MacLean’s Brings the Contraception Freak Show to Mainstream
The cover of the February 2018 Maclean’s magazine (a Canadian publication) features a smiling woman holding a young smiling boy over her head. If you did not read the text yet, it looks like fun. She looks happy. But, emblazoned across her face is a bold pink banner that reads “I wish I never had kids. There. I said…
“I put the Calf in the Oven”, “we give Papal Awards to anyone that visits”, and Slavery
One my favorite lame excuses of all time should be enshrined and burned into the memory of every child. It should be repeated now and then while drinking — everyone at the table laugh and laugh and laugh. It should be the first example off our lips when someone dissembles… “I put the gold in the oven…
God’s Pursuit of Fr. Walter Ciszek, S.J….and Each of Us
I suspect every person—at one point in his life or another—has a moment when he reflects on where he’s been, where he is, and muses at where he might be going. Similarly, I suspect that each person also has a moment where he reflects (or even agonizes) on what might have been if another path…
The First Church Liturgy: Angels Adoring, Shepherds Give Glory – All History is Changed
Let Our Lord remember your stinky self as one of the shepherds that bent a knee in the stable.
Self-control then gun-control
The Las Vegas and Texas church shootings sparked anew the gun-control debate. While opium is the leading cause of death in American, over gun violence and car accidents, it cannot be ignored that individuals are murdered by guns. Something must be done. Jimmy Kimmel called for a common sense approach to gun-control. A reasonable, common…
We Can All Breathe Easier Now that Fr. Weinandy resigned from the USCCB
Today, a dangerous force creeping into the Church was solidly quashed and quelled. After all, one must take firm and swift actions to keep the public order, right? After all, asking questions of the Holy Father is subversive and confusing to the laity. They might think the wrong thing. They might be encouraged to question his authority as…
Halloween Apostasy: Celebrating the Greatest Trick or Treat Disaster. Ever.
Once you understand the two reasons all apostates leave Mother Church, you will understand why people are commemorating Martin Luther this year. You see, Martin Luther was just a pedestrian apostate. His reasons weren’t that different from the others. The problem was that Luther hit the jackpot. And today, in the midst of Amoris Laetitia and similar confusion, people…
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…
This is Why Fr. James Martin Makes no Sense – Your Annie Oakley Decoder Ring
I promise you that this post will become a decoder ring for you to read Fr. James Martin and others in the AmChurch. You’ll laugh and rub your hands with glee as you will be able to predict exactly what he’ll say about things. You see, he’s just a modernist, in my humble opinion, and he’s following…
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…
