Many couples have been helped by a book called Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs. It was written in 2004 by Emerson Eggerichs, a non-Catholic but Christian author. Here’s the basic online description: Women primarily need love, whereas men primarily need respect. Husbands and wives are wired differently, so misunderstandings often arise not from malice, but from missing the other’s core need. According to Eggerichs, the “Crazy Cycle” is when a wife feels unloved, she reacts in ways that feel disrespectful to her husband. In response, he reacts in ways that feel unloving to her, causing a destructive cycle. The “Energizing Cycle,” on [...]
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.—St. John 20:19-20. Notice in the above passage about the Resurrection, Christ is able to walk through walls (hence, the doors being locked and yet He comes to the disciples.) But the reason we know this is not a ghost passing through the walls is precisely because St. John [...]

In my last article Debating Protestants, I discussed how and why I used to debate Protestants on a nearly-daily basis with open-Bible verse-wars when I was in my early 20s. After learning that these verse-wars rarely make converts, I learned the best way to disprove Protestantism is by simply overturning their completely non-Biblical notion of Sola Scriptura. The little pamphlet in the above picture is called Scripture Alone? 21 Reasons to Reject Sola Scriptura by Mr. Joel Peters. It is the very best book I have ever seen to aid Catholics in immediately sidelining the intellectual errors of Protestantism. But it's very difficult to find on the internet now. Thus, I [...]
Happy Easter, Christ is Risen! Christ is Truly Risen! Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! As you probably know, I currently spend more time attacking the heresy of Modernism than Protestantism. Why? Because the former is a cancer that any traditionalist Catholic will admit is more hidden, ubiquitous and destructive than the latter. So, I will keep defending the original Apostolic Faith against modernists who control the buildings. But I first cut my teeth on defending the True Faith by doing open-Bible debates with Protestants in my world travels starting 30 years ago. Before getting to how I did this, let’s define terms. Even National Geographic or a secular Social Studies book [...]

p/c University of Notre Dame. Doubtless by this point you have seen the news of massive amounts of conversions of non-Catholic young adults coming into American Catholic parishes. This news has been covered by both religious outlets as well as secular ones. Many of these conversions are in unlikely places, like New York City. NCR/EWTN recently reported on a Dominican parish in lower Manhattan serving NYU: "88 people received the sacraments of baptism or confirmation at the Easter vigil this year." Part of this was due to current events: "Many of those coming into the Church, he said, have told him that conservative Christian influencer Charlie Kirk’s murder had a [...]
Happy Easter, Christ is Risen! Christ is Truly Risen! Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! The above picture is me praying in Croatia this spring of 2026 at the tomb of Blessed Aloysius Cardinal Stepinac. He was the Archbishop of Zagreb starting in 1937. The Cardinal was poisoned by the Communists in the 1950s. He died a slow death from that and died in 1960. He was declared a martyr for the faith. Switch topics for a minute. The old school Jesuits and Franciscans who were missionaries in the New World sent records back to the Old World of conversions and baptisms. This wasn’t so much to brag as to stay accountable [...]
