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.

Tidying Up

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.

Why Catholicism Doesn't Make Sense

For nearly two thousand years, the question of Catholicism has buggered many of the world's greatest minds. Specifically, the question in question is: Is it real? Is it possible that this might be the truth about God, or is it all some kind of diabolical invention to lead men astray? Does it even make sense?

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.
