Is this Satanic, or simply childish atheists mocking Christians during the holiest holidays of the year? Probably a bit of both. Having spent more than my share of time around smart, obnoxious atheists who enjoy nothing more than mocking the religious faith of others, I can imagine the late-night bull session with a bunch of […]
Hymns are a major source of our imaginative conception of the Christian faith. A good hymn focuses our mind on a memorable cluster of images that illuminate doctrine, preparing us to celebrate the liturgy or providing a respite during it. While the great hymn writers have often taken scripture as their starting point, they have not […]
The price of putting together an Easter basket has increased this year. Easter treats are up in price, thanks to the cost of cocoa. Cocoa prices have tripled over the past twelve months. The prices have doubled since the beginning of 2024. There is a bean disease in West Africa, where 70% of cocoa comes […]
The Lord is Risen! He is risen indeed Alleluia! Heres is an extra ‘fifteenth’ sonnet for Easter Morning, which I dedicate to my friend Mary who asked me to write it, and to the memory of her husband Gavin. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Later today I will publish another Easter […]
I’m old enough to remember when Democrats lectured everyone about protecting the environment and how evil Republicans wanted to lynch Mother Nature and roast all of the California condors.

Of course, we’re using the phrase “on the run” rather loosely because Moreno didn’t seem to making much of an effort to hide. He continued putting out “influencer” […]
Blinding light surrounds me. My eyes, grown old from endlessly straining in vain for light, begin to adjust. As they open, I see a man bearing a staff. “AWAKE O SLEEPER! ARISE FROM THE DEAD!” Editor’s Note: The following is based on a precious text of the Triduum, read as the second reading in the […]
New York City Mayor Eric Adams received a jailhouse baptism on Good Friday. The Rev. Al Sharpton performed the baptism. Adams was joined by a group of men incarcerated at Rikers Island jail. The baptism happened as Adams visited the jail complex. He was scheduled to meet with prisoners on Good Friday. “Having been arrested […]
Following the murder of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller this week there was a tremendous outpouring of both grief and anger, not just in the city but around the nation. This senseless loss of life at the hands of a career criminal once again focused people’s attention on the revolving door of “justice” created by Democratic […]
