Here’s how this week’s arts and culture column begins:

“Let’s make Catholicism weird again,” is the cri du jour (cry of the day) of today’s “influencer” crowd. Again? When has it not been weird?

For starters, we have a Savior who speaks in parables, who commands us to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and who then hangs suffering and silent, nailed to the cross. Can anyone possibly imagine Jesus trying to “curate an image,” or taking a selfie, or impugning his integrity trying to be popular or “trending” or cool?

    Heather: just read your column, asking about credible witness names….check out Irving “Francis” Houle. He is a holy man from the UP of Michigan… Had quite a following here in Northeast Wisconsin, where I live, although I never met him. If you google his name you all find his case for beatification. Appreciate you, Heather. Thanks for sharing your life’s work with us. Blessings, Todd
