Christian Nationalism = Christian Patriotism
It is now impossible to ignore the Christian Nationalist Movement in the United States. We’ve got United States Congressmen self-identifying as “Christian Nationalists.” Every news outlet in America has covered it (almost all negative), and the Democrat Left is practically going hysterical over it. It has to be discussed, defined and crystalized. That’s why I […]

The Declaration of Christian Nationalism
1. Christian Nationalists (or Christian Patriots) are Christians, before anything else, we profess to be followers of Jesus Christ and his Apostles. One cannot be a Christian Nationalist, unless one is first a Christian, but it is possible for non-Christians to be friendly and sympathetic toward the Christian Nationalist movement. Christianity is not limited to […]

A Catholic Perspective on Christian Nationalism
The term “Christian Nationalism” was coined by the political Left, in an attempt to frighten people into fear of politically-active Christians. It’s most used by Leftist media and news outlets, in a nearly hysterical way, so as to incite as much panic among their viewers and readers as possible. It’s often thrown in with the […]

A Catholic Approach to American Politics
Catholics are constantly being told to keep our religion out of politics. For that matter, Evangelicals are being told the same thing too. Upon hearing such admonitions, we should consider the source, and we should also consider that if we are truly Catholic, and I mean truly Catholic and not just giving lip-service, then it […]

Focus on State Politics
After my self-imposed obligatory seven-days of Union patriotism (July 4 – 11), I took down my Union flag (American flag), and put my state flag back on my porch. I love my state flag, even more than the American flag, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with me saying that. You see, I’m a Missourian, […]

Secularism: The God That Failed
In 1949, a book titled “The God That Failed” hit the market. It was comprised of six essays, each written respectively by Louis Fischer, AndrĂ© Gide, Arthur Koestler, Ignazio Silone, Stephen Spender, and Richard Wright. The premise of the book was a critique of communism, and how each author become disillusioned with it, ultimately rejecting […]

Repeal the Fourteenth Amendment
Perhaps the greatest threat to the United States of America is not some foreign power, or even ideological systems within the nation. Perhaps the greatest threat to the United States is something hidden within our own Constitution. Perhaps it is something that may have seemed like a good idea to a lot of people, at […]

Take Back June for the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The month of June has been co-opted by the secular usurpers as LGBTQI+ month. (I swear, this acronym gets more letters every year.) Popular Catholic author and YouTuber, Dr. Taylor Marshall, likes to call it the “LMNOP movement” of the alphabet people. I concur with his label of the “alphabet people,” as it seems just […]

Anatomy of a Schism
Having been an Anglican briefly, before becoming Catholic, I watch the breakup of the Anglican Communion unfold with sadness both before and after my reception into the Catholic Church. That breakup continues to this day, though arguably, the key moments in the process are now behind us, and the trajectory is set into its end […]

The Consecration of Russia
After 105 years, the consecration of Russia, to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, is finally scheduled to happen in the way she requested. When Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, spoke to the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, she requested a number of things. One of them was that the pope consecrate Russia to her Immaculate […]
