Dear Readers,

I pray you all are in good health & spirits!

For the month of July Big Pulpit will be posting infrequently due to reorganization efforts on my part to ensure frequent posts in the near future.  Last Wednesday my wife and I came down with the Chinese Flu (Covid-19) but have improved dramatically.  We are also going on our first work break in three years this month, which we clearly need.

I have been training volunteers and preparing for post-Vacation this month and last.  Due to the growth of Big Pulpit and the other Little Vatican properties, it is time expand the workforce and do fundraising.

If you are interested in being a non-paid volunteer for The Samizdat Herald, Civilization Watch, and Theopolitics, please contact me at: sophronius(at)fidei(dot)email.  Some WordPress experience would help, a love of news, and a firm loyalty to the Magisterial teachings of The Church.

Prayers for my wife and me and this apostolate would be greatly appreciated.  Comments are open.
