Four-fold Gratitude
Just as every bishop has a genealogy—the long succession of men laying hands on men, who have in turn ordained others—every Christian has a genealogy. The difference is that ours is not nearly as crisp or well-documented!
The Eighth Station
The Eighth Station of the Cross isn’t ordered towards renewal and reward, rather, it carries a pall of apprehension and foreboding. Far from being words of comfort, anyone hearing them should be aghast, pondering what might be worse than the event those women were witnessing.
What are we hoping for in heaven?
Quite recently, I happened across a catechetical video asking people about what they imagined heaven to be like. But among the answers, not one had offered a single reference to entering the presence of God, of joining in the adoration of the Lamb, or even having the tremendous opportunity to whisper a “thank you!” to Jesus who made heaven possible for those who love him.

Head. Exploding.
California’s governor signed Senate Bill 132, which allows “transgender, non-binary and intersex people to be housed and searched in a manner consistent with their gender identity” — meaning that men are now being transitioned into into women’s prisons, allowing violent criminals to bunk with what in quaint terms use to be called the opposite sex.
Toxic Stereotypes
We have witnessed decades of feminist insisting that girls should have all options open to them, they shouldn’t be told to sit in the corner and play with dolls, and Being Yourself might mean shaving your head (and nothing else). Now along come the Storm Troopers for Team Trans telling us, ‘Move over, the monkey bars are for boys.’
Rethinking Bastille Day
Do we have what it takes to hold fast to the truth about the human person in the current culture? Can we witness boldly to “Male and female he made them”?
Just a few more days to register
A virtual conference is available for those unable to be in San Antonio, details here. It's been an odd summer thus far here in Connecticut, but I think the women of Texas will show me how it's done -- heat, that is! So looking forward to meeting my sisters in Christ...
