Killing the Pro-Life Movement

David Daleiden is killing the pro-life movement. You’re likely outraged at me just for saying it - which makes the point. There’s a great scene in “Batman Begins” when Bruce Wayne is on ice,...
Making a Regular Rule of Confession

The Church in her love and wisdom exhorts us to prepare ourselves for the reception of the Holy Mysteries. We are told to come to confession, to seek it regularly, but without a concrete plan of action. Pastors will preach about frequent...
A Very Byzantine Problem - On Divorce and Remarriage

No doubt many of us were disappointed about the decision that the Supreme Court reached upon the legality of same-sex marriage. Some may say, 'well it was only a legal decision that affects not the Church.' While this is in some...
Do Not Attempt Docking: Interstellar and the Synod on the Family

Brand: Dr. Mann, do not open the inner hatch. I repeat, do not open the inner hatch! I repeat, do not open... Dr. Mann: Brand? I don't know what he said to you, but I am taking command of the Endurance, and then we...
Metamorphosis

Remember in elementary school, when your teacher had the box with the mesh screen on top and the see-through plastic walls where the caterpillars hung out? Yeah, It must have been kindergarten or first grade for me. But also remember the...
On Trophy Hunting

This week we've seen two stories develop that seem to oppose one another: the death of Cecil the lion, and the expose of Planned Parenthood's coverup. The story of Cecil the lion seems innocent enough, a wealthy American dentist...
Saint Panteleimon - A Model for our Lives

One of the many appellations of Jesus is the Great Physician. Throughout the Gospel, we find Jesus demonstrating his power to forgive sins by showing he has the power to heal ailments. St. Luke states this perhaps the clearest in chapter...
What does John 3:16 really mean?

Everyone's seen THAT guy. Maybe as you are driving through a small town, you catch a glimpse of him on a street corner. Or maybe you even saw him at a protest for human rights. Yeah—the guy who is holding up the giant sign that...
Good Friday and the Goodness of the Cross

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I...
Pray with the Psalms - St. Gregory of Narek

Pope Francis has blessed the Church by bestowing the honor of Doctor to St. Gregory of Narek. This Armenian monk and priest is much beloved by the Armenian people and second only to St. Vartan in popularity. His hymns can be found in the...
Do not seek spiritual gifts, but the Spirit Himself

Do not seek spiritual gifts. Do not seek to be filled with wisdom for the sake of being seen as wise. Do not seek to be a charitable person, so that people may say "look, there's so and so doing such a wonderful things." Do...
Hidden with Christ in God

Adoration of the Mystic Lamb God by grace resides in the just soul as in a temple, in a most intimate and peculiar manner. From this proceeds that union of affection by which the soul adheres most closely to God, more so...
Be a companion to those who are sad at heart
Ending Religion

A recent blog claims that, following in the footsteps of Jesus and Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis aims to end religion. "Some scholars," the author points out, "have said that Jesus came to end religion. If you...
Modern Pharisees

Jesus did not come for everybody. What a scandalous statement to make. If I were important, I would hear an unbiased news reporter somewhere saying “Noe, the half-mexican from California has just made one of the most intolerant,...
