Reclaiming a Hijacked Priesthood: 
Ordained in the modern Catholic Church in 2008, Michael Oswalt soon came to see that not only were his orders invalid, but that his Church was not truly the Catholic Church. He came to Mount St. Michael in January of 2010 to prepare to be ordained according to the traditional Catholic rite. Having received the Diaconate earlier this spring, Fr. Oswalt was ordained to the priesthood on June 29, 2011, at Mount St. Michael.
View Fr. Oswalt’s online interview (2009) His letter to the clergy of the diocese of Rockford, a superb explanation of why the modern Church is not truly the Catholic Church, was published in Issue No. 138 of The Reign of Mary and may also be read at this link.

° Assessment of the Assisi Meetings, 1986 and 2011
The Celebration of an Abomination
by Most Rev. Mark A. Pivarunas, CMRI
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the interfaith prayer service convoked by John Paul II. In that 1986 meeting, the leaders of non-Catholic Churches and non-Christian religions were invited to pray for world peace.....
° Modern Psychology and the Rupture of Society
Psychology’s Attempt to Usurp True Religion
by Sr. Marie Janae, CMRI
Society seems to be disintegrating or, perhaps more accurately, racing down the path to total destruction. Over the past 50-60 years, especially in the United States, something has happened to our utopia....
° Are You With the Pope?
Benedict XVI Belongs to a New Religion
by Rev. Fr. Francisco Radecki, CMRI
People often ask: “Are you with the pope?” We are with the popes, all 260 of them. Name any pope from St. Peter to Pope Pius XII, and they will claim us as their faithful children. If there were a legitimate pope right now, we would definitely be with him!...
° “I Put You in This Place”
by Rev. Fr. Johannes Heyne
“Lord, give me strength to change what I can change, patience to accept what I cannot change, and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.” It is true we have to be eager to change things for the better. But we also have to be able to accept the things we cannot change. For this, it is important that we try to see those things as coming from God and arranged by Him.....
° Hernando Cortes, Conquistador of Christ
Part XII: The Final Conquest
by Rev. Fr. Brendan Hughes, CMRI
Over 60 soldiers along with 1,200 Indians and eight horses were killed or captured in the failed assault, the toll of Cortes’ company alone being 35 or 40 soldiers and 1,000 Indians. In attacking the companies of Pedro de Alvarado and Gonzalo de Sandoval the enemy savagely slung at them several heads of Cortes’ soldiers....
° Adoremus in Aeternum
A Study of the Traditional Latin Mass: Reception of Holy Communion
by Rev. Fr. Dominic Radecki, CMRI
Before the Communion of the faithful, the priest takes his Communion. This is the third and last principal part of the Mass, and, therefore, essentially completes it. In order for you to fulfill your moral obligation as a Catholic to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation, you must be present for all three principal parts of the Mass....”
° In Season—Out of Season
“And Who is My Neighbor?”
A Sermon Preached by Rev. Fr. Benedict Hughes, CMRI,
on the 12th Sunday after Pentecost
My dear friends in Christ, in today’s Gospel, we have a wonderful story often referred to as the parable of the Good Samaritan. This has to do with charity, and how a man traveling between Jerusalem and Jericho was accosted by thieves who beat him and robbed him and left him half dead....

By the crib wherein reposing, With His eyes in slumber closing, Lay serene her Infant-boy...
° Servus Mariae
The Confraternity of Mary Immaculate Queen
by Rev. Fr. Dominic Radecki, CMRI
We are surrounded by a society that is “directly opposed to Christian morality: duty is proclaimed an empty word; conscience [is] mere prejudice; divorce, a right; adultery, a weakness readily excused; purity and fidelity are ridiculed; vice is exalted and virtue scorned”...
° Respice Stellam Voca Mariam
The Qualities of True Devotion to Mary
by Rev. Fr. Brendan Hughes, CMRI
St. Louis Marie de Montfort explains how more than in previous times, it is essential that we understand the qualities of true devotion to our Blessed Mother, for today there are misunderstandings and totally false notions regarding devotion in her honor....
