There are two ways to look up. The first is done while screaming. If the world has no value outside of being spewed up by Chance, we cannot aspire to anything but a fear beyond fear; terror in sight of the poker face that is the vastness of space. If the atheists are right, then we are nothing. If Earth truly is an insignificant dust mote swept into an insignificant galaxy by monumental and purposeless brooms, contained in a universe...

C‘mon maaan, you’ve already made your big 5 Reasons Contraceptives Suck post! Now everyone knows you’re a good Catholic and we can all go on with our lives, right? Wrong. Firstly because it is a general principle that someone must see an advertisement six times before buying the product advertised (OK, admittedly, it has nothing to do with that, don’t expect four more posts). Secondly, and more truthfully, I have serious issues with The Pill. With most other contraceptives, individuals can be... Read more
It was the common belief 40 years ago, and still for some living today, that the beautiful liberation the modern world now experiences – in its freedom from sexual taboos, freedom of ‘choice’, redefinition of love and marriage, denial of basic moral principles, etc. – was all very bold, very brave, very rad, man. If the movement could be personified, it would have been a tall, lusty woman who spoke confidently and sweetly, with dark eyes and flowers adorning her naked body.... Read more
There are two ways not to love a girl. The first is the most obvious, and hardly needs mention, but for totality’s sake, I put before you the Secular Humanist Model. This model, from every angle and direction it’s looked at, sucks. You’ve all heard it before, its maxim – anything goes between two consenting adults – and its one and only commandment – unless otherwise specified, no cheating. This relationship is interesting because it is simultaneously greater and worse... Read more
Now between the Pope not approving the use of condoms, the Bishops not saying that gay marriage is cool, World Youth Day and everything else, I’ve been reading a good deal of media coverage on the Catholic Church. Being an intuitive human being, I couldn’t help but notice some patterns in this coverage. Thus, in an effort to help the new journalist about to concoct his first article about the Church, I have developed a template for the perfect article... Read more
So there you have it. Share with all you friends, post on Facebook, or use it to bring your youth groups to Rio! Much love from room 228 in Louis dorm. Read more
…and we meet girls from Texas! I think this is the last video before I make a legit one that I need you all to share. There’s so much more to write about, but know time, we have a flight in something like 5 hours. Read more
“Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. … Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and ‘swept along by every wind of teaching,’ looks like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards.” B16 I still actually write! Check it out at: VirtuousPla.net Also, these videos are easy to make, and a lot of fun, but I’m making a legit one, full of interviews from around the world, for the... Read more
I have to apologize, because World Youth Day is currently happening, and then some, but the above video is pre-World Youth Day. Don’t you fret ye awful Catholics, I have the greatest footage ever filmed by man in store for you. When you see the smiling, beautiful faces of lively, joyful youth in the news, you must realize you’re missing a vital element of World Youth Day: The sheer exhaustion that we experience when the day is done. Our days... Read more
