Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston When my maternal grandmother, who doted on me, died back in 1964, she bequeathed her Bible to me. Actually, she bequeathed several things to me from her meager estate – and made it known to all that these were to go to me. Alas, much of the family looted her small store […]
Read More Intentional Acts of FaithBy Beckita There’s just no going back. And who would want to? Oh what a world in disarray with a Church hardly recognizable as its unholy disorder is all too real in too many places! From some comments here, and in listening to people around us, we hear expressions of fear, uneasiness and anxiety – […]
Read More Prepare Ye the WayBy 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. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, That you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:12, 13 For the first […]
Read More The Fiery Trial CommencesBy Charlie Johnston I have been working on a meaty piece. It’s not quite soup yet, though, so I figured I would review a few basic issues before getting it out. I have always figured that before walking into obvious decisive moments, it is good to review fundamentals. And we are heading straight into an […]
Read More Infallibility, The Magnificat, Revelation 12, and MysticismBy Charlie Johnston I am hearing now from people who are upset over the “irresponsibility” of my take on experimental gene therapy being called a “vaccine.” You have seen a little of it in the comment section. I also get a lot of emails. Some are on the verge of hysterical – fact-free diatribes – […]
Read More Scouting the TerrainBy Charlie Johnston The first time I ever took my kids to the zoo, they were only one and two. Certainly, they enjoyed the animals, but I was a bit disappointed that they really did not evince the surprise and delight I remembered from my own first foray to a zoo as a child. Then […]
Read More The Times, They Are a-ChangingBy Charlie Johnston The pressure is mounting anew to force people to get the Covid jab to keep their jobs, get surgical procedures, or do normal communal things. This is un-American, of course, but the left hates America, anyway, so to them, that is a feature, not a flaw. I have said since last November […]
Read More Rocking the Boogie-Woogie Flu (Updated)By Charlie Johnston I see a lot of stories these days that say various policies pushed from on high will have a “chilling” effect on freedom or public discourse. Seriously?! I suppose you can have a chillier wind blow even when it is already 20 below zero, but most rational folks do not use that […]
Read More The Ice Age of the RepublicBy Charlie Johnston Today, on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Pope Francis has dramatically restricted celebration of the Latin Mass. So, now it is right and proper to have an offering to a pagan goddess on the altar of Christ (Pachamama) but the celebration of the venerable form of Mass promulgated […]
Read More Inviting Fire From HeavenBy Charlie Johnston After all the hubbub from my last column, I was delighted to see a marvelous meditation by Fr. James Altman posted on the U.S. Grace Force website yesterday. It is insightful, it is bold, it is courageous, and it is charitable. This is the Fr. Altman who gave me heart for the […]
