Constantine Comes to NBC This Fall…

Last updated on: January 26, 2017 at 9:36 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… When the walls start bleeding and you find out that your house previously belonged to satanist who used the basement to hold ritualistic sacrifices who do call? A Catholic priest or your community church worship leader? Gee. Let me think about that one for a minute. The Catholic Church. Duh! Everyone knows that. Even Hollywood recognizes the authority of the Church to conquer evil. You got demons? Call a Church appointed exorcist. Many years ago at Charlotte’s Eucharistic Congress... Read more

Happy Mother’s Day, Emily Letts…

Last updated on: October 4, 2016 at 5:14 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… That’s it. Just Happy’s Mother’s Day. I know many people have lots of things to say about that video you made, the one where you filmed your abortion, but I’m not sure any of them thought to wish you a good Mother’s Day. Maybe they don’t think you deserve it or that you aren’t a mother, but technically speaking you are. “Mother” as a verb means to nurture, care for and protect. “Mother” as a noun means a female...

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Rebecca Hamilton tagged me in a thing called a writing selfie. Basically you talk about yourself. I hate talking about myself. I much prefer to talk about other people. But I’ll give it a shot because I’m a giver. 1. What are you working on? Aside from this box-o-wine? A post for Patheos’s fifth birthday and a really strange video, since I’ve finally mastered how to make one using the video app in Windows 8. A post for Mother’s... Read more

Popping the emotional cork off of being raised fatherless…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… I had absolutely no intention of writing about fathers five days before Mother’s Day but what choice did I have after having seen this video in a friend’s facebook feed. I forgot how growing up without a father used to really piss me off. For every mother or father that is not directly involved in their child lives there sits a confused, angry child who grows up believing they are unlovable. Why don’t they want me? Why doesn’t mom...

Small Comforts and Happy Deaths – the passing of Seminarian Michael Kitson…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Remember that time I had a heart attack in church, right smack dab in the middle of the mass? At the time the only thing I wanted to do was get through the mass and receive Holy Communion. If the Lord was going to take me, I wanted to at least be in the closest state of grace as humanly possible. A happy death. It seems so strange to equate death with happiness, especially for the family and loved... Read more

… Begone acedia. Begone sullenness. Self pity. Ennui. Shoo. Away with thee! I just remembered I am Catholic. Damn Catholic. A nun gazing, hymn loving, incense is the best smell in the world Catholic. A proud to be and grateful that She’d have me Catholic. Why the sudden change in mood? Because I suddenly caught myself effortlessly praying in the middle of the day for no real discernible reason. Yeah, that one shocked me too. And it was with that... Read more

Rape is NOT Entertainment…

… Dear Folks Over At HBO and the Directors/Writers/Producers of Game of Thrones; We get it. Bad guys do bad things. I think it’s quite fair to say that at this point in the series we, the viewers, have a very clear sense of who these bad guys are and what they are capable of doing (Hint – very bad things). We don’t need to see a rape with every.single.episode to illustrate just how bad these bad guys are. I... Read more

… Today was Divine Mercy Sunday and I didn’t even realize it till later in the day. I mean I knew it was, it just slipped my mind. Also, some popes were canonized today and I tried to watch the coverage on EWTN but it was a JPII marathon extravaganza and I just got bored. Not that I have anything against JPII, I just wondered if they realized more than one pope was being canonized, that’s all. Plus, I was... Read more
