Comedy Classics: Uncle Buck

Comedy Classics: Uncle Buck

Since we’re in the Christmas season, I thought it fitting to give my regular readers a peek behind the VIP curtain. Please enjoy my previously Neopatron exclusive review of the John Hughes classic Uncle Buck. More than 30 years on, Uncle Buck retains its status as a John Hughes comedy classic. Besides showcasing Hughes’ writing and directing chops, this film stands as a celluloid memorial to the…

How to Prove God and Find Him

How to Prove God and Find Him

Helping others clear away intellectual obstacles to faith in God and His Church is every theologian’s solemn obligation. As Fr. Chad Ripperger has said, Hell is so bad that we shouldn’t even wish it on our worst enemy. So it is in a spirit of fraternal charity that I offer the following guide to help Truth seekers find the way to God. Defining God The first obstacle that must be surmounted is…

Discernment of Strange Spirits

Discernment of Strange Spirits

A question pertaining to our previous tale of high strangeness comes from a user on X: My answer: Another user then chimed in to add this chilling personal account: How to tell which kind of spirit from the list above you’re dealing with? Discernment of spirits: By their fruits you will know them. If the apparition leaves you feeling hopeful & consoled, chances are it was a…

In Defense of December 25th

In Defense of December 25th

Advent is back, so the Reddit atheists and pagan LARPers have returned to display their historical and biblical illiteracy. That means it’s time to repost this perennial favorite piece in defense of December 25th so my readers can demolish internet atheists’ cringe “Christmas is Pagan!” memes. December 25 really is the date of Jesus’ birth. Zechariah was in the priestly course of…

FF7: The 1st Unfinished AAA Game?

FF7: The 1st Unfinished AAA Game?

One of the stranger zombie memes still circulating in this year of Our Lord 2023 – a time rife with zombie memes – lazily holds that video games are just toys and gaming a mere hobby. A quick look around the cultural landscape soon reveals that notion as reductive. Vdya has been around for half a century now. Not only is it an industry bigger than Hollywood, it’s become an institution and has long…

Court Disqualifies Trump for 2024

Colorado’s Supreme Court dropped a bombshell ruling yesterday, declaring former President Donald Trump disqualified to appear on the state primary ballot. The decision held that the Civil War-era Disqualification Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment applies to Trump for taking part in an insurrection. Four of the seven justices said that language applied to Trump’s words and deeds on January 6, 2021.

Media Slanders Francis With Fake News

Media Slanders Francis With Fake News

Regime media sparked a new outbreak of Francis Derangement Syndrome on X yesterday. The molehill the lying press hyped into a mountain was a recent document from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. And the shovels they used to pile BS on it were fake news stories alleging that Francis greenlit priests blessing gay unions. The DDF document, Fiducia Supplicans, which Pope Francis signed…

High Strangeness Warehouse

High Strangeness Warehouse

Most of the tales of high strangeness we feature here happened years ago, but this one just surfaced yesterday. A friend of the blog writes: You have to admire that kind of dedication to the job. Also, if you’re the praying sort and you have a mind to, find a spare minute to put in a word with the Man upstairs for the departed cop’s soul. If the account above really was an encounter with…

Cassidy Cleanses the Capitol

Cassidy Cleanses the Capitol

Hat tip to neopatron Bayou Bomber for passing along this post from his blog chronicling the cleansing of Iowa’s state Capitol. For those who hadn’t heard, the Iowa state government gave the Satanic Temple permission to vandalize their capitol building with this monstrosity: Officials and members of the public alike, lulled into moral paralysis by decades of stewing in Modernist propaganda…
