Meet Catholic Sci-Fi Author Karina Fabian

Last updated on: March 19, 2026 at 4:38 pm By Mark Wilson

I love the fact that many Catholic men and women have the gift of assembling words of the English language and constructing them into paragraphs that convey a story or essay reflecting the Catholic faith in some way shape or form. I sent out a blog post asking different catholic authors to answer some questions about Catholic writing and their particular writing in general. The second one to submit to me a written interview was the queen of Catholic Sci-Fi... Read more

The Battle is on During Lent

Last updated on: March 12, 2026 at 11:59 pm By Guest Contributor

Last week Kristin and I went to a Simon and Garfunkel Tribute band called Simon and Garfunkel Through the Years performed by a couple of guys from the U.K.. While we were there, low and behold the deacon from our church was there at the concert also. He tends to pop up sometimes when we go out somewhere fun or on an errand in different towns of the small state of Rhode Island. We’ve gone to Stop and Shop and... Read more

55 Years Ago, I Was Baptized

Last updated on: February 21, 2026 at 9:07 am By Mark Wilson

By the grace of God, I’ve made it 55 years on this planet. Half a Century and Half another decade. I probably won’t make it another 55 years but will try to make the next several days, weeks, months, years, decades the best that I can. I’ve enjoyed life up until now and I am curious to see what is next. Close to my physical birth was my spiritual birth. When the priest poured water on my head and said... Read more

Why Certain People Protest ICE

Last updated on: February 16, 2026 at 8:18 am By Mark Wilson

Sometimes I find individuals who express ideas I believe in, in ways that I wish I could express myself. I want to share these profound thoughts with others because they are adequately saying something important that will benefit others and I wish I had written myself. I can’t plagiarize and pass their thoughts off as my own and sometimes it is time consuming to reword things that were already written well. Fortunately for me sometimes these individuals will allow me... Read more
