Western Civilization will Fall: Abandon Ship!
It’s no secret. I’ve been harping on this topic for years, and so have many others. I know it’s unpleasant to talk about, and people would rather not hear it, but it needs to be said. Western Civilization (the remnants of Christendom) is collapsing, and it will soon completely implode. What was once Christendom was […]

The Catholic Alternative in Traditional English
For some time now, I’ve encountered many Catholics who have expressed their frustration to me about the situation in their local parishes and dioceses. Though the location and circumstances are radically different, the complaint is almost universally the same. Some come from the Northeast, some from the West Coast, some from the Rockies and some […]

Catholic Integralism
Even though Integralism has fallen out of favor among many within the Catholic Church, including much of the clergy, nobody can reasonably deny that the Church doesn’t still officially teach it. In fact, there are a lot of things the Church officially teaches, and many Catholics (clergy included) don’t like, often ignore, and try to […]

Support Your Public Library And Evangelize!
Rather than throwing old books out, or trying to sell them, I often donate them to my local public library. This is because I believe in giving back to the community, and since I have quite a little library myself, I’ve got plenty to give away. Libraries usually prefer hardcover books for donation. This is […]

How To Save Catholic Schools
The video above, from Church Militant, outlines the challenges facing Catholic schools today. It should be noted that Catholics schools have been in consistent decline for fifty years! The COVID-19 pandemic has only served to highlight and accelerate the problem. The chief causes of the decline in Catholic schools are listed as follows… Cost Basic […]

A Christian Response To The “Cancel Culture”
The above painting serves as a reminder to the Christian reader. As bad as things are, we’ve seen worse. There was once upon a time, near the founding of our great religion, that the world’s greatest superpower turned against us, persecuted us, captured us, and executed us for entertainment. The early Christians were mauled by […]

Turn To The States
There is a saying that “all politics is local,” and it’s most commonly used in the United States. The saying is often ascribed to former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill (Democrat, Massachusetts). Whether or not he actually coined the phrase doesn’t matter. He was right, but not in the way he thought. O’Neill was […]

Bring Back The Confessional State
America’s Founding Fathers declared their independence from the Protestant King of England, and fought a bloody eight-year war to make it happen. It was a war of secession and insurrection. Normally, I would have a problem with the treasonous acts of the Founding Fathers, but in their particular case (rare as it was), I think […]

The Catholic Renewal
The Catholic Church, especially in North America and Europe, is in a demographic nosedive. The writing is on the wall, and it cannot be denied anymore, at least not by any reasonably informed person. Throughout the United States, for example, parishes are closing. Congregations are being merged, and dioceses are downsizing. Our bishops today have […]

No Man-Made Nation Can Last Forever
The above image will undoubtedly be disturbing to most Americans. Some will be inclined to laugh it off. Some will take it more seriously. If we look at maps of Latin-America (Central and South America) this is exactly what they look like. In short, Latin-America looks a lot like Europe with large land masses broken […]
