That They May Be One

I’m excited to share a wonderful sign of hope with you, Friends. At the start of this month, I attended the 2020 Encounter Conference in Toledo, Ohio where the gathered crowd spanned the generations from babies to grandparents. About 2600 predominantly Catholic attendees were joined by some brothers and sisters from other denominations while the […]

Into the Ring of Fire

By Charlie Johnston When I was a young man, I was an environmentalist. Actually, I still am – but hold “movement” environmentalists in utter contempt. I was in my early 20’s when I realized that movement environmentalists had no clue what they were talking about. It was all about showing how clever and noble they […]

Opening Skirmishes

By Charlie Johnston Appeasement is provocative to dictators. It merely encourages them to push harder and intimidate more. Ronald Reagan insisted that we would attain “peace through strength.” When he did so, the left and the media all accused him of being a warmonger – and shrieked that we were “all going to die.” Any […]

Man and Superman

By Charlie Johnston When I was a kid, I absolutely loved Superman comic books. How cool it was to imagine having superpowers – to fly, to be super-strong, invulnerable, faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.

Why Did Jesus Often Seem Abrupt With Mary?

By Charlie Johnston Just about two months ago a reader from New Jersey named Jerry posed an excellent question to me. Read it yourself: “I am struggling with an issue that has bothered me for a long time. I can’t seem to get an answer from clergy that I know. Here goes: Why does Jesus […]

Merry Christmas to All

(I had planned to do a piece on the relationship between Jesus and Mary today – but the cold I have been battling has gotten nasty. Say a little prayer for me if you would – I am napping a lot today in hopes that I will be able to sing at Midnight Mass tonight. […]

The Pyrrhic Impeachment

By Charlie Johnston Contemplating this article, there were several marvelous titles that came to mind. It could have been the Seinfeld Impeachment. As you remember, Seinfeld was famously called a show about nothing – sort of like this impeachment, where the only actual fact witness the Democrats could come up with said that Trump said […]

An Encrustation of Barnacles

By Charlie Johnston I believe that Pope Francis is the legitimately elected Pope. In fact, I will go further than that and say I HOPE he is the legitimately elected Pope. The great controversies in the history of the Church have been the fertile ground in which authentic doctrinal development and refinement has been accomplished. […]

The Barricades Won’t Hold Much Longer

By Charlie Johnston I am working on a big piece that deals directly with the intense controversy that keeps growing within the Church. Meantime, events keep coming in flood waves. Rather than wait to post anything until I have the complex piece, I survey the ongoing scene. IG Report With the release of the Inspector […]
