“We got your God, we got your God!” echoes of these words rampage throughout the city of Mamora, an old African town on the Atlantic coast, eight kilometers from the city of Kenitra. Eighty thousand Moors, under King Fez, Muley Ismael, marched into the little Christian town of Mamora and into the city’s small parish[…]
Dr. Patrick McNeely – it is disconcerting writing that, as I knew him in what seems like yesterday as a fresh 18 year-old first year a number of years ago, and how far he has gone! – offers the following the encomium on the value of the liberal arts education and formation he received here[…]
Today’s Saint was Pope from the year 99, succeeding Saint Clement I – when the Apostle John was still alive – until his death in 107. Evaristus, according to tradition, was a Greek, but the son of a Jewish father, Judah, from Bethlehem – making him like Christ at least in lineage. But he also followed his[…]
The demotion of God from public ceremonies has officially begun, with the Canadian Department of National Defense spokesperson Derek Abma’s October 20th directive, that our chaplains can’t use words such as “God”,” Heavenly Father”, and “Prayer” – under the lame pretext of not wanting to displease a few discontented atheists.

On this Tuesday 24 October 2023, we are celebrating a very intriguing person who gave his all for Christ, the Spanish saint St Anthony Mary Claret. The more I allow the Holy Spirit make me delve deeper into his life, the more I realize that perfect dynamism of the Spirit with which his life was[…]
The latest exorcist movie, Exorcist: The Believer (henceforward “The Believer”), hit theaters on Friday, October 6, 2023, close to the 50th anniversary of the classic film The Exorcist, which was directed by William Friedkin, written by William Blatty, and released on December 26, 1973. The Believer has a strong cast that includes actors from the[…]
When I am before the Blessed Sacrament I feel such a lively faith that I can’t describe it. Christ in the Eucharist is almost tangible to me…When it is time for me to leave, I have to tear myself away from His sacred presence. (Saint Anthony Mary Claret)
We may sympathize with the SSPX, for who would not seek to flee the mediocrity, if not outright mayhem, all too frequently found in modern liturgy, and seek the beauty, reverence, flowing chant, silence, and all that comprises our Catholic Tradition?
