Today I will join Drew Mariani at www.RelevantRadio.com to discuss Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. Both are very interesting characters. They have a lot to say to us today.

Mark Shea, fellow convert, blogger, speaker and all around fun guy, was free for lunch while I’m here giving talks at Holy Family Parish in Kirkland Washington outside Seattle. Mark and I went to a great [...]

August 22: Feast Day of Mary Queen of Heaven A while ago a man called in to say my argument for the Assumption of Mary including references from the Old Testament was wrong. I had quoted 1 Kings 2:19 where Solomon had raised his mother up to a throne to be Queen of the Kingdom. [...]

Michael Shields serves in the Church of the Nativity in Siberia. The church is located in Magadan which is known as the “Russian Auschwitz”, the [...]

Regarding the recent attacks in southern Israel: These attacks are distant from any sites we visit on pilgrimage. Not to be dismissive, but the attacks came in an area near Eilat which is well over 300 miles south of Jerusalem at the Egyptian border. First, this is no where near Galilee or Jerusalem. It is [...]

Not that I don’t like RealCatholicTV, I usually do like the content even if I often dislike the holier-than-thou tone.

The talk was entitled “Swimming Upstream: Living the Catholic Faith in a Neo-pagan Society.” It was very well received! This new talk is now added to my list of over 75 prepared talks and [...]

Since Janet and I were in England during the riots, the whole situation was a bit more poignant for us than if we had been far removed. British headlines and editorials immediately attempted explanations and suggested band-aids to fix the problem. I said to Janet and our friends again and again that the flurry of [...]

Maybe I should get this tattoo, but I’d have to keep moving it down :-)

I was just going through the Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps & Time Lines. I find the book very helpful in many respects but was struck by the deceptive “factual” statement about the list of books in the New Testament. On page 17, under the heading “How We Got the Bible: Ten Key Points,” [...]
