The Profession of Faith from the SSPX has 154 points, including this on Vatican II ---
“I acknowledge in particular that modern errors represent a dreadful threat to the whole of the Catholic order, & that their penetration into the life of the Church, under the influence of the Second Vatican Council & the post-conciliar reforms, has provoked a crisis of exceptional gravity:
agnosticism attacks the knowledge of God;
naturalism attacks the necessity of grace;
subjectivism attacks the supernatural motive of faith;
relativism attacks the immutability of dogma;
situation ethics attacks the divine law;
liberalism attacks the Social Kingship of Christ;
false ecumenism attacks the uniqueness of the Church;
collegiality & synodality attack the divine constitution of the Church in her hierarchy;
liturgical anthropocentrism attacks the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.”

Protestants: “Ya know, there were several BAD POPES!”
Do you honestly think we Catholics don’t know that? Our faith is in Christ the Savior. Popes can and do disappoint. Some popes are great. Some aren't. All Catholics acknowledge this.
The world is slightly less satanic now…
Puerto Rico has taken a historic step by recognizing unborn children as legal persons from conception. Senate Bill 504, signed into law by Governor Jenniffer González Colón, ensures that unborn children have legal protections, including insurance coverage, inheritance rights, and representation in certain circumstances.
This landmark law passed both legislative chambers with strong support and took effect immediately. Pro-life organizations celebrate this as a major affirmation of the inherent dignity and value of every human life.
May this remind us that every life, from its very beginning, is precious to God and worthy of protection.
Mel Gibson: "Every morning I get up and I say the same prayer: ‘Lord, please help me to see the truth about myself."
"I believe the Gospels are verifiable history… Every single one of those guys died rather than deny their belief."
The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic.
A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone.
What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God.
So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected.
And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs.
When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away.
This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God.
"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)
*Jesus is the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas!

The Prayer That Has Never Failed
THE MEMORARE
It's the most powerful Marian prayer in history....
For nearly 1000 years,Catholics have turned to this prayer in their moments of need.
The Memorare is a prayer so powerful that saints,popes,and countless faithful have witnessed miracles after praying it :
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Memorare is rooted in Church Traditions. Prayed by St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St.Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Francis de Sales.
Many saints have turned to this prayer in life or death moments, and miracles followed instant intercession.
Blessed Pope Pius IX said,
"This prayer has never failed me.
Do you pray the Memorare everyday ?
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever. Amen.

Ep. 47 | Why the Queen's Chaplain Left Anglicanism and Became Catholic (Dr. Gavin Ashenden)
In this episode, we interview Dr. @gavinashenden (former chaplain to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) on his conversion from Anglicanism to the Catholic Faith. He describes in vivid detail his discovery of the reality of Christ in the Eucharist, spiritual warfare against the Catholic Church, and realizing that much of what he had been told throughout his life about both the Church and protestantism was propaganda.
