A reader writes: Gonzaga U has hired a practicing-lesbian Jewish rabbi to teach Hebrew studies in their theology department, they say she is on track for tenure. I suppose hiring a devout, straight rabbi to teach impressionable young minds would have been too tame. Matthew 18:6-7 comes to mind… Where would Jesuit education be without fealty to the most uber-trendy fads? Catholics should pull their kids out of such schools and write letters informing the school that they will not... Read more

Yet another reader who used to live under Bp. Cupich echoes the other traumatized prolife readers who have written to describe the wreckage wrought on the prolife movement by this shepherd everywhere he has gone: Spokane prolifers should prepare to stand strong without the leadership of their priests who are bound to respect and obedience. It is only going to get worse in the upcoming election year when priests will want to support prolife candidates. The prolife movement survived here... Read more

I have to agree with this reader: Fr Pavone goes on record about protests: The current situation has been thrust upon us; we did not seek it, and we hope our actions so far have reflected adequately the respect we have for the shepherds of our Church. Be assured we are neither organizing nor endorsing public protests of any kind. No, you just publicized them with tweets and Facebook posts. I think he’s right: his actions so far have reflected... Read more

is a civilization-wide effort in the West to get rid of the Big Laws (summed up in the Ten Commandments). It is a bipartisan effort that reaches across the aisle and makes friends of Herodians and Pharisees, Pilate and Herod Antipas, Hitler and Stalin, Obama and Cheney, post-Christian Britain and Eurabian Europe and other unlikely partners in a sort of Satanic Ecumenism. The hope of such efforts, here in the post-Christian West is “freedom”. The practical result is sketch by... Read more

Bronze Age Savages are, once again, in the news: A teenage Pakistani Christian girl who misspelt a word while answering a question on a poem written in praise of Prophet Mohammed was accused of blasphemy and expelled from school, according to a media report on Sunday. Please pray for Christians living under this demonic culture of brain-dead repression. Read more

Today, my minions, is a good day to polish my reputation as a cruel and sociopathic Dark Lord. To wit, I present the following, which will hurt you more than it hurts me: 1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent. 2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything.” 3. Two peanuts walk into a bar,... Read more

A reader writes: I’ll take this opportunity to request prayers for my next door neighbor, a helpful friend for nearly 40 years. He recently had surgery for a second round of cancer and soon will begin chemo. Unfortunately, he isn’t religious and reacted negatively to the offer of people praying for him. His wife, however appreciates such efforts. Father, hear our prayer that this man might know your complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. Grant skill and compassion to... Read more

Please pray for me that I find paid employment. I am out of work. Father, we ask that you would grant your servant a good-paying job where they can do good work. We ask that you would do this swiftly through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Joseph the Worker, pray for our Lord’s good servant. Read more
