One day Lou, who is a fellow parishioner, said that he was going to a conference on one of my faves, St. Thomas More. I asked if he’d consider sitting down with me and talking more about More. He happily said yes, and we finally got to do so. Today’s podcast is part 1 and I hope you agree it was an wonderful discussion between two ordinary Catholics about a truly extraordinary one. 

I Still Don’t Get It

The shift from the Traditional Latin Mass to the Novus Ordo was something I experienced personally as a young Catholic. It might have been intended to be well crafted and something for which the laity was well prepared, but it was not, and after that the fallout was swift and it has continued to this day when our politicians now feel free to define what it means to be a Catholic. 

Some personal musings on the subject, including how I find myself being drawn more to Tradition as I watch the modernist trends grip both Church and a crumbling social structure.

I Just Gotta Talk about. . . Abortion.

Dicey subject indeed. Don’t want to upset anyone, but then sometimes the truth requires upset. I am a Catholic and as such, I cannot help but feel that I have an obligation to speak about the Faith, things that simply do not change. But fair warning. . . .many will not agree. Including friends and family.

This is the second part of an interview with Fr. Paul Donlan of Opus Dei on the role of Family, Conversion (and Reversion) in the Rebirth of the Catholic Church. I felt a great sense of inspiration. I hope you do too!

In this first part of a two part interview with Fr. Paul Donlan, a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei, our spirits will be raised, I think, by his optimism about the undercurrent of growth of the Church by virtue of family life and conversions to the faith courtesy of the Holy Spirit!

Sin, What Sin?

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vu34j-11f536e

As we wend our way to Holy Week, we should be thinking about why Christ died for us? Because of, sin. The only way to restore the relationship with God after the sin of Adam and Eve was for God to become Man, join time, join history, die, be resurrected and offer to us, once again, the joys of Paradise. But we still have to say “yes”. And that means that we have to have a sense of sin, which is lost in this modern society even among Catholics. Some thoughts from the Ordinary Catholic.
