Going forward, you’ll notice that all of my blogs will have an audio feature attached above the text for the visually impaired, or for those who would rather listen to the blog than read it. This can come in handy when driving your car, for example. Each blog will also be featured on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and other common podcast hosts. Feel free to subscribe to any of those. Please keep in mind, I am making these audio files myself, and that takes a little time. So there could be a small delay between the written blog and the audio blog/podcast.

Here’s a sample…

My book has been used by priests and catechists throughout the United States and beyond. If you don’t have a copy yet, consider a hardback for your library…

BREAKING: Any Catholic may become a regular member of an Ordinariate parish. Switching bishops to the Ordinariate is no longer necessary.
🚨 🚨 🚨
BREAKING: Now that regular Catholics can become members of Ordinariate parishes, several new Pre-Ordinariate Groups are starting up around North America and the UK. You can find them here, and help them get started. It may even be possible to start such a group in your area! Pass it on...

There is a very simple, long term, solution to the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church. In addition to maintaining all of the reforms and precautions that the US Catholic Church has instituted, Rome could assist by banning all future gay clerics, and forcing the resignation of all known gay clerics who are actively practicing homosexuality. Sadly, that's not going to happen under this pope.
This disaster of a cardinal is a perfect example of everything that's wrong in the Catholic Church, and sadly, his opinion is pretty much the norm in Rome and the USCCB. So if we are to take him seriously, (and we shouldn't), we would have to conclude that "anything goes." You can pretty much hold to any political opinion you want, no matter how criminal, and never have to worry about being denied communion because "it's not a sin." By Cardinal Turkson's standard, we could hold to the political opinion that euthanasia is okay too, even of healthy children of any age, because holding such a political opinion (in and of itself), and voting upon it, "is not a sin." Thanks for clearing that up Your Eminence.

Here's a map of no-nonsense Catholic parishes that take the faith seriously. Feel free to attend, financially support, or both!!!

If you want to financially support diocesan structures that are worthy of your donations, and most certainly WILL FULFILL your religious obligation to support the Church, I am going to make just three suggestions...

The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (https://ordinariate.net)
The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (https://fssp.com)
The Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priest (https://www.institute-christ-king.org)
You can't expect to ever see renewal in the Church unless you are willing to financially support WORTHY jurisdictions and parishes. Complaining about the corruption in the Church is not good enough. You've got to put your money where your mouth is.
Here are over 40 parishes, in the US and Canada, worth giving your donations to. Each one has a reverent liturgy in traditional English, celebrates Mass ad orientem, serves communion on the tongue while kneeling, and preaches orthodox Catholic doctrine. This is just 40 mind you. There are more, lots more! But you get the point. Don’t just complain! Start putting your money where your mouth is if you want to solve the problems in the Catholic Church…

Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is now, and has always been, a matter of conscience, and it should remain that way. I have always ENCOURAGED people to take a vaccine, I’ve even recommended one in particular (Moderna), but I’ve never tolerated vaccine mandates or passports, and I never will. What seems particularly insidious to me is the persecution of bishops towards their own flock, forbidding them Mass and the sacraments if they will not consent to having their conscience violated. For shame! Like many other healthcare workers, I rushed into the rooms of patients dying from COVID-19 before I was vaccinated and I have never deprived those people of ANYTHING that was their right to have, and my obligation of Christian charity to give. I risked my life, and continue to, for the sake of Christian charity. My wife risked her husband. My children risked their father. All for Christian charity. I am ashamed and embarrassed at bishops who would deprive their flock of their most basic spiritual needs because of fear of this disease. Shame on them! Shame!!! Cowards!!! Be men, for heavens sake, be men!

Let’s put this into perspective. In the same time period, we have uncovered only 1/10 the number of victims of clerical sex-abuse in the entire United States. Stop and consider this. In the entire United States, from Maine to California, including Alaska and Hawaii, the number of abuse victims in the US Catholic Church, from the 1950s to present, was about 20,000. But in France, that small nation in Europe, it was ten-times that amount at over 200,000 !!!!

My God!

My dear God!!!

What the hell?

The French Catholic Church was running a pederast and pedophilia ring that was industrial strength compared to the US. For every one minor our perverts in the US molested, the French perverts molested 10.

I think we’ve learned something from this. France was the epicenter of clerical sexual abuse worldwide. That’s where it may have all began. That’s where it may have branched out from, starting in the 1930s and 40s, so that it’s effects were felt as early as the 1950s.

There is credible evidence that all of this began with Communist infiltration into the Church, recruiting sexual deviants for the priesthood. Maybe so, but at this point it’s ancient history and it doesn’t matter. What matters now is stopping the abuse and bringing justice to the victims. We can no longer allow sexual deviants into the priesthood, and that includes homosexuals.

Part of being Catholic means understanding that there is a separation between the institutions that Christ established (papacy, bishops, priests, deacons) and the corrupt men who sometimes occupy those offices.

Remember, Judas Iscariot was an Apostle !!! He was appointed to this position by Jesus Christ himself. Judas’ corruption does not destroy the office of Apostle. Nor did it nullify it, nor did it in delegitimize it. When Judas died, his position was just given to another (Matthias), and that was it. The end.

That’s how it works. Men are temporary. Church offices are forever, because they were established by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. So they cannot be undone. The priests and bishops responsible for the sexual abuse of minors will join Judas in hell for their crimes, but their offices will simply be filled by another, and history moves one.
It’s difficult enough for a straight man to remain celibate. How much more difficult it is for a gay man to remain celibate. Ordaining homosexuals to the priesthood is setting these men up for failure. It’s cruel not only to the gay cleric, but also to everyone he ministers to. Only a bishop who hates both his priests and his flock would ordain a gay man to the priesthood.
Based on their tyrannical actions, the Democrats are insuring that they’ll never be able to win an election (legitimately) again.
