Where Peter Is continues it’s look at the Number One Media Enemy of the Pope: Raymond Arroyo, perpetually-auditioning-for-FOX-News host of The World Over on the Network that Used to be EWTN: The second part of this series will take a somewhat different approach than part one. In the first article, I highlighted several of the more unsavory, politically-minded guests he invited to his program. Part two will focus on one recent (and representative) segment from The World Over Live, in which... Read more
Meanwhile, here is what has *really* been occupying the thoughts of the Mob Boss as he attempts to distract you by lobbing bombs. Note how the childish little thug inserts the Syrian attack in the middle of his blathering about what he really cares about: Comey. Killing people as a tool for distraction. #impeachmentnow Read more
I began writing this as we were leaving Cortez, Colorado (named for Hernan Cortez, Conqueror of Mexico and not to be confused with Cortex, Colorado, Home of the World’s Smartest People). You may notice that this is a considerable distance from Yosemite National Park. In addition, you may note that the last chronicle of these travels purported to include Day 8. Technically, this was true, since we did not bed down at Indian Flats till after midnight on Day 8. ... Read more
Abortions for rich Republicans. Hanging for women forced to get them. Christians, in contrast, support Rachel’s Vineyard and believe in justice for crooks like Trump and his henchmen. Read more
Awoke to drenching, soaking, torrential, endless, pouring rain on Friday April 6. Started writing the second entry of this account. Didn’t get far because Jan, bless her heart, had made us this awesome sausage and egg concoction wrapped in an inner layer of flour tortilla and an outer layer of THE MOST MAJESTIC REDWOOD FOREST ON THE PLANET. It was delicious and, per our custom, I washed up. Then we took advantage of the 75 cent showers and washed ourselves... Read more
…thinks post-abortive women should be hanged. He’s a respected writer for the National Review. And he’s not alone. Idaho GOP candidate for Lieutanant Governor and State Sen. Bob Nonini also thinks post-abortive women should be executed. And they aren’t alone. People wonder why the Old Prolife Movement is in ruins. The answer is: It has become a front for a murderous cult of death in the service of Trump, Mammon, and Power and has nothing to do with life or God... Read more
A reader writes: Hi Mark, this is a prayer request and a little bit of a call to arms. My friend Jacob is in his mid-30’s. He and his wife, Sarah, have 7 kids from 13 down to 1. On Sun., he went to our little rural ER with what seemed to be severe dehydration. They sent him 4 hours away to Denver. He was in in complete liver and kidney failure. In Denver, they tried to remove fluid built... Read more
You can read it here. Do that before reading all the complaints about it that the Greatest Catholics of All Time are sure to spread everywhere in the Christianist, Francis-hating Right Wing Noise Machine Media. Here’s a taste: CHAPTER ONE THE CALL TO HOLINESS THE SAINTS WHO ENCOURAGE AND ACCOMPANY US 3. The Letter to the Hebrews presents a number of testimonies that encourage us to “run with perseverance the race that is set before us” (12:1). It speaks of... Read more
So after I signed off last time, we headed off to Crater Lake, a trip of only 140 or so miles which Garmin prophesied would take us till 6:00 PM. I scoffed. Scoffed, I tell you. Never scoff at Garmin. To be sure, we traveled through gorgeous country, not to mention Gorge-ious country, full of mountainous crags and dizzying ravines plunging down to rushing rapids full of sharp, nasty rocks. It is a place out of Middle Earth. Breathtaking. And... Read more
