For a variety of reasons I took an unplanned and unintended vacation from blogging here. It’s been over 5 weeks since my last post, that one on “Should a Catholic attend AA meetings? I heard they’re bad…”. I just approved a few comments, so if you had written one, sorry it took so long to get a round tuit.
No big reasons for the disappearance, apart from a desire to distance myself from online life (which I should not afflict this blog with) and I have been rereading the classic book “Mystical City of God,” by the Venerable Mary of Agreda. There have been other books to that I’m reading. A heat wave a few weeks ago also sapped energy and desire. Not a great excuse, but that’s what I’m running with now. (St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe would be extrememly unhappy with me, if I was one of his friars.)
Expect a few posts soon. (Maybe today!)
I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
Everybody needs a break sometimes…especially from online life. An explanation isn’t always necessary. 🙂 I hope the break was refreshing for you; body, mind, and spirit. Welcome back.
Welcome back. Life, I think, happens. Sometimes it happens a lot. Too-hot weather wouldn’t help.
I read in another post (Which I was unable to comment on) that in addition to a Jesuit helping construct the 12 Steps, that the Society of Jesus had since then ceased being Catholic. Could you expound on this? I am legitimately curious as to what has transpired within the Jesuits from the days of Crazy Bill until now which has resulted in their jested lack of Catholicity
Over the past number of years, especially since the Second Vatican Council, they have tended towrds dissenting positions (teachings at variance with orthodox Catholic doctrines.)
