Holiness: we are thus commanded to be Holy, but what does it mean?
Saint Athanasius wrote: ”For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.”

May 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Over at the Kabuki Theater of Dissident Catholic Outrage the question was asked “What’s so magical about the US Constitution?”
The author expressed the opinion that “Even more confusing…is what I owe the US constitution as a Catholic. I feel that there is such a treasure trove of Catholic thought out there that, comparatively, renders the [...]

“For if there is one law that we can be most certain of, it is the law that binds people of all faiths and no faith together, it’s no coincidence that it exists in Christianity and Judaism; in Islam and Hinduism; in Buddhism and humanism. It is, of course, the Golden Rule – the [...]

Make no mistake, the commencement speech at Notre Dame and reception of degree Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa by President Barack Obama is a calculated move to further divide the Catholic Church in America and thus secure the Catholic left to further the agenda of the Democratic Party. The Fabian socialist agenda of the Democratic [...]

In the previous post I concluded:
This is the reality of the Theology of the Body of which the conjugal union of husband and wife is a reflection.
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it…” Ephesians 5:25.
This is the reality of marriage in which the husband is [...]

Abysmal apathy, matrimony, natural law, same sex marriage, crickets chirping in the pews.

The federal government of Mexico has sent additional troops to a border city to quell violence caused by the drug cartels. This news escapes the notice of most Americans, those who do attend to it see it only in the shallow perspective of “immigration reform” and the problem of “illegal aliens”.
Ciudad Juarez is Mexico’s 4th [...]

Maria De Agreda and the Immaculate Conception
January 2, 2009 | 2 Comments
Ven. Sor Maria de Agreda could well be called the Doctor of the Immaculate Conception. Her work, the Mystical City of God is a profound opus in which she very deliberately expounds Marian principles that are only coming to light today.
