A Catholic in an Actor's World

This is just a blog about my journey as a Catholic actor, where I am now and where it will take me. There will be acting, theater, and film stuffy-stuff on here, but also random, this-is-what-I-love/hate, things! Please enjoy. "Will you come with me,...

Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.

Waiting to hear from Talent Agencies: Exciting and Nerve-racking at the same time...but so worth it!

Since half of your blog is dedicated to the art of acting & performing, I was wondering: do you consider voice acting to be a type of acting? Would you ever try voice acting if you were given the opportunity?

Oh definitely! Voice acting takes a lot of talent and technique. Simply watch some behind the scenes of animated movies/video games/commercials. You have to portray a feeling/emotion/mood through your voice only and that can be tough to do. I would love to do voice acting! It would be so much fun to do. Thanks for the great question! :)

When a pregnant woman suffers organ damage (such as heat or liver failure) the fetus sends stem cells to the damaged organ to help repair it. 

The baby’s got mommy’s back. Respect.

so much for the pro-choice argument of babies being “parasites” 

[emotionaltofu-deactivated201605]

When they’re doing it for their own advantage to live, it’s still parasitism.

[crashoutcannibal]

Actually no.  A true parasite never helps it’s host, it only harms them.  

A better term for a fetus is “Symbiotic”.  

Other reasons it’s not a parasite:

A parasite is an invading organism — coming to parasitize the host from an outside source.  A human embryo or fetus is formed from a fertilized egg — the egg coming from an inside source, being formed in the ovary of the mother from where it moves into the oviduct where it may be fertilized to form the zygote — the first cell of the new human being.

A parasite is an organism that, once it invades the definitive host, will usually remain with host for life (as long as it or the host survives).

A human embryo or fetus has a temporary association with the mother, remaining only a number of months in the uterus.

A parasite is an organism that associates with the host in a negative, unhealthy and nonessential (nonessential to the host) manner which will often damage the host and detrimentally affect the procreative capacity of the host (and species).

A human embryo or fetus is a human being that associates with the mother in a positive, healthful essential manner necessary for the procreation of the species.

You don’t seem to understand what a parasite is.

The #PassionofChrist at the #ShrineoftheMostBlessedSacrament in Hanceville. What a stunning portrayal put on my the #Cenacolo community. Please check them out! What a wonderful community of people who are simply seeking the love of God and the Catholic faith.

It is very helpful to confess with a certain regularity. It is true our sins are always the same; but we clean our homes, our rooms, at least once a week even if the dirt is always the same, in order to live in cleanliness, in order to start again. Otherwise, the dirt might not be seen, but it builds up.

—Pope Benedict XVI
