Have a Blessed Triduum

Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal ·

2026/04/02

The Triduum is upon us. These are the three days in which we walk with Christ through his darkest moments—those times that were so monstrous because of us. It’s also a time in which we see so clearly that He knows what it is to suffer in every way, not only in the more direct manner as upon the Cross, but in the preparation for that end: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/have-a-blessed-triduum

Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal ·

Outrage Is Not a Moral Vision: Lauren Southern’s Regret

Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal ·

2026/01/21

When a Diocese Undermines Its Own Vocations

Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal ·

2026/01/07

A diocese’s seminarians reflect its spiritual ecology. So why dismantle what was working? The Diocese of Charlotte is delaying ordinations and stripping seminarians of their cassocks, while forcing them into a year of lay work mid-formation.

Unworthy of justice: When ideology determines victims

Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal ·

2026/01/04

There is a growing ideological trend that seeks to deprive those broadly considered to being “on the right” of any and all rights, through dehumanization and the systematic exclusion from key institutions.

Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal ·

2025/12/16

Five books stood out this year. In an age of excess, noise, and content masquerading as wisdom, these were rare companions: books that changed the way I think, pray, judge, and remember. From Boethius on suffering and providence, to C.S. Lewis’ medieval imagination, to ecclesial indifference, and the loss of ritual, these are books worth keeping and rereading.
