Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston I have had several people contact me to see if I am okay, due to the sporadic nature of my posting lately. I did have a significant and serious health issue arise. As is my wont, I did some heavy research, and came up with a treatment protocol. (As you know, I […]
Read More Watching the World BurnBy Charlie Johnston I have thought long and hard about the world’s trajectory. It seems to me that God gave us a great gift, an opportunity for people of good will to start pushing back on the right track to rebuild a healthy culture. Still, I think we have a massive collapse coming, because we […]
Read More The World’s Babel Moment ApproachesBy Charlie Johnston You can do things quickly or you can do things solidly. Rare it is that you can do both. Joe Biden and his team came into power under the shadow of a dubious election of uncertain integrity. The left immediately took the “We have the power!!!” route and started doing all manner […]
Read More An Oasis Rises Amidst the Dust StormBy Charlie Johnston I have been getting increasingly disturbed by the growing anti-Israel sentiment I am finding in the ranks of traditional, pious Catholics and, to a lesser extent, among conservatives of all stripes. For a time, I interpreted this as a baffling, but growing, anti-semitism. But a dear friend who has gotten increasingly anti-Israel […]
Read More Beyond the PaleBy Charlie Johnston Waukegan, Illinois – On December 23, 2020, I wrote here that I thought the Covid Shots were likely to become the greatest medical disaster in modern history. My essay, “Embers in the Wind” is a fascinating read nearly five years later. In the first two paragraphs I vastly underestimated people’s tolerance for […]
Read More A Future and a HopeBy Charlie Johnston Front Royal, Virginia – I am very optimistic. I have said repeatedly that the power of darkness is broken – and that we will win every battle that we press forward with vigor on, under God going forward. I stand by that. But by no means do I mean it is all […]
Read More There Yet be DragonsBy Charlie Johnston Laurel, Maryland – Monday and Tuesday of this week were challenging…and rewarding. On Monday I went to pray at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Solomon’s Island, Maryland. It sits right on a beautiful segment of the Chesapeake Bay. Turning left into the parking lot, I stupidly allowed myself to […]
Read More Cast Down From the High PlacesBy Charlie Johnston Ocala, Florida – The late Chicago Mayor, Richard J. Daley, had a saying I loved. “Good government is good politics and good politics is good government.” It was a memorable Chicago way of saying take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves. The late mayor […]
Read More Fiery TrialsBy Charlie Johnston Thomasville, Georgia – Our own Steve Baker formulated one of the more penetrating questions to a piece I wrote a few days ago that I decided to answer his question in the form of another column. First, it would be good for you to look at the column in question (or, at […]
Read More Unifying the Spiritual and the MaterialFrom Charlie Johnston Helena, Alabama – I pretty much say all I have to say in this Thanksgiving video for CORAC. Thank you all for the fabulous work you have done these last four years to keep the home fires of faith, family, and freedom burning. In 2008, at the Easter Vigil at Immaculate Heart of […]
