"Kwasniewski’s program for a new Church constitution (after years of heavy hints) has finally seen the light of day as a Manifesto translated from German and heavily inspired by Georg Hegel. This turgid text might only be closely examined by those sympathetic or scandalised enough to be bothered (it’s a pity Luther is not around – he could have helped with the prose), but it leaves one thing clear: Kwasniewski is no traditional Catholic....It is also for the reader to fathom how Kwasniewski’s declaration of neutrality1concerning the SSPX consecrations can be reconciled with his total support for a Manifesto centred on condemning these consecrations and ridiculing their justification." The high church modernist Synodal Way to …
Vinicius returns to the theme of High Church Modernism (see previous articles here and here) – that incoherent ideology found among many influential ‘traditionalist’ commentators but which is in fact a blend of occult mysticism, Vatican II ecclesiology and the rejection of the decrees of the dogmatic First Vatican Council. by Vinicius For Gallican “reformers” the Catholic Church has been all wrong for most of the last thousand years. Their unoriginal solution (in view of Lutheranism, Gallicanism, Anglicanism etc) is to go back to the “early Church”. Writers like Peter Kwasniewski, Sebastian Morello, and Tim Flanders can’t be sure exactly what period has to be dusted off or what this means; the only dogma seems to be anti-papalism and open-ended radical change to the constitution and even doctrine of the Church. Traditional rite Catholics who endorse the unorthodox novelties and equivocations in Vatican II texts have been thrown completely off-balance by the Society of Saint Pius …

Fri Apr 24, 2026 - 5:46 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Sigifredo Noriega Barceló of Zacatecas, Mexico, called on the faithful during an interview published this week to commemorate the centenary of the Cristero War (which began in 1926) to get to know their faith better in order to defend the Church. In an interview with ACI Prensa published April 21 ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Cristero War, which saw hundreds of thousands of Mexican Catholics martyred for their faith, Bishop Noriega lamented that in the century after these events, many of the country’s faithful no longer hold the solid faith of the Cristeros. The bishop then emphasized that the best way to defend the faith today is to increase knowledge of it and therefore grow in Christ. “The religious principles that govern our lives are not so solid,” Noriega said, stressing that for this reason the faithful need to strengthen their faith formation. The bishop noted that the Cristeros would call on today’s faithful to …
The last journey doesn't send a warning. It arrives without asking. Without preparation. Sometimes... it doesn't even give you a chance to say goodbye. You leave without an "I love you," Without a "Forgive me," Without that last, unspoken embrace. We spend our days obsessed with plans— Vacations, career goals, shopping lists, errands to run…But we rarely think about that other trip. The one that comes like a thief in the night, Grabs you by the hand—and takes you away. It doesn’t matter if you’re ready, If you’re wide awake or fast asleep, If you’re terrified, Or if you still have so much left to say. And it hurts. It hurts so much it’s hard to draw a breath. Because only then do we realize that we can't take anything with us. Not our things, not our titles... only the love we gave. Only the memories we left behind in the hearts of others. Sometimes we walk out the door in a rage, Slamming it behind us... Never thinking that it might be our very last "goodbye." Seeing so many people …More
'May all hallow your Name, so that your Kingdom may come, and your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven'. This was the purpose of Creation, and I asked the Father that it be fulfilled. As I prayed, the Father surrendered to my supplications, and I formed the seed of a good so great; and so that this seed might be known, I taught my prayer to the Apostles, and they transmitted it to the whole Church, so that, just as the people of the future Redeemer found salvation in Him and disposed itself to receive the promised Messiah, in the same way, with this seed formed by Me, the Church might pray and repeat my very prayer many times, and might dispose Herself to receive the good of recognizing and loving my Celestial Father as their Father, in such a way as to deserve to be loved as children and receive the great good that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven. In this seed and in this hope that my Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven, the very Saints have formed their sanctity …More
2 Peter 2:21-22 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs: “The dog returns to its own vomit,” and “The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”
Jude 7: 7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust,[a] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Day of the Most Holy Miracle of Santarém In the year 1247, a poor woman lived in Santarém whose husband greatly offended her, going astray with another woman. Tired of suffering, she went to ask a Jewish witch to end her misfortune with her spells. The witch promised her an effective remedy, but for that she needed a Consecrated Host. After much hesitation, the poor woman consented to the sacrilege. She went to the Church of Santo Estêvão, confessed, and asked for Communion. Once she had received the Sacred Particle, she carefully removed it from her mouth and wrapped it in her veil. She quickly left the church and headed for the witch’s house. However, without her noticing, blood began to drip from the veil. Several people saw it and asked the unfortunate woman what wounds she had that were bleeding so much. Extremely confused, she ran home and locked the Miraculous Host inside one of her chests. Later that day, in the afternoon, her husband returned. Deep in the night, both woke up …More
Jesus explained that it was preferable to be punished with the death penalty than to face the eternal punishment that awaits those who corrupt the weak and cause them to stumble. Luke 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas Pro death … Saint Thomas Aquinas, in the *Summa Theologiae*, teaches that heretics render themselves worthy not only of excommunication but also of physical extermination. In his *Summa Theologiae*, he writes: "In the case of heretics, two aspects must be considered: one on their part, and the other on the part of the Church. On their part, there is indeed a sin whereby they have merited not only separation from the Church through excommunication, but also exclusion from the world THROUGH DEATH." "However, on the part of the Church, there is mercy in favor of the conversion of those who err; and for this reason …More
Catena Aurea: Saint Jerome When the Lord says: "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, etc.," He employs the language customary in that province; for it was the custom among the ancient Jews to punish the most heinous criminals by casting them into the sea bound to a stone—a punishment that was, in fact, preferable for them. For it is far better to undergo a brief punishment than to be reserved to suffer eternal torments.
Jesus endorsed the death penalty to protect the innocent from depraved men who seek to corrupt them or cause them to sin. Matthew 18:6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
'I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible. I don't care what the bible says. I just don't care...at the end of the day Paul was wrong." Pastor Joe Smith of Meizon Church (Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) explains that he doesn't care what Paul says in the bible.
