May 20, 2022 by frbillnicholas The Catholic Tradition of Ecumenical Councils — More than Just Vatican II Not many Christians, including Catholics, know that there is a rich history in the Catholic Church of the Ecumenical Council. For many, the only Council they are aware of is Vatican II (and maybe, by conclusion, Vatican I), but little is known about the dynamic and charism of the Council in the history and function of the Catholic Church.Fr. Bill discusses this history of the Councils, what they were, when they were held, what they discussed, their impact on the Catholic Faith and Tradition, and how the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) fits into that rich Catholic Tradition.
November 5, 2021 by frbillnicholas THE END OF THE CHURCH – The Worst Crisis Ever! Many Catholics are critical of Pope Francis and other Bishops for not calling out Catholic politicians who are in favor of abortion. Some have called Pope Francis a “false Pope”, an “anti-Pope” and even “Satan’s Pope”. Some say that the Church is in a crisis from which it may never recover.Fr. Bill talks about another crisis from Church history and puts the current issues into the proper perspective of the Church’s checkered, but triumphant past.
