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...

The US Catholic Bishops have done little to nothing to help Catholics discern a clear political path in the United States. 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 →
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 →
Faithful Catholics and American Patriots now find themselves on the same team, fighting against a cabal of Modernism, Marxism and Globalism that really and truly is hell-bent on world domination.

I used to be of the mindset that the United States of America had seen its glory days and is on the downward spiral now. Certainly, this has been true for the latter half of the 20th-century anyway. The America of my father's youth (1945 - 1965) is gone, never to be seen again. I... Continue Reading →
On Thursday, October 24, 2019, a disinformation and slander campaign was launched by what appears to be the Vatican Department of Telecommunications against Dr. Taylor Marshall, a conservative Catholic author and YouTube talk-show host. Presumably, based on the form of the attack, the reason was Dr. Marshall's traditional Catholic views. It appears that somebody in... Continue Reading →
I originally wrote the following essay on October 17, 2016. Though the election is long since over, it seems even more relevant now... A storm is approaching. We've been watching it build on the horizon for decades, and now it's here. The first sprinkles of rain have already hit us, and with the wind now... Continue Reading →
