about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

11,780
I have a suspicion this number will be remembered long into the coming year. A new meme, like Baby Yoda or the white cat at the dinner table. Already on social media I’m seeing things. Find 11,780 more dollars in … Continue reading

Reality TV: Disaster 2020
With the Asian Giant Hornet aka Vespa mandarinia aka Murder Hornet seeping into the Pacific Northwest, a mid-Spring polar vortex settling in the Northeast, and a new comet sliding through the inner solar system that will soon be visible without … Continue reading

More Catholic Than …
… Matthew Kelly. Here. I have to confess I thought Mr Kelly was more a darling of the Catholic Right. The milder part of that lung, to be sure. But here is a denier, it seems, who objects to one … Continue reading
Discrimination
I have my doubts about Fr Robert Imbelli’s doubts on the America editorial reacting to same-sex unions being drawn under the umbrella of civil marriage in the US. To begin with, I’m in something of a protected state with regard … Continue reading

Not Disciples, But …
For those who have given up on Patheos because it’s too smarmingly self-orthodox, here’s a crude but hilarious wake-up call that takes a big poke at the so-called New Emangelization. One commenter there wrote: Gee Larry, looks like you’ve struck … Continue reading
Deep Freeze
Iowa’s really cold days were Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Supposedly it got a little warmer yesterday, but I wasn’t outside much to notice or compare. The young miss sent me this news story. The thought struck me that a … Continue reading

When Liturgists Dream
I don’t usually like to share personal dreams beyond a small circle of family and friends. I think content reveals too much. But this one was just too funny. I had dozed during parish confirmation and didn’t wake until the … Continue reading
Man as Buffoon
I think Pewsitter linked to Msgr Charles Pope’s blog where the lament of the descent of man was in full flower last week. The opener: I’ve raised concerns in the past about the “men are stupid” variety of commercials that … Continue reading

Too Much PPP?
One of the best Catholic bloggers surfaces occasionally at dotCommonweal where, very early this morning (Commonweal time, I presume), he suggested “#enoughalready.” So it has come to this. We are now debating the doctrinal authority of papal tweets and phone … Continue reading
#addawordruinahymn
I have a Twitter thing, but you don’t see it in the margin; I mainly use it for the parish liturgy. And not all that much. I missed a lot of the fuss this week on #addawordruinahymn. It looked mostly … Continue reading

Greetings for Lent?
Merry Christmas. Happy Easter. We Christians hit up our friends and some strangers on big feasts with pumped up versions of hi-how-are-you. Nothing much for Lent, though. If you’re like me, same ol’, same ol’. Have you ever wondered why … Continue reading

More From The Cult of Celebrity
I see David Gibson’s piece on Father Frank, freed. Entertaining, if not informative, are the comments. Including: Yes, we need Father Corapi back, and now Father (Groeschel) as well back on EWTN to be running full speed ahead!!!!!!!!! I guess … Continue reading

The Drowning Christian Parable
Discussed here. Curtis Chang, co-founder of the project Christians and the Vaccine chats about the use of the parable: God sends masks, distancing, and a vaccine. What more could a person want? It’s actually a miracle of institutional cooperation and … Continue reading →
