Something New is Afoot

By Charlie Johnston Hayti, Missouri – In 1978, when St. John Paul was elected Pope, I was very disturbed. For the first couple of months after his election, the media crowed that we finally had a “liberal” Pope – and things were going to change dramatically in the Church to catch it up to modern […]

The Revolution Gathers Force

By Charlie Johnston Houston, Texas – When I was a little boy, just after starting elementary school, I became a great admirer of President Kennedy. Every time he gave a speech on all the networks, I watched raptly. Of course, I had the mind of a child, so I did not always properly interpret what […]

Happy Inauguration Day!

By Charlie Johnston Niceville, Florida – I saw several wits on X and Facebook note that, for the first time in their lives, they were wishing they could skip the weekend and just get right to today. One has to hope that Joe Biden didn’t start World War III, bring in another 10 million illegal […]

The Turning of the Tide

By Charlie Johnston Huntsville, Alabama – As Pope Francis slyly accuses Israel of genocide for having the temerity to defend itself against another 40 years of terrorist-fueled rape, torture, and murder emanating from Gaza, serious Catholics around the world ask themselves, “How long, O Lord?” Planned Parenthood is caught negotiating for viable fetuses, tiny babies, […]

Contemplations of a Road Warrior

By Charlie Johnston Ann Arbor, Michigan – Today, Thursday, Sept. 26, would have been my Dad’s 87th birthday. August 24th would have been my Mom’s 84th birthday. (For those of you clever with math, yes that does mean Dad was 18 when I was born and Mom was 15 – but they had been married […]

For it must needs be that offenses come, But woe to that man by whom the offence comes.” -Matthew 18:7 On Friday, July 5, the Vatican found Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano guilty of schism and excommunicated him. Vigano’s criticism of Pope Francis and the […]

In Spirit and in Truth: The Crisis in the Church

By Charlie Johnston South Haven, Michigan – As we enter more deeply into this Lenten season, many Catholics are shaken as it becomes undeniable that the call for sinful dysfunction is coming from inside the house. The Pope is a hot mess who calls for tolerance and inclusion as he stamps out any meaningful dissent […]

How Low Can We Go?

By Charlie Johnston Boy, do I miss the days when the question, “Is the Pope Catholic?” was just rhetorical. These last few months of Francis’ Papacy have reminded me of the closing sequence of The Godfather. In those scenes Michael Corleone piously stands as godfather at his nephew’s baptism, while his henchmen kill off all […]

The Strickland Saga

By Charlie Johnston Mico, Texas – Early in his pontificate, Pope Francis said he wanted to, “make a mess,” and urged young people to do the same. With the normalization of transgenderism in the Church and the approval for blessing same sex unions, combined with the dismissal of two orthodox Bishops for vague or no […]

God’s Plan Begins to Reveal Itself – if You Relax

By Charlie Johnston Yuba City, California – In the ‘90s there was a craze for what were called Magic Eye images. These were sheets of chaotic computer-generated patterns.
