Scapular Enrollment: The Best Gift You Can Give Your Family
The scapular is found in the featured image above. It is a garment dedicated to Mary and worn around the neck by Catholics through the centuries. Those who wear it are promised two major things, known as the Sabbatine Privilege: No hell. "The Blessed Virgin of Mt. Carmel has promised to save those who wear the scapular from the fires of hell."—Scapular insert Reduced Purgatory. "I, the Mother of Grace, shall descend on the Saturday after their death and whomsoever I shall find in Purgatory, I shall free, so that I may lead them to the holy mountain of life everlasting."—Mary, the Mother of God. As we Catholics believe one [...]
Agenda 21: The Motivation for the Coronavirus Vaccine
https://youtu.be/X65eDg2t3zo In the above video, I attempt to answer what most Catholics are missing on the coronavirus-19 vaccine discussion, namely: Is the vaccine necessary? Is the vaccine dangerous? Towards the end of the video I explain that there must be a motivation for so many agents of Church and State to roll-out a vaccine with so little discernment and so few medical trails before foisting it upon unsuspecting citizens. Of course, the number one issue for anyone involved in the courts, law-enforcement or international affairs has become: Motive, motive, motive. So what is the motive to control society through a lockdown and a vaccine? In 2015, the United Nations rolled [...]
The New Albigensian Heresy
Convert to the Catholic faith, H.W. Crocker, somehow managed to fit 2,000 years of Catholicism into his 500 page book called Triumph. Having read it for the second time earlier this year, I noticed the behavior of one group of murderous medieval heretics appears to be the same as an American political party today. Let's first consider Crocker's description of the Albigensian heretics of the 13th century: "The roots of the heresy lay in the East. Its pedigree included, historically, the Arians and especially the Manicheans. More immediately, it was influenced by the iconoclastic Paulicians, exiled from Byzantium; the violent Bogomils of Bulgaria (from which we get the useful word [...]
Implicit Desire for Baptism vs. Rahner’s “Anonymous Christian”
https://youtu.be/TUJBuDxl9pI In the above video, I read the following two question out of the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X: 27 Q. Can one be saved outside the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church? A. No, no one can be saved outside the Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church, just as no one could be saved from the flood outside the Ark of Noah, which was a figure of the Church. 29 Q. But if a man through no fault of his own is outside the Church, can he be saved? A. If he is outside the Church through no fault of his, that is, if he is in good faith, and if [...]
Catholic Civil Attorney On Ballot Harvesting
A Catholic civil attorney with whom I went to high school wrote this: Dear Father Nix, In light of the current events and controversies surrounding the current presidential election, I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly share with you my experiences with mail ballot voting. In my roll as a civil attorney, I have represented several parties who challenged elections due to irregularities with voting by mail ballot. These experiences have allowed me to gain some knowledge about voting by mail ballot and the numerous problems that go along with such a scheme. It’s interesting to note that it is usually the Democrat Party that has pushed the voting [...]
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Margaret Sanger and Hillary Clinton in March 2009
On Thursday, the 26th of March 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Mexico. The above framed image (on the left) of Mary, the mother of Jesus, was miraculously imprinted by heaven upon the tilma of St. Juan Diego, a 16th century saint in Mexico. According to a Catholic News Agency (CNA) article Hillary Clinton asked the rector of the Basilica, Msgr. Monroy (in the above picture) "Who painted it?" He responded, "God." Hillary Clinton seems to have laughed. (See video at end of blog post.) On Friday, the 27th of March, 2009, the very next day, Hilary Clinton then [...]
A Catholic Layman’s Prediction for Election Week
Today, a layman informally texted me his predictions for election week. He certainly did not mean the following as prophetic, but I thought it read as so plausible and accurate that I asked him for permission to publish, and he agreed: - Votes counted by evening of the election show Trump wins in a landslide. - Day after Trump declares victory late night / early morning. - Mainstream media (MSM) issues pre-written press releases condemning Trump for declaring victory since “all votes aren’t counted” - MSM articles have overt statements that Trump is a dictator and must be stopped. - Rioting starts in DC, NYC, Minneapolis and LA day after [...]
Jesus Returns to the USCCB
This is a modern re-writing of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Grand Inquisitor" as found in his 1880 novel "The Brothers Karamazov." When Our Lord returned to 3211 4th Street in the northeast quadrant of the District, He was not placed in a dungeon. The USCCB secretary took him to one of the sterile but well-lit classrooms. In a professional manner, she told Him that He could sit anywhere. She added on the way out the door, "And thank you for your patience until the bishop arrives." She turned with a pursed smile and re-entered her office near the main-entrance of the USCCB. The classroom door closed softly but firmly behind her. Our [...]
Myth Busting: St. Francis of Assisi and Private Property
St. Francis of Assisi (one of my favorite saints) is again being twisted into a communist and a pacifist. To dispel this, you can read the gold-standard biography by St. Bonaventure called The Life of St. Francis of Assisi. In the 20th century, GK Chesterton wrote St. Francis of Assisi. He recounts this unusual interaction: "The good Bishop of Assisi expressed a sort of horror at the hard life which the Little Brothers lived at the Portiuncula, without comforts, without possessions, eating anything they could get and sleeping anyhow on the ground. St. Francis answered him with that curious and almost stunning shrewdness which the unworldly can sometimes wield like a club [...]
Why Traditional Congregations Allow Alpha Males to be Obedient To Beta Males (and vice versa)
I recently read this from Harvard Business: "Highly intelligent, confident, and successful, alpha males represent about 70% of all senior executives. As the label implies, they’re the people who aren’t happy unless they’re the top dogs—the ones calling the shots. Although there are plenty of successful female leaders with equally strong personalities, we’ve found top women rarely if ever match the complete alpha profile. Alphas reach the top ranks in large organizations because they are natural leaders—comfortable with responsibility in a way nonalphas can never be. Most people feel stress when they have to make important decisions; alphas get stressed when tough decisions don’t rest in their capable hands. For them, [...]
