Joe Sixpack -The Every Catholic Guy

Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy is obviously my nom de plume. My real name is Addledorf Clinkerdaggar Rostefuten. (Not really, but if you stay with me long enough you’ll figure out my real name.) As a catechist, speaker and author, I’m beloved by millions of people the world over! Well, actually, my wife and mother love me. So does the house cat, but I think that’s only because I feed him. And now that I think about it, I’m not a public speaker either.

Mrs. Sixpack (affectionately known to me as “The Warden”) and I live in the best rural parish in the whole Archdiocese of St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. Beyond our love of attending the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we enjoy sitting on our back deck to watch the deer and other assorted wildlife, violating our diets about once a week, watching the paint peel when we’re snowed in, and reaching out to share our holy and ancient Catholic faith with other people.

We used to live in the Deep South. Moving to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri a few years ago was a real eye-opener. Would you believe these Ozark folks are so sophisticated that they have the toilet in the house? And if we want pork chops for dinner, I don’t have to go out back and slaughter a pig anymore. I can actually go to the general store and buy pork already cut up! Except they don’t call them general stores up here; they’re called supermarkets. So we “came up” by moving to the North.

These Ozark Mountain people are real well educated, too. Most everyone I’ve met has a college degree. It’s not like the thriving metropolis of Slapout, Alabama. Most people there only went clean through high school. Well, most of the time they were clean.

At the end of the day, we’re as happy as a tornado in a trailer park to be living in our Ozark Mountain home. We have a great young priest, a lot of friends, devout fellow parishioners… and indoor plumbing. (I just can’t get over having the toilet in the house!)

Prior to a devastating stroke, I was an architectural wood carver and furniture maker. I also carved gunstocks and tooled & fabricated leather products. I now make up for my inability to do those things by examining and studying the work of others, taking great pleasure in their talents and abilities. After the resurrection, and (dangerously) assuming I make it to heaven, I intend to ask God to give me a new, fully equipped shop to continue pursuing my passions as a craftsman. I sure hope He lets me, because I really miss carving wood, building furniture and making leather products.

Let me invite you to visit the famous (or infamous, depending on who you are) JoeSixpackAnswers.com website so you can sign up for a free email course that will teach you things about the Catholic faith you never knew. In fact, if you’ll allow me, I’ll teach you everything about Catholicism you could ever possibly want to know.

You will also begin receiving special invitations to attend the free webinars I host each week. All of the webinars, email courses and website are free! I do all this outreach for one purpose and one purpose alone: to help make heaven as crowded as possible! After all, everyone—Catholics and non-Catholics alike—needs to learn more about the one, true Church established by Jesus. The Church is how we all will get to heaven, you know. Give me souls; keep the rest!

And always remember one thing: Comfort and Conviction don’t live on the same block!
