https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-tjma7-117d983 This is a big subject and, as usual, I barely scratch the surface. Is it required that we all be Catholic to be saved? I look to the history, in brief, and give some thoughts as an ordinary old Catholic girl. Best thing to do is for each of us to study, and pray,Continue reading “The ”Privileged Way” or the ”Non-Negotiable Way”?”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-y9982-1172fc4 I have returned to considerations of the Play “Brand”. His “All Or Nothing” should, perhaps, give way to the paradoxical but more compassionate, “All And Nothing”. What do you think?

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-gcxwb-116a43b It has been a discouraging two years, and sometimes it feels like trudging through a desert without ever finding the oasis. I find myself murmuring–complaining–about God’s purposes. A priest friend reminds me of the Psalms, which I have hardly ever spent any time with, and they remind me of God’s Modes of Action fromContinue reading “2022: Continuing the Journey through the Desert to the Promised Land”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vv7yf-1162e42 I suppose this title rather speaks for itself. Here I am doing what is “right” but somehow something is terribly wrong. 

It’s called “All or Nothing”. I ran across this Henrik Ibsen play. I admit, rather ashamed, that I never read anything by Henrik Ibsen, though he wrote very famously, “A Doll’s House” and “Hedda Gabler”. But I found this play while reading about a television show called “The Prisoner” with Patrick McGoohan. It’s all ratherContinue reading “NEWEST EPISODE ON THE PODCAST ORDINARY OLD CATHOLIC ME”

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-cujnv-115b55a It is amazing how sometimes circuitous are the ways that I discover what will become the subject of a podcast on Catholic life. So this week while watching You Tube Videos about “The Prisoner” a TV show back in the 1960s with Patrick McGoohan, I ran across a play by Henrik Ibsen, “Brand” whichContinue reading “All or Nothing: Is that Your Will, My Will or God‘s Will?”

I kind of forgot about my little domain here on Word Press. They reminded me that my subscription is about to renew. Should I keep it or should I not? I have decided to keep it and hopefully to use it more abundantly in talking about the podcast and things adjacent to it. I hopeContinue reading “I AM BACK”

Podbean.com on which I launched and have managed my podcast about being an ordinary Catholic in a difficult world has sent me a little badge to mark the occasion of my having 1,000 download/listens to Ordinary Old Catholic Me. I can’t complain as I have only been “on the air” since May 2020, and thereContinue reading “Big News for This New Podcaster!”

I have the podcast, which I began in May 2020. I have an Instagram page, also called Ordinary Old Catholic Me. But I also wanted a spot where those who listen to the podcast could read the stories behind the podcast, a place to talk a little more about the faith and share that faithContinue reading “WELCOME TO ORDINARY OLD CATHOLIC ME”
