Afraid of the Coronavirus?

Maybe you know someone who has died from the virus, or someone who lost their livelihood due to the lockdown. Many are wondering when they can safely go out again, or when they can they go back to Mass.

How to Deal with Ruined Plans

Father Mark-Mary and Father Malachy, like most of us in these times, have experienced broken plans first hand recently. Father Malachy wasn’t sure when his ordination would happen, and if it did how many people would be allowed to come. After waiting twelve years, his dreams about his ordination were shattered.

The Validity of Vatican II

The second Vatican council was an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church hosted over several years and presided over by 2 popes (John XIII & Paul VI).

Up until this point in the Church’s history, councils were called in order to resolve some controversy as in someone’s been teaching something that is creating confusion and debate and so the Church needs to gather to prayerfully consider it and offer a clarification.

Are Soulmates a Thing?

Many of us have heard, or have been part of, beautiful love stories that make us believe in the existence of “the one”. We say, the way everything lines up to bring these two together, and/or the things they have in common make it obvious: they must be soul mates.

When People Annoy You

We all have pet peeves. We all get annoyed by things that really don’t matter much, whether it’s someone chewing with their mouth open, or someone whispering the Rosary in an Adoration chapel—which are two things that used to be pet peeves for Fr.

Official statistics for the number of abortions that had taken place in Ireland during 2019, which amounted to 6,666, were released by the Irish government on 30th June 2020. The brief report was met with criticism by the Irish Catholic Bishops, and pro-life groups, but few others including the main stream media responded in a similar manner.

The Remarkable Story of Joseph the Carpenter

Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus Christ, is perhaps one of the most overlooked characters in the life of the Saviour and the story of the Nativity. Yet, there is no question that Joseph left a powerful impact on Jesus, Mary, and their other children. He was a man of solid conviction. His love for Mary, the mother of Jesus, is unmatched. Because Joseph’s story is only covered in four chapters of the Bible and he most likely died before the ministry of the Saviour, we often gloss over him, and sadly miss the powerful witness he left of his adopted son, the Messiah of the world.

Bishop Barron on Canceling Padre Serra

Friends, the entire effort to erase the memory of St. Junípero Serra is from a historical standpoint ridiculous and from a moral standpoint more than a little frightening. When we see mobs of people tearing down and desecrating statues of a great Catholic saint, how can we not see the ugly spectre of anti-Catholicism raising its head?
