In the Father’s Vineyard

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew: Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o’clock, the landowner saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you... Read more

How to be a Catholic Social Media Apologist

Hey hello everyone! It’s Mary Pezzulo, the Marchioness of Manners, here to tell you how you can bring many souls into the Catholic Faith by being horrible to them on the internet. Yes, the harvest is ready and the laborers are few, but fortunately, you have social media. Social media is a fabulous way to evangelize the multitudes for the glory of Jesus Christ, by being really really annoying. And the best part is, there are just four easy steps... Read more

Things went from bad to worse. Twitter, now called “X,” is collapsing like a souffle in a noisy room. All I see lately is content creators dismayed that they don’t get any of the clicks and engagement they used to. I am the same. I get paid by the click and by people who like my writing and feed my tip jar, so social media engagement is my whole living. I’ll remain on X until it goes under once... Read more

Nothing is as it ought to be– at least, that’s how it felt. Adrienne is happier than I’ve ever seen her in in her life, and adjusting to middle school like a koi fish released from a tiny bowl into a lake. It’s only I who am not doing well. I barely sleep at night. I sit bolt upright when she wakes up at 5:40 even though she wants to get ready by herself and take the municipal bus to... Read more

And Peter Asked Jesus: The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

Last updated on: October 8, 2023 at 5:13 pm By Mary Pezzulo

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew: Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a... Read more

I’m not going to embed any videos, never fear. Heck, I’m not going to even link to any videos. I’m going to do my best to not even DESCRIBE what Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and her date were doing to each other in that theater over the weekend. If you don’t know, ask someone with social media to tell you. It turns out she wasn’t thrown out of Beetlejuice for vaping, unless vaping is a new euphemism the kids are... Read more

Ohio’s Abortion Amendment: Why is the Pro-life Movement Lying?

Last updated on: September 13, 2023 at 12:17 am By Mary Pezzulo

0 Comments

I keep seeing signs telling me to “VOTE NO ON ISSUE ONE.” And this time, they’re not talking about August’s Issue One where Republican lawmakers attempted to yank Ohioans’ ability to amend our constitution. We voted that one down by a huge margin, almost a supermajority. These are about the November election, when Ohioans will vote on a constitutional amendment prohibiting state laws that ban abortion (up until viability) or birth control. I’m not surprised that many people... Read more

Hey guys, this is not a real blog post, I’ll have one of those later today. This is just your approximately-every-three-months reminder that Steel Magnificat and my family operate on tips. I get a very small paycheck from Patheos for clicks in the United States, next to nothing for clicks overseas, a tiny amount of book royalties, and the rest of my living is just gratuities from readers who like what I write. Depending on how much I make... Read more

How many times have I told you that I wish there was someone other than Mary Pezzulo here? How many times have you rolled your eyes and wished I would stop apologizing and get on with it? Why are you even still here, listening to me? I’m glad you are. Thank you to everyone who’s been asking how I am. I hope the answer doesn’t disappoint you. I’m still badly depressed and anxious.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew: Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the...
