A candle flame next to a religious icon of Mary and Jesus, with text discussing media hype around Pope Francis' actions concerning the Traditional Latin Mass.

Don’t Tell Me I’ve Sinned!

The media appears to be making the Latin Mass issue also an abortion issue.

Media-Created Hype and the Motu Proprio

The U.S. Catholic Bishops are holding their semi-annual meeting and it’s time they prove whether they are politically correct mice or men worthy of the blood of the martyrs.

A bright yellow sun with a black starry background. Text reads: "WE NEED THE FIRE" in bold yellow letters, suggesting a theme of passion or divine inspiration."

We Need the Fire

Pentecost! The breath of God upon us, tongues of fire over the Apostles, filling them with courage to proclaim the Word. At times, I think what is needed nowadays is more like a forest fire.

A large white statue of the Virgin Mary with outstretched arms, standing beneath a canopy of triangular roof tiles in shades of purple and white. The sky is clear with soft clouds, and the text reads: "...His Mercy Endures Forever...". The scene is serene with greenery at the base of the statue, evoking a Catholic pilgrimage site."

Dust

“Do you think the Lord is trying to tell us something?” my husband asked after we heard about power outages in Texas and winter storms from the Gulf to Maine.

On Being Catholic – Your Way

The problem with the Catholic Bishops endorsing President Biden while Biden supports and endorses abortion is caused by the cafeteria Catholicism now generations old. A refusal to teach the faith to the past generations has led to a reluctance to choose the faith today, let alone follow it.
