Fr James Martin Looking Confused (Pic Credit: Fr Dwight Longenecker)

Celibacy? Gay? Fr. James Martin? Whazzat?

. . .just what exactly does this “good celibate gay priest” look like?  Undoubtedly there are a good number of Catholic priests who experience same-sex attraction.  I believe many of them are holy, hard-working well-adjusted men.  Their sexuality has been accepted & integrated & by God’s grace they have mastered their lusts & sublimated their sexuality into their priestly vocation.  However, they do not describe themselves as “gay”. . .

The Mistreatment of the Eucharist (Pic Credit: Joshua Davis from Facebook via ChurchPOP)

The Hard Truth About Mistreatment of the Eucharist in Our Parishes

. . .The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is really, truly, & substantially present in the Eucharist (both the bread & the wine).  Which means that if even a small part of a host falls to the ground during communion, that small bit is Jesus himself on the floor, maybe being walked on. . .

Holy Communion by Angelo Graf von Courten (Credit: Crisis Magazine)

A Modest Proposal to End the Vocations Crisis

. . .Communion in the hand is an approved practice, but one which is only juridically “tolerated.”  No matter how antediluvian this may sound, it is the reality.  Moreover, no intelligent Catholic would maintain that Communion in the hand alone caused a decline either in devotion to the Blessed Sacrament or in vocations to the priesthood.  On the other hand, no intelligent Catholic would deny that Communion in the hand holds a principal place in the constellation of factors that have led to these declines. . .

5 Books that Walked Me Back to the Faith

. . .Crossing the Tiber.  Journey Home.  Coming Home.  However you label that decision to go all in on Catholicism, the process is never without heartbreak & loss.  After falling in love with my non-Catholic husband & subsequently falling away from my Catholic roots, we spent 17 years roaming the Protestant landscape.  My everyday life friends were also deeply steeped in our schooling & faith community.  Therefore, when we left that faith tradition, we inevitably had to leave behind some sweet relationships that just did not survive the departure. . .
