Whilst it is necessary to call people out who are supposed to be conscientiously driven by personal moral and public integrity but end up doing a disservice to their own apostolic witness such as has been seen in the previous post on Bishop Robert Barron, there are other moments when we need to give proper…
Robert Barron: Just Another Rich Man Amongst Innumerable Lazaruses?
https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-voices/why-does-bishop-barron-keep-attacking-pope-francis-allies How arrogant he is for castigating the initial step of sharing the Good News, the first tentative but nevertheless essential step in the conversion process! Without this step, you cannot have a process as all processes begin somewhere. The first step is perhaps just as vital as the last and final step, just as…
The Pain of the Trauma over Scare-Mongering about ‘Missed Opportunities’.
Who wouldn't be fazed by this? You could hardly be called human not to be..... After all, opportunities in life to love and to do the best we can for the glory of God, and the wellbeing of life need to be able to be properly recognized for what they are so they can be…
My Appraisal & Critique of EWTN Live’s Take on Critical Race Theory
Introduction This whole area of analysis need not be hijacked by nihilistic relativist ideologues and it is our job as faith-bearing people to prevent this onslaught upon academic integrity and indeed that of civil society politics by standing our ground against this new breed of so-called woke ideological bullying and essentially take back the territory…
The Intra-Church Secularism behind Calvary Hospital’s State Government Take-Over
https://www.abc.net.au/religion/act-takeover-of-calvary-hospital-overrides-freedom-of-conscience/102356586 Sounds like a stupid takeover by pro-abortion ideologues in Canberra's state government.

An Anecdotal Commentary on the Ecumenical Thematics of Sir Charles Windsor’s Swearing-In Ceremony

And So Easter Is Upon Us
It would do us well to meditate on this scene: For this says much about how our days have been, both leading up to this time, and now that we are in it, this scene has much to teach us about the time we are in. It shows us that there is an intricate relationship…
A Mother’s Love & The Sign of Contradiction
This was originally written during Lent as a meditation reflection for the lead-up to Easter. I have discerned the need to publish it here to demonstrate how crucial the insights and graces we receive during Lent actually are in relation to how we comprehend the experience and meaning of Easter. Today, Saturday 11th March I…
