THE CHURCH OF PAUL VI AND OF JOHN PAUL IIWhat Pope Paul VI intended by the title 'Mother of the Church' imposed on Our Blessed Lady is other than what you think. more CRITIQUE OF A STUDY PURPORTING TO EVIDENCE REINCARNATIONThis paper addresses a study prepared in 2016 by an American medico offering evidence in support of the reincarnation, in a boy born in 1998, of an American pilot killed in the Pacific towards the end of the Second World War. more FOR LOVE OF THE CHURCHBelloc described Christ's Church as "the one thing in this world which is different from all other". Catholic poet, Francis Thompson, added a gloss to this title in a poem found among his effects after he died in 1907. more ARCHBISHOP VIGANÒ’S EXCOMMUNICATIONThis is a study of the events leading to the purported excommunication of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on July 5th, 2024. Along with the immense power of intellect Almighty God gave us the facility of distinction. He expects us to exercise it. We do that by not jumping to conclusions, not assuming that because Archbishop Viganò is excommunicated, or allegedly excommunicated, everything he says may be ignored. At the heart of the business is the radical division among the Catholic faithful brought about by the immense imposture of the Second Vatican Council. more AT LAST, A BISHOP CONDEMNS VATICAN IIOn the vigil of the Feast of Sts Peter & Paul, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano published a criticism of Pope Francis in the course of which he asserted that he regards the Second Vatican Council as completely devoid of magisterial authority. This is our comment on the Archbishop's Statement. more FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THE HEAVENLY BODY, ARISTOTLE'S AETHER, ST THOMAS'S 'FIRST ALTERING BODY'It is now some six months since publication of How The Universe Operates by Austin Macauley Publishers. A few further considerations on its thesis have occurred to the author. more THE STATEMENT ON POPE FRANCISThis is a criticism of the ground on which the recent Statement on Pope Francis was based. more THE DUPLICITY OF CREATION SCIENCECreation science has infiltrated the Catholic faithful via Protestant converts who have not thrown off all the characteristics of the heresy they have allegedly abandoned. It is grounded in intellectual confusion and in lies. more EXPLAINING THE VOYAGER DISASTERThe collision of the destroyer HMAS Voyager with the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne occurred just over sixty years ago. The writer has long been exasperated over the failure of two Royal Commissions, the first in 1964, the second in 1967, to identify the cause of the collision when, if justice had been accorded the evidence of Lieutenant Commander (Retired) Peter Cabban, there was sufficient to establish its cause on the balance of probabilities and, arguably, beyond a reasonable doubt. That evidence was published in full in 2005 in Cabban’s book, written with David Salter, Breaking Ranks. The present paper seeks to spell out the implications. more Review of How

In 1993 the late Fr Paul Mankowski published an incisive criticism of the dissent to Humanae Vitae. That dissent did not arise spontaneously. It was precipitated by the scandal committed by the bishops of Vatican II in dissenting from the Church's teaching which Council had concluded less than three years prior. more

Today marks the 120th anniversary of the death of Pope Leo XIII and the twentieth anniversary of this website. It is appropriate for us to provide a report on those years of operation. Regrettably things have not got better but worse not only for the Catholic faithful but for society generally. Despite the chaos that marks the current governance of God's Holy Church as a result of the abdication of Catholic in favour of Modernist principle on the part of Pope and bishops, the Holy Spirit is still running the show. We take the opportunity to renew our faith in Him and His providence confident that His permission of the evils will result in the much greater good that He will elicit from them when the time is appropriate. more
The meaning of 'heaven' is hidden in our English translation of its usage in the original texts which are rendered in Latin by St Jerome. It seems to have two different meanings. more
The thinkers who followed, some 50 to 100 years after the event, the revolt of German and English Catholics against God and His Holy Church, sought to defend its inchoate atheism. Today we are suffering the appalling effects of the irrationality in which they engaged. That those effects are worse than they might have been we owe to the systematic abrogation of their responsibilities by the bishops of the Catholic Church. more
Did the priest responsible for the 'big bang' thesis reflect the teachings of God's Holy Church when he offered his suggestion on the beginnings of the universe? more
We publish here a further extract from historian Henry Sire’s Phoenix from the Ashes (Kettering OH, Angelico Press, 2015, pp. 93-100) to aid the Catholic faithful in their defence of the faith against the Protestant and atheistic impositions.
Galileo was a man whom, in today’s argot, we would describe as possessed of attitude, i.e., truculence or pig-headedness. He was a good scientist but had a higher opinion of himself and his views than reality allowed. He was also dishonest. Had it not been discovered, long after the events that saw him marginalised by the Catholic Church, that his opinion was close to the truth uncovered by Sir Isaac Newton 55 years later, and that his condemnation could conveniently be used as a stick with which to beat the Church, his intemperateness might have attracted the obloquy it deserved. Sire identifies the issues in this way: “A clash between impudent folly and pompous autocracy has… been misrepresented as a conflict between science and religion”. more

THE POMPOUS ATHEISTThis ebook addresses the endemic modern problem of atheism—belief in no-God. Atheists assert that they are above superstition, the ‘superstition’ of religious belief, but it is not true. Not only are they believers, they are believers without the slightest evidence of that in which they believe. They are the real exponents of ‘religious liberty’ for they insist on the freedom to believe there is no God. Their every action involves acceptance of causation. But, obsessed with an idea, they choose to deny causations’s reality when it comes to their own essence and existence. In this series of essays we have endeavoured to make it plain just how stupid is the atheistic thesis.It is reasonable to believe in God, no matter how confused one’s belief may be. The fundamental issues are these: 1. I did not bring myself into existence; 2. I do not keep myself in existence; 3. in this world of reality I am one of the privileged beings for not only do I know singular things, like brute animals, but I know their very natures; 4. nothing exists without an adequate cause—and that includes me! Moreover, 5. the one who caused me must be living and intellectual, as I am living and intellectual—but an immensely greater being. It is hoped that the presentation of these essays will assist the reader in resisting the temptation to embrace the atheistic virus. more |
