When people have told me that because I am a Catholic, I cannot be an artist, I have had to reply, ruefully, that because I am Catholic, I cannot afford to be less than an artist.

Contrary to what you would think, when catholics preach our faith to you, we don’t do it with hatred, or with a holier-than-thou attitude. We do it with a burning, loving, fire in our hearts, certain that there is an overflowing source of happiness that is open to all. We preach shamelessly and possibly even annoyingly, because we want all of you non-believers to be this happy… We love you, and want you to be filled with happiness.
So next time you’re rolling your eyes at us, looking at us with contempt, condescendingly or even thinking that we are evil… Try to remember that the only emotion with which we look at you non-believers is solely and most definitely love. Just love.
Atheists, I fucking love you.
Pretty much convinced that Father Shane will be the patron saint of the internet, or at the very least of bloggers.

I’ve seen how sadly perverted Christianity can become without rome.
God bless America.
Today, I realized I can pray the whole rosary on the drive back from my girlfriend’s house. My life is blessed.
The moral and spiritual relativism of our society can make the Church’s teaching on sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular appear bizarre, out of touch, and even intolerant. Yet when people cease to base their moral judgments on objective truth, confusion results. All too often they fall victim to lies about the meaning of true freedom and authentic self-expression. True Christian freedom is not first of all an acceptance of one’s own desire to do what one wants, but an acceptance of the truth which sets us free (cf. Jn 8.32).
