The world has radically changed in the wake of the Wuhan Virus (COVID-19) and with it the Catholic Church has changed too. The worldwide quarantine, of both the sick and the healthy, has spawned the birth of something new. Or maybe I should say the rebirth of something very old. The rise of Militant Catholicism...

Recently, Pope Francis said that COVID-19 (The Wuhan Virus or #WuhanVirus) is not a punishment from God, but rather a punishment from Mother Nature (see here). I wholeheartedly disagree with that assertion. Our God is the God of nature, and nature is not really our "mother." If it is, then she's a bitch, plain and... Continue Reading →
It's like watching a horror movie. A deadly plague reaches our shores. The president declares a national emergency. Groceries and household items, like toilet paper and bottled water, disappear off the supermarket shelves. The stock market plunges, over and over again, businesses shut down. People are told to prepare for the worst. The future is... Continue Reading →

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 →
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 →
Living in the Bible Belt, I run across a lot of misconceptions about what Catholicism is. Of course, I ran across these things in Southern California too, so the problem isn't just limited to the Bible Belt. Strangely, I've even seen Catholics display some pretty funny ideas of what makes one Catholic. I remember the... Continue Reading →
Faithful Catholics and American Patriots now find themselves on the same team, fighting against a cabal of Modernism, Marxism and Globalism that really and truly is hell-bent on world domination. Unlike the Soviet Union or the Nazi Third Reich, this cabal is not planning the military overthrow of Western Civilization, but rather a subversive and... Continue Reading →
