US Bishops Seem to Say It’s OK to be Too Busy for God
There is a point in everyone’s life when you begin to see the tug-of-war between God and the World. The Gospels highlight, underline, and encircled this very tug-of-war during the encounter our Lord had with Satan in His forty days: The devil put it out there clearly: “all these kingdoms are mine.” Related to this…
St. Maximilian Kolbe: “No one in the world can change Truth!”
On the feast of St. Kolbe, it’s worth recalling this observation of his: “No one in the world can change Truth!” What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is an inner conflict. …there are two irreconcilable enemies in the…
Yes, it’s Bad, but Stop Belly Aching and Start Acting like a Soldier of Christ
It was a changing point in my life: “Lord, I feel really bad for you because I can leave this place, but You can’t!” I’ve never really looked at things the same ever since then. I had walked into a new parish to me in Michigan, one that was close to where I lived, and was…
ACTION ALERT! AmChurch Meat Grinder returns to Church of Our Saviour in New York
Over the decades, I have encountered the lame, stupid, and frankly tendentious “excuses” given by the apparatchiks of destruction, the front men for the insatiable beast of hell otherwise known as AmChurch (see, e.g. this post). The most inane tripe is passed off on the authority of a position to do the most treacherous things. For instance,…
The Marxist March Against Marriage and the Response Our Lady Asked For
A couple years ago, I posted one of the best images about marriage today and it came from the old St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism. Featuring both the worldly judge and the Eternal Judge rendering opinions of what was before them. The image shows a couple obtaining a no fault divorce, and a judge granting it to them. To…
Breaking the Rainbow Covenant (Be Fruitful and Multiply, and Fill the Earth)
In the wake of Friday’s Supreme Court decision, purportedly accepting same sex partners to so-called marriage, an onslaught of rainbows have been posted everywhere you look online. Even the White House had rainbow colors projected onto it to make the building look like a rainbow. You’d think we had just survived the greatest flood the world has…
Demystifying Why There was Supernatural at Medjugorje, but not the Messages
News is circulating today about a decision having been made in the Congregation for Doctrine and Faith that the messages of Medjugorje were in fact not supernatural. Nobody should be surprised. Over the years over we’ve been burdened by smug believers of the Medjugorje phenomenon who look down their nose and lecture on the superior knowledge to be…
Do Something to Honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus Today on the Feast
Today, the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi, is the feast of the Sacred Heart. Sometimes, the feast is held on this following Sunday. The short story of the feast is explained in my trusty old catechism: A single word of Christ would have fully sufficed to redeem us, but it was not enough to…
Pentecost and the Church of Tommorrow
One thing I notice that’s different today from when I was a kid is that there doesn’t seem to be anymore fiction geared towards tomorrow that isn’t dystopian. Sure, I was still a tyke when the movie Logan’s Run came out about a world in the future where people that hit thirty were euthanized, yet others ran…
Father Hardon: Stop Communion in the Hand Now!
I often forget that the things that were common knowledge in the 90s are forgotten or ignored today. It becomes apparent when discussing communion in the hand, as I did the other day in the neopaganism article, or as I have in other contexts over the past few years, that people generally believe now that…
