When the Hole Gets Heavy

Ladies and gentlemen. Cease your goings-about for a moment and assess your situation. Specifically, I ask you to ask yourself a question both blunt and incisive: "Am I lonely?"

Please, really, take a moment and search your heart. You might surprise yourself with your own answer.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

With all the hairs raised and spittle flying over "Obamacare," the Fortnight for Freedom, and the Supreme Court's decision regarding our health care system, a lot of people have made themselves look really bad by misunderstanding both the position of their opponents and, unfortunately enough, their OWN position.

Attention, Catholics! Do you want to grow massively in holiness? Do you long to kindle the great flames of piety and prayerfulness in your heart? Do you want to do this easily, quickly, and effectively, in one simple step? I submit to you an answer that will likely make every young Catholic cringe in despair and every Catholic parent pump their fist in glorious triumph: Clean your damn room.

Gentlemen, behold: I humbly present to you the Key to Women. But first, a word of caution, if I may.

Bored with the Gospel

I have a confession to make: as a rabid Catholic (nay, a Cathoholic), I tend to have episodes where I look down my nose in stuffy superiority at things Protestants are doing, as if they were children playing in a sandbox, in desperate need of a knowledgeable Catholic to swoop in and introduce them to REAL spirituality. This, of course, makes me a total jerk.
