Feast of St. George and the “Revelations 12 sign”… end of the world?
Once again, being Catholic with normal daily devotions makes one “rapture ready” and apocalypse proof. Over the past year, I have seen here and there various reports of the astrological alignment occurring today. Evangelicals, in particular, have been positing that this all has to do with Israel (the state made in the 1900’s, not the Old…

Which is Worse: China Banning Children from Church or Our Sub-Par Catechesis?
In the news today, reports are there that four provinces in China now ban children from churches. The churches are warned not to allow parents to bring children or they will be severely punished. I was thinking about that. If successful, it will be a generation that has no memory of going to church with the…
Accompanying Herod: Why did People Go out in the Wilderness to See John the Baptist?
“Did you find everything you were looking for?” I remember the first time I heard that question. I had been looking around that store for what seemed to be hours. At one point, I asked a clerk in the store to help and they had to go get some help. They never returned. As I…
The Church of Wussies: this is why John the Baptist was Beheaded
