“Life grows by being given away…

“those who enjoy life most are those who leave security on the shore and become excited by the mission of communicating life to others.”

‘Evangelii Gaudium’, The Joy of the Gospel

partners we love to work with

We are everyday Christians, the frontier of witness with the world.

The smartest thing we can do is rediscover the ability to celebrate what is noble, true, good, and beautiful, wherever we find it.

All truth comes from God, no matter the time, place, or voice.

Let’s renew our sight to see Christ in the arts, sciences, and history, in our own lives and the lives of our neighbors.

We are not masters, kings, or generals. We are servants, guardians, and stewards.

We are not bystanders, but first-responders.

Faithful

We are faithful to the magisterium of Pope Francis and the need of renewal in our modern world.

Traditional

We are grounded in the traditions of the Church, and know that renewal and re-learning is part of growth.

Millennial

With so many young people leaving the faith, we are reconstructing how we talk about and live the Gospel.

Our Mission

When Catholics understand how to live our faith in the modern world, we experience greater personal joy, and confidence in being Christ to others.

SmartCatholics is a one-man passion project. So far. 

Dominic de Souza

Founder, Learner-in-Chief

A cradle-Catholic passionate about how Faith, history, and science meet in today’s world. Born in New Zealand, studied in Fiji and France, raised in Australia, and now living in the USA.

My conversion from radical traditionalism in 2012 launched a personal pilgrimage to rediscover my Faith. I wanted to love and understand Catholicism in the ‘space age’. My guides have been WherePeterIs, Word on Fire, and our Holy Father, Pope Francis.

I begin to realize how much of that must be done in a state of hope. Not resignation. Not revolution. But renewal.

Catholics must rediscover the inner life we are baptized into, and let that life out. Life is worth loving. And living!
