What if the human soul is less like a beautiful castle and more like a haunted carnival?

In this Halloween episode of St. Anthony's Tongue, we journey through the Carnival of Shadows, exploring the strange illusions of the spiritual life: distorted reflections of ourselves, our desperate need for control, the endless cycles of our mistakes, the ache of loneliness, and the terrifying experience of God's apparent absence.

Drawing on Scripture and the great Catholic mystics, including St. Augustine, St. Catherine of Siena, Julian of Norwich, and St. John of the Cross, we'll discover that God doesn't always destroy the things that haunt us. Sometimes, through grace, He teaches us to see them differently.

The carnival is still open. But we're not wandering through it alone.
