It’s unfortunate that I have to write this. Why? Because the Fathers allow this attitude of, “freedom of expression or opinion,” which our liberal, secular society encourages. That is unless it’s directed at the Fathers.

Lets start with the, Eighth Commandment of God. Lying, slander, rash judgment, calumny, slander, envy, hatred, and vengeance just to name a few. Continue reading →

Letter to a friend:

I’m afraid you do not realize what you just said. Who is the government but the people of the United States. Our sons and daughters are part of home land security, F.B.I., C.I.A. and this goes on and on down the line. Continue reading →

So Adam’s birth or creation day would fall on the 22nd of March, feast of the Seven Sorrows or if next week Good Friday, Ex:12. The reading on Good Friday, Holy Saturday Gen: 1. Continue reading →

Scapegoat a reflection of Devil Symbol

I heard someone on the radio who said that the picture symbol of the Devil, the red colored, two horned with the goatee and tail, wasn’t in the Bible. But it sure is. It is a reflection of the Jews who rejected Christ. Red is the color of the Church. (Both Hebrew & Catholic) These colors are found in the Ephod for the Breast plate worn by the High Priest and in one of the Scarlet Veil’s in the Holy of Holies. Continue reading →

We know God created us. The Church tells us that He wants us to know Him to love Him and to serve Him in this world and in the next. Could it also have been that without a creation, there would be no one to know of the existence of God? Not that God needs to have anyone to know He exists, but that we creatures might be able to share His love and goodness. This could give a probable cause for creation. Continue reading →

Have pity on me, O Lord, for I am in distress, with sorrow my eye is consumed, my Soul also, and my body. For my life is spent with grief, and my tears with sighing, my strength has failed through affliction, and my bones are consumed; For all my foes I am an object of reproach, and a dread to my friends, they who see me abroad flee from me, I am forgotten like the unremembered dead, I am like like a dish that is broken. I hear the whispers of the crowd, that frighten me from every side, as they consult together against me, plotting to take my life, but my trust is in you O Lord, I say, you are my God, in your hands is my destiny, Continue reading →

The world since time immemorial has been motivated towards solving the world’s problems (not that we shouldn’t work to lessen the ills of society). But since time immemorial we continue to ignore God’s revelation that He did not create this world for it to be a paradise on the equal level as Heaven. Even though Adam and Eve were as perfectly happy as one can be in the imperfect state of the godly image, we see Adam as lonely, and Eve choosing the forbidden fruit, which resulted in Original SIN. After Original Sin, God promised a Redeemer who would once again open the gates of Paradise  Continue reading →

I visit St. Joseph’s in Las Vegas three or four times a year which gives me an opportunity to visit with other (traditional) Catholics then after the morning Masses on Sunday I drive Father Krier down to Needles, Ca. for a 4 pm Mass there. Needles has a small group and the property where Father was having Mass was sold and they just about completed a new Chapel which I found impressive. Big enough for about sixty people.

A reflection on many of our traditional Catholic friends who, in explaining the situation effecting the Vatican II Church dilemma by speaking in a sophisticated manner, devoid of simplicity as they continue to put theological answers in a highly complicated mode for the purpose of Impression.

Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost

Christian wisdom does not judge and choose according to rebellious instincts or misguided opinion: it chooses according to the teachings of the New Testament, (Bible) and in view of man’s destiny for eternal happiness. Continue reading →

“Mind the things that are Above , not the things that are upon the Earth” (Col.3:2)

As traditional Catholics, the struggle for survival has become increasingly difficult as we have enter into the new millennium.The state of the Church hasn’t changed significantly in the last 39 years. The increases of the newly ordained Fathers have been offset by the demise of the older Fathers and strong leadership is handicapped because of the overly burdensome work load. Continue reading →

Perfection

The relatively perfection union with God which is possible in this world, consisting in proportional to the degree of charity possessed and exercised: it is therefore compatible with venial sin, but not mortal sin. “The perfection of Christian life consists essentially in charity, primarily in loving God, secondarily in loving ones neighbor.” Continue reading →
