"The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." — Pope Benedict XVI "To live without faith, without a heritage to defend, without battling constantly for truth, is not to live but to 'get along'; we must never just 'get along'." — Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

Un-A-Paul-ogetically Catholic — rooted in Scripture, formed by Tradition, and aimed squarely at the people who've drifted to the edges of their faith.  Passionate in outreach to  the ones who've drifted, doubted, or have strayed from their faith — calling them back without softening the message. My work has consisted of opinion and academic writing collaborations. It has been shaped by Dominican and Carmelite spirituality. A decade in Protestant ministry before conversion. And the conviction that sometimes our deepest sufferings become oure greatest blessings.
