I'm not smart enough to make things hard to understand. Being an idiot is a gift if you know how to use it lol.

And you're welcome. Thank YOU for your support of my work. I'm here to serve, here to help.

Haha you seem like such a lovely man. I honor your mission of helping people become saints. I so want to succeed in that -- I fail a lot, though.

It’s a hard, hard road. Paradoxically, failing is part of the success. Every saint is a failure who won the crown despite their failures. Every saint is a small miracle. When Jesus healed the blind he didn’t give them new eyes. He restored the eyes that they have. The lame were restored;not given new legs or a set of wings to make up for the lack of working legs. Gods grace makes whole ALL that is broken. As a miracle is grace overcoming nature, every saint is a small miracle.

Thanks for your kind words and for supporting what I’m doing here. Please say a prayer for my family. I’ll say one for yours. 🙏

Interesting essay! Very clear and easy to read, too.

What are your thoughts on the problem of too much information, and 'freezing up' in indecision? There are so many contradictory messages about what's right and wrong nowadays - how do I know that my conscience is on the right track?

Some issues have such subtleties that the right can be hard to distinguish from the wrong. Some moral situations and choices have to be navigated by what effects the greater good or the least harm. Sometime too much information can be a distraction and the person needs to decide “from the hip” (intuition) based on then in formation they have, provided they literally can’t process any more information.

- Err on the side of caution, always.

- Decide the course that results in the greatest good or the least harm.

- At a point just decide and trust Gods influence of your conscience.

Does that help you? Trying not to overload you lol

This feedback means a lot because I am always concerned about the experience of the reader, whether something is too long, too hard to follow, etc. Thanks for reading it, brother, and thank you for the feedback!
