Tuesday, August 18, 2020 – Today we start digging deeper into each of the four last things, and we will start with DEATH. Nobody likes to talk about death. It is the giant elephant with a flashing neon sign dancing in a technicolored tutu in the middle of the room that everyone politely ignores. However, Read More

Day 154 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Four Last Things (Part I)
Monday, August 17, 2020 – Right, so I let Mr. Flusche pick what we talk about next, and he decided we needed a primer on the four last things. He was in a foul mood at the time because of the weather, but it is a good topic. Frankly, it is a necessary topic given Read More
Day 151 – Let’s Talk About Community
Friday, August 14, 2020 – In order to have a proper discussion about community in Catholic terms, we would need to read the many lengthy sections in the Catechism about community. Then we would need to move into the similarly lengthy sections on the existence of man, natural and divine law, moral law, fundamental rights, Read More
Day 150 – Let’s Talk About Kindness
Thursday, August 13, 2020 – Today we are going to cover the word kindness. While there is not a specific definition in the Catechism, there is a deeper understanding of the word in Catholicism than the general dictionary entry. This is because kindness is one the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. So, let’s define the Read More
Day 149 – Let’s Talk About Humility
Wednesday, August 12, 2020 – There is a sad trend that has been happening over the last…oh…55 years. We have seen a stark decline in basic Catholic knowledge, and I mean BASIC! This, coupled with the meme / cancel culture we have today, has made for some serious cringe-worthy moments. Seriously! My head is in Read More
Day 144 – Captain’s Log: Throwdowns of Each Holy Day of Obligation
Friday, August 7, 2020 – Blessed First Friday! Well, this brings us to the last of our Captain’s Logs (for now). I still need to do one for the monthly devotionals, but given that I currently only have three months (June – August) done, it doesn’t really make sense to do a whole captain’s log Read More
Day 143 – Captain’s Log: Holy Days of Obligation
Thursday, August 6, 2020 – Oh my lanta! I **think** I figured out what was missing from the Captain’s Logs. However, if this is a rehash of something I already posted, well…just come back in a couple of days. Part I: basic intro and what are the Holy Days of Obligation Part II: Canon law Read More
Day 142 – Captain’s Log: Liturgical Infographics (again)
Wednesday, August 5, 2020 – Today is the motherload of seasonal liturgical infographics. I have not done one yet for ordinary time, but…you know…it is so…well…ordinary. (Snort, see what I did there!?) I also need to do these for Traditional Latin Mass seasons. I mean, they are basically the same, but with better titles (AKA Read More
Day 141 – Captain’s Log: (some) Liturgical Infographics
Tuesday, August 4, 2020 – Sooooo…turns out past self already did a Captain’s Log of the Eucharist. I guess that takes care of that! I am unsure if I missed any rundowns. Maybe Holy Days of Obligation? Huh…I will have to figure that one out and get back to y’all. Anyhoo, moving on to an Read More
Day 139 – Captain’s Log: Basic (Vertical) Primers on Church Architecture
Sunday, August 2, 2020 – Annnd…we’re back to the basic primer logs. Today we’ll finish the logs on Church architecture. I believe we covered the horizontal layout a couple of days ago, so that means it is high time for the vertical layout (heh…see what I did there?). Part VIII: inside basic vertical layout Part Read More
