What could it hurt? *cough*
Just in time for today’s readings. But, you know what? Maybe Jim Beam, Makers Mark, and other distilleries in the area will be willing to do business with them. The monks and nuns? Not so much. [Read more...]

In adoration before Our Eucharistic Lord…
It’s been a week since World Youth Day wrapped up and everyone checked out of Rio and headed back from whence they came. Pilgrims from every clime and place, reinvigorated after resting awhile with their peers, their Church, and the Lord.
A lot of hoopla was made about some of the events. [Read more...]
Women Rally In Front Of The White House To Protest HHS Mandate, Media Ignores The Story
August 2, 2013 By 1 Comment
It happened yesterday. From what I gather, no one was arrested or anything. Unfortunately, no one from the mainstream media outlets covered the story either. Sandra Fluke wasn’t there, so it wasn’t newsworthy. Figures. [Read more...]
What Millennials Really Want From The Church
August 2, 2013 By 1 Comment
I reckon lots of Millennials are numbered here…
That is the big question du jour it seems. An answer in a piece written by Rachel Held Evans at the CNN Belief Blog sort of went viral last week. Soon after, Hemant Mehta (a blogger on the Patheos Atheist channel) also had a piece up over there, basically telling folks that atheists are HUGE on the internet, and the Jesus story is a myth so, why not throw in the towel?
Interestingly, all of the hubbub seems to be following in the wake of the Barque of Peter’s 28th edition of World Youth Day, which wrapped up celebrations in Rio de Janeiro this past Sunday. [Read more...]
In Search of Pageviews, HUFFPOST Reanimates Slain Dragon of “Ancient Christian Gay Marriage Rites”
August 1, 2013 By 1 Comment
Here I go again…
Seeking to capitalize on Pope Francis’s recent remarks on not judging gay priests, no doubt. It’s déjà vu all over again.
The Catholic Channel’s own Ryan Thursday Adams tirelessly picks up his hammer and stake in a bid to put this narrative to bed one.more.time. [Read more...]
The Chinese Chesterton’s Thoughts on the Influence of Christianity on Common Law
July 30, 2013 By Leave a Comment
It’s been a long time since I shared thoughts here from my faithful departed friend named John C.H. Wu.
I won’t bore you to death with the details of his life, as I’ve already done that in numerous posts before. Remember when he likened Saint Thérèse of Lisieux as having the mind of Lao Tzu, with the heart of Confucius? He’s written some amazing stuff. [Read more...]
Pope Francis Wants YOU To Be An Intentional Disciple

Who, me Lord?
Shouldn’t comes as a shock really, as Jesus Christ wants the same thing from us too.
Here’s a little snippet of Andrea Tornielli’s report on Pope Francis’s message to the leadership in South America, and to the episcopate everywhere. [Read more...]
For Father Z’s Bad Analogies. Not.
July 28, 2013 By
Back on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, I shared a little video called St. Patrick’s Bad Analogies. It’s a clever little video noting how when trying to use analogies to describe the Triune God, it’s easy to find yourself in the dire straits of ancient heresies. [Read more...]
“That our own government is knowingly displaying such a lack of tolerance for faithful Christians is outrageous”
July 26, 2013 By 10 Comments
Still at it, I see…
So says attorney Erin Mersino. I agree. I’d also agree if our government displayed a lack of tolerance for the teachings of faithful Jews, Muslims, Quakers, Mormons, Hindus, et al, too.
So a couple of lawyers are throwing another log on the HHS Mandate lawsuit bonfire. Catholic News Service has the skinny, [Read more...]
