Sanctity alone makes us what our divine vocation demands, men crucified to the world and to whom the world has been crucified, men walking in newness of life who, in the words of St. Paul, show themselves as ministers of God in labors, in vigils, in fasting, in chastity, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, [...]

With an energized Islam growing in our midsts, the last thing we in the West would want is an emasculated manhood, right? Ladies, you have two choices: You can have either the Benign Patriarchy of Christianity of your Grand-Mothers Age, or the Tyrannical Misogyny of Islam of your Grand-Daughters Age (God forbid it happening!). The second fastest growing false [...]

**BELOW PAINTING MIGHT BE CONSTRUED AS RISQUE BY SOME!**

The below painting summarizes what it is like for the average single (or married for that matter) man living in NYC in the Summer (or any other season for that matter). Gosh ladies, we already know God did his best work with the female of our species, but do you have [...]

If the Lord has permitted you to have some trial, bear it willingly and with gratitude, considering that it has happened for your good and that perhaps you well deserved it. If the Lord bestows upon you any kind of prosperity, thank him humbly and see that you become no worse for it, either though [...]

Since everybody seemed to love the Princess Grace pic (especially the Ladies), I might as well give you the rest, huh? Well here you go:

As Vicar of Him Who in a decisive hour pronounced before the highest earthly authority of that day, the great words: “For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hearest My voice” (Saint John xviii. [...]

Sick and tired of trying to find suitable toys for Christmas? Look no further! Now your kids could play “Pope” (in traditional regalia no less!). Imagine: you are sitting in the living room, your boy sitting on floor playing with his Transformer toys, and you hear from the lad, “Optimus Prime, for not repenting of your most [...]

During the Latin Mass you had the missal if you wanted to follow it in English. It was almost mystical. It gave you an awareness of heaven, of the awesome humility of God who manifests Himself in the guise of bread and wine. The love that He had for us, His desire to remain with [...]

The tonsure itself is not an ordination properly so called, nor a true order. It is rather a simple ascription of a person to the Divine service in such things as are common to all clerics. Historically the tonsure was not in use in the primitive Church during the age of persecution. Even later, St. [...]

We rejoice greatly that this solemn event falls, according to the design of God’s providence, during this Holy Year, so that we are able, while the great Jubilee is being observed, to adorn the brow of God’s Virgin Mother with this brilliant gem, and to leave a monument more enduring than bronze of our own [...]

That’s right, *, that’s it. Get used to it Barry. I know I just usually put “Churchy” things on this blog, but the whole Barry Bonds thing is making me sick. The guy is a cheater, overt and boldface. We are now supposed to sit here, smile, and make-believe otherwise. The idea is that the [...]

The society which Christ founded can be attacked, but not defeated, for she draws her strength from God, not from man. And yet, there is no doubt that she will be harassed through the centuries by persecutions, by contradictions, by calumnies — as was the lot long ago of her Divine Founder — for He [...]
