  • Catholicism Has the Answer

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui dilecto Filio tuo universorum Rege, omnia instaurare voluisti: concede propitius; ut cunctae familiae gentium, peccati vulnere disgregatae, eius suavissimo subdantur imperio: Qui tecum vivit et regnat. in unitáte Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.


-Collect of the Solemnity of Christ the King (1962 Missal)

Deus, qui per Immaculatam Virginis conceptionem dignum Filio tuo habitaculum praeparasti: quaesumus; ut qui ex morte eiusdem Filii tui praevisa, eam ab omni labe praeservasti, nos quoque mundos eius intercessione ad te pervenire concedas. Per eundem Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

-Collect of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1962 Missal)

Through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

The Holy See

The Holy See
"And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven." - Matthew 16:18-19

The Traditional Latin Mass

The Traditional Latin Mass
"Introibo ad altare Dei. Ad deum qui laetificat juventutem meam..."

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter
The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is a Clerical Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical right, that is, a community of Roman Catholic priests who do not take religious vows, but who work together for a common mission in the world. The mission of the Fraternity is two-fold: first, the formation and sanctification of priests in the cadre of the traditional liturgy of the Roman rite, and secondly, the pastoral deployment of the priests in the service of the Church.

Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles

Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles
The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles is a traditional monastic community of women who desire to imitate the Blessed Virgin Mary in the giving of herself to God to fulfill His Will, especially in her role of assistance by prayer and work to the Apostles, first priests of the Catholic Church.

Carmelite Monks

Carmelite Monks
In a solitary monastery under the Rocky Mountains in northern Wyoming, the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming seek to perpetuate the charism of the Blessed Virgin Mary, living the Marian life as prescribed by the primitive Carmelite Rule and the ancient monastic observance. This new monastery of contemplative monks lives a life of faithful orthodoxy to the Magisterium, where joy and peace abound in a manly, agrarian way of life. The Carmelite Monks wear the Holy Habit faithfully, which includes the brown Carmelite scapular and white mantle of our Lady of Mount Carmel. These young Roman Catholic monks live a full, reverent, and traditional Carmelite liturgical life, with the Divine Office and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being prayed in Latin with Gregorian Chant.

Carmelite Nuns

Carmelite Nuns
Strictly enclosed behind the walls of their convents the Nuns of the Carmels of Jesus Mary and Joseph in Valparaiso, NE and their daughter house in Elysburg, PA are the only Carmelite Nuns in the world using the Carmelite Rite, and they are flourishing. They sing the Divine Office each day entirely in Latin, and have the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite offered for them each day. They truly live the Carmelite vocation as it was lived by Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face.

Benedictine Monks

Benedictine Monks
Our Lady of the Annunciation of Clear Creek is a monastic foundation of the French Abbey Notre Dame de Fontgombault, itself a foundation of Saint Pierre de Solesmes.

Redemptorists Monks

Redemptorists Monks
After 700 years, the Transalpine Redemptorist Congregation has brought Catholicism back to the site of the most northerly early Christian monastery ever found. Situated on Papa Stronsay, an island in Orkney, north of Scotland, Papa Stronsay means 'Priest Island of Stronsay' in the Old Norse language. From this holy desert, the Fathers and Brothers work for the salvation of the most abandoned souls by their prayers and their apostolic labours.

Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate

Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate
Like the Seraphic Father St. Francis, the Franciscans of the Immaculate strive to be perfectly conformed to the poor, humble, crucified Jesus through a life of charity, supernatural charity and poverty. They are totally consecrated to the Immaculate Virgin after the recent example offered by St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe. The Franciscans of the Immaculate were founded by the two Franciscan friars, Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli and Fr. Gabriel Maria Pellettieri. Together they outlined a form of life for the friars, sisters and the laity after the example of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe, giving the fullest expression to the Marian dimension of St. Francis' ideal and Rule. The Franciscans of the Immaculate was established by Pope John Paul II in 1990 as a diocesan institute. The Institute was erected as a pontifical institute of religious life by His Holiness John Paul II in January 1, 1998, Solemnity of the Mother of God

The Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem

The Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem
The Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem (CRNJ) is a clerical institute of consecrated life whose members (known as canons) pursue the proper apostolic ends of their religious society. By pronouncing the ancient vows of Stability, Conversion of Life and Obedience and living a common life according to the specific form of the institute, each member consciously strives towards the perfection of charity. The Divine Liturgy in its traditional Latin, in the august Eucharistic Sacrifice, Divine Office and other rites and ceremonies of the Church, constitute the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is also the fount from which all her powers flow. For this reason the worthy celebration of the Church’s worship of the Most Holy Trinity is at the heart of the spirituality and work of the CRNJ. The effectiveness of personal sanctification and apostolic works will stem from each member’s faithful participation in the offering of the Church’s liturgy particularly in their own daily celebration of the Sacrifice of Redemption. The CRNJ further places itself under the protection of the Glorious and Blessed Virgin Mary in the mystery of her Annunciation. The institute as a whole and each of its members profess fidelity to the Roman Pontiff, the successor of Blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Vicar of Christ, head of the whole Church, the Father and Doctor of all Christians.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui: Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et iubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

Heaven, Purgartoy, Earth, and Hell

Heaven, Purgartoy, Earth, and Hell
O Glorious St. Joseph, behold I choose thee today for my special patron in life and at the hour of my death. Preserve and increase in me the spirit of prayer and fervor in the service of God. Remove far from me every kind of sin; obtain for me that my death may not come upon me unawares, but that I may have time to confess my sins sacramentally and to bewail them with a most perfect understanding and a most sincere and perfect contrition, in order that I may breathe forth my soul into the hands of Jesus and Mary. Amen
