A new website!!
Hey everyone, You’re receiving this because you subscribed to my blog – some of you way back when, some not long ago – and for that I’m eternally grateful! Just a couple weeks ago some friends and I re-created mtncatholic.com and are hosting it at a new place. Since transferring the list of subscribers over from one site to another turns to be a bit of a pain, and because I want to leave it up to…

If you died tomorrow, where would you go?
NEW: If you died tomorrow, where would you go?
Life is a funny thing. That we can inhale and exhale, consume food and drink, create things with our hands, think things with our brains, witness beauty with our eyes, take in the scents of our surroundings, or choose to walk left or walk right is a funny reality, indeed a very strange thing. Of course, it’s entirely normal as we experience it. But at the same time, all of those things which are…

Some takeaways after "Encountering Mercy" in Aspen
Some takeaways after "Encountering Mercy" with @aspencatholic
When a group of like-minded individuals gather in Aspen, Colorado, the reason typically has little to do with matters of faith, and is perhaps often just the opposite. Last weekend was different. Fr. John Hilton, leading Friday’s bike ride along the Rio Grande Trail In the heart of downtown sits St. Mary’s Catholic Church, its white steeple towering over most buildings in Aspen, as if to keep…

The incredible story of Montana's 90-foot statue of Mary
LATEST: The incredible story of Montana's 90-foot statue of Mary #butte #montana
One of the most picturesque views in Montana comes into focus when rounding the bend on eastbound Interstate 90, about 6 miles from the historic city of Butte. On the towering East Ridge overlooking the city sits the third-tallest statue in America: a 90-foot-tall homage to the Blessed Virgin Mary, brilliantly white and perched 3500 feet above the valley floor. Her story began in 1979 with Butte…

"Office Space" Holiness
"Office Space" Holiness ... check out the newest post on smashing printers and obeying God-->
The 1999 movie Office Space is one of American film’s greatest cult classics, poignantly depicting mundane office life through the eyes of fed-up workers at a typical 90s software company. Many who haven’t seen the movie may know it from its popular quotes like “I believe you have my stapler” or… But the movie’s most iconic scene comes when the main character and two coworkers finally have enough…

Religious Misconceptions and the Catholic Church
My latest just dropped at @SpokaneFAVS. Check it out, and swing by Revel77 in Spokane Sat@10am
NOTE: This column appears in full at Spokane Faith & Values. It has graciously been given permission for reposting at MtnCatholic.com. When I think of religious misconceptions and the Catholic Church, I legitimately have to stifle a laugh as I think to myself, “Where do I even start?” It’s almost as sure a thing as death and taxes, in my experience, that misconceptions abound about the Catholic…

Ask A Catholic: What is the Rosary?
My latest over at @SpokaneFAVS --> Ask a Catholic: What is the Rosary? #catholic
Q. What is the Rosary? How do you pray it? When do you pray it? Are there different kinds? A. The Rosary is perhaps the most commonly known and most popular form of devotion practiced by Catholics and, believe it or not, even many non-Catholics. In short, the Rosary is a series of prayers is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, that provides a contemplative walk through the life and…

Ask a Catholic: Do Only Catholics Go to Heaven?
My latest at @SpokaneFAVS: "Ask a Catholic: Do Only Catholics go to Heaven?"
NOTE: This column is hosted by and has been updated from it’s original at Spokane Faith & Values. It has graciously been given permission for reposting at MtnCatholic.com. — Q. Please explain if the Catholic faith supports the belief that only Catholics go to heaven. A. That particular phrasing can be a little misleading — the more accurate question would be, “Do Catholics believe there is no…

Five MORE Catechism Truth Bombs about Marriage #marriage
To read the first 5 truth bombs on marriage, click here. You won’t regret it. Weddings are a big deal in our culture. Between the months of June & September (and all year on Pinterest…ladies) there’s hardly anything else on the minds of most 20-somethings in America. And yet, marriage, especially as a religious institution, is in a sad state these days. It seems more and more people are…

NOTE: This column is hosted by and has been updated from it’s original at Spokane Faith & Values. It has graciously been given permission for reposting at MtnCatholic.com. **** A survey is an interesting thing. Though valuable in its ability to grasp the perspective of vast groups of people, a survey nevertheless holds no bearing on the inherent truth of something – it exacts precisely zero…

Integrity at the Sticking Point: How We Can Each Help the World Post-Paris
Integrity at the Sticking Point: How We Can Each Help the World Post-Paris #Prayers4Paris #integrity
C.S. Lewis’ famous book, The Screwtape Letters, came out in 1942, smack in the middle of World War II. When the book, a satirical series of “letters” written by a demon uncle to his demon nephew, was released, Europe was still fighting to keep its citizens and its patrimony safe against invading forces, with no hint of when – or how – an end would come. A similar response, admittedly on a much…

A GIF Narrative of the Reactions from the Synod on the Family
A big, huge event just ended in Rome a couple days ago. At least, if you followed the American media you’d think it was huge, anyway. The Synod on the Family, though significant enough in its ability to be a litmus test of where the world’s bishops stand on key issues, was never going to change Catholic doctrine, because that never been (and never will be) its purpose. It also wasn’t just…

How St. John Paul II Might Answer Cupich on Conscience... #catholic #JPIIWeLoveYou
This post originally appears at Crisis Magazine. It has been shared with permission. In September 1953, a group of 20-somethings and their young parish priest embarked on the first of what would be 26 annual kayaking trips into the wilderness near where they all lived and worked, taking time away from normal life to enjoy the water, the wilderness, and, most of all, a prayerful retreat with each…

C.S. Lewis, Narnia, and the Scourge of Gossip #cslewis #narnia #gossip
Those who have read C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will remember well the book’s closing sequence — a battle between the White Witch and Aslan, who, accompanied by scores of animals from all throughout Narnia, eventually defeated her and brought peace to Narnia. Organizing his troops for battle, Aslan says: And now! Those who can’t keep up — that is, children, dwarfs, and small…

Four Valuable Lessons from Mark Twain's Favorite and Least-Known Book
4 Valuable Lessons from "Joan of Arc" - Mark Twain's Favorite and Least-Known Book #joanofarc
Few people today know that Mark Twain, one of the greatest American authors in history and hardly a man with healthy respect for organized religion, wrote a book on the great 14th-Century saint, Joan of Arc. Even fewer, I imagine, realize that Twain regarded it as his best and most important work, devoting 12 years to researching the project and enduring six failed attempts at writing the book in…

Seven GIFs to Show the Apostles Were People Too #apostles #christianity
It’s often difficult to picture people from the age before cameras laughing, crying, or generally showing any emotion at all, especially considering that first real photographs of people tended to look like this: President Andrew Jackson smiling. But nevertheless, just like the world wasn’t actually in black and white before color TV, people who lived before the age of the photograph and…
