Have you read and enjoyed Gargoyle Code? Would you like to get some good books into the hands of your parishioners and raise funds at the same time? Write to me at [email protected] and I’ll tell you how. It’s very simple: Because The Gargoyle Code and Slubgrip Instructs are self published I control the pricing. I can offer you and your parish or study group a significant discount on orders of twenty-five or more books. You can then sell the books at whatever... Read more

There is a double yearning in me, and I suspect it is pretty much universal, and that is to be both a hobbit and a hermit. Give me the hobbit’s life of adventure. I want to shrug on my backpack, pick up my stick and set off on the open road. I want to sleep rough with nothing but the freedom of the quest. Give me dragons to fight and giants to tilt. I’ll set off with a gang of... Read more

Tens of thousands of baby rabbits have swamped downtown Washington DC today. Flooding out of the Verizon Center and many other venues across the nation’s capital hoards of little bunnies marched through the streets protesting against government plans to cull the rabbit population through abortion. For some years now Catholics and other Christians continue to “breed like rabbits” thus threatening the culture of death and the US government funded death programs. A representative of government funded death squads called PE... Read more

A good number of Catholics are getting worked up by Pope Francis’ habit of giving informal interviews on airplanes. It was worrying me too, but I’m beginning to see the advantages of what he’s doing. This week’s article for Aleteia explains my thinking on the matter: When the pope meets with journalists on the plane the atmosphere is informal. He takes questions and answers them off the cuff. He feels free to shoot from the hip and speak from the... Read more

Pope Francis has several times indicated that his will not be a long papacy.  During the press conference on his flight back from Korea he spoke about Pope Benedict’s retirement and said, “I would do the same. I would do the same. I will pray, but I would do the same. He [Benedict] opened a door that is institutional not exceptional.” Realizing that he is seventy seven years old, Pope Francis also spoke to reporters about his awareness that his... Read more

During the month of January take advantage of a special pre-publication offer on my new book Slubgrip Instructs–the sequel to my previous Lent book The Gargoyle Code. In The Gargoyle Code master tempter Slubgrip writes daily to trainee devil Dogwart–advising him on the temptation of a confused young Catholic, while he struggles to control his own ‘patient’–an older man who is facing a serious illness. Having been betrayed and sent down, Slubgrip now finds himself sentenced to teach Popular Culture 101 at Bowelbages University. His... Read more
