The Vatican has announced that it is closing the canonization cause for Fr Walter Ciszek. If you don’t know about Fr Ciszek, I encourage you to read his book, With God in Russia. As for the cause of his canonization, I don’t trouble myself about the inner workings of the Vatican concerning things like beatifying potential saints. I know that it can take hundreds of years for a saint to finally be canonized. St Thomas More is an example. He... Read more
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. Proverbs 12:22a Trump’s idiotic, unnecessary, costly, and 100% failed Iran War shows Americans one thing. If we ever get into a war with someone who has the military power to really hurt us and Trump is our Commander in Chief, We. Are. Toast. Trump has lost his war with Iran in every way you can lose a war without actually having your home country invaded and bombed down to dust. After all... Read more
Racism is a life issue because it directly attacks human dignity and threatens life, similar to abortion or euthanasia. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops The United States Supreme Court overturned the requirement for equal representation in the Voting Rights Act of 1964. The Supreme Court, by doing this, also overturned 60 years of previous Supreme Court rulings that gave teeth to the 14th Amendments’ requirements for equal protection under the law and equal representation in government for black...

Pope Leo’s prayer intention for May 2026 is especially pointed for Americans. The Holy Father asks us to pray that the no one would suffer starvation in this world of plenty. He specifically asks us to pray for food banks and aid efforts which seek to provide food for those who do not have enough. We live in a time when the President of the United States has unilaterally chosen to defund USAID. This move sentenced hundreds of thousands of... Read more
When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops I’m posting this now instead of when it came out for the simple reason that I had so much to write about that I couldn’t get it in before now. JD Vance responded to Trump’s mockery of Christ and his... Read more
Pope Leo’s brother was the target of a bomb threat yesterday. Police evacuated homes surrounding John Prevost’s house before sending in bomb squads to search the Prevost residence. Once the area was cleared, residents were allowed to return to their homes. This was not the home of Louis Prevost, Pope Leo’s brother who Trump said was “all MAGA” in his first attack on our Holy Father. I don’t think that Donald Trump was involved with this threat in any direct... Read more
Trump has mis-used his power to broaden his attacks on the Catholic Church. Catholic Charities receives federal monies through grants and state health and human service contracts for providing social welfare aid to poverty stricken people. Much of this is contractual. In what appears to be a blatant reprisal against the Catholic Church, Trump has abruptly terminated a contract with Catholic Services in Miami that provides aid to children. Make no mistake about it. This is the act of an... Read more
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into the darkness and filth. Pope Leo XIV, April 16, 2026 Trump posted another meme degrading Jesus yesterday. This one had Jesus holding Trump in His arms. I took a screenshot of it for you. Here it is. Notice that in this one, Trump appeals to the divisions in our society to align Jesus with... Read more
Years ago, my sister and brother-in-law woke in the middle of the night to strange sounds coming from their dining room. My Vietnam veteran, career police officer brother-in-law went to check. What he found was a large, mature copperhead snake that had managed to wriggle into the house through a crack in their patio door. I don’t know if my brother-in-law was scared. He never said. But that snake was enraged and terrified. It struck repeatedly with killer force —... Read more
I’m not afraid of the Trump administration or of speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel, which is what the Church works for. Pope Leo XIV Trump doesn’t like Pope Leo. Trump is trying to force Pope Leo to fall down and worship Trump, not Jesus. Trump wants Pope Leo to be a Catholic Franklin Graham. Trump wants the Catholic bishops to be a whole chorus of Paula Whites. Trump wants to suck you and me and... Read more
