding ceremony. Many of them aren’t Catholic or even Christian. The goal is to explain what they are seeing today and why it is important. Part of the explanation is going to be about Christian Marriage as a permanent union of man and woman. The union was made sacred when Christ raised it to the dignity of a Sacrament. The Sacrament of Matrimony is the essential element of the [...]
The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats
The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A [...]
Replacement Morality
Saturday Night Live recently had a skit go viral. In the skit, several middle-aged progressive NYC couples are all at a dinner in a restaurant and they begin to gently admit they were wrong about everything-covid. It’s actually funnier than most of the stuff from the past few years because it’s based on the truth. Truth is apparently allowed on SNL again. At first I found this skit funny, but then it hit me: It’s not funny at all. Leftists are going to want conservatives to laugh with them about how wrong they were on everything covid and we on the right are supposed to forget about it because we’re [...]
Sr. Lucy of Fatima and Russia Part 2
The following used to be on the archives of The Fatima Center and it was published when Sr. Lucy of Fatima was still alive. I saved it to my Evernote years ago. I do not know why it was removed, nor do I know if all of the information can be verified. But even if Sr. Lucy had no "replacement" and if she actually lived until 2005 (both highly contested premises by many traditional Catholics) then I believe the following looks solid enough to be back on the internet again and it helps explains if Russia was ever consecrated by a Pope: Chronology of Four Cover-up Campaigns: Silencing of Sister Lucia [...]
Sr. Lucy of Fatima and Russia Part 1
Here are some letters from Sr. Lucy, the visionary of Our Lady of Fatima:
