Mary our Mother, Today the People of God celebrate, they venerate you, the Immaculate, ever preserved from the stain of sin. Accept the homage I offer you in the name of the Church in Rome and throughout the world. Knowing that you, our Mother, are totally free from sin is a consolation to...
With each passing week, it seems the Tim Ballard scandal continues to grow. In the last few months, breaking stories drop with regularity — a new lawsuit, another alleged abuse victim comes forward, new details emerge about his alleged organizational mismanagement, or yet another almost-unbelievable story is shared that further exposes the culture...
When I began writing this column, it was the Solemnity of Christ the King; an awesome reminder that while kingdoms and kings of all sorts, up and down the centuries, come and go, our Lord Jesus Christ is King of the universe. And his kingdom will have no end! And the King, as we...
We sat down as a family and reflected on Advent Stations found in the current copy of Magnificat Advent Companion. I’d love to paint a picture of a scene out of a Hallmark movie, but that’s not how things go around here. One child was blowing his nose on a floor pillow, insisting...
Pedro Gabriel has done it again! Hot on the heels of his award-winning 2022 book, The Orthodoxy of Amoris Laetitia, Pedro has just released his latest book, Heresy Disguised as Tradition (En Route Books & Media). In this book, Pedro shows the parallels between contemporary traditionalist ideology and many of the heretical movements...
A reflection on the scripture readings of December 3, 2023, the First Sunday of Advent. The audio, when available, will be posted here. The last few years have felt like a marathon.

Like all the fomenters of heresy and schism, they make false boast of having kept the ancient Catholic faith while they are overturning the principal foundation of the Faith and of Catholic doctrine. They certainly recognize in Scripture and Tradition the source of Divine Revelation, but they refuse to listen to the ever-living...
November 2023 was a dispiriting month for the reactionary wing of the US Catholic Church. In the span of a few weeks, following closely on the heels of October’s historic Synodal Assembly, three prominent American figures — Bishop Joseph Strickland, Michael Voris, and Cardinal Raymond Burke — were ousted from platforms they used...
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918 an armistice was declared, effectively ending one of the worst conflicts in history – World War I. But had the Central Powers and the opposing Allied Powers taken to heart Pope Benedict XV’s call for peace at the beginning...
The question most Catholics have in response to the decision of Pope Francis to remove the Vatican privileges of Cardinal Raymond Burke will not be, “why did he do this?” but “what on earth took him so long?” The Pope is an astonishingly patient man, and he loves to give people second chances....

“It is the American way, as we know, to establish traditions quickly, where popular instinct and sentiment pronounce them sound.” So declares Orson Wells in his introduction to the dramatic presentation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” This may be “the American way,” but it is hardly the way of the Catholic Church....
