Coming after the Children - Manifestations of the Demon of "Pride"
This article is particularly aimed at parents and grandparents, the shepherds of our children in an age of evil.
I have been preparing my thoughts for a few parish talks on the plight of the youth and spiritual warfare recently.
Providentially, several disturbing articles have appeared at the same time, each describing elements of the systematic manipulation of the minds and hearts of the youth. Kids like to attend parades and it seems the culture is trying desperately to get them to attend ...

Fear - The Crushing Hammer of Satan
"In the world, you will only find tribulation; but take courage, I have overcome the world."
John 16:33
As in the monumental scene in the cinematic portrayal of Lord of the Rings, the evil character looked upon the White City, the “City of Kings,” and grinned, stating, “Fear – the city is rank with it!”
This fear, which his demonic capabilities allowed him to detect, meant that the city, once righteous and undefeatable, was now ready to be destroyed.
And how did this great city become paraly...

Hold Fast
Be a friend of Christ, a friend of His Cross - lean on Him, and He will make this journey sweet in the midst of bitter. ~~~~~
Sometimes, a sober reminder is helpful.
As I work on completing a new writing project (no announcement yet!), I stumbled across this little reflection that I wrote when working on my spiritual warfare manual for youth and their parents. I have touched it up here a bit and I hope it is helpful, to you or to someone you know:
If you have in your mind that the Christian ...

Spiritual Warfare - The Way to Peace
Spiritual warfare, well fought, will lead us into that peace which the world cannot give, but which Our Lord Jesus Christ alone can impart. If you let Our Lord cast away your enemies, heal your wounds, and strengthen you with His grace, you will obtain His peace.

Spiritual warfare is the lens through which we can most properly and thoroughly understand the Catholic Faith. Most people overlook the passage, and the others like it, that says, For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that He m...

Podcast Discussion on "The Big Parade - Transitioning to Hell" - with Deacon Geoff Bennett
Recently, I posted an article on the significance of the modern culture's descent into moral madness, specifically how this ties people to the Kingdom of Satan.There are many images and considerations in that article that I think people need to mull over, lest, with the wool over their eyes, they unconsciously join the "Big Parade" marching to perdition.
Deacon Geoff Bennett of Respect Life Radio picked up the article and reached out to record a podcast on it. We had a great conversation. It is...

The "Big Parade" - Transitioning to Hell
We are now too familiar with a modern usage of the term "transitioning." As it, in this case, connects us to the idea that we can craft and control our own realities, I find it appropriate to be used here to stir the mind to the consideration of the eternal fruits of our modern progressive culture.

Important Correction - Fr. Ripperger says "25% of Population Suffers from Diabolical Obsession," Not Possession
An Important Correction
A recent article from Church Militant unfortunately portrayed Fr. Ripperger's teaching on the prevalence of possession incorrectly. The article presented a much more extreme view of the spiritual malady which oppresses our world today. In that article, it was erroneously stated that Fr. Ripperger said, "Over 20% of the general population are 'perfectly possessed'."
This is not correct. While mortal sin opens us to the influence of the diabolical and to the pote...

Slaying Dragons - Glossy vs Matte
As a self-publisher, I have my book established in two systems, in order for the book to reach as far and wide as possible.
My first stop was Amazon/KDP - a very easy process to launch an Indy-press book.
It was recommended that I also publish my book through IngramSpark, which distributes much further throughout the world, and also provides a good royalty on my book sales. IngramSpark allows booksellers, bookstores, and distributors to buy wholesale and resell the book in their system. This has...
