Don’t like PayPal? No Problem! We fixed that!
We’ve heard many times from people that either do not want to support PayPal because of the variety of issues with the corporate policies and issues they advance, don’t want to use because it is confusing or complex, or just don’t like it. The problem has always been that many others like PayPal and use it….
Dance Faster! Silly People in Oklahoma want Kali vs. Mary
People are sharing this story about a satanic group in Oklahoma that thinks by dancing three women counter-clockwise around a miraculous medal, they can capture the Blessed Mother in Kali’s mouth. They are going to charge $35 for admission. Times must be tough because Fr. Corapi used to charge more than that for his stadium gigs. Many reactions…
Kolbe: St. Benedict’s one trick to become Holy
On the feast the St. Benedict, we typically see people speaking of his medal and protection from evil, but there’s so much more to this saint! One time his sister, St. Scholastica wrote to him for advice on how to be holy, but before we report his answer to her, consider the life of this saint…
How Cigarettes and the Blessed Mother can Defeat a Bolshevik Army
Quite some time ago, I read a quote that had been sent to me by a number of people, but I wasn’t really sure what to say about it other than express disgust and disappointment. Sometimes you read these things said by Cardinals and it makes you wonder if they are Catholic, or unaware of what…
Are you forgetting something? The Inescapable Law of Mortification
In an age when we are inundated with all kinds of pleasures and told sin and hell don’t exist, it’s time to consider mortification. As we deny temptations and unlawful practices of pleasure, or choose to do acts of mortification to grow holier, we tend to actually enjoy God’s created goods more. Recently we celebrated…
Is your parish dollar buying the subversion of Parish Life?
I am looking around at parish life in the big city these days, and all I see in the bulletin are listings for new programs. There is one thing that can renew a parish immediately. It doesn’t cost money. It doesn’t require volunteers. And it is a sure fire way to bring miraculous turnarounds and…
The One Group Pope Francis Seemingly Won’t Apologize to
Just a few days after I mentioned that Pope Francis said things that got people in an uproar over matrimony, here we are again. I see that he is going from Armenia to Azerbaijan, and talking to reporters. He mentioned strange things about Luther, and said that the Church should apologize to homosexuals for marginalizing them. I know…
Despite all the Angst, Maybe Pope Francis is Right… And the reactions were wrong for the wrong reasons
In the past week, Pope Francis said something that got everyone in an uproar (imagine that). Catholic blogs were immediately lambasting the statement. Many claimed that he was wrong to say what he said. A giant news network even got into the act and claimed it was time for him to resign. I wonder if maybe…
One trick of Catholic practice to conquer your least favorite chore
Because the weather is more like a convection oven these days, and not wanting to feel roasted like St. Lawrence when doing the yard work today, I got all that done early this morning. I had surprised myself though when I noticed I was excited not because I was done with that chore, but rather because…
Magazine: The Mercy of God, Summer 2016, Issue 1
Take the word mercy back from the liberals! Last year, when Pope Francis announced the Jubilee Year of Mercy, we all saw the glee and reactions of liberals in the news. Surely, everyone remembers the “All are Welcome” and “On the Margins” being flamboyantly heralded by liberal Catholics to convey the idea that somehow, through the…
