The Superiority of the Convert Catholic…

Last updated on: January 25, 2017 at 6:39 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… I like to think converts are a special type of Catholic, and I’m not just saying that because I’m one. Converts intentionally seek out Catholicism and ultimately choose a faith that others are born to. Sometimes choosing Catholicism comes at a great price for the convert and much effort is required — like in my case, two years of touchy feely kumbaya RCIA and one ex-husband. Those cradles take all that for granted. They don’t know how easy they... Read more

… Kid’s say the darnedest things; like that their dad’s let them play Grand Theft Auto when you know full good and well this is a lie because his dad, an ex-Marine, fencing champion and Catholic deacon, would skin him alive like St. Bartholomew. But you play along because he’s just a kid and there’s no sport in making him look foolish. But the kid’s persistent and says his getting the game for Christmas and you just roll your eyes...

Happily Declaring The Walking Dead To Be Fully Catholic…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:38 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Who would choose Hell if given the choice? The Catechism of the Catholic Church says; CCC1037 — God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. I’d always wondered what that looked like, being so willful to choose Hell and so lost in your own sins that accepting mercy seems like an impossibility. This past Sunday night, we were given...

Seen at Frank’s place. And then there is this. 1500 young Catholic heroes form a human shield to protect the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista; Between the 23rd-25th November 2013 1500 young Catholic heroes formed a human shield to protect the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista from 7,000 Lesbians, feminists and pro-abortionsists whom acted like demoniacs when faced by the prayers and holiness of the young Catholic men. The pro-abortion, lesbian, feminists spat at the young men, mocked them, daubed... Read more

… There are very few things as honest and as soul bearing as this, From Ho to Housewife; How Jesus Changed Everything. Warning: It is a very sexually explicit article, so I would caution more sensitive readers. Leticia Adams writes about her struggles with promiscuity, being honest with herself about that lifestyle, desiring and finding true love, and overcoming her past through her conversion to Catholicism.

I Wore A Mantilla To Mass and No One Cared…

Last updated on: September 10, 2016 at 10:42 am By Katrina Fernandez

Mantillas. I hate ’em. They are fussy and bothersome, and last time I checked, lace is a fabric that doesn’t do much concealing, so why even bother? They make the wearer, me that is, feel conspicuous. And really, who am I fooling, trying to look all pious and junk? But then I wore a mantilla, and much to my shock, no one cared. Not a single eyelash was batted or a tongue clucked. The ground did not open and swallow... Read more

March of Dimes Turns Blind Eye To Link Between Abortion and Premature Births…

Last updated on: January 26, 2017 at 3:59 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Every November, the March of Dimes launches it’s Prematurity Campaign to raise awareness for the growing rate of premature births. Similar to Susan G. Komen’s breast cancer awareness month, both organizations refuse to acknowledge the link between abortion and the medical conditions they hope to eradicate. In the case of Susan G. Komen, they flat out deny there exists a link between breast cancer and abortion. March of Dimes just pretends abortion doesn’t exist at all when they list... Read more
