A man in a suit holding playing cards that spell out "BODILY PRESENCE." He has a mustache and is dressed in formal attire. The illustration appears to be vintage, with muted colors."

Aside: Mueller Story Distracting from the Police Raids?

Sometimes you just wonder something and keep the idea to yourself. Then, when someone else mentions it, you begin to think…  “hmmm…  I might not be alone in thinking that.” It’s human nature… we follow the latest sensational thing. Some call it the “watch the ball” sleight of hand politicians use. If a scandal erupts, do something outrageous. People…

A diagram with text "Facebook Church is Dewey Church" featuring silhouettes of people connected by dotted lines. Labels include 'YOU', 'MARK', 'DEWEY', 'GOD', and 'RELIGION'. The words "Facebook Church" are in blue."

Zuckerberg’s Facebook Church is Real … Don’t Misunderstand him

Recently, there was a bunch of hooey because Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said he thought Facebook groups could replace church for many people. I think he’s right. Unfortunately, I take the opposite stance that the Federalist took. They said Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t understand church. They explain that Facebook cannot replace church. See, Mark Zuckerberg Is Clueless About Church If He…

A religious icon of St. John Chrysostom with a quote about divine abandonment and its consequences, featuring traditional Orthodox colors of red, gold, and blue. The text reads: "But when God abandons a man, everything is turned upside down! Therefore, not only are their passions satanic, but their lives are diabolic..."

All Are Welcome? Gay Orgies at the Vatican? St. John Chrysostom has an answer

No doubt you’ve already read many reports of the police arrest of a high ranking Vatican monsignor. The police raided a debauchery of cocaine and “lusts among men” occurring in the apartment of Cardinal Coccopalmerio. This Cardinal has publicly stated that the church should emphasize the “positive” aspects of homosexual relationships. I don’t really need to bring…

A leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, next to a winged horse. Text reads: "Empty Promises at the End of the Sash." Vibrant colors with green fields and a rainbow."

If Gay Pride Was All About “Love”, then Why Do they Lash Out at Bishop Paprocki?

One of my favorite scenes from Casablanca is when the white-suited man comes up to the couple seated to dine outside. He is warning them that they must be careful in Casablanca… there are vultures, vultures everywhere! The man is grateful and thanks him for the concern. Then, he calls for the waiter and comes to realize that…

A crowd at a pride event holding signs with rainbow colors and text that reads: "It's just how to stop the sexual suicide love." The word 'love' is highlighted in rainbow colors. People are wearing colorful accessories and have blurred faces."

Father Hardon: How to Stop the Sexual Suicide

I was sitting at my desk one day and someone came to my office door and commented that they thought I was sitting in the dark. They say that because I didn’t have the bright fluorescent lights on, but let natural light come in the window. A little while later, someone else came and said the exact…

A character from Adventure Time holding a rainbow with text: "ANYBODY ELSE SICK OF RAINBOWS?" The character is pink with a red hat, and the rainbow has vibrant colors."

Replacing Condoms and Pills with Pride Parades

I keep telling myself that I’m not going to berate the rainbow itself. But… anyone that has been online this month,  has seen enough of them. This month of June is supposed to be for the Sacred Heart.   The same Lord who has that Sacred Heart in His human chest is ignited by a Divine love for…

A night sky filled with stars and the Milky Way galaxy, viewed through silhouetted pine trees. The scene is dark with vibrant star clusters and a hint of the galaxy's glow.

Stargazing

Looking at the stars is, perhaps, the single best way to excite the imagination–i.e., to wonder.  I can think of no other human activity that commands the attention of both body and soul.  It is something that causes a person to both consider his beginning and his end.

Stained glass depiction of a woman with a halo, holding a heart with flames and a crown of thorns. She wears blue robes and has a serene expression, symbolizing the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Catholic tradition.

The Immaculate Heart Prevents Modern Errors on the Sacred Heart

Notre Dame is still pushing the fantasyland of McBrien and Rahner’s process theology. But, this one thing about the Immaculate Heart of Mary prevents the delusional errors of making the Sacred Heart into a mere force of the universe that we must merge ourselves into. Rather, it is a real human heart that loves you.

SPECULATION: Pope Francis, Chinese Bishops, SWIFT, and Benedict’s Resignation

I have a pretty interesting idea about what might have been happening last month when Pope Francis (the Vatican) was discussing how Chinese Bishops are selected with the Chinese Government. VATICAN DESPERATE TO MAKE DEAL “AT ANY COST” Recall, that back in February, news reported that Cardinal Zen feared that Pope Francis was selling them…
