- Disclaimer! "It is too true that I who write about the devout life am not myself devout, but most certainly I am not without the wish to become so, and it is this wish which encourages me to teach you. A notable literary man has said that a good way to learn is to study, a better to listen, and the best to teach. And Saint Augustine, writing to the devout Flora, says, that giving is a claim to receive, and teaching a way to learn." --St. Francis de Sales

Gone Readin’ Helena by Evelyn Waugh
Why haven’t I been posting much lately? You can blame Fr. Steve Grunow, who suggested the book you see above to me a few days ago. I’ve never read anything by Evelyn Waugh, and I’m not ashamed to say that … Continue reading
A Modest Proposal: Treat Priests Like Officers, Not Like Corporate CEO’s
“Soldier, shut up and soldier!” That’s one of my favorite lines from Robert Heinlein’s novel Starship Troopers. You might remember that it was made into a campy, sci-fi cult movie back in the late 1990’s. I remember it as a … Continue reading
For All the Saints: John Chrysostom
Today is the feast of St. John Chrysostom, Doctor of the Church. Of course, there was a little snippet on him over at Universalis and sundry other places, like here. But my curiosity gets the best of me, see, and I want … Continue reading
Because This Makes Me Speechless
And to whom have ye likened me, or made me equal, saith the Holy One? Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these things: who bringeth out their host by number, and calleth them all by … Continue reading
Because the Church is Paradoxically Intolerant and Tolerant
This isn’t the first post I’ve written on paradoxes of the Catholic faith, nor will it be the last. Remember the one on the Church being paradoxically consistent (and vice versa)? Or how about the one on the “Master of … Continue reading
The Fig Harvest Begins!
And Amos answered and said to Amasias:”I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.” Ok, so they’re cultivated in my case. Either way, here at Casa del … Continue reading
