Hi Everyone!

I’m a bit behind on updating the website. Here are some updates.

Homiletic & Pastoral Review:

As we continue to experience the present malaise within the Church, a lot of people are asking questions. Among those questions is, “how are seminarians being formed as priests?” I address this question, and others, in my essay The Wheat and the Tares: A Reflection upon Contemporary Priestly Formation.

I would like to thank HPR for publishing this article.

Reason & Theology Appearances:

Will the Consecration of Pope Francis Be Valid? (March 17, 2022)

On March 15, 2022, the Holy Father announced that he would consecrate Russia and Ukraine. Immediately, questions arose concerning this consecration in relation to Our Lady of Fátima’s request for the consecration of Russia. Michael Lofton and I discuss these matters.

Russia Consecration Live Stream Party! (March 25, 2022)

On March 25, 2022, Pope Francis held a penance service wherein he consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Join Jeremiah Bannister, R&T’s “riverrun” and myself with live commentary as the service took place.

Answering Objections to the Consecration of Russia | Kevin Symonds (April 5, 2022)

A famous argument against the March 25, 1984 consecration is an article that appeared in the Spanish publication Sol de Fátima (1985). This article attributes a statement to Sr. Lúcia that the 1984 consecration did not fulfill Our Lady’s request for the consecration of Russia. Did she, however, make such a statement? Join me as I discuss with Michael Lofton some questions surrounding the 1985 Sol de Fátima article.

Thoughts on Priestly Formation w/ Kevin Symonds (June 5, 2022)

Join me as I talk with Michael Lofton about my article The Wheat and the Tares. Stories that did not make it into the article, but which make the text come alive, are discussed.

Missing 3rd Secret of Fatima; Rome Hosting the Antichrist? (July 22, 2022)

Join me and Michael Lofton as we talk about a recent interview of John Henry Westen and Xavier Ayres about apparitions. Specific topics for discussion are the famous “fourth secret” of Fátima, and the claim that “Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of Antichrist” attributed to Our Lady of LaSalette.

Pius XII, Fatima and the Destruction of the Liturgy w/ Kevin Symonds (July 31, 2022)

Pope Ven. Pius XII, as Cardinal Pacelli, is long-said to have remarked about being concerned about the confidences of Our Lady to Sr. Lúcia, and to have said that it was suicide for the Church to make certain changes. Did he actually make such remarks? Join me, Michael Lofton and Dom from The Logos Project as we discuss this claim.

Examining the Propaganda of AA-1025 w/Kevin Symonds (August 4, 2022)

After the Pius XII video above, some of R&T’s viewers requested a video on the famous book AA-1025: Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle by Marie Carré. This book tells a story about an alleged Communist infiltrator of the Catholic Church. Is it a true story? There’s been some confusion about the book. Join me and Michael Lofton as we discuss the book.

The Truth About Pope Leo XIII, the Archangel Michael and Satan (August 5, 2022)

Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) is long-thought to have received a vision that compelled him to compose the famous Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel that is recited after Low Mass. Did he, in fact, have a vision? If so, what was it and does it have any bearing upon our time? Join Michael Lofton and myself as we talk about these matters.
