The Christian Life and Keeping The Door Firmly Closed on Evil Spirits

October 10, 2018 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

The Devil's Tactics

There are many paths or portals through which evil spirits are enabled to gain personal access to our lives in extraordinary ways.

Pope Paul VI and The Prophetic Witness of Humanae Vitae

July 23, 2018 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Pope Paul VI and Humanae Vitae

Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae, promulgated three years after the close of the Second Vatican Council, rapidly became at the time of its release the most intensely mocked and reviled Church document in centuries, perhaps amassing more derision than any other solemn teaching of the Church in the entire history of Christendom.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ: The Eucharist is the Life-Blood of the Christian

June 6, 2018 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Eucharist

The Eucharist is often referred to as the “source and summit of the Church.” In receiving this “sacrament of sacraments,” our Savior comes not simply to meet us but into us, fills us with himself, and sanctifies us with his own supernatural, divine life in order to transform us into his likeness. In consuming the Eucharist, “the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 47).

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
