I have been a member of the CWG since 2010. Though inactive the past few years I am resurfacing. See my info at cradlingcatholic.com
Besides the harangues of the secular world around us, I have been told directly and have heard among others in informal group settings that the idea HELL exists is ridiculous. The reasoning is, if God loves us how could He ever let any of us go there? How could He make such a horrible place? […]
The past week or so, my head has been wrapped with an ever tightening rubber band, like one of those that make the propeller spin on a toy airplane. I was thoroughly ticked off at the American Atheists who had received permission to erect a monument on court house property in Bradford County, FL. Oh […]

It seemed fitting that his past Sunday’s second reading at Mass was from St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians: Ch 5:1; “For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.” The defining battle of the American Civil War took place exactly 150 years ago at […]

So there I was, listening to the news, wrapping myself around all of this hatred against Catholics and Christians and not understanding any of it, when I noticed the kitchen faucet was leaking. Ah-ha–a diversion. I go into the garage to get my Allen wrenches (they are those little hex-headed thingies) so I can remove […]
When we are newborns and are introduced into our particular family, it is an unknown world. As we grow into this family we take it for granted. Mom, dad, siblings, dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, whatever there may be, become part of our existence. That world is what we know and love and in which we […]
The vacated Papacy has thrust Catholics the world over smack-dab into the middle of an awe-inspiring, historical time in the 2000 year-old life of the church. Most Catholics will stand on the side-lines watching. But we here at the CWG proclaim to be Catholic writers. As writers, do we have an extra special responsibility to […]
OPPORTUNITY FOR A LENTEN “To Do” I don’t know about you, but one of the problems I have always had with the Lenten season is what to either “give up” or what “to do”. I was going to give up bread (I love bread) and failed miserably two days in. Anyway, to the point: My […]
