Attention these days is focused by many school teachers, most journalists, and the entire woke-culture solely on the negative-connected history of Christopher Columbus and not on his positive achievements. This has resulted in Columbus’s legacy being “canceled” by our politically correct society. Instead of cancelling Columbus, we should restore his reputation and resurrect his historical accomplishments. It... Continue Reading →
Set Aside Race; Don’t Highlight It
Two ideologies that quickly grew in American society this past century have been "critical race theory" and the "black lives matter" movement. Unfortunately, these belief systems helped fuel today's noticeable division among many people, as they propagandized the fallaciousness of dividing the world into color and into oppressed groups and their oppressors. Both critical race... Continue Reading →
You Don’t Eat Spaghetti With Your Fingers
How are an Italian dinner and a medieval knighting ceremony related to the reception of Holy Communion? One can eat spaghetti and meatballs with his or her fingers, but it is less messy to eat with a fork and place the food directly in the mouth. A king can grant knighthood by placing a sword on the shoulder of... Continue Reading →
Pray the Rosary With Your Family Year-Round
Although praying the Rosary is sometimes only thought of during the months of May (the month of Mary) and October (the month of the Rosary), it would be great if it becomes every Catholic's year-round practice. Furthermore, the Rosary can be incorporated into a family practice that includes any children old enough to recite a... Continue Reading →

This has been amplified in recent times due to a majority of parents being too permissive, ignorant, and/or lazy in allowing their child unmonitored access to these devices. There is a need...

The Truths About Feminism and Masculinity – Part 2
The Catechism states that all men and all women are created with equal dignity and are loved equally by God. What is does not say is that men and women are created equal, as in “one and the same.” A male’s and a female’s equality is in their worth and dignity, not in their capability or biology. As...

The Truths About Feminism and Masculinity – Part 1
Authentic Catholics do not agree with hard-core feminism, so-called toxic masculinity, and society’s intent to feminize males. We reject these views because they undermine both the natural and supernatural roles of men and women. Catholics are to uphold the natural order of the sexes not because it is the old-fashioned thing to believe, but because... Continue Reading →
Taking a Counter-Cultural Stance Is Difficult But Doable
What Scripture and Jesus called “the world,” our generation calls “the culture.” Both refer to the society’s values, customs, and social behavior that end up often being corrupt, constituting a coordinated rebellion against God. Christ encouraged us to not let the world manipulate us to turn away from Him. Our Lord made the following statement... Continue Reading →
