"Love is worth more than intelligence" So, it is on this front that I completely and wholeheartedly agree with the Holy Father's position here. And especially when it comes to those aspects of life that are to some extent, drawn…
Love versus Lust
Real, authentic God-breathed love is the antithesis of lust whereas lust is the polar inverse of love. The world, too many times, misconstrues love for lust and vice-versa. The proper definition of love is rightly ordered passion, passion that directs itself in the direction of purity of both heart and intention or will. The proper…
Because Jesus is God….

He already knows EVERYTHING. So the whole issue about this erroneous idea that during the first 30 years of His life, Jesus went to India or Tibet to learn from Hindu and Buddhist teachings is nothing short of preposterous and absurd.…
What A Most Beautiful Message!
Today I received a truly inspiritive newsletter from EWTN about the Feast of Candlemas, where in Catholic tradition, we honour the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple along with the Purification of Mary. In some Christmas traditions, particularly those from the Germanic/Slavic lands of Central, South, East, and North Eastern Europe, this day signals…
Do You Welcome Change or Resist it?
St Paul was asked this same question by our Lord when he was on the road to Damascus. Stubborn and hard-heartedly willful, he was ready to forcefully repress the bold and ostentacious moves of God because of his position in the "golden snood" of the-then contemporary religious tradition and zealously proud conventional thought-patterns held high…
Full of Grace and Truth
This is Christmas! “Now, Lord, come to our aid! Grant us peace, teach us peace; guide our steps in the way of peace. Open our eyes and our hearts, and give us the courage to say: ‘Never again to war!’; ‘With war everything is lost’. Instil in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps…

Sorry to Rock the Boat & Roll the Apple Cart….But These Spanish Bishops are Wrong! 😆

It is here that I intend to contest that assertion…
Again, I’m Blown Away….
Again, I'm blown away how amazingly similar alot of what I am discovering through reading Pope Francis' Dilexit Nos ¹ is thematically, to much of what I have so far discovered about Paul Tournier's beautiful masterpiece The Gift of Feeling. ² Just take a look at this, in paragraph 20, the Holy Father states: "In…
Bring Back Fish on Fridays!

A large part of the reason why there has been so much falling away, so much secularization of Catholics generally whereby they have turned from being true, passionate & authentic into feebly nominal Catholics, not to mention Sunday pew-warmers at best! - has to do with the abandonment of…
