Here is What the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will Look Like

John-Henry Westen examines Our Lady of Fatima’s promise that “in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph” and explores what that triumph could look like in the world and in the Church. Drawing on the Fatima message and Sister Lucia’s memoirs, John-Henry explains the connection between the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart, Russia’s conversion, and the promised period of peace. He argues that the triumph will also involve a widespread revival of devotion to the Immaculate Heart through consecration and reparation, ultimately leading to a renewed recognition of Christ’s social kingship. Looking to Portugal, Austria, and Spain as […]

“Do It Yourself Religion”: How Flannery O’Connor Predicted the Catholic Crisis

Flannery O’Connor described Southern Protestantism as a “do-it-yourself religion, and Frank Wright argues that the same mentality has now infected the Catholic Church. Drawing on O’Connor’s comments about Wise Blood, he contends that abandoning authoritative doctrine leaves people without a reliable means of correcting religious error. When everyone becomes their own pope, no one can be corrected. Wright applies this critique to Pope Leo XIV’s September 25 speech in Paris, arguing that the pope’s treatment of liberty, equality, fraternity, and religious freedom conflicts with traditional Catholic teaching. He directs viewers to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s September 28 LifeSiteNews article, which […]

Pope Leo XIV speaks of unity, inclusion, and love. But traditional Catholics are being locked out of churches, denied access to relics, and excluded from pilgrimages. This Faith & Reason examines the inconsistency between calls for inclusion and the treatment of the SSPX and faithful attached to the Traditional Latin Mass, including the denial of access to relics during a pilgrimage in Ontario. The discussion turns to President Trump’s decision to limit certain media organizations’ access to the White House, contrasted with a guest’s account of a Catholic journalist allegedly threatened with exclusion from Vatican events under Pope Francis. The […]

Frank Wright: If You Want to Understand This Crisis, Start Here

Frank Wright shares a reading list for viewers interested in Catholicism, civilization, philosophy, political thought, metaphysics, and literature. He begins with Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation as an introduction to the civilization shaped by Christianity, and Epictetus’ Discourses as an accessible guide to thinking and personal conduct. He recommends Félix Sardà y Salvany’s Liberalism Is a Sin and Herbert Butterfield’s The Whig Interpretation of History to understand liberalism, revolutionary ideas, and the modern belief in inevitable historical progress. Wright places particular emphasis on a collected edition of Pope Leo XIII’s Catholic social teaching, recommending it for questions ranging from political economy and […]

Fr. Altman at Sheen Beatification: “The Laity Must Save the Church Now”

Father James Altman delivered a forceful address at the gathering celebrating Bishop Fulton Sheen’s beatification, urging Catholics to defend traditional Church teaching and take responsibility for the faith’s future. Reflecting on the Church’s response to COVID-19, Altman criticized bishops for closing churches while other businesses remained open—and recalled an incident in which Catholics were reportedly denied entry to a church for a rosary march. The faithful, he insists, must not remain silent in the face of failures among Church leaders. Altman emphasizes catechesis, devotion to the Holy Eucharist, the Holy Face of Jesus, and embracing the Cross. Drawing on Sheen’s […]

Viganò: Leo XIV promotes ‘exact opposite of the Magisterium’

Archbishop Viganò says Pope Leo XIV’s praise of the Enlightenment, religious liberty, and the UN’s human rights declaration in France contradicts previous popes, calling it the exact opposite of the Magisterium. Leo also joined an interreligious gathering, signing a commitment to dialogue and fraternity, contrasting with traditional teaching that peace comes through conversion and the sovereignty of Christ. Meanwhile, 200 pilgrims, including families and children, were denied entry to the Martyrs’ Shrine in Ontario by the Archdiocese of Toronto and celebrated Mass in a nearby field. LifeSiteNews is also placing billboards in New York City for St. Michael’s feast day […]
