Over the past few months I have had a great blessing in my life. A man with whom I was not well acquainted from my parish fell ill. When I heard he was in the …

I came across another video while walking on the treadmill today. Sensing a trend? I know, I should be praying my rosary; but at my pace I have no breath. Mental prayer, …

I believe that, some years ago, Rome gave the Byzantine Catholics permission to omit the filioque in their recitation of the Creed, but with the understanding that they must accept the Dogma. I’ve known quite a few Melkiteand Maronite priests, from the Lawrence, Massachusetts area, and can say that all of them were enthusiastic supporters of Bergoglio. I never got the impression that either of those traditions was a good alternative. And, they were all as “loose as ashes” in their celebrations of Divine Liturgy, though the Byzantine, even celebrated poorly, outdoes the best Novus ordo.
I’m in El Paso today on a work project. Nice place. I’ve only ever driven through on I-10 before so staying downtown last night and walking around San Jacinto Plaza was a treat …

Bp Strickland is a forerunner of a new type of Catholic...which is really the old type. One who lives in Truth, speaks Truth, and is willing to suffer for Truth. His persecution will only open the door for countless others to rise up. Thank you, good Bishop!
Not long ago I posted that there had been a somewhat unspecified threat against the local Carmel here in my neck of the woods. I also mentioned that the diocese had issued a …
I just got home after a week away for a family wedding. Look who was in my mailbox… New novena starts on Wednesday. Send your intentions and I will add them.
The Remnant is reporting this. And who would be these pay electors? Whoopi Goldberg? Bono? I’d expect nothing less from the fabulously tacky, stuck-in-the-70’s antipope. St. …
For your edification/meditation: Pray for the dead! Stay confessed and do penance in this life! And if this image of a TLM requiem Mass doesn’t move you to those sentiments, there may not …
I am currently traveling. My family and I arrived in the Fatherland yesterday (New Jersey) for the wedding of one of my nieces. It was All Saints Day. The rest of the gang made it to the early …
