Mother Angelica is as helpful and inspiring today as she was decades ago

 I couldn’t this morning decide what to watch on TV during the time I set aside for that before ‘beginning my day.’ Old reruns of “Sliders?” How about “Farscape?” “Babylon 5?” Maybe pick up where I left off during an interrupted binging of the original “Quantum Leap?” No, no, no, and no. I was restless …

EVERY SINGLE ad placed on Sober Catholic is from a Catholic source; be it a business, publisher, service or charity, etc.  When …

I’ve been writing for Catholic365!

About two months ago I began oublishing articles on Catholic365. It’s a way to earn a little exta money. The emphasis is on the little, but I appreciate the exposure. I am actually hoping to be noticed by folks who don’t navigate to this blog; they can get a taste of my writing and perhaps …

The Catholicpunk Manifesto (Be a militant, misfit, crazy, rebel Catholic and change the culture!)

This is a follow up to Daily Marching Orders from Mary: (Be a militant, crazy Catholic and apply your Marian Consecration!) It basically says the same thing, but provides a different background and different examples and also doesn’t reference Marian Consecration. If you’re a Catholic who read the previous post but the Marian Consecration for …

“Sobriety from a Catholic perspective” as percieved by AI

I hate Artificial Intelligence. I think it’s a potential threat to human existence, but keeping in mind that God is in control and in His omnipotence and omniscience, He is aware of AI and probably has a plan regarding it. Nevertheless, I sometimes ask ChatGPT a question once in a while for fun, and my …

Hot off of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus last Friday is today’s Sacred Heart Friday post on resources to enrich your knowledge of the Sacred Heart!

Sober Catholic Blog Discussion Group on MeWe

As a companion to the Sober Catholic Page on Facebook, I am starting a similar thing on MeWe. MeWe is probably the largest and best known of the ‘alternative to Facebook’ social networks out there. I’ve been a member since early 2015 and am fairly active.   The Sober Catholic Blog Discussion Group is where readers …

Blog overhaul UPDATE! (new from yesterday’s post)

UPDATE: (new from yesterday’s post) Due to some massive new updates to WordPress that are appearing next week (see embedded video if you care), some changes will be delayed, such as the new theme and the subscription thingy. I’ve asked a question in a MeWe WordPress Group about the latter, (admin is the same guy …

And so I published something on Medium today!

Medium is a publishing platform where anyone with writing aspirations can sign up, write stuff and publish it where no one or maybe lots of someones will read it. You can also earn money. The trick to the latter is that you have to join their partnership program and for that, you need at least 100 followers. There’s a lot to …

ATTENTION Subscribers…

I am having issues with the new subscription thingy I installed the other day. I apparently have to manually add emails to the subscription list (I looked around and there was nothing in the settings to allow new subscribers to be automatically added.) I am trying a new option but I’m not how its is …
