In the News

This past Sunday we celebrated Christ the King, the end of the Church year. Next week is the first week of Advent, and the start of the new Church year. For anyone that has been to Mass the past few weeks may have noticed that the reading all had something to do with the end [...]

The Church and the Public Square

The past month or so I have been asked or confronted with the statements about the Catholic faith. Most often from Catholics themselves.

The 3 Dots and much more…

The ultimate Comfort Food

Fall has seem to hit Michigan over the past week or so, this morning on my way in to work it was 46 degrees, that’s a tad bit chilly for an August morning.

Redistribution of wealth

The Obama platform, the one he ran on and the one he is implementing from his seat of power is one of redistribution; wealth is taken from one and given to others in the name of fairness, equality and compassion. The concept that many fell is a biblical one, that somehow being a Catholic we [...]

Defending the Faith…Purgatory

I wanted to do a second blog on the whole boy thing, I did for my other blog, You can be new called Boyness, and I almost just ran it here also, like I did with the last two blogs, but I decided that I really needed to take a different look at boy’s here [...]
