Surviving the Fall of the Catholic Church
Welcome! Currently, I post to my own new blog, the Renegade Catholic Blog, which is a continuation of my old Abandoned_Altars blog.
But back before there were blogs, I wrote essays and posted them on my vaious websites. Some still have useful and interesting content, and I occasionally reference them in my current writings, and so they are posted here.
This site combines my archives of essays from weirdload.com and priestsofdarkness.com, and a few from renegadecatholic.com, too.
