St. Mary of Egypt went from sex-addict to canonized saint in the fourth century. Tonight's podcast is the verbatim account of another 4th century saint describing her life in 40 minutes. His full written account of St. Mary of Egypt can be found on my blog, here. Thanks also to Fairuz' Good Friday Lebanese Catholic song “Kamat Mariyam” as the music bumpers found here.
The ABCs of Salvation is: A) Ask for Faith. B) Baptize. C) Confess. This is what a priest needs to think of every time he goes outside, every time he faces an emergency, every time he thinks of COVID-19.
What Happened? A 14 year old Catholic girl in Pakistan named Huma Younus was kidnapped on 10 Oct 2019 by an adult Muslim named Abdul Jabbar of Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjab Province, who wanted her as a sex-slave for life. He has obtained her for just this sordid purpose. Her family's attorney, Tabassum Yousaf, said, "We have not heard anything from her. Her situation is heart-wrenching. The longer she remains in the hands of her kidnappers, the more she will suffer sexual and mental abuse.” Tabassum Yousaf was able to bring this case to court four months after the kidnapping, but he told Morning Star News: "The hearing on Feb 3 lasted [...]
This page is just a footnote to the post The True Account of Alana Chen.
I, Fr. David Nix, led about 20 Colorado University students to Rwanda in 2014. Upon return, Alana Chen (then at CU) encouraged 20 CSU students from our Africa trip to write letters about my character when it was doubted by older folks back in the US on issues of pastoral kindness. This was around one of the very last times I saw her (2014) and she sadly died this past weekend (7 Dec 2019.) I am extremely grateful for her defending my good name even from the grave, when doubted on similar issues of pastoral kindness towards University students this past week of mourning her loss. May God grant salvation, [...]

My rule of life has been tentatively approved by the Archdiocese of Denver and it includes much prayer and some ministry.

Despite what I’m going to write here, I would dissuade any readers from watching anything on HBO. It’s a very lewd channel and I don’t want to go to Purgatory for extra time for you watching The Young Pope or anything else on that channel on my account. What I put together below came after talking to friends and researching the episodes. The Young Pope was a TV drama series produced in Europe in 2016. When the liberal Pope dies, a controversial and conservative young prelate named “Lenny"(Jude Law) from the U.S. is elected to the throne of Peter. He takes the name of Pope Pius XIII. His rallying reform [...]
Kelly, Michael and I discuss how pride in the Catholic life is not completely unlike the satanism of the New Age. We discuss the supreme importance of humility in the crisis in the Church. What is the connection between New Age and the heresy of good works? Control.
In today's podcast, Kelly Nieto discusses her conversion from New Age to Catholicism. The featured image on the blog is a picture I took of Indian "dreamcatchers" placed by the Amazon Synod folks into the Church of Santa Maria Transpontina in Rome last month. Notice the diabolical-looking garment next to the basket.
