The Sun will Be Darkened And the Moon Will Not Give Its Light
Many things are predicted in relation to signs that will occur before the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the 24th chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew, and the Apocalypse of St. John especially, we see the use of apocalyptic language to convey important ideas that transcend prose but are more aptly…

Could it Happen Here? It is Happening Here II
The greatest of all freedoms, that of speech, is disappearing. Since Lenin, no left-wing institution or country ever allowed dissent, and the left in America — which is elected and defended by liberals — is no exception. Already almost half of all college students say they do not believe in free speech for “hate speech,”…

Could it happen here? It is Happening here
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…

Paschal Time
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…

The source for this prophecy is found in Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi [London: R. Washbourne,…

The Apostasy II
Depending on who you talk to, the Great Apostasy that St. Paul refers to, began with the Protestant revolt, or more probably with the promulgation of Vatican II on December 8, 1965. Specifically, my opinion is Luther’s revolt was the first stage of future events that have made the faithful shutter and the cosmos shake.…

The Apostasy I
St. Paul in his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians states the following: Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revoltfirst, [apostasy in Greek] and the man of sin revealed, the son of perdition…whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, andsigns and lying wonders…and in…

Recognize And Resist Dishonesty III
Why is the “Recognize and Resist” position as exemplified by Taylor Marshall and many other so-called theologians and bloggers so bad? 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…

Recognize And Resist Dishonesty II
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,…
