Protestants, do you know why we Catholics go to reconciliation? Do you know why we confess our sins to a priest? I ask because lately I’ve been hearing a lot of complaint from you folks – mostly Evangelicals and Baptists – about “antiquated teaching”, “humiliation”, “unecessary guilt” and a whole lot of ruckus about some fellow named Jesus being the only mediator between God and man. Which is why I, the confessional’s most frequent visitor, have got some fightin’ words to throw down. The first are... Read more

Save me, O God!For the waters have come up to my neck. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Thank God for the honesty of the psalmist. He prays in a time of crisis. We, being flesh and bone creatures, are very much scared of crisis. Quite simply, we don’t want our mothers to die, our friends to have cancer, our cars to crash or our country to be attacked. But in the midst of all... Read more

Happy Sabbath! Hold your heads up high Roman Catholics, today you will receive the Holy Eucharist. Your venial sins will be melted away and you will be brought into the closest communion with God that you can experience while on Earth, and why? Because God wants you to. I thank God that I am not Protestant, not because they are not holy, but because I am not holy enough. I do not have the attention, the desire, the spiritual openness,... Read more

Ladies, Gentlemen, It is two in the freaking morning and I am exhausted, but can’t sleep. Never fun. I cannot possibly think of an organized post right now, so fasten your seat-belts, we are going to delve into my sub-concious, ADD-fueled thoughts. 1. About 20-25% of Americans are Catholic. Not enough, but no small number. Biggest denomination anyways, so take that! BUT 45-50% of the U.S Military is Catholic, a number clearly disproportionate to the population. What are we to... Read more

If the Christian walk is boring, chances are, you’re doing something wrong. I imagine if we got a true glimpse of the spiritual world, we’d never leave our rooms, the drama and adventure is so intense. I said before that Christianity is a battle; let me explain. To the casual onlooker, my prayer-time may look like me, in my room, with a slightly furrowed expression, muttering incoherently. But in actual fact, my guardian angel – James – is involved in... Read more

“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.” – G.K Chesterton I‘m not convinced of atheism, but I’m not half as skeptical of it as atheists are. The aggressive promotion of something NOT existing, if not pathologically insecure, is at least a little odd. For instance, I rarely work to set up a million dollar ad campaigns advocating the glory of life without unicorns, as the recent “Good Without God” campaign did... Read more

Everyone has a predominant sin, a sin they commit the most; an arch-enemy; any one of the 7 deadly sins. And realizing that sin, naming it, and deciding to work against it can be one of the most spiritually beneficial acts you do. For instance, I cannot win the battle against lust until I admit that my predominant sin is pride. I can try, sure, but the root of the problem is that I would rather sinfully disobey than humble myself to the will of... Read more

The following prayer was posted by a helpful commentor as a solid method of crushing sexual sin and any habitual sin. It is a prayer to Our Lady. How appropriate for us sinners to beg the intercession of her without sin. Our Lady is our greatest and most terrible weapon against Satan, for she shall crush his head with her heel.  Consecration Prayer to Our Lady of the Trinity of the three Hail Mary’s With all my heart I praise you... Read more

The following discussion I had with a few friends, all Terribly Bad Catholics, completely changed my life…for a week. Then I forgot it, moved on, started a blog and BAM! Here it is again. Now, if you feel entirely comfortable and versed in the concept of God being outside of time, you may skip the next three paragraphs, as they are about as gripping as an agnostic’s love poetry. Thou art fair, mayhaps, actually… I cannot knoweth, quite, so let’s not get married, until I’ve... Read more

I also think she was incredibly beautiful. The following woman has been accused of being the most shockingly dark, disturbingly vulgar, morbidly twisted, pessimistic, evil, sadistic lady America has seen. In actual fact, she was very probaly the holiest, most fervent Catholic you’ll hear about. This holiness allowed her writing to be truly dark, twisted, sadistic and all the rest, because only holiness can recognize evil and call it by it’s name. Evil likes to be sly, to appear as good, to breeze by us, not to... Read more
