Hi, I’m Eric Sammons – a Catholic, a husband, a father (of seven), and an author. I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of holiness.
- Life. Every human life has an inherent dignity, given to it by God, not government. It’s imperative that a society protect its most vulnerable citizens. This means I’m anti-abortion and anti-war.
- Liberty. I’m a fierce defender of liberty, and I believe that, in modern society, secular governments are the primary enemy of liberty.
- Pursuit of Holiness. The purpose of life is to become a saint. A convert to Catholicism, I have been studying Catholic teaching for more than 30 years.
I’ve been the the Editor-in-Chief of Crisis Magazine since 2021. I’ve written several books, and my latest book is Moral Money: The Case for Bitcoin. I also edited a Sacramental Preparation textbook on the Sacrament of Confirmation. I have contributed over 200 articles to numerous websites, including OnePeterFive, Catholic Answers, Crisis Magazine, AntiWar.com, The Federalist, CatholicVote, and Bitcoin.com.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Systems Analysis (with a concentration in Economics) from Miami University, and a Master’s degree in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville.
You can hear the story of my conversion to Catholicism in the video below. Note that I do open my eyes at least once during the interview.
And here is a video explaining why I consider myself a “traditional Catholic“.
