Views of a new Catholic in an old world on the joy and inexhaustible meaning found in the Faith
Like a good Jedi. The Empire has conspired to turn the moon into a Deathstar, see, and your support is needed to turn this:
Neat, but no Hyper-drive
into this:
"She's fast enough for you, Old Man."
Yes, this is the petition you are looking for. Sign it, and share it.
That is all.

Howdy folks. This is a mighty wild ride, and let me tell you, the FoC is a rockin’ and rollin’! But the reason I’m calling you in mid-flight is this: I just wanted to thank each one of you who have signed, or shared, or posted the little link that shows the Administration that we believe in the First Amendment, and the whole rest of the Constitution. If you haven’t had the opportunity to sign it yet, here’s as good a reason I’ll ever have to try and push you into action: our Bishops have got our backs on this one. Lookee here: [Read more...]
How weird has it gotten when a right that is codified in the law of the land, and firmly seared onto the nation’s psyche, has to be backed up by another bill? Well that is what we have come to. The Huffington Post, and a whole host of other news agencies, has the scoop.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced a bill on Monday that would override the Obama administration’s new rule on birth control coverage and allow religious hospitals, universities, and other organizations that morally oppose contraception to refuse to cover it for their employees.

See that awesome rocket plane above? Twenty-two short hours ago, that was our new ticket to the top of the pyramid. We had moved from the Blackbird to the X-15. But it turns out that the X-15 was just another step in the climb, see? She was only good for about 4500 knots indicated airspeed. [Read more...]
I mean seriously folks. Why the hell should we care about the HHS mandate? I’ll let Katrina Fernandez tell you why. I just pick the song that goes with it, [Read more...]

Or like Elizabeth Scalia put’s it in her post over at First Things, and in good ol’ American English: Dude…we are church! [Read more...]
Have you seen Junior’s grades? Heh. Yeah, I have.
You know I love “the Kid,” Marc Barnes, right? If you weren’t aware of that, you are now. When he said he was working on a post and needed the Latin for “Don’t Tread On Me,” I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. Here is his An Open Letter To President Obama Concerning Recent Tyranny (With Pictures). It reads like the video below sounds, which is to say, AWESOME! [Read more...]
Oh, you thought the HHS Mandate would only apply to the big Catholic institutions? But what about Catholic small business owners who provide health insurance to their employees? Julie Davis of Happy Catholic, explains the Catch-22 the Mandate willfully creates.
If you think so, that is just a load of egregious twaddle. Speaking of which, Joanne McPortland can help disavow you of that notion.
Skinner and the Smoking Man will haul you in for questioning. Be afraid. Be very afraid. They will send black helicopters to abduct you. The IRS will audit you. Also, the Men in Black will visit you with that little doohickey that erases your memory. [Read more...]
