“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Received much praise from my boss lately with one request: “Do better!” My students have enjoyed the classes and I had I high renewal rate.
My parish held its men’s Cornerstone retreat a couple of weeks ago. While the group was smaller than in previous years, it went very well, and was very energetic. We had our first reunion last night. The Holy Spirit moved among us, and led us to share how meaningful Cornerstone has been to renewing our spiritual lives. Cornerstone is building a solid group of men and women who will be serving the needs of our parish for years to come.
My wife and I are expecting another child later this year as we recently found out she is pregnant last week. It was a long two-year struggle for her to conceive again. Thanks to the Rosary and the intercession of our Blessed Mother for the gift of life.
Our once-a-month 5:30 PM Traditional Latin Mass (tolerated but not promoted by the parish whose church we use) has gone from a low Mass to an occasional Missa Cantata! We got the local Catholic radio station to run a promotion during the week before the Mass and the diocese newspaper put the Mass on their calendar page!
We had a few more people at Mass and we are hoping that word of mouth will spread the news. And we are finally getting some people attending from the parish where the church is located!
One day closer to Our Lady’s Triumph. She can’t delay forever.
Father, has the good news you alluded to earlier been released yet. That was kind of unfair….. [Yes.
And, no, it wasn’t!]
My good news is that I’m headed to confession in a couple hours….
My wife and I are expecting our second baby.
Baby Fulton is due May 28th!
Our lovely infant grandson seems finally well and his baptism is scheduled for Sunday.
World Book Day today and a 50% discount at Liverpool University Press (using code: WBD50) for all sorts of interesting-looking translations – Liber Ponificalis, less-well-known works of the Venerable Bede, etc., etc. – may, I hope, be good news for all sorts of you good people: I just saw a notice about it and have not tried to find ‘the fine print’, before passing on the word!
We are expecting! :)
Made a pilgrimage to see the opening of Holy Doors with family and friends; we all went to reconciliation. It was a wonderful day.
We have a wedding coming up in our family! Our son and his fiancee will be getting married on August 13, 2016!
Our parish is welcoming a little over 50 people into the Church this Easter.
