📜✨ NEW SONG: HONOR IS NOT WORSHIP, KAREN” — Honor isn’t a PIE… it’s a FLAME. Some folks treat honor like a zero-sum pie: If you give *any* honor to Mary or the saints, you must be taking a slice away from Jesus. But Catholics don’t think of glory like pie. We think of it more like a flame. Lighting another candle doesn’t “steal” fire from the first—it fills the room with more light. And that’s the point: when a saint shines, it’s not competition with Christ… it’s evidence that Christ is real, powerful, and still sanctifying people. That’s why the Church uses three different words: • **Latria** = adoration / worship — **God alone** (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) • **Dulia** = honor / veneration — the honor given to God’s friends, His saints • **Hyperdulia** = the *highest* honor beneath worship — given to Mary because she is the Mother of the Son And here’s the easiest analogy: You can honor **Michelangelo** by praising *Michelangelo*… and you can honor him by standing in awe before the **David** or the **Pietà**. Admiring the artwork doesn’t detract from the artist. It magnifies him. Same thing with Mary and the saints: honor given to the “work of grace” magnifies the “Artist.” 🎶 **“Not a Goddess, Karen”** — a catechetical snark-track for converts, cradle Catholics, Scripture nerds, and anyone still stuck on “Catholics worship Mary.” 💬 Comment with your favorite analogy: **PIE** 🍰 or **FLAME** 🔥Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

📜✨ NEW SONG — HOLD FAST People love to say Paul taught “faith alone.” The problem is… Paul never actually says that. “Hold Fast” is written in the voice of Paul — a reminder that his letters weren’t addressed to unbelievers, but to baptized believers, already given grace, warned not to lose what they had received. Paul talks about perseverance. Discipline. Obedience flowing from faith. And yes — the real possibility of being disqualified if we stop running the race. If Paul were writing today, this is what it might sound like. 🎶 HOLD FAST — out on all platforms. 📆 Programming Note: Starting today, January 12, I’m shifting to a Monday / Wednesday / Friday release rhythm. I LOVED making videos every day, and I MAY go back to that cadence at some point, but for now, fewer drops = higher quality, better time management. As always, I’d genuinely love your thoughts: Does this sound like Paul to you? What lines hit? What should I tackle next? 🎧 LISTEN Available everywhere music is streamed: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE X: https://x.com/petersbarque Instagram: https://instagram.com/petersbarque TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@petersbarque Facebook: https://facebook.com/petersbarque YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 ⚓ Just a Quick, Playful Reminder I’m not a professional musician — I’m a catechist using modern tools.

So… it’s been one heck of a month + change. 😅 Tomorrow (Sat, Jan 10) is my last day of *daily* Peter’s Barque posts... But don’t worry — Peter’s Barque isn’t stopping! It’s just graduating from “unhinged daily sprint” to “sustainable long-haul.” 😄 Starting Monday (Jan 12, 2026), I’m switching to a MWF cadence: New song every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 AM CST. Why? Because I’m trying to keep this going into 2026 and beyond… while also maintaining gainful self-employment and being a husband and a dad. 🙃 The bonus: this cadence gives me room for ✅ “bonus” drops on feast days / liturgical moments ✅ occasional extra content ✅ and even some real progress on Peter’s Barque Español 🇪🇸 Seriously — thank you for all the support, comments, shares, and encouragement. You’ve made this month a blast. ❤️ (And if you’ve got opinions on the MWF plan, I’m all ears.) 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Website: https://petersbarquemusic.com X: https://x.com/petersbarque Instagram: https://instagram.com/petersbarque TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@petersbarque Facebook: https://facebook.com/petersbarque YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 🎧 LISTEN Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 ☕ SUPPORT (If I had a threshhold of regular patrons, that COULD shift me back to daily posts) Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque Sail with me...Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise
