Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation on the Amazon Synod has been released. Titled Querida Amazonia, the document proved to not be the bombshell Faithful Catholics were so worried about. While not on the caliber of anything we would expect from Pope St. John Paul II, or Pope Benedict XVI, and it does have some problems in... Continue Reading →
This is a friendly challenge, and a recommendation, to all individual American bishops who care about the spiritual safety of their flocks. Some of you may be aware that the US Bishops Voters Guide, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, is a complete flop among the laity. There are multiple reasons for this. First, it's too...

Who are those nice folks coming to your door witnessing for Jehovah? Well, I could go into a long story about their origin, peculiar practices, problematic "prophecies," and methods of psychological coercion, but that would just make for a long post. Instead, I'll cut to the chase. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, better known... Continue Reading →
This morning I read an article (see here) that made me laugh, because it relayed a story about a cardinal in the Catholic Church who doesn't seem to understand some very basic terms. He suggested that Catholics who protest some actions of the pope ought to become Protestants, because that's what they essentially are. I... Continue Reading →

This is nothing new. Situations like this have existed in the past, and the result is always the same -- schism. Honestly, I don't know... Continue Reading →
As we approach the release of Pope Francis’ Amazon Synod Exhortation (late January or early February), it’s very important to keep your eye on the ball. The objective of the looney Left is to portray traditional Catholics as hysterical retrogrades who cannot handle any change. We MUST NOT let this narrative play out. As I... Continue Reading →
The US Catholic Bishops have done little to nothing to help Catholics discern a clear political path in the United States. Their so-called "voters guide" (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship) has been a weak document that does more to confuse Catholics than help guide them. For this reason I'm taking it upon myself, as a... Continue Reading →
The Catholic Church in Germany has been the leading proponent of heterodox (heretical) teaching and practice for decades now. While we can find many examples of heterodoxy, innovation, and outright lunacy in other places throughout the Church, the German bishops have taken a leading role and are now in the process of positioning themselves as...
