…this story will revolutionize our Church and bring about an entirely new era of revelation: Is Jesus Appearing in the Form of a Cheetoh? Speak to me not, O Infidel, of doubt in the face of such clear revelation! Read more

on Arab Christians. Inconvenient to the Big Plans of various End to Evil types, more than once I’ve been informed in my comboxes that they deserve whatever happens to them for being caught between the hammer of Islam and the anvil of whatever it is Israel wants to do to them. After all, it stands to reason that Israel is always right and never wrong and anything Arab Christians might suggest to the contrary just goes to show they deserve... Read more

Civil or self-aggrandizing, I think that they are on the side of the angels and that the Obama/Jenkins joint nose-thumbing at Catholic teaching and the unborn was a complete disgrace. I think people who try to defend the arrests of protestors like Terry, Keyes or Fr. Weslin (the latter of whom I have more sympathy for) on the... Read more
