Course Correction
Technical difficulties gave me time to reflect on future content.
If you are a Catholic striving to live Catholic family life or foster Catholic culture in today’s upside down world, you are not alone. There is a growing number of Catholic clergy, families, and individuals who are participating in a vast culture war for the survival of Western (Catholic) Civilization.
My motivation to participate in this culture war by writing about Catholic truth and culture in relation to family life has not waivered in the least.
If you noticed I have not posted in the past two weeks, it is because I was having some technical difficulties with the website, but those issues have been resolved. I would, however, like to take this opportunity to give you an update.
Two weeks ago “The Way of the Family” had a monthly readership of 7,000 views. After launching in January, those are numbers I never expected to see so soon. Thank you for your interest and support.
Many people have expressed an interest in reading my homilies, which are about living the Gospel in the 21st century from a first millennium (Church Fathers) perspective, so I have decided to take those out from behind the paywall to make them more widely available.
Less people are interested in specific investment advice than I imagined, which is just as well, because I would rather focus on topics more generally related to family life, i.e. parenting, marriage, and general household management.
The practical result of these reflections is that I have simplified the way you can engage with “The Way of the Family.”
I reduced the number of newsletters from four to two: “Way of the Family” and “Homilies.”
All the content is now free.
If you would like to make a donation to support my work, you can upgrade to a “paid subscription.”
If you would like to “chat,” I have opened up that feature on the site, as well.
Action to Take:
Please take a moment to manage what newsletters you would like to receive with your subscription. To manage your subscriptions-
click on your Substack profile ( the circle in the top right hand corner of the webpage), then
click on “manage subscriptions.”
Under “Notifications”, you can decide which newsletters you would like to remain subscribed to.
There are two newsletters to choose from: The Way of the Family and Homilies.
Thank you for your readership. If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this email or ask questions of general interest in the chat.
Blessed Lent!
