A reader writes: I told my wife on Saturday evening that I wanted to come into the Church this Easter. It was not a pleasant 4 hour discussion. She is very hurt, and saddened and has been in tears since then. While not as much as she, I am saddened too. It is very difficult between us right now. My wife is a good woman, raised with awesome morals…her father is a pastor of a large church. She isn’t going... Read more

David Bellavia wants to know if anybody cares that the mission is accomplished in Iraq. I think what he really wants to know is if anybody cares about the suffering and sacrifices of our troops there. I care very much about the latter and thank them from the bottom of my heart for their often heart-rending self-sacrifice. About the term “mission acccomplished”: I don’t know what to make of the claim that the mission is accomplished. Given that Iraq will... Read more

I read this story on CMR. It would appear that Lucia Cies is a staff member at St Vincent’s Hospital Santa Fe. I entered her name into the hospital search engine and it came up.

A friend of mine, a lawyer out in the Midwest who was an immense and invaluable help in writing Mary, Mother of the Son took it ill when the pigs who author Triablogue decided to release their inner swine last week.

My own response to such... Read more

My dear lickspittles and sycophants: I am informed by the ever-hilarious Chris Johnson that somebody named Peter Kennedy–The Man Who Threatened Rome–is currently making Holy Mother Church quake in her boots by addressing Anglicans and saying, well, pretty much what room temperature apostate Anglicans say to one another yet again. Mr. Johnson has expressed a fair and just demand that “You owe us, Rome. BIG time.” I therefore bid you go offer to assist Mr. Johnson in whatever way he... Read more

has two really great posts up. One is a hard look at the mythology about the supposed Catholic acceptance of belief in witchcraft during the so-called “Dark Ages”. Read and learn. The second is a terrific account of his father’s incredible courage in storming the beach at Iwo Jima. Let us now praise famous men! What do you *mean* you haven’t read his novels yet? Get going! Read more

You. MUST. approve of gay marriage or be pushed out of the public square. The purpose of gay marriage is to provide a foundation for persecuting and punishing the Church. The Church will survive, of course. What may not survive is the United States if the gay brownshirts succeed in crushing the Church’s involvement in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy that keep our strained society from overheating and burning up. Read more
