John Gregory files an account of his own personal journey to Truth. He hopes that by sharing the obstacles and questions he faced, others will have the courage to get up out of their rut and challenge those who cannot give honest answers. As long as those in the conciliar church continue to be mindless robots blindly obeying whatever they're told, they will not realize they are being greatly deceived and their own salvation in peril. The path John took parallels many others who have discovered what was wrong and got off their duffs because they valued the welfare of their souls. It is a difficult journey, a lonely one, and one that leads inevitably back to the catacombs where the Truths and Traditions remain the same for the truth can never be altered and never has been or will be at the Altars where the True Latin Mass is said. John presents his candid account of The Journey to Truth

We hear a lot about martyrdom which doesn't seem to phase the Modernists today. To the conciliar church it is not about suffering for souls, but rather establishing "peace and justice" in a temporal world that will end. Thus we present Gabriel Garnica's excellent piece first presented in early November of 2005 on martyrdom. In it he outlined the three truths of martyrdom. There are close to 2000 canonized saints and yet the holy martyrs who gave their lives for Christ in the first three centuries number close to 11 million or more. Those martyred for the Faith went straight to Heaven to join the Church Triumphant. They are an inspiration to every Catholic and Gabriel pointed out that we should pay attention because with the situation the way it is today, it could very well not be if we might suffer martyrdom for the Faith, but when and how. Traditional Catholics are well aware of the Dry Martyrdom they undergo in keeping the Faith in the face of abuse, slander and other kinds of mental and even physical persecution. In his artile, Gabriel lists the various kinds of martyrdom and if we are not willing to carry our cross all the way to Calvary, we cannot be His disciples. Gabriel explained in his column The Milk of Martyrdom

On the feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Cyndi Cain reaches ahead sixteen years to 1846 to share the significance of the apparition of Our Lady of LaSalette. The Blessed Mother's Church-approved message has been, for the most part, hidden and dismissed by operatives of the counterfeit church of conciliarism. Cyndi points out how, from early in the 19th Century, Heaven provided all the help necessary to stave off the Great Apostasy and still we didn't listen. From the Miraculous Medal to our Lady's copious tears to the Sun spinning it would seem man has been deaf and dumb to all Heaven has warned. Now we face exactly what our laxity has asked for: Rome has lost the faith and become the seat of the antichrist. Will we continue in the perilous path or turn back to God before it is too late? Have we not learned from the mistakes of the Jews of the Old Testament, even when we have the powerful aid of God's Own Mother to guide us? Our Lady of Perpetual Help is perpetually trying to help. The problem lies with those she's seeking to protect and warn. Cyndi shares why, at LaSalette, Our Lady Wept for a Reason

Because of its vital importance, we bring you this benchmark masterpiece by Griff Ruby so that you may revisit again or read for the first time all he has presented. To so many this piece presents one of the greatest arguments to expose the very point of how, when, what, where, who and especially why modern Rome broke away from Eternal Rome. We have compiled his six-part installments into one compendium that ran as one back in September 2005 so you can see all the components and nuances and undeniable facts that prove Griff's point. The title itself best describes the subterfuge as Griff takes us past the spin right through the skin to the bare bones and then fleshes out what really happened in 1964. Griff lays it all out in his series we've entitled for this issue Down the Yellow Brick Road to Apostasy: The Lumen Gentium Syndrome

In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Fourth Sunday After Pentecost, he speaks of today's Gospel and points to the very difference between those 'caught in Peter's net' - those souls who have been landed for Christ by true 'fishers of men' - and those who refuse to listen to the Word of God and swim in their own current of thought where they create torrents of agitation and upset the schools of men, mucking up the waters so much that the True Barque of Peter, sailing the waters of the world and trolling the inviting 'net of salvation' for all to see the infallible truths of the perennial Magisterium of the Church, has been attacked by the barnacles of false doctrine on the surface while beneath the sharks of compromise and dialogue have gnawed away at the webbing of the net, causing more souls to be loosened from the salvific netting and doomed to the denizens of the deep - bait for lucifer and his legions. Father points out how one who should be scoping the waters to make sure the predators are kept at a safe distance, has instead allowed the prey to weaken the hull and sabotage the nets through the obvious contradictions of conciliar 'popes' and now Benedict XVI's own heresy, which is obvious in light of what the Sacred Scriptures and St. Ambrose teach that those who do not recognize Christ as the Admiral of the true ship are shipwrecked on the sands of dissolution. This refers especially to the Jews who long ago abandoned ship. Now, according to the conciliarists, it is time to compromise Christ and His teachings for the sake of not offending the sensibilities of man. This is outright mutiny and Christ teaches us to wipe the dust from our sandals and leave them to the fishes. Our Lord has also acknowledged that 'many are called, few chosen.' Those who are chosen and remain loyal are those who, through grace and as Jesus Christ intended, have been Caught in Peter's Net

Atila Sinke Guimarăes delves beneath the rhetoric to reveal the facts that the conciliar hierarchy in Italy is a tempest of tenacity and terror in harming souls as bad as America's sorry lot of potentates posing as bishops, albeit even posturing that they are 'Catholic.' We know from Catholic truth that they cannot possibly be by their actions and our Lord's stern remander in St. Luke 17: 2. He shows that it's not just an 'American problem' but a conciliar-wide problem in concert with the bad tree Christ refers to in St. Matthew 7: 15-20 The difference, as Atila points out in his most recent piece on TIA, is the fact that the Italian press and civic authorities can be bought off and do not possess the tenacity of the voracious media in the U.S. Nevertheless, the same criminal acts continue to be committed, raping innocent bodies and souls of their innocence. Woe be unto those who have allowed it from BeneRatz down. Atila lays out the evidence and devastation in his article Priestly Pedophilia Concealed in Italy

To enhance each Sunday's Epistle and Gospel we present this special feature provided by John Gregory with the Haydock Commentary found at the bottom of each page of the Douay-Rheims Bible. We publish it here in conjunction with the Epistle and Gospel for the Sunday Mass, with the cogent comprehensive Catholic Commentary penned by Father George Leo Haydock. Today for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, the theme is those creatures swimming in the sea of fallen human nature in this world and who can only be rescued through the grace of God via those He has sent to reel in souls as fishers of men. St. Peter is the chief fishermen and, despite his temerity, our Lord knew the mettle of the man He tabbed to head His Church on earth and had no compuntion in commanding His disciples to "launch out into the deep" for souls, not fish as we see in Fr. Haydock's cogent comments for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost Haydock Commentary

The Assault on Catholic Tradition continues unabated as the conciliar ecumaniacs bend over backward to placate and justify the sins of Christ's enemies, planting their poison in the malleable youth purposely for a world media event that will give concession to the world, the flesh, and the devil. It will not be the "Way of the Cross" but rather the "Way of the Crossed"...which, in fact will be for those who buy into the watered-down pabulum the "Way of the Cursed"!?!

Dr. Marian Therese Horvat has filed more evidence that nothing is sacred to conciliarists as those fully in charge condone the total deCatholicization of the meaning of the Stations of the Cross with the new Oceania13 stations that will be unveiled in August. As Marian documents this action is not Catholic and causes great scandal. In the ecumaniacal bent BeneRatz continues on there is no consideration for offending Christ and His holy Mother Mary. Instead the Blessed Mother is de-emphasized with omission of the moving meditative 4th station and the 13th, a station that inspired quite possibly the most magnificent masterpiece in marble - Michelangelo's Pieta. How exactly now will the Modernists explain that statue residing in St. Peter's? "Oh, it didn't really happen that way,' they'll rationalize just as they've rationalized everything else in destroying the Faith and souls. Can't have anything that would indiate Catholics believe in importance of sacrifice and the signifiance of miracles. That's another reason the station where Veronia wipes the face of Jesus has been eliminated. What needs to be countermanded is the whole conciliar catastrophe that has produced no good fruit because it is a bad tree governed by men who are against Christ and cause so much scandal. Sadly there aren't enough mill-stones to go around. See Marian's article, Stations of the Cross Changed for WYD-2008

While Palonium-210 is deadly, it can only kill the body. Just as our Lord warned, beware of he who can kill both the body and the soul. You might call the one that can kill the soul the most dangerous venom out there. It's a viral strain of the lethal toxin: Conciliarium-666 carried by the deadly contagion VaticanusSecundus contra Catholicos.

We wanted to feature the latest article by Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey for it addresses the key problem today, the real crux of the issue that no one is willing to confront within conciliar circles. After all, what exactly can ever be good about poison? Absolutely nothing! Tom brings this home only too well in treating the causes and effects of mammon's revenge with the deadly dose of Polonoium-210 that eliminated a former KGB agent Colonel Alexander Litvenko, no doubt ordered by another former KGB head Vladimir Putin. Our Lady specifically zeroed in on Russia in 1917. Since then Russia's errors have run amok in the world and, as many are realizing, are so prevalent in the highest echelons of the conciliar church. Recall Roncalli's clandestine Pact of Metz just prior to the opening of Vatican II in 1962, which essentially sold out to the Soviet hammer and sickle and caused the martyrdom of Catholics behind the iron curtain, well over triple the number who died at Auschwitz. Then you had Cardinal Konig who sided with the Reds against Cardinal Mindzenty and betrayed so many Catholics in the Eastern Bloc. And, of course, who can forget that the seditious subterfuge continued with solid suspicions that Karol Wojtyla was a Communist Secret agent himself? Makes sense when you dissect his history and the devastation he wrought in perpetuating Vatican II's heretical reforms. Regardless, Tom re-emphasizes over and over a simple fact that St. Augustine brought home and Pope Leo XIII reminded all that with one drop of poison anyone can be infected and fall not only from grace, but fall into the abyss without full repentance. You'll note how many conciliarist hierarchs have repented over the last forty-plus years. Right. Practically nada. Typical behavior of one who, like Litvinenko, lived by deceit and died by deceit traits only two obvious in the two men at the top of the Kremlin and conciliar church today, respectively (not to be confused with respectfully). Tom ties it all in with his article No Cure for Polonium-210

To make a tree grow straight and tall, it needs a lot of wind. Well, you asked for it because we're in for a storm to end all storms. You know the signs, the very ones Christ identified in St. Matthew 24. Are you ready? Let's hope and pray your roots are firmly planted on firm foundation, deeply embedded in the rocksolid truths and traditions of holy Mother Church. The operation of error engulfs more every day, satan has satiated consciences. The lukewarm continue to languish in ever greater numbers, seemingly oblivious to what is so obvious on the near horizon. It's coming faster than you may think as events, not to mention consequences, spiral out of control, knocking common sense, decency and goodness off its proverbial axis. That wobble you've felt from Rome to Beijing to Washington D.C. to San Francisco to Sydney and all points in between, should shake you into hying yourself to the nearest traditional priest to cleanse your soul and light your lamp before the Bridegroom cometh and all else is plunged into darkness. The times we are in and the even more ominous period we are entering are not to be taken lightly. Editor Michael Cain identifies the more obvious signs in his commentary Preparing for the Perfect Storm

   Yep, we've corralled the problems with the computer. Despite all the refurbishments, labor hours and costs put into it by the technicians, they finally informed us there is only so much that can be done with the Windows 98 configuration in these times when the horses have been let out of the barn, so to speak, and few software programs support the "maverick" Win98SE systems any more. Nevertheless, the old "mule" has served us well and we're not ready to put her out to pasture just yet, so we'll continue to plod along with old reliable as best we can. She's been washed, all systems groomed and defragged, pumped up with extra RAM added to her stable. So far in test runs out of the gate her gait is encouraging, no thanks to Bill Gates. It might take some time to get the bridle broken in and the reins back in form and much longer to sort through the thousands upon thousands of e-mails that clogged the roundup and delayed our progress. We also have to answer the hundreds of viable e-mails that are backlogged as a result of the delays. So please be patient, pardners, and enjoy daily publication once again as The Daily Catholic continues to focus on seriously herding souls for our Lord and our Lady and holy Mother Church.Michael Cain, editor

Any gardner worth their salt knows you must tend to the garden with care in order to harvest good fruit and take great care not to bruise the fruit. So also with souls in praying for the grace to ripen their hearts and utilizing the best way of discernment in separating the true wheat from the conciliar chaff in order to save as many souls as possible from the fire.

Griff Ruby files an interesting scenario of the proper way to intiate encouragement toward those presbyters who want to do right by holy Mother Church but have been hindered by lack of courage or intimidation or ignorance of what Catholicism truly is. Griff files a few theoretical letters that are plausible in planting the seeds of hope. Griff points out in these speculative correspondences how it is so vital to sift the wheat from the chaff amongst traditional-leaning 'priests' ordained in the Novus Ordo rite, that the proper traditional chain of command be observed in order for true shepherds to discern whether these 'priests', who would express an interest, are sincere or Trojan Horses ready to sabotage. Careful scrutiny and trust in the Holy Ghost will ferret out the "Twinkie-toes" if the proper impetus is given in doing all we can to help rescue souls from the counterfeit church of conciliarism. Griff poses the possibilities in his piece, A Grave Risk

Since there have been no good fruits - nada, none, zilch, zero - from the counterfeit church of conciliarism, why should we expect that to change. A bad fruit is a bad fruit, sour and poisonous at that. Be forewarned.

In a follow-up to his article last week High Church, Low Church, Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey weighs in on why Catholics should not be shocked or surprised when state after state, diocese after diocese, the conciliar 'bishops' speak out of both sides of the mouth and say nothing in truly trying to protect the unborn babies or working toward legislation to outlaw abortion. Yet, if you really hear what these bozos are saying it speaks volumes as to their total abandonment of the Catholic Faith. He points out, "Despite the well-meaning Catholics today to do what many of us did in the past, all of the complaints made to the conciliarists in Rome about the 'bad' 'bishops' in this or that country, including the United States of America, will come to just as much now as in the past: nothing. Conciliarism is the problem, not 'bad' bishops, who have been appointed by the conciliar 'popes' and who have been maintained in their positions despite exceeding even the very flexible boundaries of 'acceptable' beliefs its counterfeit church sanctions 'officially.' There is no more gain to be had by fighting the 'bad' bishops by this or that petition drive than there is to fight the 'bad' politicians by various naturalistic means as each of these 'bad' categories of people are the logical fruit of a world which denies the Social Reign of Christ the King and Mary our Immaculate Queen." Tom advises that we forego such fruitless efforts and turn to prayer as the answer, focuing all our attention on Christ and take our place next to Mary at the foot of the Cross where we should be this Lent and always as Tom shares in his somewhat brief article, Care Not for the Rights of Christ the King, Care Not for the Babies

The way of the Cross runs both ways. Either we are wending our way towards Calvary or the pull of the world, the flesh and the devil draws us down and out of the protective shadow of the Cross.

Gabriel Garnica returns with a timely short article as we near Passion Week. He points out how the Via Crucis goes both ways, it leads up to Calvary and it leads down away from Calvary. He asks which direction we will take not only as Lent intensifies, but in this time when persecution increases against those who will not compromise to the world. He reminds us that one can't hold a mirror and a cross in the same hand. If you choose the mirror you are looking at yourself and regretting what you could be; if you are looking at the Cross, you are looking at others and Christ's love is reflecting back to you and through you, often glowing greater when you suffer for Him. We can look at the Cross as either a burden and a curse that curtails our spiritual growth, or we can view it and cling to it as an invaluable life raft we cannot do without. That is the lesson learned in his column, The Triple Value of Suffering

The Lasting Impressions tatooed on the minds of millions is that the counterfeit church of conciliarism is Catholic because it calls itself Catholic. If one truly knows their Faith they will realize instantly that it can't possibly be Catholic!

Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey illustrates how scandal has weighed down so many souls over the past 50 years. Not that that many Catholics today are scandalized but that's because the great majority, thanks to the manifesto of Vatican II, don't know their Faith. And one who does not know his Faith is a weak link and when you have weak links, well you know the results. Therefore no one in their right mind wants weak links, and yet, that seems like all there is in the counterfeit church of conciliarism today thanks to the papolotry of dumbed down souls who think it's progress when a man they consider their pope does something no Catholic in their right mind would ever think of doing under pain of mortal sin and even excommunication. But those two things are forgotten intentionally today (unless targeting Traditional Catholics, especially sedevacantist Catholics or, as Gerry Matatics calls "Consistent Catholics") so that fewer see the scandal of kissing the Koran, lobbying for lifting the excommunication of Martin Luther, telling the Jews they don't have to worry about redemption, relegating the Church as a servant to the satanic UN, encouraging universal salvation, recognizing enemies of Christ as worthy and false religions as having good fruit. You know the list and you know what has been perpetrated on the faithful over the last half century is not Catholic. The problem is the vast majority do not realize it. They do not realize they are aiding and abetting the enemy whenever they fail to fully defend the Sacred Deposit of Faith. Tom explains in his piece, Lasting Impressions

Wouldn't it be refreshing if the media, specifically the BBC, announced "and now for something completely different" and then told the truth?!!

Gabriel Garnica was hoping to be able to devote time to the sacredness of Holy Week until he learned of another vile rotomontade of revisionism that tries to justify the killing of Christ. Well that was too much for Gabriel to keep silent on as he writes a brief refutation of these temerarious attempts to further distort the Gospels. Rather than turning back to the Truth in this holiest of seasons, the media is notoriously known for turning their back on the Truth. Nay, they go even further by turning to the devil to concoct the most vicious lies possible against our Lord and the Sacred Deposit of the Faith. With all the other outrages, sacrileges and indifference that permeate the media and the clueless couch potatoes this time of year, the latest blasphemy comes from the BBC, long a liberal bastion of tolerance and diversity for all things not Catholic. When it comes to the beliefs of the only Faith Jesus Christ established, it's open season. The BBC is famous for producing the crazed group known as Monty Python who have squeezed morality out of the equation. Wouldn't it be refreshing if, for once, writers, producers and networks told the truth? But that would entirely be something completely different. Gabriel won't let them get away with this nonsense as he files his column, Turning their back on the Truth
