In the absence of a real deadly pandemic, tricky wording and white lies are enough to fool people. In Texas, a month ago hospitals were at capacity. That seems alarming, but a surge in deaths did not follow. We only heard about the cases. A hospital administrator and a mayor say they need refrigerator trucks for the dead bodies. This is just a shoc...

The burden of proof is on those who say COVID-19 is too dangerous for our healthcare system to handle. The original measures to slow the spread were meant to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. The only places that were overwhelmed were inner city hospitals where, arguably, there was widespread malpractice: putting patient...

We are at a breaking point. 

It's like  T.S. Eliot said, “a Christian society only becomes acceptable after you have fairly examined the alternatives.”

Or, if you prefer Winston Churchill, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others that have been tried."

These are two of the foundational systems of our civilization: Christi...

It's not America anymore when select interest groups can drown out voices. The society the mainstream media depicts is a piecemeal, cherry-picked narrative that simply forwards an agenda. I just got back from a road trip, driving from New Jersey to Houston. If it were not for the masks people were wearing and some podcasts I listened to, I wouldn't...

Even as states and nations continue to open up while not seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths, lockdown measures are still in effect across the nation and world. How is it that COVID-19 justifies just about everything a socialist state would do to its people? Is it just a coincidence that this virus is allowing authorities to:

• Close churc...

You would think the right to not wear a mask would be obvious, but in today's world, fundamental liberties are being trampled upon, so I need to explain why I will not wear a mask. 

1. It spreads bad germs worse and good germs less. Masks cause me, and most other people to touch our faces more than we normally would because masks itch and need...

We are being told certain workers are "essential" and others are not. Therefore it is necessary to explain why, first of all, no authority has the right to deem who is essential and who is not; but furthermore that every job is essential whether granted that classification by the authorities or not. 

Any of these reasons alone would be enough to ill...

There is so much information regarding SARS-CoV-2, I think it's necessary to share the info that flies below the radar. Here are some widely-respected doctors who are saying the lockdown of our society is a bad idea, and providing the data to back up their position. 

• Dr. Daniel W. Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, owners of Accelerated Urgent Care...

This article was updated on May 17 and May 21, as more data was discovered.

We now live in a world based on charts and studies that record the deadliness of COVID-19, so I will keep trying to point out how unreliable these charts and data are.

In the chart on this page, the number of deaths from all causes in April in the U.S. is approaching a concer...

Charts and articles throughout the internet are saying there have been about 47,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the U.S and 848,000 confirmed cases, as of April 23. Using these numbers, the death rate would be 5.5 percent. These raw numbers are supposedly what have justified the lockdown of our society. But as we learn more about how widespread the vir...

More research needs to be done regarding COVID-19 deaths. Questions I have are:

• How many people tested positive for COVID-19 but then died of something else? In other words, was it death from COVID-19 or death with COVID-19.

• How many people were tested for the virus, died before the results came back, but then had COVID-19 written on their...

The world was made to be lived in. It is not natural for people to be confined to their homes.

Many people may think we are taking action with COVID-19. We're told locking ourselves inside our doors is the best action we can take; but hiding inside is the very opposite of action. If this virus is as serious as we're being told, we should all be doin...

We read during Lent many stories and verses proclaiming how God manifests his glory through healing the sick. These passages are meant to symbolize the sickness of sin, and how Christ cures us from that as well. In John's Gospel we read, "And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Je...

Masses are canceled in dioceses across our land due to a pandemic that needs no introduction, but apparently the other causes of death in the U.S. need re-introduction: heart disease - about 655,000 deaths per year; abortion - about 638,000 per year; cancer - about 600,000; the common flu - about 59,000; pneumonia, which has a death rate of 10 perc...

Just as a refresher, I'd like to give a brief overlook of what Rambling Spirit magazine is about, and its unique role in young adult communities and the new evangelization.

Catholicism is not just about faith and morals -- it's not something that can be confined within our church walls on Sunday -- rather, our religion offers a full worldview tha...
