Presiders Be Gone – Give Us Priests!
A Roman Catholic priest sacrifices everything; his life is not his own. His example should be the model for our lives, for no Christian’s life is truly his own: it is Christ’s.
Our Hands-On, Tool-Wielding Savior
As we enter into Holy Week, we do well to ponder that fantastic integration of God and man and how it came to pass that perfection itself was so maligned and rejected.
Listening but Not Demanding
The Church is conducting “listening sessions” for the laity, when she should be demanding much for the great adventure of the Cross.
School Boards Seek FBI Protection…From Parents
Critical Race Theory and the arguments and actions both for and against it are constantly in the news—headlines tell us how it is variously mandated, praised, cursed, or banned. Yet, through the din, a larger question is taking form: how did the teaching industry become a political behemoth largely opposed to Western and Judeo/Christian values? … Read more
The Non-Critical Thinker’s Manifesto
The biggest problem with critical thinking is the critical part. It’s not socially acceptable; it’s not nice to be critical. And thinking? Well, we’ll get to that. As I was mindlessly dawdling on Facebook (which is about the only thing one can do there), and was just at the point of chastising myself, I came … Read more

Sustainability: The Social Justice Trojan Horse
The United Nations is persistently pursuing “sustainable development,” a goal with which some in the Church hierarchy, even the pope, seem to be onboard. This is troubling in a time when many see U.N. global initiatives as thinly-veiled Marxist ploys. Still, no matter what the subject, it seems such a reasonable question when someone chimes, … Read more
Contraception and Wet-Blanket Ecumenism
I was just a kid when the Second Vatican Council was brewing. It was called an ecumenical council; that is, a council meant to be universal in scope.

The Temptations of Milo Yiannopoulos
In recent years, social/political pundit Milo Yiannopoulos has been an insufferable pain in the backside for the politically correct. His traditionalist views, coupled with his blatantly homosexual lifestyle, have intensified the Left’s pain. It is excruciating for the politically correct to deal with anyone who cannot easily be typecast, because, lacking legitimate argument, typecasting is … Read more
