Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal Which comes upon you to prove you, As though something strange were happening to you. -1 Peter 4:12 A dark pall shrouds the earth these days. People can feel and hear the ice of harmony cracking beneath their feet. All are tottering […]
Read More Be Not AfraidBy Charlie Johnston Occasionally, I have noted that our lack of understanding of the customs and mores of Roman-occupied Jerusalem have caused us to dramatically misinterpret the import of many of Jesus’ sayings. Everything He did and said was designed to enhance the dignity of the human person. For example, the Lord said that if […]
Read More Comes a Mighty WindBy Charlie Johnston For all those who have called and emailed lately, I have not been as responsive as I like to be. I am consumed by final revisions to the CORAC Manual. On Friday I sent out the first section to the executive team and the board for comment and review. Two more are […]
Read More Republicans Must Nationalize the ElectionQuaecumque Sunt Vera By Charlie Johnston In mythology, when sunlight bursts into a dark lair of vampires, a great shrieking and furious snarling fills the air as the vampires perish.

I was insistent that a legislature should rather be […]
Read More Intellectual and Moral EclipseBy Charlie Johnston Today is the commemoration of the Last Supper and an anniversary, of sorts, of Jesus’ betrayal by His disciple, Judas. (Once, when my kids were little, I pointed to a carving of The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci at the back of the Church as we left and asked if either of […]
Read More My Minority Report on Judas IscariotBy Charlie Johnston I noted a few columns back how much I love the rising new musical trio of sisters, the Castellows. In reading comments to their videos, a constant theme is people begging them not to let their rising fame mess them up and turn ugly. The three women are strikingly lovely, projecting wholesomeness.

Read More You Can’t Go Home AgainBy Charlie Johnston Shawnee, Kansas – You may or may not have noticed that David Daleiden’s Center for Medical Progress (CMP) dropped a video about a week and a half ago proving that some Planned Parenthood affiliates have been selling baby body parts for profit illegally. It includes footage of abortionists speaking bluntly about it, […]
Read More To Life!By Charlie Johnston (The original post had a significant error concerning the two separate entities, Sanctus Ranch and Mission of Divine Mercy – both near San Antonio. So I am reposting the entire thing so that folks who only get this by email also have the corrected version. – CJ) St. Louis, Missouri – I […]
