But that lucky old sun

Ain’t got nothing to do

But roll around Blogwatch all day…

I’m back from NH, but feeling sickish, so posting may be light until I am back on the attack. For now, why not check out these fine people?

Church of the Masses: Great post exploring the “Christian as leaven” metaphor, and also giving us a sneak preview of her upcoming Nat’l Catholic Register column: “Applying the Holy Father’s philosophy of personalism to entertainment and the arts would be a wonderful beginning. How can some methods and themes in entertainment inhibit broad human freedom? How can certain stories make us want to be more who we are supposed to be? We can propound the idea that entertainment is not optional, but a constituent element of human development. There are places we need to go in our entertainment time to stretch the muscles of our inner person, our soul and psyche; places that our normal worlds of work and activity will not take us. There are diseases of the human spirit that mere reality cannot heal.”

Dappled Things: The rending of the Temple veil and the rending of Christ’s flesh.

Shrine of the Holy Whapping: Catholic bumper stickers. Including:

Biretta on board.

Support your local Subdeacon.

To err is human. To really screw up, you need a liturgist.

We have a penance for that.

My altar boy excommunicated your honor student.
