“…When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them: And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people: Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head.” (Ezekiel 33:2-4) 
Welcome to Catholic Watchman. The webmaster makes no claim to the spiritual ‘watchman’ role referenced in Ezekiel but rather is a watchman warning the Church of the dangers within and without in the modern world. There is a serious crisis in the modern Catholic Church…if you don’t already know that then this site will help you realize it.
There are so many websites/blogs/podcast/social media pages out there that no one has time to read them all (particularly since some are encyclopedic in length). Everybody has an idea on how to ‘solve’ the problems. Some catalog so many failings in the Church that the temptation to hopelessness can arise.
Here is how the Catholic Watchman proposes to make some, small positive impact in the crisis we live in:
- Featuring selected news links to highlight some of the ‘best’ analysis, events and news on the problems facing the Church for knowledge
- Featuring selected new links to show positive things that are happening in the Church throughout the world for encouragement
- Cataloging and organizing select links by subject for easy, later reference (since most appear chronologically and disappear online)
And, always rememberthat the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Victories, has given all Catholics the tools they need…
“Scapular, Rosary, Miraculous Medal: here are three things that the Immaculata herself has deigned to offer for the salvation of mankind.”
St. Maximilian Kolbe ~ July; 1925
…and the promise of ultimate victory of Christ and His Church through her intervention…
“In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph.”
Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917
