The heresies of ''Eastern Orthodoxy''

Image
  Note: This is my first take on apologetics. While I post and mostly admire on historical research, this is my jab after I tried to explain the heresies of ''Orthodoxy'' on Introibo's blog. While I appreciate the Eastern Rites of the church, specifically listening to Eastern chants like the cherubic hymn, and I also have icons like icons of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Kazan, Pochaev and the Christ Pantocrator, and even the Holy Mandylion of Edessa, but unfortunately, most of them are into heresy, like in the case of the 1054 schism. So the ''Orthodox'' are more than just schismatics from 1054 onwards, they deny the Filioque (which everyone knows), papal infallibility, and the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady. The story starts when a man named Bardas was denied Holy communion by the patriarch of Constantinople, St. Ignatius and because of this, Ignatius was deposed, and a fake patriarch named Photius was installed in his place. He then persuaded the...

Crusader of Cagayan - The story of Fray Agustin de San Pedro

Image
                                                          Monument to Fray Agustin in Romblon When I was in Junior High School, before I became a traditionalist, I would always complain to my mother about studying in ''Catholic'' (Novus Ordo) schools because she homeschooled me. For me, I felt that studying in so called Catholic schools would make me more Catholic, and that I will learn many Catholic heroes there. Turns out I was wrong. In fact, I would learn many Catholic heroes at home through websites like Tradition In Action, and that the ''heroes'' promoted in Catholic schools here in Cebu and the Philippines were Marxists and ''human rights defenders'' promoted by the communists in the Philippines. When I saw that Catholic schools were supporting Marxists, I felt guilty of wanting to study there and it reminded me of the Catholic victims ...

Happy Mother's day

  Happy Mother's day to all my readers This is an artwork of the Virgin Mary I made a few days ago. It was copied from an artwork from Little Mermaid II depicting Princess Ariel holding Baby Melody. You can see the Byzantine words MP OV (Mother Of God) and IC XC (Jesus Christ) common in Byzantine icons. You can see the Loreto house in the background and the Sub Tuum Praesidium prayer.

April 28 - Anniversary of the finding of the Santo Nino

Image
  Today, April 28, is the anniversary of the finding of the image of the Santo Nino, one of the most revered images in Filipino Christendom. On April 28, 1565, just as when Legazpi landed in Cebu City in order to claim it for Spain, Juan Camus, a Basque soldier in Legazpi's army found the image in a destroyed hut, which was blown up when Legazpi bombed the area as a result of the hostile natives. He is said to have declared, ''For Holy Mary, I found the Son of God.'' The image was later given to Legazpi and the Augustinian friars in the expedition, a church was later built on the spot where the image was found. The current structure of the Santo Nino church where the image was found was built in 1740, with renovations after World War II and the 1965 400th anniversary of the Santo Nino's founding. On April 28, 1565, the image was solemnly crowned.                                       ...

The Vatican II Apostasy predicted by Catholic Saints

  Antonio Jose Rubi In the bible, in Matthew 24:15 it reads ‘’ When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: He that reads let him understand.’’ The meaning is that the Church of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church will go through a time of tribulation called the ‘’Great Apostasy’’, similar to that of during the Arian Crisis. It is also known as the Mystical Passion. For many years in our churches, we had many churchgoers and attended the Latin Mass, and then the apostasy came, when in 1960s, the evil Vatican II Council broke out which abolished the sacrifice of the mass for a ‘’meal service’’. This is the Apostasy. In fact, many saints predicted this. “[In the last days the] temples of God will be like houses, and there will be overturning of the churches everywhere. The Scriptures will be despised . . . And, on the whole, from among those who profess to be Christians will rise up then false prop...

Original character design of one of my characters

Image
  Hello there. I am taking a hiatus from blogging for a while, especially that there has been no traditionalist priest visiting our house, and I have other works to do, especially the topic I am doing many things aside from praying the rosary. The artwork I am showing you is an artwork of an OC (original character) I made. She is a Filipina character for an upcoming project I am using to make a story set during the Spanish colonial era. The reason why I set most of my stories during the Spanish colonial era (1565 - 1898) is because most Disney Classic stories are set during the past and not modern eras. I grew up with many classic Disney films, and this is what inspired me in my early adulthood to make cartoons that reflect our Traditional Catholic and Filipino heritage. In the photo, my Filipina character is wearing a veil, a white shirt, a striped dress/skirt, a scapular (brown scapular?) with the words ''M'' meaning for Virgin Mary. She is shown holding a rosary. Dis...

Analyzing Disney and Russian cartoons from a Catholic point of view

 By Antonio Rubi Low Sunday, Dominica in Albis April 12, 2026 Dedicated to all the parents who resisted the wokeness and immorality of Disney from their children. As a young boy, growing up in Cebu City, because of the Spanish and American influence here in my country, I grew up with Disney cartoons and the Santo Nino devotion as a toddler. The traditional values of both old Disney and folk Catholic devotion made me inseparable for me, ( remember 500 years in a convent and 50 years in Hollywood) especially Disney was trusted as a safe film company by pre-Vatican II Catholics because it contained no immorality. I really loved Disney hand drawn films ranging from Snow White up to the Renaissance era and of course, the direct to video sequels which we will discuss later. I even prayed to Santo Nino that I will become like Walt Disney when I grew up. Not only that, I grew up with fictional educational stories, historical books and classical music like Mozart and Beethoven.  Howeve...
