Russel Brand’s Anti-Porn Rant…

Last updated on: February 25, 2015 at 6:19 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Some of you regular readers know how much I despise porn. It destroyed my marriage as I watched it completely transform my ex-husband. Allowing yourself to be exposed to pornographic material is one of the most destructive soul corrupting things you can do to yourself. Maybe one day I’ll write more about my experience but until then… Read more

Look at me, I’m so holy with my ashes and my fasting…

Last updated on: February 18, 2015 at 7:36 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… So it’s Lent. I guess that means I’m obligated to write something on the topic. Oh, joy. Wait, I mean “Oh, suffering.” I suck at Lent. In fact, I suck at most of these religious traditions and seasonal times of the year. I wasn’t raised Catholic so it doesn’t come naturally for me as it does for others. Plus I have a hard enough time maintaining any level of holiness throughout the rest of the year, in case you... Read more

… The city is shut down. All is silent and still. Nothing stirs but the gentle sounds of falling snow and sleet as it blankets the streets with ice. Beautiful, precious ice. The kind of ice that strikes fear in hearts all across the south. The fear that can mean only one thing. Snow day. I’ve got all the provisions I need to get me through the next day or so. Come at me, snow. Read more

Did someone say “snow”…

Last updated on: February 15, 2015 at 12:28 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… As is typical in the South, someone said the “S” word and now that state’s on high alert. They’ve salted the roads, gotten school children’s hopes up, and sent grocery shoppers in a panic… all for the possibility of one inch of snow. You read that right. One inch of snow. One inch. Not so tough now, cowboy. Read more

Who Wants To Join Me In A Novena…

Last updated on: February 3, 2015 at 6:40 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Alright folks, here is where I need your help. I figure if I can get enough people praying this novena for me to pass my exam, it has to get somebody’s attention upstairs. My final exam is in less than two weeks, so what better time to start the novena to St. Cupertino, patron saint of struggling, witless students, than now? St. Cupertino, pray for me. O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from... Read more

… So there’s this video of the Eucharist getting passed around like a common snack chip at the papal mass during the pope’s visit to the Philippines. Good God, people. Even when I was a simple protestant we had more respect for the symbol of communion than some Catholics have for the reality of it. In the past, as a member of a local non-denominational community church we only had communion on special occasions and it was a very big... Read more
