Dear Lonely One, I see you. Holding yourself together in the corner in back of the Church, frantically rocking your babies in the front row, sitting at home because it hurt too much last time. I see you struggling and doing your best. I see you when they speak cruel words to you and it... Continue Reading →
I think the hardest part of the attack on the Capitol for me has been the constant deluge of posts dismissing anyone who is upset about it. From a parody on the parable to “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” to comments about self-righteousness, to posts about how if you are... Continue Reading →
I could not bring myself to do my review of 2020 until today. Something in me was too afraid of what I would see or wouldn’t see. A little while ago I looked back and I saw a letter I wrote at the beginning of the year and I begged God for peace and justice... Continue Reading →
In case you were still thinking Trump was some kind of savior, I would just like to point out to you that he is actively trying to overturn a vote that has been proven fair.

Last election, I heard a homily that was incredibly frustrating for me because it didn't teach Church teaching correctly and it insinuated that people were evil if they do not vote the way the priest thought they should. It was an extremely difficult moment for my faith. This year, bishops are starting to send out... Continue Reading →
Lord, have mercy on them. Many of my followers are angry and hurt by the way Trump has handled the coronavirus. So am I. My sense of justice and irony in storytelling is making this particular information extremely difficult to process. If this were in a movie or a book, it would be perfect. But... Continue Reading →
