The Devil at Work in the Church

DVRodriguez2024-08-28T19:56:11-04:00

Breaking with all Tradition, Scripture, Natural Law, and God's Authority, Francis has allowed the "blessing" of couples engaged in unnatural vice. This confusion is dividing the Church and shaking the faith of many. It is a terrible abuse. Two great problems we suffer under today are the abuse by fathers - including spiritual fathers - and a misunderstanding of marriage. Yet it is not hard for us to know the truth. We simply rely on what the Church has always and everywhere taught to all (universality, antiquity and consensus). As the Church endures this terrible passion, remain close to Our Blessed [...]

Participate at Mass with Faith

DVRodriguez2024-07-09T13:29:53-04:00

Man's chief duty is to participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. it is not enough for one to simply be present. How many times are we distracted and daydreaming? Rather we must assist with earnestness and concentration, uniting ourselves with Christ the High Priest. Note, what is most essential to our participation is not perceptible to our senses. Rather, it is of the Faith. If the majority of us don't participate well, then what will happen to our families and our Church? "Eternal Father, permit to offer Thee the Heart of my Savior Jesus Christ."

Four Elements of Our Fundamental Duty

DVRodriguez2024-07-07T13:05:59-04:00

Pope Pius XII teaches that man's fundamental duty is to orient his person and life towards God. Man does this by [1] accepting all divinely revealed truths, [2] obeying the law of God and His Church, [3] rendering God right worship, [4] and centering all his acts and aspirations on God. These four are carried out perfectly by the Sacred Heart. Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a compendium of our holy religion. It comprises a devotion of love, reparation and imitation. Attaining this fundamental duty is hard. Hence, we must pray to the Holy Ghost for His assistance.

A Bishop Opposes Error

DVRodriguez2024-02-01T16:19:29-05:00

In the Epiphany mysteries, Jesus manifests His glory. He reveals the Truth about Himself. Yet man is always tempted to believe in Jesus how he sees fit. No! Focus on the Lord and do not engage in your own projects or ecclesial ideologies (this phrase is a recent gaslighting effort by Francis). Too many Catholics live their marriage based on their own ideas, preferences, and projects. No! Base it upon Christ's teachings and example. Bishops must faithfully transmit the teachings which come from Christ and the Apostles. Let us be grateful that a Peruvian Bishop has resisted Francis' grave error regarding [...]

Be a Master of Your Craft

DVRodriguez2023-11-26T19:38:16-05:00

Here are three means to progress and excel in the spiritual life. [1] An ability to identify defects. We usually don't want to hear any critique of ourselves. Yet seeing our [minor] defects, which aren't easy to self detect, is the only way to make progress. [2] Humility in the spirit of collaboration. Every criticism has an element of truth, so be hungry for criticism (not paranoid or angry). [3] Love what you do and study your craft. Be obsessed with being Catholic. If you love your state in life, then at every moment you will try to learn how to [...]

The Brown Scapular and Holy Mass

DVRodriguez2023-08-29T06:48:39-04:00

In today's Gospel, Our Lord speaks directly about what one must do to enter Heaven. It is not enough to call on Him in speech. Rather, the chief disposition of our heart must be to do the will of His Father. Holy Mass has the purpose of helping us become more committed to doing God's will by uniting ourselves to Christ. These are the same goals of the Brown Scapular. This is where its power to save comes from: the unlimited intercessory power of Our Lady, the omnipotent Blood of Christ, and the Father's perfect divine will.

The Supreme Dignity of Man

DVRodriguez2023-08-27T12:25:32-04:00

What will help us most, in our spiritual and material well-being, is true and faithful participation in the Holy Sacfrice of the Mass. This applies to every single person. The best thing we can do for our neighbor is help him carry out this chief duty, which is also his supreme dignity. Strive to have the dispositions Jesus had when He offered Himself. (See Pius XII's Mediator Dei, No, 80-81.) Deny yourself, do penance, detest sin, offer reparation, and die a mystical death: to your will, you desires, and your sense of self-importance.

What Is a Woman?

DVRodriguez2023-08-20T12:57:28-04:00

The world is being plagued by a more wicked and perverse society than Sodom of old. There is no logic upon which it can be based. Its confusion is an effect of communism, which attacks womanhood. A woman is a copy of the great original, the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is the indispensable helpmate of man; his complement not replacement. She is his beloved and treasured heart. She is captivatingly mysterious and intuitive. She strives for modesty and self-effacement. She suffers the same wounds as her man, but inwardly and quietly. She saves by supporing her man and by bearing and [...]

The Chief Duty of Man

DVRodriguez2023-08-20T11:56:06-04:00

To participate in the Eucharistic Sacrifice is man's chief duty and supreme dignity. And not in an inert and negligent fashion, but with such earnestness and concentration as to have a profound union with Christ the High Priest. Take this teaching to heart! Because most Catholics today are clueless about it. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the Church is enduring such a terrible crisis. The first step is to know this, the next is to believe it. The Traditional Latin Mass shows this in many ways, the New Mass does not. Devotion to the Sacred Heart and [...]

What Is a Man?

DVRodriguez2023-08-13T09:53:00-04:00

A man is essentially a copy of Jesus Christ. The more a man conforms to his original, the more truly a man he becomes. The devil, father of all lies, seeks to pervert the truth, telling us the exemplar is an ape or single cell amoeba. (How crazy is that!) Man is a thinker. He loves truth. He uses reason and proper moderation to bring order. He remains calm and modest. He is just and religious, giving each man his due and his first fruits to God. Man looks for obstacles to overcome and rewards to gain. He needs someone to [...]
