The Wayward Catholic

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. " 1 Cor 10:13

The Last Should be First

On October 19, 2014 By Paul RoyIn Faith, Uncategorized2 Comments

Lately I have been struggling with a tough decision. The first thing I did was to ask God for some help and guidance. After I did this I started thinking about how for so long this would have been the last (if I ever asked God at all) thing I would do. I think sometimes …

Finding God in All Things

On September 9, 2014 By Paul RoyIn Faith, Meditations, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I may have mentioned that make my living driving around and have done so for the last fifteen years. Yesterday, during my travels I was in northern Vermont and New Hampshire. It was an absolutely beautiful late summer day and I would have liked to have been able to stop and "smell the roses" for …

The Log in Your Eye

On August 9, 2014 By Paul RoyIn answered prayers, Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

It seems my last post has created quite a stir around here. I have heard through the grapevine that my ex may have taken offense to my remarks about one of the causes for our divorce. First, I will say that I am surprised, but also happy she reads what I write. Of course I …

The Catholic War on Women

On July 13, 2014 By Paul RoyIn Abortion, Religious Freedom, Uncategorized2 Comments

Okay, it's finally out there in the open, all Catholics hate women and they have declared war on them. It's obvious isn't it? After all it was those Catholic Supreme Court justices that voted to deny women the right to health care. How dare they! Women everywhere will no longer have access to contraception or …

Does God Really Answer Our Prayers

On June 5, 2014 By Paul RoyIn answered prayers, Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Does God really answer our prayers or do we only think he does? One of the things I have come to notice during my journey back to the Catholic faith is how God continues to answer my prayers. I have to admit I was always pretty sceptical about the whole idea of God actually doing …

What’s Wrong With this Picture

On May 1, 2014 By Paul RoyIn Abortion, morality, Uncategorized3 Comments

Did you ever play the game "What's wrong with this picture?" This is a game where you look at two similar pictures and try to determine what is different in them. We can do this in real life as well. For example let's look at this recent news story: PROVO, Utah (Reuters) - A Utah …

Confession is Good for the Soul

On April 20, 2014 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Sacraments, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Today we celebrate Easter, the day Jesus was raised from the dead in order to free us from our sins. We can look at this like He wiped our slates clean in order for us to start over. How many of us have kept it clean? I would imagine not too many of us. No …

It all Starts with Temptation

On April 14, 2014 By Paul RoyIn morality, Uncategorized1 Comment

As we near the end of Lent I thought I would write about temptation. At the beginning of Lent we hear about how Jesus fasted in the wilderness for forty days and then was tempted by the Evil One (Matthew 4:1). And of course we all know the story of Eve and how the serpent tempted her …

You Can’t Go Wrong

On April 7, 2014 By Paul RoyIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I thought I would continue along the same train of thought I started a few posts ago. In the last post I talked about why you should live like Heaven and Hell really exist: Now, here is the point. Wouldn’t it be better to live a Christ-like life with the hope of getting to Heaven …

Are you Rolling the Dice

On April 3, 2014 By Paul RoyIn Christianity, morality, Uncategorized1 Comment

Last week I talked about the sin of sloth. I followed that up with a post about choices. What better way to follow up than to write about making the best choices. While we may or may not agree that we all have free will and are able to make our own choices, there is something we …
