I have a new/old piano. Despite the fact that multiple internet sources essentially tell me that someone my age is wasting their time to do this, I’m taking piano lessons for the first time. It came about like this. I’ve always wanted to learn the play the piano. I love music. I have what you might call an eclectic collection of music on my iPhone, ranging from classical to country. I just love good music. But one type of music... Read more

I’ve put together a few bits and pieces of Pope Francis’ living testimony on gay marriage, abortion and the sanctity of human life. These homilies, letters and actions form a consistent, faithful, Catholic message going back years and extending up to yesterday morning. The Church is going to be attacked. We need look at these attacks with discernment instead of hysteria. There is no reason to allow ourselves to be blown this way and that by every bit of... Read more
Do not be afraid little flock, for the Father has chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom. Jesus Christ Have you ever had someone take everything you say and twist it to make it mean something else? I have. I once had a family member who did this, and she made my life a living hell. There. Was. No. Winning. I’ve also had little armies of advocate ants crawling all over me for years. Most of these advocate ants were... Read more
What if our media had been around to cover the Jesus story? How would they have spun it? Here are a few ideas.

The most interesting thing about Pope Francis’ interview with America magazine is not the interview itself (although that is fascinating reading); it’s the fact that everyone in the press is talking/writing about it. If you ever believed any of those claims that the Church is irrelevant, I offer you the CBS/NBC/ABC/NEWYORKTIMES/HUFFINGTONPOST/ETC/ETC/ETC reaction to every little word that comes out of Pope Francis’ mouth. Make no mistake about it folks, the Catholic Church matters. Why? Because, whether they will admit it or... Read more
Pope Francis gave an extensive interview to America Magazine, which you can find here. The New York Times did an extensive re-write of this interview, which you can find here. Just for the record, the Holy Father did not say what the New York Times is claiming. The Times took quotes out of context, and re-interpreted them along the lines of the secular gospel. What the Pope said is simple, clear and obvious Christian teaching that the Church has proclaimed... Read more
