Why Marian Doctrine Matters

In this sermon Father discusses the Catholic doctrine that the Blessed Virgin Mary is rightly called Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces, that these titles belong to the deposit of faith and are consistently taught by Scripture, Tradition, the Fathers, Doctors, Saints, and Popes. Denying these Marian titles undermines authentic Christology, rejects the Church’s historical teaching authority, and results in doctrinal collapse masked by false ecumenism. We need unwavering devotion to Our Lady, especially in the present age of crisis, presenting her as God’s chosen instrument for the final victory over error and the salvation of souls. Key quotes from this sermon: St. Louis de Montfort: “God wishes to make Mary better known in the latter times.” St. Alphonse Liguori: “If you call on Our Lady promptly in temptation, it is an infallible sign that you will not fall.” St. Maximilian Kolbe: “Mary is Co-Redemptrix because she is the Immaculate Conception, uniquely united to the Holy Ghost.” St. Vincent of Lérins: “We must hold what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.” St. Jerome: “The whole world groaned and was astonished to find itself Arian.” St. John Eudes: “All the Fathers of the Church clearly teach that Mary is Co-Redemptrix with Christ in the work of salvation.” Links, Reading Material, and Books: Mother of the Savior and Our Interior Life — Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange (Free on Internet Archive) True Devotion to Mary — St. Louis de Montfort The Priest’s Dignity and Obligations — St. John Eudes The Litany of Loreto "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #052: Yellow Brick Road to Hell

In this episode Father discusses the profound crisis in the Church rooted in the Second Vatican Council, synodality, and modern ecclesial reforms which contradict prior infallible teaching and have led to doctrinal confusion, liturgical collapse, and moral corruption. The suppression of the traditional Roman Rite, the promotion of moral errors — especially regarding sexuality — and the infiltration of the Church by hostile forces are signs of a long-prophesied apostasy and an approaching chastisement. We must practice spiritual resistance through prayer, penance, fidelity to tradition, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and serious study of the saints and doctors of the Church.

The Assumption of Mary: Triumph of Love

In this sermon Father discusses the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as defined by Pope Pius XII, emphasizing the Church’s infallible authority to proclaim divinely revealed truths and the necessity of assenting to every dogma of the Catholic faith. Mary’s Assumption is inseparable from her perfect detachment from sin and the world, her total conformity to the will of God, and her unique participation in Christ’s redemptive work through love, suffering, and humility. Let us imitate Mary and the saints by practicing detachment, living sacramentally, preparing daily for death, and trusting in Our Lady’s powerful intercession for perseverance and salvation. Key quotes from this sermon: St. Thomas Aquinas: “To reject one dogma is to reject them all.” St. Robert Bellarmine: The Art of Dying Well — “To die well, one must first die to the world.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Blessed is that death which is purchased at any price.” St. Francis of Assisi: “My God and my all.” St. John of the Cross: “One may be attached even to something holy, such as a rosary.” St. Augustine of Hippo: “Before sin, the devil tells you God is merciful; after sin, he tells you God will never forgive.” St. Alphonsus Liguori: “As you live, so you will die.” St. John Vianney: Assurance given to Augustine Cohen regarding his mother’s salvation through Marian intercession. St. Bernardine of Siena: Christ Himself went forth to meet His Mother at her Assumption. St. Anselm of Canterbury: Christ ascended first in order to prepare and accompany Mary to her heavenly throne. St. Peter Damian: The Assumption of Mary surpasses even the Ascension in splendor. St. John Damascene: Christ Himself gave Mary Holy Viaticum before her Dormition.

The Woman, the Serpent, and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart

In this sermon Father discusses the divine motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the foundation of all Marian doctrine and as inseparable from authentic Christology and the Catholic Faith. Attacks on Mary’s titles — especially Mother of God, Mediatrix of all Graces, and Co-Redemptrix — are signs of doctrinal collapse foretold by saints, councils, and Marian apparitions. Heresy against Mary inevitably leads to heresy against Christ; we need to remain steadfast, to defend revealed dogma even amid ecclesial confusion, and to deepen devotion to Our Lady — particularly through the Rosary — as a sign of fidelity and perseverance unto salvation. Key quotes from this sermon: St. Louis de Montfort: “Whoever wishes to possess Jesus must possess Mary.” St. Alphonse Liguori: “One good priest leads thousands to heaven; one bad priest leads thousands to hell.” St. Louis de Montfort: “Jesus is the fruit of Mary, and Mary is the true tree of life.” St. Justin Martyr: “The Virgin Mary became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race.” St. Irenaeus of Lyons: “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary.” St. Augustine: “The elect are carried in the womb of Mary until she brings them forth into eternal glory.” St. Catherine of Siena: “This vice [sodomy] is so abominable that even the demons turn away in horror.” Links, Reading Material, and Books: The Holy Bible: Douay-Rheims Version (Paperback) he Holy Bible: Douay-Rheims Version (Leather bound) The Love of Eternal Wisdom Encyclical: Fulgens Corona The Council of Ephesus Council of Chalcedon The Second Council of Constantinople   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

The Immaculate Conception: Dogma, Defense, and Devotion

In this sermon Father discusses the Immaculate Conception, explaining how Blessed Duns Scotus resolved theological difficulties by arguing that it was fitting for God to preserve His mother from original sin, a doctrine later defined as dogma by Pope Pius 9th. Mary is the “woman” of Genesis who crushes the serpent’s head, and as the “mold of God,” she serves as the perfect mediator to help the faithful be transformed into Christ. We need to practice total consecration to the Immaculate, imitating her virtues and relying on her intercession as it is the surest path to salvation and victory in spiritual warfare. Key quotes from Saints in this sermon: St. Augustine: “Mary was the only one who merited to be called the mother and spouse of God.” St. Augustine: “For sin never had any entry into the soul of the Blessed Virgin.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Thou alone was found worthy to be chosen as the one in whose virginal womb the king of kings should have his first abode.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Noah’s ark was a type of Mary, for as by its means men were preserved from the deluge, so are we all preserved by Mary from the shipwreck of sin.” St. Bonaventure: “It was becoming that the Blessed Virgin Mary by whom our shame was to be blotted out and by whom the devil was to be conquered should never even for a moment have been under her dominion.” St. Thomas Aquinas: “It was necessary that he, Christ, who was to take away sin, should be separated from sin as to the fault under which Adam lay.” St. Ambrose: “Christ chose this vessel unto which he was about to descend not avert but from heaven and he consecrated it a temple of purity.” St. Louis de Montfort: “I still would choose the immaculate way of Mary. It is a way a road without stain or spot without original sin or actual sin without shadow or darkness.” St. Louis de Montfort: “Mary is the great mold of God fashioned by the Holy Ghost to give human nature to a man who is God… and to fashion through the grace men who are like to God.” St. John Damascene: “O Blessed Virgin, thou was born and thou mightiest minister to the salvation of the whole world.” Links, Reading Material, and Books: The Secret of Mary (With Preparation for Total Consecration) by St. Louis de Montfort True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis Consecration to Mary (Angelus Press)   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #050: Satan vs. The Family

In this episode Father discusses the Miracle of the Sun: the most public “private” revelation since Apostolic times. Satan knows his time is short, and his final (and he hopes decisive) battle will be against Marriage and the Family, which anyone can see has been well underway for a few decades now. While we know not the day nor the hour, our time is short as well and we need to sanctify the time we have before entering into eternity!

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #049: Eternal Life is the Basic Issue

In a thought-provoking discussion, Father Isaac tackles the contradiction of awarding pro-abortion politicians and the implications for church doctrine. He defends the necessity of the death penalty and separates immigration concerns from pro-life issues. The power of the Rosary is emphasized as protection against heresy. The dialogue also questions the Vatican's alignment with secular environmentalism and highlights the urgent need for bishops to publicly address public heretics. A call to action includes prayer, study, and living the Fatima Message.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #048: Speaking By Omission

In this episode Father skips the recent political assassination to address the assassination of the Catholic Faith taking place by the hands of the current Bishop In White. Rather than confirming the brethren in Faith he is omitting to speak out against errors and heresy… in fact, he seems to be propagating them intentionally. Read the signs of the times, heed Our Lady’s warnings at La Salette, Fatima, and Akita for the time of mercy is ending.
