•  Quote of the Day

  David Mills on FB (March 17, 2023)  I don’t approve of suspending the discipline against eatin gmeat on a Lenten Friday just because it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Also, I am going to have a hamburger on St. Patrick’s Day because the decision is made above my paygrade and to refuse is Protestant, or Puritanical, or Jansenist, or priggish, or . . . what is the disciplinarian form of pedantry? . . . or something.

  Catholicism is more fun when you don’t try to be better than your bishop.

  Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC@FrMatthewLC (Mar 17,2023) Fetus = an early stage of development of multicellular eukaryotic viviparous animals such as placental mammals. It is the last stage of development before birth after the zygote, blastocyst & embryo stages, all of which are individual members of the species.
