 “Hearing nuns’ confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn”


“We become like that which we love. If we love what is base, we become base. But if we love what is noble, we become noble”


“Who is going to save our Church? Do not look to the priests. Do not look to the Bishops. It’s up to you, the lairy to remind our priests to be priests and our Bishops to be Bishops”


“Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong even if everybody is wrong. Right is right even if nobody is right”

A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on the way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.


 “The Rosary is the best therapy for these distraught, unhappy, fearful, and frustrated souls, precisely because it involves the simultaneous use of three powers: the physical, the vocal, and the spiritual, and in that order.”
