Altar Serving is For Boys Because Saying Mass is a Man’s Job
September 20, 2023
Some of the “ways” are just for men, and because of that we need to allow a space that is just for boys, and every Catholic Church has that space, that workshop, in the sanctuary.
A Morning Mass
October 15, 2019
It is a Saturday morning. I wake while it is still dark and blindly shuffle into my clothes. My children sleep. The world is still as I step into the chill morning air to attend the early morning Low Mass at the Abbey of Our Lady of Clear Creek. I arrive at the monastery while […]
Make Catholicism Weird Again: On Consumerism and Authentic Faith
August 8, 2019
Recently, a Pew Research survey cataloged the almost complete collapse of the faith in the United States. The facts are devastating. Only 26% of Catholics under forty in the U.S. believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the holy Eucharist. If the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith, the fountain from […]
Neo-Paganism and Catholic Mystery
June 21, 2018

The Case for a Mass Conversion of Men
April 21, 2015
Despite the fact the New Evangelization has been an ongoing emphasis by the Catholic Church for over forty years, it has failed to stem the disastrous losses of the faithful in the U.S. Since 2000, 14 million Catholics have left the faith, parish religious education participation of children has dropped by 24%, Catholic school attendance […]
The Four Ends of Mass
October 17, 2014
“It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do without Holy Mass.” – St. Padre Pio After a talk I gave a while ago, a young man came to me with a question. “I think I’m a good Catholic,” he began, “but I don’t go to mass. I hear […]
