I ask your prayers for him and if you find the time to post this, the prayers of your readers. I ask the Blessed Virgin to bring him to Our Father in prayer, and... Read more

While the rest of Christendom was opening presents, eating too much chocolate, singing and generally making merry, TurretinFan was toiling over this, his latest punch at the false religion of Rome. Note the date and time the first link was posted. Even funnier are the comments, in which barely concealed whoops of triumph are emitted by somebody or other because *three whole hours* have passed since the time of the second posting and no Catholic has *dared* to reply!!!

is a secular Jew and self-described recovering liberal. She’s been feeling the need to connect with God, and made the mistake of applying to the Thing that Used to Be Anglicanism. No luck. They aren’t into God so much these days. I was talking to my screen and saying, “Dudette! Whyncha walk over to St. Albert’s Priory and go to Mass with the Dominicans?
