Musings of a Catholic Deacon
Tomorrow we celebrate a few of my personal favorite Saints, and they are not commonly talked about, so I thought I'd chime in a bit in hopes to increase devotion to these incredible men by focusing on their leader, St. Kim, as well as share just a smidgen of the incredible story of the conversion...

What does the God of Christianity look like? What do Christians think about God? It might not be what you expect. Transcript: An old man with a long, grey beard who lives in the clouds. Over and over again with this old man and the clouds. Let me be clear: WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN... Continue Reading →
I adore the rich diversity of devotions in the Christian life; the many special prayers, holidays, songs and sacramentals are to me the life blood of the faith. They root themselves deeply into our culture and life, and like beacons of light, guide our hearts and minds towards the Lord in ways as myriad and... Continue Reading →
In this brief survey of the non-monotheistic beliefs of the world, we will look at the major patterns of how people believe the universe came to be. Transcript: Warning! This particular video is a little complicated! If you find your eyes glazing over and you have no idea what I’m talking about, just skip to... Continue Reading →
Today we celebrate the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, and while this is indeed a somber and serious occasion, My mind instead immediately went somewhere else completely.

Since this coming Saturday is the feast of our Lady of Sorrows, now just seemed a good time. Let me start... Continue Reading →
Is there a war between science and religion? If you watch modern media, you might think so! Perhaps the divide isn't as large as we think... I again leaned heavily on “Mere Christianity” by CS Lewis for this video, and well as a video by Bishop Robert Barron from Word on Fire titled, “Bishop Barron... Continue Reading →
I do question and answer sessions with almost every group of people I work with, from sixth graders to hospice care. Everyone has questions, and while I don't always have the answers, so many questions are repeated that I'm at the point where I'm actually pretty good with most questions. This summer, I was asked...

When it comes to where the universe comes from, the world is primarily broken into two camps, the Religious View, and the Materialist View. While I wrote every word, this talk is outright stolen from “Mere Christianity” by CS Lewis, one of my personal heroes and a definitive work on the basics of Christianity. You... Continue Reading →
