The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!


Although I am an ordained deacon of the Catholic Church, the opinions expressed in this blog are my personal opinions. In offering these personal opinions I am not acting as a representative of the Church or any Church organization.

The word of the Mainstream Media

Mainstreamed word


Straightjacket bound, witless, enslaved,

Plugged, budded into a formless,

meaningless world, to offer all 

Its fanciful, unholy word,

As the truth strolls by unseen.


In measured tones, past perfect teeth,

From an alphabet of sexes,

A kaleidoscope of faces,

Prepackaged lies fed to hollow,

Unseeking minds and ill-formed hearts.


Finger clicks reveal the echoes 

Of a subtle and false command,

Consistently calling to spread

Division to those near and dear, 

So all will share their hellish fate.


Embrace our word. Reject traces

Of all the truth you’ve ever known.

The music plays, tuneless and coarse,

Inviting each: Step to the dance, 

Come, stagger together to death.
