The Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast consists of small slices of Alabama and Florida, but it has produced a disproportionate number of Extremely Online priests. Me included!

I wish so deeply that there were a way to get people to stop asking “Are you going home for Thanksgiving / Christmas?”
I am a middle aged adult. The home that I have is the one live in, and calling anything aside from that “home” makes a whole lot of presumptions.

It’s fundamentally unfair that one person can be such a gifted writer and also get layers like this in a biscuit.

I was a burnout engineer, and then a random guy at a retreat house in England said if I did a PhD in theology I could do something really special for the Church. Then I dreamed that Mary spoke to me 3 nights in a row (I swear this is true).
A lot more wild stuff happened after that!

I'm starting to think the debate over the *ordo amoris* earlier this year was in fact a defining theo-political moment.
