I just caught a Catholic priest denouncing a man he does not know as a racist: Anyone baptized a Catholic is a Catholic: you can’t become uncatholic. That does not mean every Catholic acts in accord with that baptism. Neither you nor Biden are examples of acting in accord with baptism. You are racist; …

When they tell you who they are, believe them
Ann Barnhard has pointed out for some time that one of the big tells from the satanic cabal that currently controls many of the institutions in this world is that they are literally forced in some form or fashion to admit that they’re working for the Enemy, and not for God. Think Jorge Bergoglio holding …

And on more pleasant going-ons
Yesterday I found out that the local TLM Catholic church had planned a Rosary procession around the city park. I’ve been told for years that the Rosary is one of the most powerful weapons that the Catholic Church has. So…. We did all three sets of mysteries. Yes, I know JPII put the Luminous Mysteries …

Gee, I wonder why the Catholic Church is having a hard time keeping people?
I mean, with leaders like this, I would think virtuous Christians would be just breaking down the doors, right? Cardinal Blase Cupich, the progressive Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, offered the invocation for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Monday without ever mentioning Jesus Christ. The DNC with it’s mobile abortion vans. The DNC with it’s proud …

Births And Rebirths
Happy Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. On this day two millennia ago, the Apostles were granted the gift of the Holy Spirit, which emboldened and equipped them for the mission with which Christ had charged them: Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. …

Motherhood
As virtually everyone in the Western Hemisphere knows by now, yesterday was Mothers’ Day, a holiday celebrated by mothers, grandmothers, greeting-card vendors, and Hallmark stockholders throughout the land. Why Mom gets only a single day, while Negroes and sexual deviants get a month each and governments get all of us year after year, I …

Oh, Come On!
It’s all getting to be a bit much: A memo by the F.B.I. warning of possible threats posed by “radical-traditionalist” Catholics violated professional standards but showed “no evidence of malicious intent,” according to an internal Justice Department inquiry made public on Thursday. The assessment by the Justice Department’s watchdog found that agents …

The Essence Of Divine Mercy
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday in the Catholic calendar. It’s also known as Doubting Thomas’s Sunday, for today at Mass we read the portion of the Gospel of John that recounts the Apostle Thomas’s transition from disbelief to belief. Notably, the risen Christ invited Thomas to satisfy himself with physical evidence: the wounds in …

The Meek And The Grand
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, Gentle Reader! A summary of the great Irish saint’s life and work: St. Patrick (387-493) was born in Kilpatrick, Scotland, to Roman-British parents. He was kidnapped by Irish raiders at the age of sixteen and sold as a slave to a Druid high priest. He worked as a shepherd …

The Easiest Sin
Happy Ides of March, Gentle Reader! If you enjoyed your Pi Day – we did – then perhaps you’ll also enjoy this commemoration of the day, in 44 B.C., when a group of civic-minded patricians decided to take an aspiring dictator “off the ballot” in a rather final and unappealable way. It’s a recipe …

Simple Foolishness Or A Communist Tactical Move?
It has frequently embarrassed me that Jorge Bergoglio, elevated to the Throne of Saint Peter some years back, chose my name for his papal appellation. The man is so demonstrably unfit for his position that the entire College of Cardinals should do severe penance for electing him. And as the successor to Pope Benedict …

Clerical Missteps
The news in religion today focuses on the “Synod on Synodality” currently being held in the Vatican. Many Catholics are seriously concerned about what’s being discussed by the assembled clergy. Longstanding teachings of the Church appear threatened. Of course we won’t know what will come of it all until it’s over and its deliberations …

Events To Commemorate
If you’re not a devotee of unusual holidays, you might not know that today is National M&M Day. The M&M, one of America’s iconic candies, is exceptionally versatile. Not only can you eat them “raw” or bake them into cookies and brownies, you can also play Go with them. The rules differ only slightly …

Corpus Christi Sunday 2023
Many American dioceses celebrate this feast, that of the Body and Blood of Christ, on the Sunday that follows Trinity Sunday, rather than on Thursday as is traditional. So it’s worth a few more words about this celebration, and the specific doctrine that underlies it. Corpus Christi concerns one of the Church’s most …

When We Need A Miracle…
…God, who always knows what we need, will provide one: The small rural Missouri town of Gower has become an unexpected pilgrimage destination after a nun’s exhumed body showed no visible signs of decomposition — four years after her burial. Hundreds of people have been flocking to the town 40 miles north …

Human Institutions
They’re imperfect – all of them. Every now and then, a reminder is useful. The Acts of the Apostles contains a pair of segments that make many things plain – indeed, plainer in some ways than the Church would like us to know. The first of them is in Chapter 2: And …

A Brief Announcement
Someone who gave the name of “Mike Bizzaro,” along with a strange-looking email address, just wrote to inform me that “[my] soul has been removed from Christianity.” He also provided a link to one of the ugliest web pages I’ve had the dubious pleasure of visiting. It is extremely important that anyone who agrees …

Wrong Turnings
Please don’t misinterpret what follows. I love my Church, despite my handful of disagreements with it. But now and then some of its notables go off the rails so dramatically that I’m compelled to take exception to it. The United States has a shortage of Catholic priests. Parishes from coast to coast find …

Personnel Policies
I’ve known a lot of people who were and are smarter than average. That comes from working in occupations that require that characteristic. Bluntly, if your duties will necessarily require careful thinking, distinguishing among things and ideas according to their inherent properties, you must be able to do so. Why else would your employer …

An Attitudinal Imperative
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. …
