Because of Divine Frivolity

Last updated on: January 19, 2015 at 10:58 pm By Frank Weathers

Times are tough all over. First we had the economic meltdown to contend with.

Why Erasmus Stayed Catholic (A Few Thoughts For Thursday)

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 2:20 pm By Frank Weathers

I have never been an apostate from the Catholic Church. I know that in this Church, which you call the Papist Church, there are many who displease me, but such I also see in your Church.

And he does not sail badly who steers a... Read more

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm By Frank Weathers

What is the deal with celebrating Trinity Sunday? After all, isn’t every Mass a celebration of our Triune God? So why a special Sunday dedicated as a feast to God, in three persons? That question is why I picked up my torch and started on a quest to find the origins of this feast day.
