Abuse scandals and why I will never abandon the Church
January 24, 2023
As the Catholic Herald reported yesterday, Catholics face another test of faith as news of another suspected sex abuse scandal involving our priests emerges.

January 13, 2023
Hadley Freeman stated the obvious in the Sunday Times, namely that the price for being a good parent is hatred.

Hadley agreed with Michele Obama who said recently: “Once you decide you want
Joy is the perfect antidote to our angry and unforgiving post-Christian dystopia
December 02, 2022
The UK is officially post-Christian. It is “the first time in a census of England and Wales that fewer than half of the population have described themselves as Christian.” This news was greeted gleefully by the National Secular Society. “It’s official – we are no longer a Christian country,” said Stephen Evans, the chief executive.
The ‘Me Generation’ has won a battle but it has not won the war
November 18, 2022
The headline from the mid-term election in the United States was that the red wave failed to materialise. The Democrats held the Senate.

Has a Catholic priest in Ireland really been cancelled by his Bishop for preaching against sin?
November 02, 2022
What is more important, appeasing the atheist Catholic-haters on twitter or saving souls? It seems that for the Bishop of Kerry, Ray Browne, it is the appeasing of atheists. The Bishop has abandoned his priest Fr Sean Sheehy who last weekend in St Mary’s Church in Listowel Co. Kerry, Ireland had the temerity to give
