.@LibsOfTikTok — I found a pedo groomer for you. He lives at 1600 Penn in DC.
Excited that my new book is out. I examine the Biden era & Catholic identity, the first Trump administration, LGBTQ Catholics & the Church, the growing influence of Catholic women and more. Thanks @EJDionne for the foreword. Thoughtful blurbs from @GibsonWrites & @JamesMartinSJ
I have prayed for this day to come. Thank God his disordered influence on seminarians is over. His teachings had a profound influence on my abuser who then destroyed my life. Ralph is not a trad. He's a charismatic renewal cult member who encourages environments & attitudes that…
The firing of Ralph Martin and Eduardo Echeverria from Sacred Heart Seminary (which I've confirmed as true) is an act of a thin-skinned, petty tyrant. It's not about advancing the Gospel; it's about power and control. Note that neither Martin nor Echeverria are "trads"—they are…
I have interviewed 50+ people who claim their lives were destroyed by Ralph Martin’s leadership in the charismatic renewal. It is a scandal to many that someone with his history (which includes ceremoniously shunning a disabled woman) has been allowed to run roughshod this long.

and then Reagan got elected
America in the 1970s Probably afforded this lifestyle on one income
It wasn’t when Chesterton said that Jews should be forced to wear distinctive clothing so everyone else can know who they are in public life.

Thanks to @mikerosenwald @nytimes for giving my girl the send-off she deserves. I will always be proud that I got to be her biographer. nytimes.com/2025/07/22/sci…
It's an irony of my life that the deeply anti-intellectual, skeptical-of-book-learning fundamentalist church I grew up in also bequeathed to me the greatest English language literary gift I could have had as a writer, the King James Bible

Fathers don't usually die during childbirth
It's funny how after the birth of a baby, announcers declare that "mother and baby are doing fine". What about the father??
Today I joined hundreds walking to the ICE field office in Detroit, motivated by a truth that flows from the Gospel: Everyone has inherent dignity. We recognize this dignity above all else and seek to bring our nation back to its roots of charity, accompaniment, and welcome.
