Today, March 19 is the feast of St. Joseph, the man chosen by God to be the foster father of His Divine Son. As St. Joseph is my favorite saint, as well as the saint whose name I chose at my confirmation, I thought it would be appropriate to offer a few, brief reflections on … Continue reading A Meditation on St. Joseph

The Rise of Marxist Education in America: A Book Review of Takedown by Paul Kengor
In his latest work, Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left has Sabotaged Family and Marriage, Paul Kengor argues that twenty-first century Americans, with their unprecedented decision to redefine marriage, have unwittingly given to leftist radicals a kind of superweapon with which to finally dispatch their longtime mortal enemies, the family and the Church. The … Continue reading The Rise of Marxist Education in America: A Book Review of Takedown by Paul Kengor
“Say your Catholic prayers every day, or you will lose your faith”
It’s no secret that Catholics in the 21st century are often confused and frustrated by the dismal situation in their Church. With the clergy sexual abuse scandal, high-ranking prelates participating in drug-fueled orgies, mortal sin and sacrilege being normalized, and now the apparent selling out of faithful Chinese Catholics to their atheistic, mass-murdering persecutors by … Continue reading “Say your Catholic prayers every day, or you will lose your faith”
Can Anything Stop the Good Times?
“Can Anything Stop the Good Times?” asked a recent Wall Street Journal article in which its writers went on to discuss the extremely optimistic attitudes exhibited by bankers and business executives at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

God’s Got This
This Christmas Eve will mark the two-year anniversary of my massive brain hemorrhage and 36-day hospitalization. While I am now 100% recovered, it’s a severe understatement to say that things didn’t look good for me in the hours and days that followed my “incident.” My dad, who is himself a medical professional, took one look … Continue reading God’s Got This
The Beauty of the Requiem Mass
“THAT day of wrath, that dreadful day, shall heaven and earth in ashes lay, as David and the Sybil say. What horror must invade the mind when the approaching Judge shall find and sift the deeds of all mankind!” With its black vestments, omitted Gloria, and repeated invocations for mercy on the souls of the … Continue reading The Beauty of the Requiem Mass

Belle Plaine, Minnesota is a town of just under 7,000 residents, yet this past year it found itself in the national spotlight due to a religious controversy that has become an all-too-common story.
