How to Bring Back the Youth
The mainstream Catholic Church is failing, and will continue to fail more dramatically in the years ahead. Dioceses will downsize, parishes will close and be merged. It’s all part of the managed-decline of the Boomer Bishops who are still trying to impose a 1970s mindset on the Church. Where are the youth? How do we […]

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 […]

Christ Our Victory
Two Millennia ago, the eternal Logos (λόγος), or “The Word” of God, the First Cause of the universe, who created all things, and from whom all things were made (John 1:1-3 & 14) became flesh and dwelt among us. From this singular act of mercy, all others would issue forth. It would stretch backward in […]

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 End of America
Some people call me “Dr. Doom.” This is probably because of my pessimistic outlook on some things. I understand. When the only nation you’ve ever known in life is destined to fail, and somebody tells you that, it can be a real drag. If I told you the Roman Empire was destined to fall, that […]

How to Stop the Civil Unrest
The first thing we need to understand about these #BlackLivesMatter protests and riots is that they were years in the making. The second thing we need to understand is that they’re not all about racial injustice and police brutality. There is something much deeper at work here. The third thing we need to understand is […]
