There’s a lot of really crazy stuff going on in the world, and I have clearly not had a haircut in too long, but there’s some really crazy good stuff going on, too. One of those things is that I’m officially a published author! The book is called Who Am I, Lord?: Finding Your Identity… Continue reading My Very First Book!

Why Must Catholic Clergy be Called by the Church?

Why Do We Trust the Bible? (And Other Upcoming Talks)
Why do we trust the Bible? And more specifically, why do we trust the Catholic Bible?
So. Much. Popery!
I have two big pieces of news to share: 1) As you might have noticed, I’ve got a new blog layout and a new web address. I’ve switched over from Blogspot to WordPress, which should give me a little more flexibility in designing the page.

She’s actually the second of… Continue reading Help Fund a Nun!
From Pew Potato to Here: A More Personal Note
Joe Bollig wrote a very generous write-up of yours truly in this week’s Leaven. It goes a bit more into personal back-story than I normally do around these parts, including the role of Fr. Andrew Strobl in saving my soul: There was time in Heschmeyer’s life when you could have called him a “pew potato.”… Continue reading From Pew Potato to Here: A More Personal Note

You should be able to listen to it live here, and it should also be live on EWTN Radio. I’ll be talking about whether or… Continue reading I’m on the Radio Monday and Saturday!
