Padre Pio and Vatican II
Padre Pio lived from 1887 to 1968. This modern saint appears to many serious Catholics as if he were the last non-martyr saint. Why? Because he seems to be the last with apostolic miracles, apostolic faith and only the ancient sacraments at his belt—not to mention heaven's own approbation with extremely rare gifts like the stigmata, bilocation, healing and even raising the dead. Padre Pio is in a different galaxy of holiness than say, Carlo Acutis. (I'm sure that boy was a nice kid, but if all it takes to get "canonized" is to run a Catholic website, then even losers like me are going to be shoe-ins for the [...]

More Christian Tools to Help with the Narcissist
p/c Jeffrey Bruno at Helpers' Prayer Vigil at Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. As most of you know by now, the narcissist is not so much epitomized in the person seeking vain-glory, as the person who manipulates others so as to obtain an unearned vain-glory. In the heart of the narcissist, there is usually an arrogance which often appears as meekness. However, this is to cover a deep-seated insecurity. The exorcist Fr. Ripperger has demonstrated this is also the false victim-mentality frequently found in both demons and Marxists. My advice on Christian Boundaries for Narcissists has normally been to Grey-Rock them. To "Grey Rock" a person is basically to ignore them. [...]

VLX 161: Mt 27:32-34. The Carrying of the Cross.
-STV: https://spiritustv.com/@padreperegrino -Donate: https://www.padreperegrino.org/donate/ -Telegram: https://t.me/padreperegrino Gospel: As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry His cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when He tasted it, He would not drink it.

RIP Msgr. Philip J. Reilly
RIP Msgr. Philip Reilly, grandfather of the pro-life movement of NYC. pic.twitter.com/GwaG9YYlAV — Fr. Dave Nix (@FrDaveNix) December 1, 2024 The above video is four minutes, but I promise you it is worth watching. Credit to "Therefore Choose Life." Rest in Peace, Msgr. Philip J. Reilly. This unsung hero of the pro-life movement has gone to his eternal reward. Founder of “Helper of God’s Precious Infants,” Msgr. Reilly saved tens of thousands of babies in his compassionate method of sidewalk counseling for decades in Brooklyn. His evangelization spread throughout the world. In NYC, he taught the Sisters of Life and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (and me) all of [...]

“The Spirit of Truth Will Teach You All Truth.”—Jn 16:12
I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will teach you all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but what things soever He shall hear, He shall speak. And the things that are to come, He shall shew you.—St. John 16:12-13. When I had a conversion in the late 1990s, I entered very deeply into Catholic apologetics in how to explain the Bible to Protestants. I was traveling around the world back then, too. One example is I had an American-Calvinist friend I met at the University of Paris. We debated [...]
