This is an opinion blog, so what you're going to read below is my opinion. Take it for whatever it's worth to you. Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows that I am an advocate for a return to traditional Catholicism, but readers should also know that when I say that I don't mean turning... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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...

I've been asked to write a short and concise battle plan for retaking the Catholic Church for traditional orthodoxy, and saving it from the crisis that is currently unfolding. The battle plan is simple and easy to follow. Victory is assured for those who follow it, both in their personal lives (short term) and reclaiming... Continue Reading →
Your Excellencies, this is meant to be read as a friendly challenge, with nothing but love and respect as the tone and subtext. Please don't interpret it any other way. Do you have a parish in your diocese that's floundering? By that I mean, is it financially in trouble, and have you seriously considered the... Continue Reading →
The Amazon Synod is scheduled to begin in just a couple weeks, and it's been the talk of much consternation among conservative and traditionally-minded Catholics for almost two years now. I completely empathize with the concerns of my conservative and traditionally-minded Catholic brethren. I think their concerns are valid and should be taken seriously. On... Continue Reading →
In a recent jet-presser at 30,000 feet, Pope Francis commented that he felt "honored" that some traditional-Catholic Americans were attacking him. Why does this not surprise me? It seems obvious to me that he doesn't care for those Catholic Americans who consider themselves "orthodox" or "traditional." On the flip side, I think it's fair and... Continue Reading →
