Why Our Culture Hates Suffering — and What That Reveals About the Anti-Christ

Image
We live in a culture that cannot tolerate suffering. Katherine's latest must read essay: Anything that asks us to endure, repent, or carry a cross is dismissed as cruel, outdated, or “unhealthy.” But Scripture warns us that the Anti-Christ will not appear as a monster. He will sound compassionate. Reasonable. Therapeutic. He will tell us exactly what we want to hear. This essay explores why the rejection of suffering is not progress but a spiritual danger — and why Christianity without the Cross becomes something else entirely.

Rediscovering reverence, confession, and the life-changing power of the Body and Blood of Christ in our daily lives and families

Image
In an age of empty confessionals and casual Communion, many Catholics quietly wonder what difference the faith really makes. This article returns to St Paul’s sobering words in 1 Corinthians 11:27 to rediscover why the Eucharist is not a symbol, but Christ Himself, and why how we receive Him matters. By recovering reverence, confession, and a living faith in the Real Presence, we begin to see the extraordinary power of the Eucharist to heal, transform, and renew our lives and families.

Is Pope Leo XIV Weak on Venezuela — or Faithful to Catholic Teaching?

Image
The capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces has sent shockwaves through international politics. World leaders are divided, international bodies are alarmed, and even within the United States the debate is fierce. Was this a long-overdue act of justice against a brutal tyrant, or a dangerous breach of international law? In the middle of that storm stands Pope Leo XIV. Some Catholics are frustrated by his response. Others see it as prudent. Many are unsure what to make of it at all. In a new long-form article on Catholic Unscripted, I take a careful, unsentimental look at what Pope Leo actually said, what he deliberately did not say, and how his words compare with the reactions of governments, the United Nations, and major global powers. The piece also examines a largely overlooked tension in the American debate: how can leaders now claim Maduro’s capture was unlawful when previous U.S. administrations publicly offered tens of millions of dollars for information leading to his arrest...

N.T. Wright, the Rapture Myth, and the Forgotten Catholic Hope

Image
Most Christians have been taught that the goal of faith is to “go to Heaven when you die.” But that isn’t actually the Christian hope. In a recent piece, I engage with N.T. Wright’s critique of Western Christianity and his insistence that the New Testament points not to escape from the world, but to resurrection, new creation, and God coming to dwell with humanity. Along the way, I look at why rapture theology and End Times speculation miss the heart of the Gospel, how Greek ideas about the soul distorted popular belief, and why the Catholic vision of resurrection still makes better sense of Scripture than the evangelical escape story ever did. This isn’t about scoring points against other Christians. It’s about recovering the hope the Church has always proclaimed, even when we’ve failed to explain it well. If you’ve ever felt that something was off with “fly away to Heaven” Christianity, this piece is for you. 👉 Read the article HERE

The Traditional Family is God's Instrument

The Traditional Family is God’s Instrument — a powerful reflection for the end of 2025 and the start of 2026 on the role of the family in God’s plan. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨ In this beautiful piece by Fr Sean Sheehy, we’re reminded that God chose a family — the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph — as His instrument in the world. The article explores why a stable, God-centred family — rooted in marriage between a man and a woman, is essential not just for society, but for raising holy, virtuous adults. It shows how the health of society flows from the health of the domestic church at home.
