  • Kolbe Report 7-11-20

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! The liturgical readings for the Easter season normally recall the experiences of the first Catholic communities, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.  In the account of Cornelius the Centurion in Acts Chapter 10, St. Luke tells us that Cornelius was told by an angel to summon St. Peter to instruct him.   Meanwhile, the Lord prepared St. Peter for this encounter with a gentile through a vision, and the Holy Spirit confirmed that St. Peter should go to see him.  When St. Peter preached to Cornelius and his household, St. Luke relates that the Holy Spirit descended on them in the same way that He had descended on the Apostles at Pentecost and that they began to praise God. This was a sign to St. Peter that he should baptize them and receive them into the Church. Today, as has been true throughout the Christian era, there are many souls outside of the Catholic Church who are sincerely seeking the Lord.  Many who receive the Word of God as what it truly is – the Divine Word – are blessed with great insights, only awaiting the visit of some …

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! By the grace of God, we have been able to move our leadership retreat to Our Sorrowful Mother’s Ministries Retreat Center in Vandalia, Illinois, an hour’s drive from St. Louis, Missouri, August 23-29, 2020.  Our Blessed Mother has made clear that She does not want us to give into fear, and that we must continue to proclaim the Gospel on the foundation of the true Catholic doctrine of creation with all our strength. If this new location would make it possible for some of you to attend who were unable to make the trek to Corpus Christi, please send me an email at howen@shentel.net and I will send you more information about the retreat. One of the themes of this year’s retreat is the theology of the Absolute Primacy of Christ as a key to the restoration of the true Catholic doctrine of creation in the era of peace promised by Our Lady of Fatima. One of the inspired authors who helped to develop this theology of the primacy of Christ was Venerable Maria of Agreda, “the Blue Nun,” who bi-located hundreds of times from her Conceptionist convent in Spain …

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! The United States Supreme Court recently gave the world a shocking example of the harm that evolutionary indoctrination has done to some of the most “conservative” leaders in the Western world. In the words of an American Family Association press release: On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court bypassed Congress and by judicial fiat inserted sexual orientation and gender identity into Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The high court issued its 6-3 ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, a decision that consolidated a total of three cases into one. The ruling shocked conservatives because joining the liberal wing of the court were two supposed constitutional justices – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch, who penned the wording of the decision. The 1964 law prohibits discrimination on the basis of a number of characteristics, including “sex.” Gorsuch admitted that the meaning of the word as written referred “only to biological distinctions between male and female” – not sexual orientation and gender identity, as the plaintiffs claimed. Nevertheless, Gorsuch proceeded to create a loophole through which he drove the legal result he desired. Justice Gorsuch claimed he …

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! During the almost twenty years that we have been involved in this apostolate, we have often been told by Tradition-minded Catholics that it gives God more glory to have used “secondary causes” to produce His creation than to have “magically” brought all of the different kinds of creatures into existence directly by His fiat. During this liturgical season when Catholics reflect on the early days of the Church as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, Scripture offers a striking rebuke to this way of thinking. In Acts Chapter 4, we are told that after St. Peter and St. John healed a cripple in the Name of Jesus, the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem: seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered: and they knew them that they had been with Jesus. 14Seeing the man also who had been healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15But they commanded them to go aside out of the council: and they conferred among themselves, 16Saying: What shall we do to these men? For indeed a miracle hath been done by …

    I wasn’t raised Catholic and viewed the Catholic Church and the notion of God and submission to the Church as any other atheist: an authoritarian, intrusive obstacle to my liberty. Raised in public school, this notion was rooted deeper throughout the years in my soul. Convinced, in my feminist pride, I even went and took a 4-year B.Sc. (called a licentiate) in Biochemistry, and was ready to use it against religion. Besides, I was close to satanism. I hated the Catholic Church. Contrast this with the fact that all this happened in Portugal, a land of Catholic roots. Nowadays most young people are atheist or at best indifferent. In Portugal, there are only two options: either you’re Catholic or you’re an atheist. I know very well what atheists mean when they say that “God did it” doesn’t explain anything. When reason doesn’t work, that’s what you get – they have no clue who God is. Nor does it matter to them, because they are only interested in pleasures. Having always had an attraction for philosophy, I began to thirst for truth and realized that even though Catholicism was all around me, my family and some friends were Catholic, my country …
