Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston What fellowship can light have with darkness? – 2 Corinthians 6:14 As recently as 50 years ago, one could honorably be either Democrat or Republican. Both parties were basically pro-life, pro-nuclear family, pro-individual liberty, pro-free speech, and at least gave lip service to the Judeo-Christian ethic and took pains not to offend […]
Read More Get Your Hands Dirty – or PerishBy Charlie Johnston I have not posted in almost two weeks. On Thanksgiving Day I had eight hours of uninterrupted activity – more than twice as long as any since I got sick. It set me back a bit. My progress remains about where my doctor said it would be four weeks ago, which means […]
Read More Eager to Return to the Land of the LivingBy Charlie Johnston After reading tons of commentary on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict last week, there is a central aspect that has been largely uncommented on. In fact, it may be THE key aspect. This outcome has NOT vindicated the justice system, which should never have brought this case to trial. I am not convinced […]
Read More Real Thanks to be Given: Our Coming Pandemic of CourageBy Charlie Johnston What do you do when you find an opponent is consistently dealing in bad faith? You quit negotiating, for you can rely on nothing he says. It is all a lie designed to manipulate and destroy. When you get to that point, the only reasonable option is to ignore everything he says […]
Read More No More Dancing With the DevilBy Charlie Johnston My dear friend, Fr. Regis Scanlon, OFM, passed on Saturday night in Denver. He worked with St. Mr. Teresa, doing Eucharistic Formation for her nuns. What a glorious man with a lively sense of humor. Thank God we got to visit just before I hit the road – but it had to […]

Kim Foxx declines to press charges against five men arrested in a fatal gang shootout; In Washington, D.C. some 500 people continue into their ninth month of solitary confinement for “parading” in the Capitol. In Arlington, Texas, a school shooter is released the […]
Read More Things Are Coming to a HeadBy Charlie Johnston (Update – In this piece I drifted into error on when Jesus knew He was God. It was kind of idiotic, because I have covered this ground before while maintaining full fidelity to Magisterial teaching. I erred in this one because I drifted into suggesting that Christ was ignorant of His divinity for […]
Read More The Family of Man, The Family of GodBy Charlie Johnston By Charlie Johnston To all those people in Canada, Ireland, Denmark, Australia and other countries that have spoken to me about getting their own versions of CORAC started, I hear you. I started last week thinking seriously about how to seed affiliates in those countries throughout the world that have people who […]
Read More Truth Will Stand the Test of ExaminationBy Charlie Johnston “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” -Matthew 10:34 When goals are similar, people and representatives can argue vociferously on implementation and make noble compromises. When foundational goals are contradictory and incompatible, compromise is not feasible: […]
Read More The Division That Brings PeaceBy Charlie Johnston Every person craves transcendent meaning in their life. For those whose hope is in God, that meaning is found in their hope of eternal life with their Creator.
