For many souls, the experience of faith today has been marked by the rediscovery of ancient traditions that were once discarded in the name of alleged progress. This so-called “progress” has, in many ways, led to the loss of the richness and depth of our faith. This is particularly evident in areas such as liturgy,…
Judas betrayed Jesus. We all do. When we look at the details surrounding Judas, we cringe. He is a close follower of Jesus, part of His inner circle, and he completely turned against Him. No doubt, his decision was ugly and it was done in the dark. He was hiding his desire to turn his…
Damaging wind gusts, hail, and rain swept into Washington, D.C., on April 3—the 29th day of Lent, the day Theodore McCarrick stopped breathing, the day he stood across from Jesus Christ. Since no bishop dared to speak on his behalf, Mother Nature eulogized. When the storm lifted and the sun shone, I thought of Fr….
This Holy Week, as we join spiritually in the cross of our Redeemer, let us keep the Blessed Virgin Mary as our model. We often hear our Lord’s words repeated: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” but not always in the context of Our Lord’s Passion. The fact is, our sins…
On the 5th of April in the year of Jesus Christ’s reign, 1419, St. Vincent Ferrer went to his eternal reward. His feast was ten days ago. It is remarkable how little this wonder-working saint is known in the Church, since he worked some of the greatest miracles that have been seen since the time…
Mark Carney’s ascent in Canadian politics—unelected, unaccountable, and orchestrated by global elites—signals more than a national leadership transition. It offers a stark preview of a post-democratic future: one defined by centralized economic control, digital surveillance, demographic engineering, and ideological enforcement. Carney’s vision is not merely politically misguided; it is… Source Read More
It was uncanny listening to Douglas Murray’s viral Joe Rogan interview the same weekend we Catholics listened to the Passion Narrative during Mass at the beginning of Holy Week. Both were excruciating reminders of how God is betrayed. The first thing I noticed when I listened to Murray’s back-and-forth with Rogan and the good-hearted comedian…
Dr. Kwasniewski’s new book from Emmaus Academic, Anatomy of Transcendence: Mental Excess and Rapture in the Thought and Life of Thomas Aquinas, is a creative, original take on the literary corpus of the man the Church calls “the Common Doctor” (“common” because his writings are a universal treasure for the whole Church). The ordering premise…
Earlier this month, largely by coincidence, two articles of mine came out in different places, exploring the connection between the cause for the Traditional Mass and the Jews. In an article for the Pastoral and Homiletic Review (and see here) I examine a document produced by the American Jewish Committee in 1961, intended to influence…
How much of the Passion did Our Lady witness, and how did she understand it? It’s an important question not just because she is the mother of God but because, as our Catechism teaches, Mary is the “Church’s model of faith and charity,” and thus “she is a ‘preeminent and…wholly unique member of the Church’;…
