What is the Purpose of Your Website/Blog?

Most of this web space involves explaining and exploring the wickedness of modernism and the pseudo-Catholic antichurch. There are two options nowadays: 1) The True Holy Catholic Church, and 2) The Counterfeit Ape of the Church (or antichurch). By acknowledging this distinction, we avoid the hazard of slipping into despair.

This isn’t about “fascination with abomination” but rather re-directing people to the infinite value of Traditional Catholicism. Here, we do not dwell on miseries without offering hopeful solutions. The goal is to counter the inevitable discouragement any sane person would experience after encountering the modernist hierarchy.

Am I alone when I question scandalous things in the Church (Jorge Bergoglio, Tucho Fernandez, Vatican II, guitar benedictions, or my tyrannical/modernist parish priest)?

No, but our enemies, led by the evil one would like for you to believe you are isolated. In fact, it’s literally the definition of “diabolical,” which means “to divide.” They would have you think, as you question the antichurch, that you’re a lone whacko chewing your nails off in the corner of your bedroom. You’re a disagreeable renegade, according to typical media sources (Catholic or secular).

After all, they might say, the rest of the world is getting vaccinations, wearing face panties, and letting their children become queers? Why aren’t you?

I strongly urge readers to learn how to recognize the signs of gaslighting and make adjustments accordingly.

Amid a world of discouragement, where might we find hope?

Someone asked me a question like this recently, and my response was to point to this picture of Jesus in my window. It’s that simple: Our Lord and Our Lady.

Why do you spend so much time writing polemics against your opponents? Jesus says “Judge Not!”

While excessive vitriol is sinful, and St. Benedict advises us to avoid “bitter zeal,” polemics are often useful, and in fact essential. As long as your zeal doesn’t compromise your interior peace or lead to losing charity, you shouldn’t have a problem. Let us also recall the many examples of Church Fathers who attacked heresies by opposing their corresponding heresiarchs (Contra Felicem, Adversus Jovinianus, Contra Fortunatum, Contra Vigilantius, etc.).

After all, you cannot seriously deflect Calvinism without addressing . . . John Calvin. Likewise, it’s the same with LUTHERanism, ARIANism, and every other declared heresy tied to a particular villain (as they almost always are). As the eminent thinker, Fr. Felix Sarda y Salvany, reminds us “the gunner is the principal factor in an artillery fight and not the cannon, the powder, and the bomb.”

Only the modernists teach the “Cumbayá” Catholicism, where one can never attack an opponent. Furthermore, there’s a tremendous difference between judging external manifestations versus someone’s interior disposition.

Finally, if the more unpleasant articles bother you, I have a section dedicated to topics on the Blessed Virgin Mary, which may be more uplifting than the anti-modernist polemics. Since Catholics aren’t zombies, we should avail ourselves of all licit and acceptable information: positive and negative, insofar as we don’t wander into the vice of curiosity.

Your “Bergoglio Dossier” is a mess. It’s a hodge-podge of complaints without a singular explanation or causal mechanism for his illegitimacy. What is the real reason Bergoglio isn’t the Pope?

Admittedly, the Bergoglio Dossier began as a “stream-of-consciousness” task where I jotted down everything that was bothering me about “Pope Francis.” The first item on the list shows the pectoral cross he wears, which resembles Egyptian gods (demon), popularized by satanists, like Aleister Crowley. While this, on its own, doesn’t cement Bergoglio’s antipapacy, I put it first as a visual attention grabber and illustration.

Nevertheless, the most important reason there is no Pope Francis is the substantial error of Pope Benedict XVI’s 2013 resignation, which made Bergoglio’s election logically impossible. I explained this in further detail in other places.

Are You a “Sedevacantist”?

The hyperlink at the end of that last answer explains my position on sedevacantism as well. Today, there are two types: 1) 1958 Sedevacantism, and 2) 2022 Sedevacantism. I adhere to the latter, which asserts that there has been no pope since the death of Pope Benedict XVI since December 31, 2022.

What Do You Think of “Such-and-Such” Politician?

I dedicate little time to politicians of any stripe. Virtually none are Catholic, and what few of them are, possess no problem with laying it aside in favor of worldly prudence and political vainglory. Furthermore, you will not see any resolution to our current misery or chastisement through the actions or social engineering of politicians. Only the Triumph of Mary will put an end to our current nightmares. So, to quote the Psalmist, we should trust God (and Our Lady), not princes.

Should I attend the Novus Ordo Mass?

Generally, you should not attend the new Mass, especially if there is an alternative within reasonable driving distance. That being said, there is some complexity to this topic. If you insist on attending a Novus Ordo Mass, one without pattens of communion plates to protect the Host, then you SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RECEIVE COMMUNION. That is because you would inevitably step on (or kneel upon) the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, which inevitably falls onto the floor.

Why do you seem to despise ALL authority figures? Don’t you know that obedience is the most important evangelical council and fundamental for Christian charity?

Obedience is an essential virtue, and, like all other virtues, we can sin against it through either a vice of deficiency or a vice of excess. To put it plainly, you can err by being disobedient (deficiency) or hyper-obedient (excess). Keep in mind, that it’s always hyper obedient to obey any unjust law (either in type, or from an unlawful authority).

My contention is that the vast preponderance of western civilization struggles much more with the vice of excess regarding obedience. This manifests itself several ways via an unhealthy deference to illegitimate secular authorities, false churchmen, illicit and evil ecumenical councils, and numerous other fabrications.

What are some practical strategies for handling the massive societal collapse we’re facing in the 2020s?

Pray the Rosary every day (15 decades), keep yourself in good physical condition, visit the Holy Eucharist or attend the TLM as much as possible, and find good spiritual reading. Also, avoid debt, reduce your spending, and don’t do anything the world can use to suck you into its various traps and hamster wheels. Above all less, detach from the world, consecrate yourself to Mary, and learn to love God.
