You are either Catholic or you aren't. No, this isn't an attempt to convert everyone out there to Catholicism, but rather it is directed to those who claim to be Catholic, yet don't follow the teachings of the church. They pick and choose which tenets of the faith to follow and decide the others aren't …

I’ll Sing You a Song
While at Mass today I was thinking about how many people learned to sing at church. Now, I am not talking about singing well, but at least where you can somewhat read the music for the Hymns and follow along, knowing about how long to hold a note or whether you need to sing higher or …
They Just Don’t Get It
While working on something else today, I came across an article, written right after Pope Francis became Pope, and it is a perfect example of how people, especially Americans just don't get the Catholic faith.

Nancy Pelosi: A Catholic’s Catholic, Not
Everybody's favorite "Catholic's Catholic" Nancy Pelosi is at it again. Being the true Catholic she does her religion on Sunday's in church.

Sunday Reflection: What I’ve Failed To Do
