Ordinary Old Catholic Me
There are lots of Catholics like me out there. We are lifelong practitioners of a certain age, folks who remember Pre-Vatican Two and were thrown into the deep end of Post-Vatican Two where we still swim. We are well read, but we are not theologians. We need to stick together so that we can navigate the tides of modern life which are probably just as choppy as they were 2000 years ago. Ordinary Old Catholic Me is Ordinary Old Catholic You. Let‘s walk together!

Saturday Apr 13, 2024
Newman said "To be steeped in history is to cease to be Protestant." That's another way of saying that to be steeped in history is to be Catholic. But maybe more than that to be steeped in history is to cease to be an unbeliever of any stripe. But to become steeped in history means diverging from pre-conceptions and taking the leap to inquiry. There is a lot to look at and to absorb.

Things look so dark in the times in which we find ourselves. It has ever been thus, but God is there, the Word is there having been crucified and risen and ascended and will not leave us adrift---we are not forsaken, ever.

Because the Church Said So
Saturday Nov 25, 2023
Saturday Nov 25, 2023
Does it make sense for Catholics to disregard the dogma and doctrine from the small to the great theological issues? Here is the small question that got me going on this subject today. A caller to a Catholic Radio show who felt that certain restrictions on music were unfair, and well, who voted on this?

Last weekend I dove, as it were, into the Rules for Discernment of Spirits at a Seminar at St. Peter Chanel Church with the wonderful, brilliant and humble Fr. Tim Gallagher. What a blessing! I just want to share a little with you, and encourage you to explore! There is plenty of source material and spiritually educational tools. A way to Consolation and a bulwark against Desolation!

Struggle. Struggle. That's all sometimes I seem to do? How about you? The world around us is so profoundly difficult, in small and of course in the large things barrelling toward us. It gets to be overwhelming, and I lose the trail to God. It is critical to keep looking toward Him, no matter what. I tell that to myself, and to you!
