Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, A Blessed Feast of the Glorious Assumption of Our Lady! In previous newsletters, we have commented on the similarity between the current crisis of faith and morals and the situation that existed in Jerusalem prior to the destruction of Solomon’s Temple and the Babylonian Captivity. As we have documented elsewhere, “collective amnesia” in regard…

Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! Recently one of the members of our leadership team asked me to comment on criticism by enemies of the Church who fault Her for incorporating into her sacred iconography the ancient motif of a pelican mother who cuts her own breast to feed her children. According to the critics, natural…

One of most painful experiences of my life has been to watch people in positions of authority use their power and influence to bully truth-seekers into submission to their institutions’ cherished myths.

While I’m extremely grateful for your generosity, I am in absolute awe of what you and your collaborators have been able to produce. I have watched every minute of it. Words escape me! I was talking to a friend about it and said, without realizing the significance of my words immediately, that I had realized I had been in a war, and that I was quite wounded, but I hadn’t realized until now, that I had actually been a prisoner of war. Only after being released did I start to understand the full extent of the situation. It seemed the best description I could come up with to explain to him how I felt. A few moments later I realized just who is your patron saint. I was left a bit breathless. St Maximilian Kolbe is now entrenched in my prayer life! I have been a priest for nearly 25 years and before that a nurse and scientist (I have a PhD in reproductive physiology). Hence I’m not a spring chicken. Never did I hear an interpretation of Genesis that the earth was …
