ON THE FEAST OF THE CHAIR OF SAINT PETER, THE APOSTLE I follow no leader but Christ and join in communion with none but your blessedness, that is, with the chair of Peter. I know that this is the rock on which the Church has been built. —St. Jerome, A.D. 396 A.D., Letters 15:2 […]
or watch with Closed Captioning here here is a video circulating of popular Catholic exorcist, Fr. Chad Rippberger, that throws into question the catholicity of the “gift of tongues” mentioned frequently by St. Paul and Our Lord Jesus himself. His video, in turn, is being used by a small but increasingly vocal segment […]
In your distress, when all these things shall have come upon you, you shall finally return to the LORD, your God, and listen to His voice. (Deuteronomy 4:30) here does truth come from? Where is the Church’s teaching derived from? What authority does she have to speak definitively?
WITH the Synod on Synodality wrapping up, a Final Document was authorized by Pope Francis. But as we read through it, the question emerges: “Just whom exactly are we listening to?”
TO His Holiness, Pope Francis: Dear Holy Father, Throughout the pontificate of your predecessor, St. John Paul II, he continually invoked us, the youth of the Church, to become “morning watchmen at the dawn of the new millennium.” [1]POPE JOHN PAUL II, Novo Millennio Inuente, n.9; (cf. Is 21:11-12) …watchmen who proclaim to […]
THERE is a Scripture lingering on my heart for months now, one I would consider a chief “sign of the times”: Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold. (Matt 24:11-12) What many people may not connect is “false […]
In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church begins at the top. —Cardinal Luigi Ciappi, —cited in The Still Hidden Secret, Christopher A. Ferrara, p. 43 IN a statement on the Vatican’s website, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone provided an interpretation of the so-called “Third […]
Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been pasturing themselves! Should not shepherds pasture the flock? (Ezekiel 34:5-6) IT’S clear the Church has entered a period of great confusion and division — exactly what Our Lady predicted at Akita when she said: The work of the devil will infiltrate […]
Some people are reporting that this blog appears as white text on the tan background. That is a problem with your browser. Update or switch to another browser, such as Firefox. THERE is no question that a post-Vatican II revolution of “progressives” has wreaked havoc in the Church, ultimately […]
ONE of the “now words” the Lord has sealed on my heart is that He is allowing His people to be tested and refined in a kind of “last call” to the saints. He is allowing the “cracks” in our spiritual lives to be exposed and exploited in order to shake us, as there […]
THE second Sunday of Easter is Divine Mercy Sunday. It is a day that Jesus promised to pour out immeasurable graces to the degree that, for some, it is “the last hope of salvation.” Still, many Catholics have no idea what this feast is or never hear about it from the pulpit. As you’ll see, this […]
ON THE MEMORIAL OF ST. JOHN PAUL II Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors to Christ”! —ST. JOHN PAUL II, Homily, Saint Peter’s Square October 22, 1978, No. 5 First published June 18th, 2019. YES, I know John Paul II often said, “Be not afraid!” But as we see the Storm […]
SOMEONE asked me the other day, “You are not leaving the Holy Father or the true magisterium, are you?” I was startled by the question. “No! what gave you that impression??” He said he wasn’t sure. So I reassured him that schism is not on the table. Period.
See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In the wilderness I make a way, in the wasteland, rivers. (Isaiah 43:19) I HAVE pondered a lot of late about the trajectory of certain elements of the hierarchy toward a false mercy, or what I wrote about […]
Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than the one that we preached to you, let that one be accursed! (Gal 1:8) THEY spent three years at the feet of Jesus, listening carefully to His teaching. When He ascended into Heaven, He left them a […]
Nihil innovetur, nisi quod traditum est “Let there be no innovation beyond what has been handed down.” —POPE Saint Stephen I (+ 257) THE Vatican’s permission for priests to dole out blessings for same-sex “couples” and those in “irregular” relationships has created a deep fissure within the Catholic Church. Within days of its […]
DEAR brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I want to leave you on a more positive note, despite this most troubling week. It’s in the short video below that I recorded last week, but never sent out to you. It’s a most apropos message for what has transpired this week, but is a general […]
Note: Since publishing this, I have added some supporting quotes from authoritative voices as responses around the world continue to roll out. This is too crucial a subject for the collective concerns of the Body of Christ to not be heard. But the framework of this reflection and arguments remain unchanged. THE news […]
A NEW scandal has rocketed across the world with headlines proclaiming that Pope Francis has authorized priests to bless same-sex couples. This time, the headlines weren’t spinning it. Is this the Great Shipwreck Our Lady spoke of three years ago?
The pope cannot commit heresy when he speaks ex cathedra, this is a dogma of faith. In his teaching outside of ex cathedra statements, however, he can commit doctrinal ambiguities, errors and even heresies. And since the pope is not identical with the entire Church, the Church is stronger than a singular erring or […]
A Flaming Sword 1917: …at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady […]
Now to Him who can strengthen you, according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ… to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith… (Rom 16:25-26) …he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. (Phil 2:8) GOD must be shaking His head, if not laughing […]
Duccio, The Betrayal of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, 1308 All of you will have your faith shaken, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be dispersed.’ (Mark 14:27) Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers… […]
Baphomet – Photo by Matt Anderson IN a paper on occultism in the Age of Information, its authors note that “members of the occult community are oath-bound, even on pain of death and destruction, not to reveal that which Google will instantly share.” And so, it is well known that secret societies will simply […]
The Black Madonna of Częstochowa – profaned If you live in a time that no man will give you good counsel, nor any man give you good example, when you shall see virtue punished and vice rewarded… stand fast, and firmly stick to God upon pain of life… — Saint Thomas More, beheaded in […]
IT was a quiet word, more like an impression this morning: There is coming a moment when clergy will enforce “climate change” dogma.
THIS morning, I dreamt I was in a church sitting off to the side, next to my wife. The music being played were songs I had written, though I’d never heard them until this dream. The entire church was quiet, no one was singing. Suddenly, I began to quietly sing along spontaneously, raising up […]
The world at the approach of a new millennium, for which the whole Church is preparing, is like a field ready for the harvest. —ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II, World Youth Day, homily, August 15th, 1993 First published on February 2, 2023… he Catholic world has been abuzz recently with the […]
IN the wake of the outgoing, affectionate, and even revolutionary pontificate of St. John Paul II, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was cast under a long shadow when he assumed the throne of Peter. But what would soon mark the pontificate of Benedict XVI would not be his charisma or humor, his personality or vigor — […]
Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.” […]
The confused will be swept away like the wind.
Dear young people, it is up to you to be the watchmen of the morning who announce the coming of the sun who is the Risen Christ! —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Message of the Holy Father to the Youth of the World, XVII World Youth Day, n. 3; (cf. Is 21:11-12) First published […]
For it is time for the judgment to begin with the household of God; if it begins with us, how will it end for those who fail to obey the gospel of God? (1 Peter 4:17) WE are, without question, beginning to live through some of the most extraordinary and serious moments in […]
THE new Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, gave a powerful and prophetic speech that recalls the prescient warnings of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. First, that speech (note: adblockers must may need to be turned off if you cannot view it):
Peter’s Denial by Michael D. O’Brien Years ago at the height of his preaching ministry and before leaving the public eye, Fr. John Corapi came to a conference I was attending. In his deep throaty voice, he took to the stage, looked out upon the intent crowd with a grimace and exclaimed: “I’m angry. […]
(AP Photo, Gregorio Borgia/Photo, The Canadian Press) SEVERAL Catholic churches were burned to the ground and dozens more vandalized in Canada last year as allegations surfaced that “mass graves” were discovered at former residential schools there. These were institutions, established by the Canadian government and run in part with the assistance of the Church, […]
I KNOW that I have not written much for several months about the “times” in which we are living. The chaos of our recent move to the province of Alberta has been a major upheaval. But the other reason is that a certain hard-heartedness has set in the Church, particularly among educated Catholics who […]
ON THE SOLEMNITY OF ST. JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY SO much is happening, so quickly these days — just as the Lord said it would.[1]cf. Warp Speed, Shock and Awe Indeed, the closer we draw to the “Eye of the Storm”, the faster the winds of change are blowing. This man-made […]

…each particular Church must be in accord with the universal Church not only regarding the doctrine of the faith and sacramental signs, but also as to the usages universally received from apostolic and unbroken tradition. These are to be observed not only so that errors may be avoided, but also that the faith may […]
…as the Church’s one and only indivisible magisterium, the pope and the bishops in union with him, carry the gravest responsibility that no ambiguous sign or unclear teaching comes from them, confusing the faithful or lulling them into a false sense of security. —Cardinal Gerhard Müller, former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of […]
THE words were clear and concise as I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament last week: Brace for impact…
Christ’s faithful are at liberty to make known their needs, especially their spiritual needs, and their wishes to the Pastors of the Church. They have the right, indeed at times the duty, in keeping with their knowledge, competence and position, to manifest to the sacred Pastors their views on matters which concern the good of […]
Mark Mallett is a former award-winning journalist with CTV News Edmonton (CFRN TV) and resides in Canada. IT’S a year unlike any other on planet earth. Many know deep down that there is something very wrong taking place. No one is allowed to have an opinion any more, no matter how many […]
THERE is a scene in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings where Helms Deep is under attack. It was supposed to be an impenetrable stronghold, surrounded by the massive Deeping Wall. But a vulnerable spot is discovered, which the forces of darkness exploit by causing all kinds of distraction and then planting and igniting an […]
