Honestly speaking, I have always felt that too much attention has been given to the alleged concealment of a part of the Secret of Fatima, compared with the significance of the images contemplated inwardly by the visionaries. Even if, for the sake of argument, we can accept such possibilities, nevertheless only someone with ecclesiastical authority—most likely, a future pope—could make relevant…

Once again the great feast of St. Michael is upon us. Now, as with everything else in our Faith, there is a human, cultural, social, and political element to devotion to the great Archangel. At first this might seem counterintuitive – after all, many a Saint has lived and/or died for a political cause linked to the Faith. But if the Kingship of Christ has had many a human defender…

Without any doubt, many of you have read the statement above in the title of my article dozens of times. It is usually claimed that this sentence belongs to the secret of the La Salette apparition (1846). It is circulated by numerous websites of various origins, including some that claim to uphold Catholic Tradition. The Fatima Center also provides an English translation of the entire text from…

As summer yields to autumn in the lands where the Roman liturgical year took shape, the Church turns our attention toward harvest and reckoning. The shortening days give a certain urgency to the Epistle of the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost. St. Paul thanks God for the grace bestowed on the Corinthians, even as they await “the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor 1:7). That revealing…

Editor’s note: Mr. K. Symonds has published a companion video explanation to this article here. One of the earliest presentations brought forth by Sister Lucy Truth (SLT) in favor of the Fake Lúcia Hypothesis (FLH) was the handwriting of Sr. Lúcia. The organization published between January and August of 2019 various declarations of Bart Baggett, a handwriting analyst from California.[1]…

The year of Jesus Christ’s reign 2026 is a great year for these United States of America. In June the Bishops consecrated this nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the President “join[ed] in prayer,” and now we have one of the most beloved bishops in our whole history beatified – “America’s Apostle,” Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.[1] For these graces we thank our patroness, Our Lady of the…

On September 23, 1926, the Pantheon in Rome—its vast dome casting a perfect circle of light through the oculus—welcomed a new voice: the Tamburini pipe organ no. 99. One hundred years later, that voice still resonates. More than a machine, this instrument became a bridge between centuries, uniting technical mastery with a space steeped in sacred symbolism. In 609, the Pantheon “was dedicated to…

On June 24, 2026, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) published a profession of faith for the stated purpose of enlightening souls in the face of modern errors but also (as seems evident) to provide a rationale for their intended acts of episcopal consecration, which took place without papal mandate on July 1, 2026. As a consequence of these consecrations, the bishops involved were declared…

Soldiers deserve the best sacramental support the Church can give—including the Mass of the Ages. David Sonnier’s “Rites and Wrongs” shows how the Army has denied it to them, and explains how it can and should be easily restored to them. Imagine a soldier—decorated, diligent, obedient—who has come to believe what the Church believes, and asks only for the form of worship handed down by his…

Three hundred and fifty years ago, on September 21, 1676, after a conclave lasting nearly fifty days, Benedetto Odescalchi, a native of Como in northern Italy, was elected Pope, taking the name Innocent XI. The solemnity of his coronation on October 4 in the Vatican Basilica was a moment of extraordinary musical splendor. As Stefano Gizzi notes,[1] during the foot-kissing and the presentation…

September was the old “seventh month,” and at Rome the harvest stood in the background of the Church’s prayer. The fields are being gathered in, the year bends toward its close, and the liturgy begins to take on those autumnal notes which will become more insistent as the Sundays advance: judgment, perseverance, the end of the age, the gathering of God’s people. The 17th Sunday after Pentecost…
