The testimony of Christ’s Catholic Church in history is overwhelming, and it’s an amazing story I want protestants to know, embrace, and be proud of.

Because if they want it to be, it can be THEIR story again too.

This would make God’s enemies quake.

“So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.”

Luke 14:33

You read the Bible and you're like 'How could God destroy an entire civilization in judgment?'

And then you see this and you get it

The issue of what is ultimately true in religious matters is frequently skipped by modern “conservatism.”

It is thus no surprise it has conserved nothing.

It’s also incoherent for Christians to insist on moral absolutes while advocating dogmatic relativism, aka protestantism.

Landed in Houston to sponsor a mentor of mine in his mid-60s into the Church tomorrow, on the Feast of Our Lord’s Ascension.

Please pray for him. After a lifetime not being Catholic, this is a huge step, but one he became convicted he must take.

It will be a great day.

CHRISTENDOM TYPOLOGICALLY PREFIGURED IN ANCIENT ISRAEL

What was originally for one nation became the model for all nations. The type of the old was fulfilled in the new.

THE ACTUAL “NEW WORLD ORDER”

Prior to the Incarnation, the vast majority of the world was enslaved by idolatry at the behest of rulers initiated into pagan mysteries, & allied with demonic powers. Satan was loose, & ruled the kingdoms of the world, Israel excepted (some of the…

Two of the most radical things young men can do in 2024:

—Be united to a woman in the sacrament of matrimony in the Catholic Church, for life, and open to however many children God sends.

—Consecrate their virginity/celibacy to God so they can serve Him with all the more focus.

Becoming Catholic totally re-framed the Gospel for me.

Before, it was primarily about Jesus coming to save me because I could never obey the commandments.

Now, I realize it is primarily about Jesus coming to save me by transforming me through His grace and power, and thereby…

One of the many errors to spawn from protestantism is a prioritization of nation over Christendom, state over THE Church, temporal power over THE spiritual power.

No deal. There is one truth, and one truth only. Christ is not an adulterer, teaching one thing to some Christians,…

St. Augustine never wavered in his affirmation that there is punishment after death for those with temporal guilt from 'daily' (venial) sins and that these souls are helped by the sacrifice of the mass and other prayers for the dead.

One of the more eye-opening things for me was reading St. Augustine’s ‘Confessions.’ When I was a Calvinist, I’d been told that he was, essentially, the forefather of the Reformed faith, if you will.

And yet in the book he writes about offering the sacrifice of the Mass for his…

ST. ATHANASIUS: THE INCARNATION IS BRINGING PAGANISM AND THE DECEITS OF DEMONS TO AN END

Whether by replacing the pagan sacrifices with the sacrifice of the Eucharist, or venerating saints and their relics, or the authority of the priesthood of Christ going directly up against…

Man, Grok is on a roll!

Welcome Home brother Mike Pantile!

Growing up protestant, the Bible verses that made me question the protestant doctrine of “faith alone” most were:

—Christ’s Parables;

—Every mention of the Day of Judgment, in which works/deeds are the basis of the verdict; and

—St. Paul’s warnings to Christians about sin.
