The Key to the Christian Life: Mastery of the Self

✠Jerome OSJV offers a bold and clarifying vision for personal holiness in an age of confusion and collapse. Rooted in the wisdom of Scripture, the perennial moral law, and the lived example of the saints, the conference reclaims the forgotten truth that sanctity is not mysterious or unattainable—it is the fruit of self-mastery. With compelling clarity, it explores how the Ten Commandments are not chains but signposts to human flourishing, and how true freedom is found not in indulgence but in discipline. Addressing the moral crises of our time, it calls each listener to embrace the dignity of choosing the good, to rise again after failure, and to become a beacon of light in a darkening world. Far from being abstract or idealistic, this is a message of practical hope—one that begins not with systems or revolutions, but with the transformation of the individual heart.

Today’s homily: Passion Monday (2025)

In Passiontide's solemn shadows, the Church leads us to San Crisogono, where St. Chrysogonus—martyred and cast into the sea—echoes Jonas, emerging to preach repentance by his death. Like Nineve, we are called to fast in body and soul, lest Christ's words—“You shall seek Me and shall not find Me”—fall upon us. Yet to the penitent, Christ offers living water. Let us repent while mercy flows, and become vessels of grace in a thirsty world.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Today’s homily: St Vincent Ferrer OP (2025)

St. Vincent Ferrer, a Dominican preacher in a time of crisis, lived the Gospel call to repentance and watchfulness. Renowned for miracles and fearless preaching, he chose truth over comfort and unity over ambition. His life reflects today’s readings: tested like gold, vigilant for Christ's return, and a light in darkness. As Lent continues, we are called to imitate his readiness, charity, and zeal, shining Christ’s light in a world bound by sin.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Today’s homily: St Isidore of Seville (2025)

St. Isidore speaks powerfully to our age of confusion, reminding us that true education forms the soul in truth, not just facts. He united faith and reason, preserving wisdom to build Christendom. In a time when Catholics risk being shaped by culture over catechism, he calls us to renew our minds, love truth, and teach with fidelity. His life urges us to be intellectually awake, spiritually alive, and pastorally courageous in service of Christ and His Church.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Nuntiatoria: UK Toddler suspended from school for alleged Transphobia

A UK toddler was suspended from nursery for alleged “transphobia,” part of a trend where 94 young children were disciplined for similar reasons in 2022–23. This reflects the rise of ideological enforcement in schools, where natural innocence is punished to uphold gender ideology. The Archbishop calls on Christians to protect children, defend truth, and reject the false compassion of a culture that sacrifices innocence on the altar of political conformity.

Today’s Homily: From Blindness to Sonship: A Lenten Scrutiny of the Heart

Homily for Wednesday Lent IV. At St. Paul’s Basilica, the Church recalls the ancient scrutiny of catechumens and their reception of the Pater Noster—a sign of spiritual enlightenment. The healing of the blind man in John 9 mirrors the baptismal grace that gives true sight, while Ezechiel foretells this cleansing and renewal of heart. St. Francis of Paola reminds us that holiness requires poverty and humility. Lent calls us to be scrutinized anew, that we may truly see and live as sons of the Father.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Nuntiatoria: Defending the Eucharist - What the Kansas Black Mass Revealed

On March 28, 2025, a Satanist group staged a Black Mass at the Kansas Capitol, publicly mocking the Catholic liturgy and desecrating what appeared to be a Eucharistic host. A courageous Catholic intervened to rescue it. In this video, the Archbishop reflects on the event, explains what a Black Mass is, and calls the faithful to respond—not with outrage, but with reverence, reparation, and renewed love for Christ in the Eucharist.https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/💰To support this apostolate:https://www.patreon.com/OldRomanTVTo support the clergy: https://gofund.me/63af7b8dhttps://www.paypal.me/ArchbishopOfSelsey

Today’s Homily: From Golden Calf to Living Temple: A Lenten Call to True Worship

On this Fourth Tuesday of Lent, we see Israel's idolatry and God’s mercy through Moses’ intercession, prefiguring Christ the true Mediator who absorbs divine wrath in His own flesh. In the Gospel, Christ is rejected despite His open teaching, just as modern man resists the Incarnate Word. Lent calls us to repent of idolatry, return to true worship, and follow Christ with the zeal of St. Lawrence, offering ourselves in love and fidelity to the covenant fulfilled in Him.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Nuntiatoria: Cardinal George Pell and the Arizona Miracle: A Sign of Sainthood?

After a near-fatal drowning in which he was submerged and without a pulse for 52 minutes, 18-month-old Vincent Robinson of Phoenix, Arizona made a full recovery—defying all medical expectations. In the midst of the crisis, his parents, who had met Cardinal George Pell in 2021 and held him in deep regard, prayed urgently for his intercession. Astonishingly, Vincent was discharged from the hospital with no neurological or organ damage, prompting doctors to describe his recovery as miraculous. The event has since sparked discussion about Cardinal Pell’s possible path to canonization, as authenticated miracles are required in the Catholic Church’s process of declaring someone a saint. Nevertheless, formal proceedings typically begin no sooner than five years after the individual’s death.https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/💰To support this apostolate:https://www.patreon.com/OldRomanTVTo support the clergy: https://gofund.me/63af7b8dhttps://www.paypal.me/ArchbishopOfSelsey
