Ahoy!

I created this blog to combine the two things I love most my Catholic faith and the romance of piracy.

I know that real pirates were the opposite of the ideal Christians. They stole things, they killed people, they drank excessively, they caroused and they cursed. They were the greatest sinners of all time.

News flash-we are all sinners. Some of us may even put pirates to shame. Which is why I am thankful for my Catholic Faith. Our Lord gave us the sacraments, because we are sinners and he knew that we would need these life preservers on our faith voyage.

What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to share my adventures with you and to share my love of my Catholic faith with those who may feel the same or those who do not know anything about Catholicism or those who are completely turned off by Catholicism. "Adventures?" you may ask. It's true I do have some amazing adventures, since I am actually a pirate re-enactor and a fairly new Catholic. In fact, I have decided to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, so that I understand the Church and her teachings better.

So join me if you dare, I won't guarantee that the ride will be smooth, because I'm not the one in charge of this ship. I am merely The Powder Monkey.
