How to Deal with Corruption in the Catholic Church
As Catholics, we’ve been treated to a steady diet of Church corruption, modernist agendas and weak bishops for literally decades now. The problem appears to be getting better in some areas, mainly in small dioceses, but simultaneously getting worse, mainly in bigger (arch)dioceses, the college of cardinals and the Vatican. As frustrating as this is, […]

How to Revive Any Catholic Parish
The following is addressed to any Catholic priest who might be interested. I have always believed that priests already have at their disposal everything they need to bring about renewal and revival at any Catholic parish, anywhere in the world. The problem is that many priests have been so conditioned by the current state of […]

Divine Worship: Daily Office
If you’re looking for a Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours) that is compacted into one book, then I would highly recommend the Ordinariate version called Divine Worship: Daily Office. This Ordinariate-version is approved for all lay Catholics, it’s easier to use than the standard Roman Divine Office, and it focuses on Scripture readings like […]

Start an English Ordinariate Parish
What the heck is an English Ordinariate Parish? The short answer is simply this. When a bunch of Anglicans decided to come back into the Catholic Church, from 1980 through 2012, they requested that they could bring elements of their Anglican (English) Patrimony with them. A good part of these elements, found in the Book […]

Pope Francis, The Latin Mass and the Ordinariates
Since the promulgation of Pope Francis’ decree Traditionis Custodes (Guardians of the Tradition) there has been wild speculation among conservative and traditional circles within the Catholic Church. The document itself is ambiguous in some areas, which has caused some to question its legitimacy. Whether legal or not, I am on record as calling the document […]

Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail
This blog is going to be a little different from the usual. Normally, I address a Catholic audience, but this time I’m going to address my Evangelical brethren. I’m going to speak as a former Evangelical, as one who’s been there, and understands the issues. I make no pretenses here. I hide nothing. Deep down, […]

The King James Version (KJV) Only?
The King James Only movement is growing among Evangelicals as of late. This is probably the biggest growth I’ve ever seen of the movement in my lifetime. The King James Only movement is a Protestant quirk, popular among some Evangelical Fundamentalists, wherein they assert that the King James Version is the ONLY authoritative English translation […]

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
Do not confuse the Catholic Church with the corrupt hierarchy. These are two totally different things. The Catholic Church has been infiltrated by corrupt clergy in the past. And each time, these corrupt clergy were defeated not by schism, (the Protestant solution), nor by miracles, (the unlikely solution), but rather by faithful Catholic clergy and […]

Interview with Tony of Reverent Catholic Mass
In the wake of Traditionis Custodes, the recent papal decree that severely curtails the availability of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), many Catholics have been scrambling to find reverent Catholic liturgy. Some bishops have already banned the TLM in their dioceses, others have cut back on its availability. On the flip side, however, a few […]

I Love the Catholic Church, and That is Why I Criticize its Leaders
“In accord with the knowledge, competence, and preeminence which they possess, [lay people] have the right and even at times a duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church, and they have a right to make their opinion known to the other Christian faithful, […]
