A reader in New York City kindly alerted me to a video he discovered on the website of one of the better known Episcopal Churches in Manhattan, Trinity Wall Street. In it, we see the December 6, 2015 appearance of Franciscan priest of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe (and noted writer and speaker) Fr. Richard…
The first time I ever set foot inside the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, I must have been about 15 years old. Having traveled through the night, we arrived in time for the morning Mass that would kick off the day’s events, culminating with the annual March for…
I discovered this beautiful poem by Fr. Abram J. Ryan, an American priest-poet, while researching my article about the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Fell the snow on the festival’s vigil And surpliced the city in white; I wonder who wove the pure flakelets? Ask the Virgin, or God, or the…
Well, hello there, 1P5ers! Nice to see you again. Seems as though we had a little Internet adventure today.

It’s typically bad form to say “I told you so.” (But if you’re going to gloat, do it like Hilary. Then it’s hilarious.) Still, when you are perpetually maligned and attacked for your concerns and predictions, it’s sometimes appropriate to document the events as they unfolded to show that you really were on the scent. (Sorry #Bishopsgotthis…
Earlier this year, I shared a video with you by a young Christian filmmaker named Michael Chang. The video, entitled, “Who Would Dare to Love ISIS?”, was an incredibly moving glimpse into the mind of authentic Christian love as directed to the men are perpetrating unspeakable atrocities in the Islamic State. The kind of love…
In my podcast earlier today, I said I hadn’t read anything from the pope’s Africa visit. That didn’t last long. Tonight, after helping my lovely wife get the kids in bed, I came down to ye olde computer to get back to work and there, plastered on the screen, was a link to the Zenit…
