That Christianity gives joy and breadth is also a thread that runs through my whole life. Ultimately someone who is always only in opposition could not endure life at all.

Site: Padre PeregrinoAs you know, for the first seven years of my priesthood, I offered the new sacraments. The last seven years I have offered exclusively the old sacraments. But now I'm switching from a 1962 TLM Missal to a 1939 TLM Missal. This has little to do with the papacy or obedience or rebellion or political [...]

Site: Padre PeregrinoWhat do you do if you come across a dying person? Should you prioritize getting a paramedic or a priest? What can a lay person do for a dying person who is baptized or unbaptized? What should a priest do for a dying person who is baptized or unbaptized? The traditional answers are relatively simple.

Site: Padre PeregrinoThese days, St. Catherine of Siena is frequently quoted in her love of the pope of her day (as well she should be.) However, she is less frequently quoted in what she had to say about the antipope of her day. There have been 20-40 antipopes in history, so a discussion on this topic is [...]

Site: Padre PeregrinoLast year I wrote an article titled, Why Do Rad-Trads Keep “Guessing” Everything Right? In it, I explained it was not a coincidence that traditional Catholics were accurate on everything from resisting "the covid vaccine" to seeing the current Church crisis accurately. Why is this? It wasn't because my Google-button worked better than the priests [...]

Site: Padre PeregrinoIn the more righteous days of Christendom, Catholic countries did indeed reserve the death penalty for men or women who had killed children.

Site: Padre PeregrinoLast week in Florida, a woman demanded Holy Communion from a 66 year old priest named Fr. Rodriguez.

Site: Padre PeregrinoJust as in the days of Christ, it was the scribes and Pharisees (obsessed with the law instead of the Gospel) who crucified Christ.

Site: Padre PeregrinoMany good Catholics today have now become acutely aware of sexual sins (the Sixth and Ninth Commandment) as well as the First Commandment (partly due to public violations of this like the worship of the Pachamama statue near the Vatican a few years ago.)

Site: Padre PeregrinoIn Archaeologism Part I, I demonstrated that Popes from 1786 to 1947 condemned the heretics projecting Protestant notions of liturgy onto the early Church under pretext of "archeology" or "Church history." This modernist fad is also called "antiquarianism." Realize first that Pope Pius XII basically warned the faithful not to believe the Holy Spirit was [...]

Site: Padre PeregrinoBefore looking at the Synod of Pistoia, let's define Archaeologism (also called antiquarianism.) Unam Sanctam defines it: Archaeologism is not so much a heresy as a fad, a certain approach to Catholic liturgy and practice. Its distinguishing characteristic is an excessive value placed on those Catholic practices which came earlier in historical-chronological succession. For the [...]
