I'm currently writing a defense of the revelations of Christ to St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion in response to the attacks from (some) radical traditionalists. Buckle up.

Just finished this wonderful book. A great little read in the wake of the Second Vatican Council and an insightful exposé from a Father of Vatican II.

This is insightful. As a Catholic — a cradle Catholic, but an intellectual one — I spent a long time jumping, like Qoheleth, from one pursuit to another in order to find meaning, to “prove” myself, as it were. That included a lot of intellectual pursuits and attempts to master Catholic theology.

Like many who attended Steubenville — defi…

Michael and Satan Fight for the Body of Moses

Commentaries on the Letter of Jude are more interesting than you might expect. There’s a lot going on in these 459 words. F’rinstance, Jude 9 is a real rabbit hole: ”But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounc…

This is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. These are normal parents doing normal things, but an extreme try-hard judge and school district stopped them from acknowledging reality.

Normal people just need to keep this up and society will eventually heal.

I got my first “fan” who was really just a pr0n account trolling for followers. Blocked and reported, as they say. That kind of garbage will bring the site down faster than anything else. Keep it out of Substack. And if you're engaging in this kind of behavior, you need to start praying that Jesus shows you a better way to use the gifts he gave you.

With Holy Week approaching, I was thinking of sharing a short daily meditation from St. Thomas Aquinas. Nothing from me—just his wisdom—but I’d do my best to walk you through it and help you understand it. Would that interest you?

Bonus hole? That’s just stupid. If your doctor ever uses that term, find another doctor.

My wife of 30 plus years went to the Gyno Dr. her "plan" moved her to, as her original Dr. retired due to the idiocy here in NJ regarding anything to have to do with the medical profession. When she arrived, they told her to wear a mask in the office, even after the planned-demic was officially over. She said no, and continued.

The office required a form to fill out. It was a generalized health form asking you if you were sick, do you have your jabs, are you currently on any medications, etc. Tw…

Nice to hear about somebody who didn't cave to their doctor. Many find their doctor’s conduct objectionable, but they won't replace him/her for various reasons, mainly IMHO having to do with convenience- their doctor is the only one that knows their issues… they had a hard time finding specialist in the area they need… it’s the doctor their insurance company picked… so on and so forth. These are decisions each individual has to make for themselves. I'm not going to second guess.

I will say, I re…

I agree EI. For myself, it's not only about whom I go to, but it's mainly about how I can be my own personal advocate when it comes to my health.

Part of my personal "great awakening" started in the mid 1990's. WIfe and I had our first dog die within days after being vaccinated for Rabies booster, which was advised to us by our veterinarian, whom we had implicit trust in. The 3 poochies killed a groundhog at grandma's house, and they told us to rush our dogs in to be "boosted" against rabies. Li…

Just heartbreaking to read the story of your dog and what he went through needlessly. We are never giving our dog a rabies shot again. We will only do a titer test and we will do that with some of the other animal vaccines as well.

And as far as the changes in what you eat - FOOD IS MEDICINE so we are very aware of what to and what not to eat. Good for you making those critical food changes. We must advocate for ourselves and for our pets! Big Harma sucks!
