The Book of Genesis, Chapter 11, verses 1-9 1 The whole world had the same language and the same words. 2 When they were migrating from the east, they came to a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to one another, “Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire.” They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city an...

In one of my Notes, I posted on the question of “Why do Catholics leave the Church?” as a response to this post on social media, Unlike this guy above who is posting his anecdotal evidence, I will be looking at actual studies and surveys as to why Catholics have left the Church.

Does anyone remember a song called “Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days’ (The Judds, 1986)? The singer laments the new culture & society that messed up the proper order of things. The listener is meant to recall that their grandparents grew up in a better time, a simpler time, a more genuine time. People still say the same thing today, in 2025, so I guess we’ve failed to achieve what The Judd’s were a...

The Rosary is a powerful weapon for any man who wants to lead & protect his family. I began learning the Latin version of the Our Father (Pater Noster) and the Hail Mary (Ave Maria) a few years ago and I know how challenging it can be to remember it and pronounce the words, so I offer this to you, if you are also starting off. We’ll be striving together! I start with the Our Father, Hail Mary, and...

Paradox: a measuring tool of the soul, allowing us to learn about ourselves in how we answer it. What prompted me to accept the challenge of this topic? A close family member (an agnostic), mentioned a few arguments he feels casts doubt as to the plausibility of God. I summarize them here: * The unfairness of Original Sin and Eternal Damnation.
