Relentlessly Gay Yard, Meet My Relentlessly Catholic Yard…

Last updated on: July 1, 2015 at 7:47 pm By Katrina Fernandez

UPDATED 7/1/15 … I KNEW IT! It was all a fabrication. Never doubt me, people. … When I moved into my new home I announced the arrival that the Papists where coming, not with trumpets and loud gongs, but with statuary. Lots and lots of statuary. My yard looks like a damn cemetery minus the dead people. In other words, I have a relentlessly Catholic yard. I also know for a fact that my relentlessly Catholic yard annoys the hell... Read more

Last updated on: June 13, 2015 at 10:10 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Catholic Viral mashed up a few posts from Holy Whapping, Acts of the Apostasy, and yours truly to create this bit of amazing. You’re looking at a design by Catholic Viral based on proposed Catholic comedies and reality TV shows that need to exist now. The above is a reality series I suggested based on large Catholic families, where camera crews follow a day in the life of the Donaldson clan. Below is a redecorating show based on an... Read more

Will Remain Catholic For Beer…

Last updated on: June 3, 2015 at 6:55 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… The question of why we remain Catholic has been asked of the Patheos writers, in response to Pew Report stating our numbers are dwindling. I’m not much for big word-y words, preferring to keep it straightforward. I’m Catholic and plan to remain so until I die and my big fat Catholic soul flies off to Catholic Heaven – the part of Heaven where the alcohol and fireworks are kept in ample supply. The existence of Catholic Heaven has been... Read more

Bruce Jenner on a Ledge, World Tells Him To “JUMP”…

Last updated on: June 3, 2015 at 9:24 am By Katrina Fernandez

… I keep reading about how Bruce Jenner is finally being “true” to himself by becoming a herself. I guess when truth is subjective anything is possible. There is nothing truthful about Bruce Jenner’s appearance on the cover of Vanity Fair. It’s facial feminization surgery, synthetic hormone treatments, plastic breasts, corsets, cosmetics, studio lighting, professional hairstylists, renowned photographers, and photoshop. Lots and lots of photoshop. It’s a gross caricature of womanhood. It’s pantomime. Sexist black face. It’s insulting to imply... Read more

… Look. I’m writing about something that has nothing to do with dieting. Be amazed. So here’s a happy story about a woman who prayed to St. Ann and got herself a man. Not just any man… a Swiss Guard. You want to call me obsessive about anything, call me obsessive about the Guardia Svizzera Pontificia. Sigh. So molto bello. What’s not to love? Handsome, single, manly, and Catholic.

… On the cover of People Magazine is model Tess Holliday. The headline heralds, “The World’s First Size 22 Super Model, From Bullied Teen to Plus Size Star.” As everyone else celebrates this new diversity in the fashion industry, I can’t help but feel alarmed that so many people are ok with a 5’5″ tall woman weighing 260 lbs and being a size 22. At 5’9″ I’m 20 lbs heavier than she is and a size larger. When I look... Read more
