In this episode of The Underground, Michael comments on the U.S. invasion of Venezuela and the over 600 military strikes the Trump Administration ordered

Satan is attacking Traditional Catholicism because that is the best way to attack God today. Fortunately, the preposterous contradictions accepted by Rome can serve a teaching purpose if those with the use of reason can find the courage to speak. Indeed, it seems reasonable to conclude that God is permitting these contradictions so that men of good will can open their eyes and recognize that Satan is attacking Traditional Catholicism because that is the best way to attack God today.

In a 2024 interview the French movie star who died on Sunday lamented the modernisation of the liturgy and expressed hope that Catholic worship would “regain greater respect and importance.” “I would describe myself as a traditionalist Catholic,” she said.

Pope Leo XIV will convene his first Consistory of Cardinals in Rome on January 7-8. Surely, the question of liturgy will be addressed. What might we expect?

When I entered the Catholic Church thirty years ago, I did so with full awareness that my chosen religion was in a state of

Editor’s Note: I dedicate this post to the suffering people of Gaza, especially our brothers and sisters of the ever-shrinking Christian community, who this Christmas are
Now, I ask, why is “It’s a Wonderful Life” not translating to modern Americans? Because our value system has fundamentally changed. Choose any popular film or book written in the past 50 years and you will find some version of this character arch: Their cultures do not allow them full self expression and so they must go beyond the bounds of their society on a journey to find themselves. To follow their heart. It’s a Wonderful Life tells a very different story.

AS THE LIGHT of Christmas penetrates the darkness of our benighted modern world, I want to again devote this last Editor’s Desk of 2025 to

Dinner began once the first star, also referred to as the gwiazdka, appeared, as all present at the table recounted the Star of Bethlehem manifesting Our Lord Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Each of the 12 dishes, symbolizing the 12 apostles of Jesus, was meatless but delectable and aromatic. In particular, I enjoyed passing around the opłatek (thin wafer) with my fellow diners, as well as wishing them God’s blessings, health, peace, and love for the upcoming year.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Richard Moth as the 12th Archbishop of Westminster. The archbishop-elect allowed the Latin Mass to continue in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton despite Traditionis Custodes restrictions. He also allowed and took part in a traditional requiem Mass celebrated earlier this year.

Chinese billionaires are using U.S. surrogacy laws that raise profound ethical, legal, and national security concerns. At its core, the practice reduces motherhood to a transaction and children to assets, undermining the dignity of life and the meaning of family.

The tragic death of Charlie Kirk, last September 10, has in recent months elicited shameful reactions of jubilation from hundreds of radical left-wing activists

The December 2025 verdict sentencing pro-democracy mogul Jimmy Lai to life behind bars due to alleged national security and sedition offences by a kangaroo court in Hong Kong loyal to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is one of the darkest moments in the city’s recent history. Lai’s deep Catholic convictions have proven to be irrepressible even amidst the most repressive mechanisms of CCP power. By remaining steadfast in his Catholic Faith, Lai epitomizes a spiritual freedom that totalitarian forms of governance like the CCP regime find unendurable.

The Vatican recently published a short book about the progress of ecumenical dialogue between Catholics and Methodists, “We Believe in One God”. This recent work of diabolical disorientation ought to be a wake-up call for all serious Catholics to unambiguously denounce the false ecumenical movement that has thrived for sixty years.

Childhood memories contain, among many other things, a few unforgettable animated films. Even now, I sometimes watch such creations with genuine delight. Their naivety, as well as the spontaneity of the characters, makes me smile nostalgically. Yet my greatest joy comes from bringing joy to children and grand-children. Their curious, amazed faces, always ready to burst into laughter, give me the deepest satisfaction.

Michael cites testimony from the Hodgetwins, Tim Pool, Candace Owens, Jimmy Doore, Tucker Carlson, the late Charlie Kirk, Max Blumenthal, and others to show

This newly “discovered” book seems to perpetuate all-too-familiar patterns already detectable in Fernández’s erstwhile contentious writings regarding sexuality and mysticism. I shall spare readers

Still They Come From Saul of Tarsus in the 1st century to China’s Xi Jinping in our 21st century, Our Dear Lord’s True Church

Ever since Thanksgiving, my family’s short drive to Mass has been enlivened by the children’s reactions to the wide variety of Christmas decorations we

It is one thing to omit the Filioque because it is implicit, it is another thing to omit it because it is inconvenient from an ecumenical perspective, considered unnecessary for the profession of true faith, as something to be overlooked or debated.

During his Pontificate, Pope Leo XIV recited the Creed several times in the version preceding the addition of the Filioque. The last occasion occurred

In few places in traditionally pagan Asia has this Marian dogma been celebrated with such ardent fervor as in Macao, China’s “pearl on the palm”, and an area boasting of a unique combination of Portuguese and Chinese influences. This small territory, redolent with centuries of missionary zeal and Marian piety, continues to declare the omnipotence of God and marvels of Divine Grace as exemplified in the person of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Nothing says “global warming” quite like shoveling heavy, wet snow in the wee hours of a subfreezing morning three weeks before the winter solstice officially begins. The snow on this fateful morning was so profuse it was as if planet Earth hit “refresh” on the Ice Age.
