I have never been so busy or tired and I may never write again. And yet…

Everyone interested in Encounter Ministries and other neo-gnostic charismatic movements needs to follow Father Buffer's research.

I don’t want reels. I want this to be a place for people who enjoy reading good writing.

I’ll take the thousand words, not the video that replaces them.

You don't need to visit every shrine in Europe or master the Catechism. You don't need elaborate prayer routines, Catholic social media validation, or the perfect saint medal collection.

You need the quiet consistency of showing up—at Mass, in Scripture, through service, in silent moments of surrender. 

Sanctity isn't found in spiritual achievements. It's discovered in the daily yes.

Great discussions

The most I can offer this unrepentant monster (my former bishop) is a tepid “May the Lord have mercy on his soul,” and a prayer that I might one day even mean it.

Uncle Ted Is Dead. Uncle Ted Lives On

My kids (early 30's) got vax'd and I am holding my breath they do ok. They refuse to watch anything I send them. I have many vax injured friends who are in denial. I am a nurse with decades of experience. Sudden onset of atrial fibrillation, recurrence of cancers that were in remission, 2 people who died of brain tumors in less than 8 weeks from diagnosis to death, a friend who clotted off his gallbladder, one dropped dead outside in his yard........it's dreadful. We are in a pickle because at this point if you DO get them to read something and they realize they've been duped most will not thank you but instead be angry (the kill the messenger deal). This has driven a wedge in more than one relationship. hang in there!
