Pharisaical vs Publican Liturgies

DVRodriguez2021-09-18T15:06:25-04:00

Today's gospel provides a powerful analogy by which to compare and contrast the Traditional and New Mass. We have a pharisaical liturgy for modern man where man stands with pride before God making it 'all about himself.' We have a publican liturgy for the marginalized man who kneels in recognition of his nothingness and God's greatness, not daring to enter the sacred sanctuary. With the new motu proprio, are we doomed to repeat the terrible errors which overtook the Church in the 60s and have left a loss of faith and devastation in their wake? How could anyone forget the ancient [...]

Critical Theory is Destroing Our Nation

DVRodriguez2021-07-12T10:33:24-04:00

'Critical Theory' is being advanced in every facet of society. Fueled by lies, it compels men to see structural and systemic evils in all of traditional western civilization. It promotes self hate, alienation, and despair. Why? Because it is ultimately a marxist ploy aimed at furthering global revolution to enthrone a new world order based on the errors of Russia. Our country does have its original sins. It failed to recognize God as the source of authority, embraced naturalism and free masonic principles, and did not proclaim the social kingship of Christ. However, we do well to appreciate the good in [...]

The Virus of Cowardice

DVRodriguez2021-05-30T05:52:02-04:00

It is extraordinary what fear has done to us as a people. Despite the tremendous decline in virus related cases, which happened well before the introduction of any vaccine, the fear continues. Masks have become part of everyday life. Segregation is back: the vaccinated are ‘privileged’ but others are treated as ‘lepers.’ We have become silly and weak. We are afraid to die. Why? Because we are filled with a worldly spirit as opposed to the Holy Ghost. Can we ever see in our day anything similar to what martyrs and previous Catholics did for the glory of God? Consider the [...]

Our World is Being Forever Altered

DVRodriguez2021-05-01T22:19:29-04:00

A new social ethics has been created with its own twisted sense of virtue, false commandments, and moral imperatives. That in itself is terrible. Yet even more sickening is how these values—of a materialistic God-denying culture—have become the standard for so many within the Church Militant. The eternal good of the soul, and those things necessary for salvation, are discouraged or cancelled. The opinions of men are believed over the divine word of God. Any wonder why many are leaving the Faith? May God forgive us!

Cause of Joy or Fear

DVRodriguez2021-04-13T08:32:07-04:00

Our Resurrected Lord appeared to His Mother first. The other women at the foot of the Cross approached the tomb despite guards, a sealed tomb, and a heavy stone. Love overcomes all fear and obstacles. They found an angel who proclaimed 'He is Risen.' No greater words have ever been announced in human history. This is a cause for joy which fills all true believers with hope and confidence. How can we be fearful or too anxious about worldly matters knowing Christ is risen? In fact, it is the enemies of Christ and of His Church who should fear such news. [...]

St Sebastian and the Purge

DVRodriguez2021-03-28T06:13:29-04:00

St Sebastian joined the Roman army to assist Christians being persecuted by pagan officials. Yet he so distinguished himself by excellent service to the empire that he became commander of the emperor's personal praetorian guard. He survived one execution, rebuked the most powerful man in the world, and suffered a 'second martyrdom.' We have experienced many disappointments this past year and are filled with concerns. I encourage you to fight for the faith and endure whatever trials may come your way. Be alert! A great purge is in progress. Nevertheless, like St. Sebastian we can live and work in this passing [...]

Te Deum Laudamus

DVRodriguez2021-03-18T05:11:25-04:00

Many people were longing for an end to the year 2020. But perhaps we overestimate just how bad the year was. The Church officially responds to the end of every year by giving thanks to God and providing indulgences. Yes, there were many terrible things, but like the saints and holy Job, let us recognize the Hand of God in disasters and thank Him for it. As Christians we know that all things, save sin, come from the will of God. Let us thank God for 2020. It was a year in which we learned more about ourselves as a people [...]

Danger of Becomming Demoralized

DVRodriguez2020-11-13T21:49:49-05:00

In many ways, demoralization is the greatest enemy to the spiritual life. It is a great threat to the survival of a nation and of the Church Militant. It is one of the devil's greatest weapons against us: to depress us so that we lose all hope and give up. This is also a strategy of leftist marxist revolutionaries. They know that the first stage in collapsing a free society is to demoralize. People ashamed of their own culture won’t defend it when it is attacked. Many Americans—particularly younger ones—have been conditioned to believe that one belief system is as good as [...]

A Diabolical Campaign

DVRodriguez2020-11-13T21:49:50-05:00

Sister Lucia of Fatima: “It is necessary not to let yourself be drawn away by the doctrines of disorientated contradictors… The campaign is diabolical. We need to confront it, without getting into conflicts.” Today revolutionary marxists seek to use a dialectic as a catalyst for socio-political transformation (virus, masks, protests, racism). By dialectic we mean pushing two things to oppose each other - often in violent conflict - so as to work through them and advance one's own gain. Dialectics is the preferred method of the devil. These atheistic 'social organizers' pit people against each other so as to bring about a [...]

Good and Bad Change Agents

DVRodriguez2020-11-13T21:49:50-05:00

The Marxists of our time are 'change agents' who wish to destabilize society so as to transform it. In their view, they are like the alchemists of old who seek a catalyst (social disorder, violence, lies) to transmute these lead-like times into a golden dawn of the New Age. They are sadly misled. They seek to foment disorder, disenchantment, unforgiveness and vengeance to bring about 'good change'. Instead all we get is more hatred, death and destruction! We must avoid becoming wrathful and vengeful. We must be patient and endure, keep a cool head and grace-filled hearts. We may of course defend ourselves, our [...]
