Courageous Clergy

Fr. Sergio Fita reacts to Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes issued by Pope Francis on July 16.

Fr. Fita discusses the need for priests today that are willing to act in union with the heart of Christ and be a sign of contradiction in today's misguided society.

Fr. Mills discusses our culture of death and lies. Please pray for those who God is raising-up to fight for Truth.

Fr. Edward Meeks discusses the Church's teaching on the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. A 2019 Pew Research poll showed 70% of people who identify as Catholic don't believe in the real presence. Fr. Meeks explains why these people cannot call themselves Catholics.

Fr. Goring says as people of God, we need to fight the good fight in spiritual warfare. The battle in which we are engaged today is happening on our watch. We have a duty to fight the 'spirit of the age' which seeks to undermine our Christian values. Here's a link to the book referenced in Fr. Goring's talk.

In his sermon on Pentecost Sunday, Fr. Francis scorches "liberal" Catholics, calling them hypocrites and Pharisees.

Fr. Kirby says that true Christian discipleship is a radical commitment to the ways of Christ. One of the ways we are called to the life of Christ is through our work. Many in today's society are choosing not to work but to rely on government assistance. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that Christians have a duty to work.

In this Memorial Holiday sermon, Fr. James Altman expressed his gratefulness for the freedoms won by our forefathers and the sacrifices they have made. He says that we are duty-bound to drive-out the brood of ungrateful, graceless, godless vipers' that are set on defeating America. Fr. Altman then compares the gospel of the world vs. the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the story of the healing of Peter's mother-in-law.

In the first Sunday after Pentecost which is also the Feast of the Holy Trinity, Fr. Daniel Nolan focuses on what we need to give back to God because of what he has given us. Our life is a part of God’s tapestry – we may not be able to make sense of our life in this current time, but God has a plan.

Fr. Altier discusses Jesus' warning that from our own number there would arise wolves. He provides examples how bishops are promoting false teaching. Jesus prayed that we would be one, but this cannot happen if we are not united in the Truth in Charity.

In today’s homily, Fr. James Altman announced he has been asked to resign his position by his bishop, Bishop Joseph Callahan. As we all know, Fr. Altman has been subject to diabolical persecution for simply doing his job as a shepherd to his flock. Unfortunately, yet not totally unexpected, the time has come for Father to mount a legal defense because his opponents have been marshaled and are moving to cancel him from being pastor at his parish, St. James the Less in La Crosse, Wisconsin. His flock is rising-up to support him just as he has supported his flock for all of these months. Father Altman has shown courage and strength in his commitment to giving us the Truth. In a culture that celebrates deception and sin, Father Altman has been a shining light to tens of thousands of faithful Catholics worldwide. Sadly, as we are all aware, our holy priests are being attacked from within. It is our duty and honor as faithful sheep to help our shepherd to defend himself. If there were only one scripture verse that we could use to describe what Father means to us, it would be this:”No man has greater love than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” John 15:13. DONATE NOW All donations will go to pay for his legal defense and related fees. Should Father be disciplined to the point of being “fired,” additional funds in excess of the amount needed for legal fees will be used for his personal needs like health insurance. If any monies are left over from these expenditures, Father will gratefully donate them to The St. James Handicap Ramp Fund if he successfully retains his position as Pastor, or will donate to those organizations that support life (such as LifeSiteNews) and defend the Catholic Church (such as Church Militant).

Whether you’re Catholic or not, this sermon will be of interest to you. This is how Catholic priests used to speak, before the Vatican teamed up with the globalists in the 1960s. In this Sunday Sermon from South Saint Paul, Father recalls several dire predictions which were delivered in Fatima, Portugal to three shepherd children back in 1917. The predictions were delivered in a public setting by a woman believed to be the Blessed Virgin Mary, although the Catholic bishop at the time was very skeptical and did not encourage it to be taken seriously. In fact, it was only after years of investigation that finally, on October 13, 1930, the Church declared the events at Fatima ‘worthy of belief’. The predictions—which included an urgent call to prayer and fasting, asking God to save the world—were greatly substantiated by a preannounced “Miracle of the Sun”, a massive solar phenomenon witnessed by some 70,000 people and covered extensively in secular newspapers at the time (vintage photographs of the event are available online). The predictions warned of a coming world war, apostasy in the Catholic Church, and the ‘annihilations of nations’. Are the dire predictions of Fatima coming true today? Father cites Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò (former Vatican apostolic nuncio, who has since issued urgent warnings that the Vatican under Pope Francis is in league with the New World Order) as representing a growing number of Catholics who believe the Church has been infiltrated and that hell itself has declared all-out war on the Catholic Church and Christian civilization. Is this, in fact, what is happening today with respect to Davos, Covid and the one world government?

Fr. Lampe reflects upon John's gospel reading in which Jesus prays that His Father will protect his sheep from the Evil One, consecrating them in the Truth. He discusses Jesus' prediction that wolves would come into the flock of Christians and mislead them. God is Truth - if we want to know Him, we must know the Truth. When shepherds preach a message that contradicts the Truth, we must be aware of the threat they pose to the flock.

Fr. Meeks reflects on 1 John chapter 3: "The reason why the world does not know us is it did not know Him." The world refers to the world of sin estranged from God. The world cannot relate to people that live according to the will of God. We are citizens of another Kingdom - to be in this world but not of this world. Those of the world have chosen darkness over light. Approval, affirmation and validation by the world are ultimately undesirable by the Christian. If we are children of God and do not receive disapproval by the world we need to seriously evaluate our faith and life. The Church is called to be counter-cultural. The failure to do so on the part of so many Catholics has contributed significantly to the moral decline of our culture. Far too many Catholics have remained silent as our culture becomes more and more debase. We cannot placate evil - we must show the world there is a better way.

Fr. Altman reflects upon the gospel story of the good shepherd. He discusses the reason why Judas likely betrayed Jesus. The good shepherd's job is to lead us to eternal life. The bad shepherd abandons his sheep during their time of need. He cites examples of bad shepherds, including Cardinal Deardon, Bernadine and Wuerl and thier successors. Let keep the faith no mater what and avoid following Judas.

Fr. Wilton reminds Catholics that we are Church of martyrs. The worst thing in the world is to lose one's soul, not to lose our earthly lives. True Christian witness comes through commitment to exchange our lives in defense to the Truth who is Jesus Christ. Prayer is more important than ever.

Fr. Mark Goring explains that heaven is meant to come down. We were made to have the divine life within each of us. Without heaven dwelling in us, we are incomplete.

Fr. Richard Heilman discusses the story of the stoning of Stephen, the Church's first martyr. Today, it is importance to take a stand for the truth instead of being concerned about politically correctness and refusing to condemn evil.

On Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Altman shared with his parishioners that Jesus used examples of good people and bad people in order to teach his followers right from wrong. Some of the worst offenders in Jesus' day were the clergy of his day. Jesus' divine mercy is available to all who sincerely repent of their sins. But many choose not to choose to seek Jesus gracious gift of mercy because they do no believe they are sinners. This is due, at least in part, to the poor formation by the clergy. Fr. Altman then provided two examples of clergy - one who displays holiness and one who does not. Here's a link to the video of the holy priest who begs for forgiveness. https://youtu.be/rp_LrrYAvUY

On the Sunday after Easter (Low Sunday), Fr. Daniel Nolan reflects on the subject of mercy. God is merciful and wants to relieve us of suffering, but sometimes he allows a lesser form of suffering in order to avoid a greater suffering.

Jesus came to testify to the truth. But today we live in a world where a circle is declared a square. We need to approach His thrown of grace with reverence and beg him for the restoration of His Church.

At Holy Thursday Mass, Fr. Sergio Fita said the words that so many of the faithful have waited to hear. "I feel the need to publicly apologize for the events of the past year. I am a priest, and therefore in a small way, I represent the Church. I represent her to you, and also in this world that God loves so much. When people see me out in the world—in a restaurant, in a supermarket, in a store, at the doctor’s office—they see the Church. When you come to me for advice, you are not looking for my opinion, which is as fallible and fragile as your own. You want to find the guidance and the Truth that God has given to the Church. That is why, aware of this reality, I want to ask your forgiveness this evening, and God’s forgiveness in the name of the Church, for my sins and hers. I ask for forgiveness for having left you without the Eucharist for many weeks last year. Many of you, in the most difficult moments of the pandemic, turned to your father for bread, and we gave you a stone. We failed you by denying you the only Food that could sustain your hope. We abandoned you when we should have been closest to you. For this, at this holy Mass, I ask your forgiveness. The worst thing is that I cannot assure you that such a thing will not happen again, because as far as I know, I have not heard anyone express regret for what happened. What I can promise you is that I will never again be a party to something similar, and that if obedience places me in such a situation again, I will withdraw so as not to be a responsible and guilty party to something that, even today, weighs on my conscience, as the act of which I am most ashamed in my entire life." He went on to say more (this time in Spanish), specifically about the ways in which we have wounded Our Lord’s heart as we relegated Him to “non-essential” status. Thanks to Leila Miller, the translation of these comments is posted below: "I ask forgiveness from Christ in the Eucharist for all that He has had to suffer this past year. In the Eucharist we find a living Heart that is sensitive like ours, more sensitive than ours. He has suffered this year from many of the decisions that have been made. We have made Him the target of innumerable offenses, contempt and disrespect. We have treated Him as if he were not important. We have relegated Him to the category of things that are 'non-essential,' when in reality there is nothing more necessary for us than Jesus in the Eucharist. We have alienated the Eucharist from the people who now turn their backs on us because we have turned our backs on them. Christ has suffered in silence in the way we have treated Him, as if He were something we had to protect ourselves from." God bless Fr. Sergio for having the courage for uttering the words that most bishops have refused to say.

On Palm Sunday, Fr. Altman ponders how Jesus came to Earth as a man, and challenges to remember that we are made in the image and likeness of God. Let our faith be greater than our Godless fear. Fr. Altman tells two stories - one of a puppy and one of a mother and child - to illustrate the effects of the COVID lock down over the past year.

Fr. Goring discusses how many Christian denominations have been split due to differences in sexual ideologies. He then reviews how this thinking is now penetrating the Catholic Church. Many Church leaders are fearful to take a stand to defend traditional Catholic teaching.

Fr. Altman reflects on the warning given to us by our Lady of Fatima and how it is now clear that the world did not respond to her requests. As a result, the Godless errors of Russia have been spread throughout the world.

Fr. Goring discusses the evidence that the Catholic Church has been infiltrated by those who want to change Church teaching on sexual morality.

Fr. James Altman reflects on the 10 Commandments. Whoa to the shepherds who fail to teach these truths! At the time of giving of the 10 Commandments, God said I set before you this day a blessing and a curse. A blessing for those who follow My Commandments and a curse to those who do not. Those who lead others into sin are damned by God.

Father speaks of Passion Sunday and the fact that Our Lord hid Himself from His enemies before the time of His Passion had begun. Father then compares Our Lord's betrayal by His own to what is going on now at the highest levels of the Church. Father points out that homosexual activists actually have a right to be confused by the Vatican's recent correct statement against blessing so-called gay unions when, in fact, Pope Francis and the Vatican have been offering tacit approval of such unions for years. So, what do you think? Is Elton John right to call out Vatican hypocrisy? In any case, it is the Mystical Body of Christ entering into the Passion once again. Let us make no mistake about that.

Fr. Altier explains that God's law is eternal. Jesus stated he came to fulfill the law, not to abolish God's law. But many people believe they know better than God.

Fr. Walz discusses common misconceptions about sin, confession and mercy. He also discusses the clergy's failure to educate the faithful about the 10 commandments.

Fr. Daniel Nolan discusses the importance of prayer. Prayer is a relationship with God – it is not optional in the Christian life leading to holiness.

Fr. Kirby discusses the proposed Equality Act and its dangerous ramifications for people of faith.

Fr. Wilton discusses the COVID pandemic, the Great Reset and the attacks on our religious liberties. Fr. Wilton believes that God will step-in and intercede in today's mayhem.

Fr. James Altman discusses the reality of hell as more and more modern Catholics and Christians alike debate the existence of hell and whether it is populated. From scripture to the visions of Sister Lucia and the children of Fatima, Altman sets the record straight that hell is indeed real. Filmed & produced by filmmaker Rebecca Brannon.

Fr. James Altman reflects on the unchanging nature of truth and the importance of true devotion.

Fr. Daniel Nolan reflects upon the importance of the Sacrament of Confession and prayer to overcome sin. Sin comes in four categories: words, deeds, thoughts and omissions.

Fr. Mark Going offer a reflection on the issue of pro-abortion receiving Holy Communion.

In his homily on Sunday, 07 February, 2021 Rev. William Kosco addresses pro-abortion Catholics. Please help Rev. Kosco build a church at St. Henry Catholic Parish: St. Henry Building Fund24750 W Lower Buckeye RdBuckeye, AZ 85326

Fr. Robert Altier uses Paul's letter to the Hebrews to encourage us to remain faithful to God especially in times of persecution which will no doubt be coming as we face the darkness that is descending upon our nation.

Father Echert speaks of the growing pressure being leveled against him to stop "rocking the boat" from his pulpit. In response, Father speaks of the need to be smart in exposing the evil agenda of the children of darkness. Listen up, Fathers. Here's how it's done. Never back down, and also be wise as serpents and cooing as doves. You must continue to run the race and fight the good fight, no matter what the consequences. Listen up, children of light. It's our job to work with all good priests who have the courage to preach the truth from the pulpit, no matter how hard the children of darkness attempt to crack down on them.

Cardinal Raymond Burke condemned President Joe Biden’s plan to codify Roe V. Wade in federal law during a homily from the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Father reflects upon the fact that the top American elected official who professes to be Catholic supports the sin of abortion. Visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/.

On the third Sunday of ordinary time, Fr. John Bolye offered suggestions on how we can repent as a nation for the sin of abortion.

Fr. Justin Waltz discusses the historical rise of National Social Party in Germany, the rise of abortion in the United States and Catholic politicians who support abortion. He encourages all Catholics to pray for the conversion of Catholic politicians who support abortion and to publicly witness against abortion.

Fr. James Altman of La Crosse, Wisconsin, reflected in a recent homily on two of what the Christian tradition calls the four last things — death, judgment, heaven, and hell.

Abortion has been made hygienic, clean, a mere medical procedure - falsely civilized. When we permit that as a nation, it corrodes our moral sense; it corrodes our understanding of human dignity.

In this Sunday Sermon from South Saint Paul, Father speaks of the various epiphanies of Jesus Christ, and he connects those to what is being “manifested” to us today as God prepares to bring the wayward children of the world back to Him. Father points out how God is manifesting–or “outing”–the Children of Darkness, insisting that the Children of Light must use this dark moment to watch and pray and prepare for the Divine Epiphany. Don’t curse the darkness. Don’t live in fear of men, i.e., Democrats, Biden and Soros, oh my! But do live in fear of God. Do return to the Faith. Do return to your knees. Do return to the good graces of God and get ready for hell on earth. Now is not the time to despair or to give up or to stop fighting. COVID is part of the plan to close the churches and take down the Children of Light. We must make sure that doesn’t happen, and in this sermon Father gives us spiritual direction on how we can become part of the 1% who will survive the coming chastisement and emerge victorious with the Army of God.

Fr. Daniel Nolan discusses the importance of tithing as a means to place our trust in God.

Fr. Robert Altier reflects upon current events and encourages the faithful to be confident - resist the forces driving us to communism.
