Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation on the Amazon Synod has been released. Titled Querida Amazonia, the document proved to not be the bombshell Faithful Catholics were so worried about. While not on the caliber of anything we would expect from Pope St. John Paul II, or Pope Benedict XVI, and it does have some problems in... Continue Reading →
This is a friendly challenge, and a recommendation, to all individual American bishops who care about the spiritual safety of their flocks. Some of you may be aware that the US Bishops Voters Guide, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, is a complete flop among the laity. There are multiple reasons for this. First, it's too...

This morning I read an article (see here) that made me laugh, because it relayed a story about a cardinal in the Catholic Church who doesn't seem to understand some very basic terms. He suggested that Catholics who protest some actions of the pope ought to become Protestants, because that's what they essentially are. I... Continue Reading →
There are two polarities in the Catholic Church today, and while these two polarities have existed together under the popes for a generation, that tension will not last much longer. This is nothing new. Situations like this have existed in the past, and the result is always the same -- schism. Honestly, I don't know... Continue Reading →

Their so-called "voters guide" (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship) has been a weak document that does more to confuse Catholics than help guide them. For this reason I'm taking it upon myself, as a... Continue Reading →
The Catholic Church in Germany has been the leading proponent of heterodox (heretical) teaching and practice for decades now. While we can find many examples of heterodoxy, innovation, and outright lunacy in other places throughout the Church, the German bishops have taken a leading role and are now in the process of positioning themselves as...

Living in the Bible Belt, I run across a lot of misconceptions about what Catholicism is. Of course, I ran across these things in Southern California too, so the problem isn't just limited to the Bible Belt. Strangely, I've even seen Catholics display some pretty funny ideas of what makes one Catholic. I remember the... Continue Reading →
Dear Mr. President, In the wake of the ridiculous and absurd articles of impeachment filed against you yesterday in the US House of Representatives, I want to make my thoughts known. I do believe you will actually read this, as I think your advisers will make sure it reaches your desk somehow. However, I want... Continue Reading →
