There are two polarities in the Catholic Church today, and while these two polarities have existed together under the popes for a generation, that tension will not last much longer. 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...

Many Christians mistakenly believe Arianism was defeated centuries ago, but in truth, it never left us. It just morphed, changing forms, and remains with us today in many different manifestations....

Strangely, I've even seen Catholics display some pretty funny ideas of what makes one Catholic. I remember the... Continue Reading →
Hopefully, this will be my last word on the scandals that erupted in the Catholic Church in 2018-2019. People frequently ask me what we, the laity, can do about it. I always tell them the same thing. The laity have no ecclesiastical power over the hierarchy. So there really isn't much we can do at... Continue Reading →
It's a little known fact, and seldom reported, that the Ordinariates of English Patrimony (UK, North America, Oceania) are for Catholics with a Methodist background, as well as Anglican and Episcopalian backgrounds. This is one reason why these ordinariates are often referred to by the term "English Patrimony" rather than just "Anglican Patrimony" which is... Continue Reading →
Dear Mr. President, In the wake of the ridiculous and absurd articles of impeachment filed against you yesterday in the US House of Representatives, I want to make my thoughts known. I do believe you will actually read this, as I think your advisers will make sure it reaches your desk somehow. However, I want... Continue Reading →
