My field of study in graduate school was communism. As a fellow at the Russian Institute of Columbia’s School of International Affairs, I was, if I remember correctly, one of seven students in the entire university to major in what was known at the time as “Communist Affairs.” I cite this in order to make…

We give the name of Pascal Time to the period between Easter Sunday and the Saturday following Pentecost Sunday. It is the most sacred portion of the liturgical year, and the one towards which the whole cycle converges. We shall easily understand how this is, if we reflect upon the greatness of Easter, which is…

On March 11, 2023 the false Pope Bergoglio was asked the following: What is your own interpretation of hell and paradise, and what happens to people who go to hell, and what to those who goto paradise? ‘Pope’ Francis responds: Hell is a state, there are people who live in hell continuously.…hell is a state,…

Not long before he died in 1226, St. Francis of Assisi called together the brothers of his Order and warned them of great tribulations that would afflict the Church at some point in the future.

There are many quotes that could be rendered to demonstrate why this is, but let’s present a couple from Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Satis Cognitum On the Unity of the Church: The Church has…

As stated previously in this Column when discussing the errors of Feeneyism on Baptism of Blood and Baptism of Desire, the Universal Ordinary Magisterium whether it contains non-fallible or infallible teaching, must be adhered to by all Catholics. There comes a problem, then, when assessing Vatican II because it “changed” Church teaching on major issues,…

The Traditional movement is full of individuals who have taken on what is called the “Recognize & Resist” understanding of the Church. Included on this list are people like “Bishop” Athanasius Schneider, “Archbishop” Carlo Vigano, “Cardinal” Raymond Burke, et al. I put quotes around their titles, because as I have demonstrated in this Column previously,…

The following is a list of [top shelf] pre-Vatican II theologians who teach baptism of desire and baptism of blood. This includes St. Alphonsus Ligouri, St. Robert Bellarmine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Ambrose and St. Augustine all Doctors of the Church. There are others, perhaps many others. I have just listed these theologians based on…
