Missouri is now 100% FREE of COVID tyranny. The state will take the Sweden approach. Vaccines are optional. Masks are optional. People are allowed to get sick if they want to. There will be no nanny-state. Everyone is responsible for their own bodies, and the government will no longer pander to COVIDophobia. If the hospitals are overwhelmed, that's on the people in those cities. They're free to make their own choices and pay the consequences accordingly.

Happy New Year, Feast of Mary, Mother of God !!!

Whenever the day comes when we get a strong pope, not a feeble old man like Francis, but a REAL MAN, with spiritual fortitude, then maybe (just maybe) the Jesuit Order will finally be suppressed.

The Francis papacy is coming to an end, as we have now entered the last pages of his pontificate. What do we make of him? Some have said he is a bad pope, others have said he’s an antipope.

Only a future pope could determine if he is an antipope, and therefore all Catholics are obliged to regard him as pope until that day.

I say, only what I have always said for years now. Francis is a WEAK pope. When I say weak, I don’t mean he can’t do anything. What I mean by that is he is spiritually weak. He has too easily given into the spirit of this age, and failed to stand for the Catholic faith like his predecessors did. He has allowed Modernism to control him, and he’s given in to the bullying of the lavender mafia. His desire to be loved by everyone has led him only to be cherished by his enemies, and he seems blind to see that those he considers his friends, have only the destruction of his papacy In mind.

Francis is weak. That is his legacy. It’s not over yet. He still has time to turn it around, but with each passing day the window of opportunity closes just one more inch.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Holy Communion is "just symbolic." The notion that it is just symbolic is a man-made tradition.

THE MEDIA LIES when it reports that sexual abuse is higher in the Catholic Church. FACT: sexual abuse is exactly the same in the Catholic Church as it is the Baptist churches, Evangelical churches, Methodist churches, etc. Insurance companies report it is exactly the same. However, sexual abuse is significantly higher in public schools and secular institutions. The less religious, the higher the sexual abuse. That’s the real story the media doesn’t want you to know.

Apparently, this passes for a Mass in the Archdiocese of Chicago, but the 1962 Missal is to be restricted? QUESTION: What religion is Cardinal Cupich promoting in Chicago?

The Reform of the Reform that never was. The unfinished work of Pope Benedict XVI now appears to be lost forever. His intention was to bring the Novus Ordo Mass into closer alignment with the Traditional Latin Mass. Now we have Francis, and everything is in chaos.

Many Christians accept the Bible as their holy book, but they have no clue of where the Bible came from, or how we got it today. I wrote this article a few years ago to help educate Christians about the origins of our own holy book. If you accept the Bible as God's word, you probably ought to know where it came from and how we got it in its current form...

I don’t usually recommend Protestant books, but for J.I. Packer I’ll make an exception. This is a highly respectable work, easy to read, and a great reference book. If more Evangelicals read this book, the world would be a better place…

Some Catholics are worried about the glut of church closures going on right now in the United States and elsewhere. I am, on the other hand, not worried about it at all. It’s the most normal and natural thing in the world, and it is good! Yes, that’s right, I said good!

You see, this is the end result of what happens when you gut the liturgy, innovate your way through the mass, abuse the traditions of the Church, emasculate the priesthood, teach New Age theology, and turn a diocese into a gay hookup club. These dioceses need to shrink. They need to lose their influence. They need to wither on the vine. And it is good that they do.

In contrast, the Traditional Latin Mass continues to grow, in spite of Traditionis Custodes. The SSPX is booming. Other traditional fraternities continue to do well. The Ordinariates of English Patrimony are doing well. The Eastern Catholic churches are doing well. The few dioceses where the bishop is strong and orthodox, they are doing well too.

This is exactly the way it’s supposed to be. The liberal Catholic Church is dying. While the traditional and orthodox Catholic Church is thriving. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Would you?

Look, I’m very sorry if your bishop is like this. It’s tragic, I know. Nevertheless, it’s time to move on. The mainstream Catholic Church is dying. It’s withering on the vine because of atrocious, unorthodox, innovative, modernist, homosexual and abusive clergy. It deserves to wither. It really is time to leave them behind and let them fail. We’re not doing them any favors by keeping them afloat with our patronage. Find a Traditional Latin Mass. Find an Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy. Find an Ordinariate English Patrimony Mass. Go there instead. It’s all Catholic, so you’re good. Just take care of your family and rebuild your spiritual life. Let these losers deal with their own problem. Retake control of your life and get your faith back back on track!

I’m starting to understand now why Pope Benedict XVI resigned. If I found myself the prime minister of such a corrupt and criminal institution in the Western Catholic hierarchy, I would probably quit too!

However, before he left, he gave us the tools we need to outlive this corrupt and perverted generation of bishops. We have the Latin Mass. We have the Eastern Rites. And now we have the English Patrimony. All of them are safe islands of refuge in the crisis. While the mainstream Church withers on the vine, we have some places we can go to rebuild our own faith, our own lives and our own families. This generation of bishops will someday pass, but they will do unthinkable damage to the Church before they go. It’s best for us to move on to one of these islands and wait them out.

So this conservative talk-show guy nails it. Vaccine mandates are not only immoral, and tyrannical, but they also cause regular people to start questioning the vaccine itself. They start to wonder: “Hey, what’s in this stuff, and why does the government want me to take it so bad?” Mandates arouse suspicion and actually prevent people from taking it, who otherwise would have taken it without the mandate. I predicted this would happen long ago.

215 pages! That's the size of my new book. It's actually a little shorter than I thought it would be, but definitely within the target zone of what I was hoping to accomplish (between 200 to 250 pages). My last attempt at this book was way too long, and boring, so I'm much happier with this newer and more succinct version. My target audience prefers smaller books anyway, so this should work out nicely. The rough draft is complete. Final editing is in process. Pray for a quick turnaround. I would like to get this thing published before the end of the month, but it won't be a disaster if I have to push the date back some. We shall see.

Merry Christmas! January 5 is the 12th day of Christmas. Tonight is Twelfth Night. January 6 is the Epiphany! According to English tradition, Christmastide ends tonight, and we enter Epiphanytide tomorrow (January 6). If you have a natural Christmas tree, it probably needs to come down tomorrow for practical reasons. If your Christmas tree is artificial, it can be left up until Candlemas on February 2. All remaining Christmas decor is taken down by February 2 and stored for Advent next December. Epiphanytide remains until Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, which happens this year on March 2.

The customs and traditions of English Christianity are beautiful and very Christ-centered. It’s no wonder the cultural Marxists want to eliminate them. Sadly, many American Christians abandoned those English customs in the early 20th Century, in favor of commercialized Christmas and commercialized Easter, and even commercialized (occultist) All Hallows’ Eve. We have so much to be thankful for in our English Christian customs. It’s time we rediscover them!
