Crisis in the Church

Guardians of Tradition or Traitors

DVRodriguez2022-10-06T10:10:25-04:00

Divide and conquer is an age old strategy. It is frequently used in politics and now we see it in our beloved Church. The goal is to make groups disagree and fight with one another so they don't unite against the real enemy. A fictional reality is propagandized to vilify part of the group, a 'crusade' is launched against them, and people are forced to choose. As the president seeks to divide a political party, so certain hierarchs strive to divide traditional Catholics from the general Catholic population and against each other. Yet to advance forward, under God's providence, one must [...]

New Mass Amtrak and Coke

DVRodriguez2022-09-06T09:28:27-04:00

Why do we not learn from two colossal business failures (new coke and Amtrak)? The New Mass is not a "change" rooted in any apostolic tradition but an utterly new man-made rite of a committee's innovation. Despite hierarchical subsidies and elimination of 'competition,' churches with the New Mass continue emptying. The New Mass does not interest the youth or generate vocations. The Traditional Mass is the most significant area of growth in the Church, yet ecclesial leaders are now seeking to contain and eliminate it. We must persevere in the True Faith!

Our Response Must Be True Catholic Obedience

DVRodriguez2022-02-05T08:06:25-05:00

How are we to respond to Epiphany - to this great manifestation of Jesus' divinity? We must [1] believe, [2] adore and [3] obey. This is the example of Mary and Joseph, the angels, the shepherds and the Three Kings. Obedience is first given to God. The star represents Faith, the light that comes from God. Then obedience is given to the human authorities God places on earth. This priority must be respected. Human authority can be abused; yet the virtue of obedience exists to conform our will to God's holy will.

Holy Mother Church Amidst the Storms

DVRodriguez2022-01-31T07:35:57-05:00

The Church has many names, each giving insight into her mysteries. Perhaps the most beautiful is 'Holy Mother.' She gives us spiritual life, nourishes us, heals us, and strengthens us. If we make it to Heaven, it WILL be because of Her. Therefore we should truly love her! Never lose sight that she is the perfect and immaculate Bride of Christ despite the sinfulness of her members. No matter how terrible the storm, Christ will preserve and save her. Have confidence too in the powerful intercession of Our Lady and St. Joseph!

Judas Has Plenty of Company This Christmas

DVRodriguez2022-01-13T15:17:01-05:00

There is much confusion over what it means to love Jesus. It is not primarily about feelings, thoughts, or scriptural interpretation. The Apostle of Love teaches us the essentials. To love Jesus we must keep His commandments and we must love our neighbor (emphasis on the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy). Ask Baby Jesus for the grace to love Him above everything. Far too many Catholics are willing to sacrifice Christ to maintain friendships and family ties. Even our Shepherds - those who should love Jesus most - are betraying Him. Given that belief in Christ means belief in the [...]

American Kulaks and Catholic Kulaks

DVRodriguez2022-01-02T12:23:05-05:00

Communist Soviets vilified and destroyed the Kulaks. They made them the scapegoats for everything going wrong in the Bolshevik Revolution. History is now being repeated. In the American landscape, the powers that be vilify all those who yearn for what made this country great. These 'American Kulaks' and must be destroyed. Similarly, in the ecclesial landscape, modernists who hold power vilify all Catholics who love the Faith and Tradition. These 'Catholic Kulaks' are made scapegoats for the failed spirit of Vatican II. Reasoning with the revolutionaries' hatred and suicidal tendencies is not possible. This only ends with the destruction of the [...]

Mustard Seed of Tradition

DVRodriguez2021-11-20T08:55:39-05:00

The mustard seed can be likened to the Catholic Church, the True Faith, and the Ancient Mass. The Church had the humblest origins, yet has spread to cover the world. Today's Church elite consider the Latin Mass insignificant and wish to stamp out anything not reformed by modernism. False doctrines spread easily, because men readily embrace teachings of worldly power, lusts of the flesh, or a path of self-justified ease. Yet no matter how small the seed, the tree is to be judged by its fruits. The New Mass has much rotten fruit. Have confidence in Gamaliel's principle: "If this work [...]

Our Revenge Will Be In the Laugther of Our Children

DVRodriguez2021-11-20T07:31:35-05:00

There is a great parallel between the Holy Cross of Christ and the Traditional Latin Mass. Intimately connected to Christ's Sacrifice, both have been attacked, lost, and recovered. A great theft was perpetrated against Catholics as the True Mass was wrongfully suppressed. Even worse, the injustice was committed by our own pastors. After a brief respite, it is now under terrible attack again. Why? [1] Many churchmen hate tradition. [2] The pride and selectivity of traditionalists. Do we embrace all tradition - including penance, prayer, modesty, humility? [3] God has allowed it. Perhaps, that we may properly appreciate His Sacrifice. So, [...]

Mourn With Our Lady of LaSalette

DVRodriguez2021-09-11T06:39:04-04:00

God always prepares us, never blindsiding His faithful ones. He uses types and prefigurements. Consider how Our Lord raising the Widow of Naim's son is a type. He also provides us with prophecy; though we must be careful in our interpretation. In 1846 at LaSalette, Our Lady of Sorrows foretold much of what was to come - in those days, in our time, and at the end of time. Other prophecies from approved apparitions of Our Lady and saints help us better understand her terrible message. When one is forewarned, one can be better prepared and the suffering is lessened. We [...]

The Debacle

DVRodriguez2021-09-02T07:44:20-04:00

The United States' exit from Afghanistan has been an utter debacle. It has resulted in humiliation, chaos, and death. We must re-evaulate our entire strategy. We should return to the traditions of our past. Yet in our modern day, the ruling class of elites never suffer consequences for the destruction resulting from their erroneous ideologies. The same holds true within the Church! For decades now, we have had to deal with decisions of the hierarchy that has devastated the Church. Nevertheless, Church leaders now intensify their attack on Tradition, which is the area of the Church showing the most vitality.
