Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston I had a different column ready to queue up today, but last night this idea hit me powerfully… Of late, I have been bombarded with messages from atheists saying stupid things like, “I wouldn’t follow a God who would kill His own son,” or “A God who would let children suffer is […]
Read More Trinitarian TruthsBy Charlie Johnston I was somewhat startled at the reaction to my last piece on my disaffection with Pope Francis and his crew of theological vandals. Oh, I had a few of the usual cranks who explained to me how I am wrong about everything or citing their simplistic literal take on some prophecy to […]
Read More Truth or ConsequencesBy Charlie Johnston Plymouth, Michigan – The purpose of a justice system is…justice. It seems a downright quaint notion in a time when the law has been fully weaponized as a political cudgel against conservatives and Christians, when the FBI has supplanted the Ku Klux Klan as the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, and […]

My Dad passed suddenly last November, so this was my first without Dad in this world. It was also the first in which I am the oldest father in my family line. In fact, except for an aunt three […]

Read More Gangster Government Gears up for WarBy Charlie Johnston (I have been working on a piece directed to our orthodox Catholic Bishops. It is a sort of light version of the sort of strategic counsel I used to give public officials – and still do informally. I hope to have it ready this weekend. In the mean time, I repeat this […]
Read More The Future is what, Under God, We Make of it.By Charlie Johnston Before honest people can work together effectively on the way forward for Western Civilization, they have to work through their grief over the death of the American Republic. The late Elisabeth Kubler-Ross proposed the Five Stages of Grief people go through in dealing with the catastrophic loss of a loved one. For […]
Read More Grieving the Death of the RepublicBy Charlie Johnston I have not yet seen the movie, “Nefarious,” but I intend to as soon as I finally get settled at home. Our own Sheryl Collmer, managing editor of the CORAC Newsletter, wrote a marvelous review of it for Crisis Magazine. By all accounts, the movie depicts the most realistic description in popular […]
