Sex and Relationships: Tantra, the Gospel of Philip and What Is Going On.

Spinning Wheels: Ending the Cycle of Political Dehumanization.

As we Catholics engage in the Lenten season of penitence, cleansing, and reflection, I want to also cry out in the wilderness. It is time to resist. And when I say resist, I mean resist the darkness, the dehumanizing urges that steal away our proper sight. I mean, resist the subtle seething of ...

Healing From The Lie Of Purity.

I rose from the ashes of the underworld where I was banished to. I didn’t belong there, but many young girls lose themselves there, too ashamed to live on and face life. And that is why I speak today: for the families of the ones who didn’t survive, for those who did survive but lost joy in ...
