Catholics, the storm isn’t coming—it’s already here. I’m talking about traditionalism gone off the rails, bishops making troubling statements, and a culture shaping us in ways Catholics don't notice

In this episode of Fire Branded, I talk about the “gathering storm”—the subtle but dangerous shifts in Church culture that are forming a subculture of traditionalism, how even well-meaning leaders can mislead, and what this means for all of us. It's not just "choosing sides" it's the direction one side is headed in.
