Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Back in the day, when I was advising officials and candidates in a fluid situation that had many possible outcomes, I would give a lot of real-time focus to what we actually knew. From that, we would work on what was possible, what was likely and what was absurd. By keeping focused […]
Read More The Eternal NowI have been thinking through some serious things this last week and a half. We are getting a lot of high-quality young people coming out to presentations this year.

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 […]
Read More Weak but WillingBy Charlie Johnston I promised that on this, the 104th anniversary of the penultimate day of the apparitions at Fatima, I would offer a prayer of repentance and renewal for all those who have been damaged by the counter-scientific Covid restrictions, including the experimental gene therapy shot.

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 […]

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.
