“When You Say It, Don’t Hide”—Bl. Jacinta Marto
Usually when I bring the beginnings of repentance for my sins to prayer, I sense a deeper call to repentance. (In other words, when I begin to repent in prayer, I find I'm not repenting nearly enough.) Lately, I have been trying to bring to prayer the shame I have that I come to such radically different conclusions than almost all other priests online on the issues of 2021. Going to prayer, I expect to feel more shame for these differences of opinion I have with most of the hierarchy. But amazingly (and I realize what we sense in prayer is by no means infallible and probably shouldn't even go [...]
When Conspiracy Theory Becomes Conspiracy Fact
Conservatives need to prepare for suspended or monitored communications. For anyone tempted to call this blog post a "conspiracy theory," remember that here's how numerous conversations went down in 2020 between conservatives and liberals where the below set {a, b, c, d...} could easily be {extended lockdowns, a dishonest election, unending-orders for masks in Churches, arrests in private-residences for lack of social-distancing, suspended civil-liberties} and set {p, q, r, s...} could easily be {medically-dangerous, bigoted, false-information spreading, racist}. So here's how it goes if you want to plug those in: Conservative: "I'm afraid they're going to {a, b, c, d...} to us." Liberal: "That's just a conspiracy theory for you to [...]
How American Catholics Trashed Their Own Civil-Liberties
I'm sure some mildly-conservative Catholics out who follow me on social media believe I still publicly support Trump out of some case of "replacement-holiness" for Church leadership that has let me down. That is not true. Nor do I support Trump out of some notion that he represents our American past or even lost manliness. I support Trump because he is the last symbol of non-communism in this country. And according to Our Lady of Fatima and all of the valid Popes of the past 100 years, communism is the main political-system that Catholics must resist. Remember Nazi stands for "National Socialist Party" and obviously killed millions of people. Following [...]
Heaven 2: Born into the Better Life
Many of you saw the viral video where a man chased a woman around a store here in the US for not having a mask on. The fact he was not only not afraid of catching a virus from a maskless woman but pursued her anyway to conform to his totalitarian mindlessness became proof to millions of Americans not just how lost humanity in 2020 had become, but perhaps how much insanity we must brace for in 2021. This may depress a lot of people to read this first paragraph, but I think if the early Christians were alive today they would simply laugh at how old and ridiculous [...]
Heaven 1: The Beauty of Your Majesty
There is a modern idea that God will forgive everything on one's death bed and let everyone into heaven, but the collect in the Traditional Latin Mass for Epiphany (prayed all week, several times a week in both the Divine Office and every Mass until Sunday) teaches us something very important about getting to heaven. The collect for Epiphany week in Latin is: Deus, qui hodiérna die Unigénitum tuum géntibus stella duce revelásti: concéde propítius; ut qui iam te ex fide cognóvimus, usque ad contemplándam spéciem tuæ celsitúdinis perducámur. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula [...]
Becket and Trump
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 [...]
Bill Gates Begins His Second Genocide
If the title of this blog post seems like an exaggeration, I will prove it through secular hyperlinks below, all of which you can follow for confirmation. First Genocide: Bill Gates has been a top donor to Planned Parenthood for years. The father of Bill Gates, Bill H. Gates Sr., was on the board of Planned Parenthood. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation brags on their own website when they give $1.7M to Planned Parenthood. In fact, Gates and Gates' Foundation Warren Buffet are listed among the biggest donors to the point that Planned Parenthood's Biggest Donors gave $374M in Four Years. Of course, George Soros is also listed in [...]
The Sacrifice in the Octave of Christmas
The introduction to the Missal of Pope Paul VI defines the Mass as a “sacred synaxis [meal] or assembly of the people of God met together under the presidency of the priest to celebrate the memorial of the Lord.” Notice that in this definition, the term "sacrifice" is missing. In fact, many TLM-writers before me have noticed that the Protestants who helped write the Mass of Pope Paul VI purposefully removed many references to "sacrifice" in the Propers, Prefaces and even the new "Eucharistic Prayers." Their new calendar is also missing references to blood and sacrifice. In the old calendar, the feast of the Circumcision of Jesus was replaced [...]
Is Catholicism Really Threatened by Communism in the USA?
I received the below description from a Catholic family moving out of Portland, Oregon to go to another part of the country. Their move is due to what they call "communism." Before publication, I forwarded it to another friend (who also recently moved away from Portland) asking her if the below is an exaggeration. She said no. I post it with the family's permission; I changed their names for safety. === We turn off phones before leaving the house if attending a larger gathering. Not airplane mode… really off. Andy says they track clusters. They can also tell if you are social distancing with your phone. Airplane mode still pings. [...]
New Evidence Against the Vaccine
In real life, I have known more people catch coronavirus the past three weeks than anytime since March 2020. One of these includes a traditional priest who was hospitalized due to the virus. Another was a young father of several children who was almost intubated due to COVID-19. So I admit this new "surge" is real. Yet I am still more wary of the vaccine than the virus. Here is three new pieces of information this week alone: 1) Fertility Problems For Men. In this video I already reported on the UK government's warnings against women's fertility in taking the COVID-19 jab. Now, the University of Miami reports a warning against [...]
