It appears that what we have going on here is an ecclesiastical game of "chicken." Bonn and Rome are on a head-on collision course, and both are waiting to see who turns first. The objective of the German Bishops Conference in Bonn is to set the agenda for radical changes in the German Church BEFORE... Continue Reading →
As a trained catechist, and Catholic apologist, I'm frequently asked by Catholic parents how to keep their kids Catholic. Let me begin by saying you have to do it yourself! You can't trust Catholic schools or parish catechism programs to do it for you. We have 50 years of failed history as an example. If... Continue Reading →
In a recent plane interview here, Pope Francis may have inadvertently shown the cards of the Catholic Left. He spoke of a "schism" brewing among conservative Catholics in the United States, and then (almost in a provocative way) he said he's not afraid of it. Now that's not to say Pope Francis actually wants a... Continue Reading →

It is impossible for any Catholic to remain in good standing while subscribing to these political systems that are part of a greater materialistic ideology called Marxism. This is a truth that needs... Continue Reading →
In 1969, Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, who would later become Pope Benedict XVI (2005-2013), gave an interview on a German radio broadcast. At the time, what he said seemed absurd. Today, it is known as "The Ratzinger Prophecy." “The future of the Church can and will issue from those whose roots are deep and who live... Continue Reading →
The above image is a screenshot of the Drudge Report on the morning of 21 May 2018, which is the staple source of breaking news in the United States and around the world.

I know the title of this post is depressing, but it's a reflection of reality. School shootings cannot be stopped. They are just a regular part of life in America now. We might as well get used to it. Catholics parents need to get their kids out of public schools now! There is no reason... Continue Reading →
