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 →
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 →
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 →
If you're a Catholic, and you speak English as your primary language, then you have a special heritage you may not even be aware of. The English Patrimony, lost in the Protestant world for centuries, has now been restored to the Catholic Church. I'm talking about the English spiritual heritage that was originally Catholic, from...

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.

The United States is a crypto-Catholic Republic. That's the premise of Dr. Timothy Gordon's book "Catholic Republic," and I think he may be right. I went into detail about this in my previous blog, entitled "How to Save America." The premise goes like this. The original 13 colonies were heavily anti-Catholic Protestant, but to gain...

As a Traditional Catholic of the Anglican Patrimony, I take the traditional Catholic teaching on economics seriously, starting with Rerum Novarum from Pope Leo XIII in 1891, and culminating (I believe) in Pope St. John Paul II's centennial anniversary encyclical on Rerum Novarum with Centesimus Annus in 1991, followed with his epic teaching on life...

For those of you who still might think Freemasonry is just some harmless boys club with funny hats, think again. No organization has been condemned by the Catholic Church more than the Masonic Lodge. The Catholic Church has imposed the penalty of excommunication on all Catholics who become Freemasons (or members of the Masonic Lodge).... Continue Reading →
The Divine Worship Mass, otherwise known as the DWM, is a traditional Catholic liturgy of the Eucharist that is celebrated in Sacred English (thee, thou, thy, thine, etc.) as typically seen in traditional English translations of the Bible and prayer books. It follows the basic pattern of the standard Ordinary Form Mass (Novus Ordo or... Continue Reading →
