Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Today is the National Rosary Rally, sponsored by the Holy League. It culminates the 54-day Novena for our Nation. It has been a tumultuous time. May God shed his grace on us. ******* I have been a little under the weather. I broke a tooth off at lunch on Wednesday and spent […]
Read More Defining Deviancy DownBy Charlie Johnston Last Sunday was a very important anniversary – the first of the great Revelation 12 event of a year ago, the event I count as the beginning of Rescue. Fr. Richard Heilman wrote a magnificent piece on the subject a few days before it arrived. Thirteen days after this great sign appeared […]
Read More Then War Broke Out in HeavenBy Charlie Johnston It was St. Augustine’s Confessions that sparked my conversion to Catholicism nearly three decades ago. In the summer of 1990 I had spent a lot of time reading Reformation-era thinkers; Erasmus, John Donne, St. John of the Cross and Martin Luther, even excerpts from King Henry VIII’s defense of Catholicism written just […]
Read More The Love of My LifeBy Charlie Johnston What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?-Mark 8:36 In my anger over the revelations of what a serial predator former Cardinal (now merely Archbishop) Theodore McCarrick has been for his whole career – and how many in authority knew and did […]
Read More The Smoke of Satan Chokes the Faithful(I have been rocked by the new scandal involving Cardinal Theodore McCarrick AND by all the people in authority who knew what a wolf he was and said nothing.

Read More Prelude to Comments on the Scandals in the ChurchBy Charlie Johnston Let me start with some good news. On Friday the National Abortion Federation (NAF) voluntarily dismissed 7 of the 11 counts in their federal lawsuit against David Daleiden and his organization, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). The only counts NAF has not dismissed are those that are necessary to try to […]
Read More Under Siege(A lot of people have asked me about the omnibus bill and the new layout of the foreign policy team in the Trump administration. I will have something about it up tomorrow. I both approve of the overall work that is being done, even when I get irritated at some cans being kicked down the […]
Read More EpitaphAnthony Mullen, prominent Marian advocate and devotee in our times, died unexpectedly on Saturday, March 10th. He was a dear friend of TNRS and ASOH. Charlie featured several pieces written by Tony who was filled with zeal for promoting many initiatives of nurturing faith, including Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary and the Flame of […]
Read More Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him, O Lord(I have been depressed by hearing growing numbers of people I respect pondering whether we are reaching the end of all things. At this point, the crises in the Church seems to drive it more, even, than the serial crises in the world. I do not speak publicly in overtly prophetic terms anymore, so you […]
Read More This is Not the End(I was just finishing a piece I had worked on over the weekend when I must have hit a combination of buttons on Microsoft Word that wiped it out. I will re-write tomorrow. Hate that. Meantime, I am reprinting a piece I wrote on January 11, over a year ago, when the news of the […]
