His truth is marching on--thank God for it! Spotlight of The Boston Globe did God's bidding in 2002, when the Church wouldn't, and now again, the press and The Pennsylvania Attorney General have shed light to Satan's work through his anti-Christ apostles. Most unfortunately, the diabolical is active well beyond the Catholic Church. Sexual abuse … Continue reading Catholic Clergy Sex Abuse and the Media

“Racists!” and Starbucks’ “Unconscious Bias” Training Camp
Audio Reading Racism is real and diabolical. It's most clearly displayed in the Holocaust and in institutional slavery. Repeatedly misusing a term demeans it. If practically all Caucasians are racists, whether or not they're even aware of it, the charge is devoid of substantive meaning, vacuous. Justice demands we treat like cases alike--no favoritism for … Continue reading “Racists!” and Starbucks’ “Unconscious Bias” Training Camp
Born to Trouble as Sparks Fly Upward
This proverb is true. I'm not mocking pessimism, nor am I being pessimistic. Count on trouble--it's a really safe bet! Is your vehicle running well? It won't be; in every material way, it's presently deteriorating. Are you healthy? You won't be; relatively soon, worms will find you nourishing. Either you won't have enough money or … Continue reading Born to Trouble as Sparks Fly Upward

Standing up to SJW Bullies
Audio Reading By my title, you've braced yourself for a polemical and vitriolic piece--HAVEN'T you! Put down your sign, stop the "hay hay ho ho" chant, and breath. I'm engaging in the culture wars on Divine Mercy Sunday, 8 April 2018; you've heard the chaplet: "For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on … Continue reading Standing up to SJW Bullies

Book Review of:
The Difference God Makes, Cardinal Frances George. Having recently read "The Baltimore Catechism, Four" and passages from "The Summa," I can't resist asking questions and answering them. This, then, is the mode for unpacking the late Cardinal Francis George's intellectually and spiritually challenging book. Given the depth of his writing, and my respect for its … Continue reading Book Review of:
The Christian Question
As compassionate progressives, I suggest we help nudge those struggling to keep pace with the laudable social strides initiated by President Obama and the Democratic party. While we celebrate gay marriage, open gendered shower rooms, and helping children transition to the gender of their choice, we should give pause before driving out more conservative Christians … Continue reading The Christian Question
