Because seriously, good resources, but why, why, is the website designed that way? It just seems both impractical and…ugly.

“He that can take, let him take it.”
I’m discerning consecrated virginity.
I’ve always been teased that I’d be a nun which I have mostly ignored because the teasing was mostly uninformed and were premature conclusions. Nonetheless, on the question of vocations, I really can’t imagine myself in marriage. I mean, I love children (well, I love seeing children), but that’s about where everything stops....

Static Shock
So you know when it’s that time in winter, when everything metal or super fluffy shocks you? Or sometimes when even touching people shocks you? And then you’re like hesitant to touch anything lest you get shocked?
I’ve now gotten static shock from holy water three times. So now every time I’m about to dip my fingers in the holy water, I sort of hesitate.

Prayers
So I’ve been Catholic all my life, and yet the fact that prayers are actually answered is some strange and wonderful thing of which I am still somewhat suspicious.

Here, borrow my pro-life glasses.
I tend to avoid arguments and debates. Not only am I not good about debating, I also hate the tendency for debaters to demonize the other side. For the most part, my opinion is that most ordinary people want to do the best, whatever the best thing may be, and so we must argue not against people but against wrong opinions and bad arguments. Another bad tendency for debates is for one side to...

Love your neighbor.
One of my greatest frustrations in life is this concept about loving your neighbor. I mean, I’m kind to most people. I’m tolerant of people. I’m generally an agreeable person. But being kind or tolerant or agreeable is not what love is. It’s a bit of it, perhaps, but only a very small bit.
My frustration is increased even more by the fact that I’m an introvert and avoid most people. I really...

Blog to follow
Steve Gershom is the pseudo name of a Catholic with same-sex attraction. However, I find his blog helpful not only because he helps me understand the view of a faithful Catholic with SSA (though that is helpful) but primarily because he is an introverted Catholic. He’s definitely one of those writers in whom I find a kindred spirit with regards to everyday struggles, whether spiritual or...

The Devil Inside Me
This movie was a waste of nine dollars. Nothing really scary though some parts were shocking. Bad ending. The main characters/heroes were logically inconsistent and Church-bashing (big surprise!). At one point one of the characters—who was possessed at this point so that maybe calls for a little forgiveness for this misinterpretation—said something along the lines of, “If a baby...
