So there I was, sipping on Nyquil, when it was brought to my attention that the video I made had approximately a bajillion views, which written in numbers looks something like 3,330, give or take a few zeros. So I said to myself, “Self. This might mean a few thousand/million newcomers to your blog!” to which my self responded, “Hey! Brilliant deduction, big guy!” So I figured, goodness, what better way to welcome such lost and frightened individuals then to... Read more
I am currently ill, and am happy to say a certain Paul Fahey has taken up the task of actually writing something. It is reasoned, wonderful and far more structured than anything I’ve managed to put down. Enjoy the second guest post BadCatholic has seen, and remember I’m always willing to put up anything reader’s write, unless they are advocating liturgical dancing. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up... Read more
Here’s the video I made about the March For Life/Youth Rally. Enjoy! Read more
Part of what’s great about being Catholic is that it makes things deeper. For instance, I was giving blood at my high-school the other day, and, happily watching it drip from my veins into a bag, I remembered that I had gone to mass that morning. Then that blew my mind, because I drank the blood of God at mass, which was assumedly running through the same veins that now had needles sticking out of them, giving blood. The sacrifice...

Hello friends, enemies and those passing through with mild indifference and/or interest! I marched for life yesterday! Actually scratch that, I bus-rode for life, went to mass for life, rocked out with Matt Maher for life, got up really unbelievably freaking early and drank a lot of coffee for life, rocked out to some Ike for life, went to mass AGAIN for life, then marched for life, which can really only be accurately described as partying while moving slowly for...

Wear a hairshirt. Get a backpack full of rocks and run to your church. Organize a Eucharistic procession through the streets of your town. Build a massive bonfire in honor of an obscure saint you found on the Internet in your backyard. Because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this world has gotten boring, and could use some Catholics violently expressing their faith. For example, check out this story that I posted on facebook awhile back. What coolness. That... Read more
“When the revolution happens you won’t read about it in the newspapers.” It is a sad state of affairs, when battles fierce and important are politicized into meaningless drivel. The best way to ruin a good fight is to let the media lock it into a stalemate, and to publicize the whole situation as a social phenomena – an example of differing views. From the level of discussion the media grants the abortion debate, you’d think we were arguing over a tax... Read more
I‘m not usually big on sharing spiritual experiences, but I figure I should follow my own advice as explained in the Joyful Mysteries post, and let you guys know about something beautiful. I was on a retreat last weekend, and it was fantastic. My friends and I were leaders, goodness knows why, instructed to bring kids closer to God. Part of the retreat was handing out spiritually affirming letters written by our parents, friends and leaders. Basically, it was a time to... Read more
Frank Weathers, from the ever brilliant and ever holy blog Why I Am Catholic, was brave enough to let me guest post about why I personally am Catholic. I am immensely grateful to him. go HERE if thou pleaseth. Or stay right here and check out the newest SprayMarian installment, that highly noble institution. Whatever you do, know that your Lord loves you, that the whole Church is behind you, that our Mother is interceding for you, and that nothing but... Read more
So in case you missed it, I work in a violently religious fast food setting. To keep you updated, and happy, I bring to you the following absolutely real excerpts. You saw them here first, bad Catholics. My Korean friend: (behind me, making food) “So what about babies that die before being baptized, do they go to hell?”Me: (washing dishes) “No, because they are innocent and God is merciful.”Her: “I agree.”Me: “Same with adults.”Her: “What?”Me: “You know, if an adult...
