Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other because Jesus Christ has also forgiven you. St Paul My goodness we’re all perfect and holy. We’re also fragile. Oh, so fragile. I went off-line for the Sabbath and when I come back, what do I find? A veritable meltdown of comments both here and on Facebook declaiming that, since I plan — and yes I do plan to do this — to Accept Father Dan Letourneua and his new bride as... Read more
From LifeNews.com: Dr. Jack Willke, who was often considered the father of the modern-day pro-life movement, has passed away. A medical doctor by trade, Willke, along with his late wife Barbara, crisscrossed the nation in the 1960s and 1970s teaching people about the fight for life and helping set up some of the first state and local Right to Life groups combating abortion before and after the infamous Roe v. Wade decision. Willke is the past president of National Right... Read more
Somebody, somewhere decided that Oklahoma is “underserved” by abortionists. That’s what they think the women of Oklahoma need: More abortionists. Personally, I can think of a whole slate of things the women of Oklahoma need more than they need another abortionist. I know a lot of Oklahoma women who’ve had abortions. Wish they hadn’t, but they did. Not one of them — not one — had any problem obtaining an abortion because of a lack of abortionists. However, Trust Women, a... Read more
I know I’m supposed to get all in a lather about this. But, frankly, I think it’s ok-ish. Father Dan Letourneau, who until recently was the pastor at what we Okies call St Joseph Old Cathedral in downtown Oklahoma City, has been outed as a married man. It seems that last November, Father Letourneau secretly got married. He then tried to hide it and continue his work as a priest. He succeeded in this until just recently, when the Archbishop...

Representative Sally Kern’s HB 1599 passed out of the Oklahoma House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee this week. The vote was 5 to 3 in favor of putting the bill on the House floor. If it becomes law, HB 1599 would have four effects. I am going to put my comments in bold to help you follow the thinking on this. 1. HB 1599 would prohibit the expenditure of state monies for “any activity that includes the licensing or support of same-sex... Read more
The version of the Crusades being pushed by the media and much of our educational bureaucracy is not history. It is propaganda. The idea that Islamic Spain was an Edenic “Ornament of the World” is obvious nonsense. I say that it is obvious for two reasons: The treatment of Christian populations throughout the rest of the territories conquered by Muslim invaders belies it. Even more to the point, the long-term and desperate war that the Spanish people engaged in to... Read more
This is the real deal. Coptic Christians know and understand martyrdom. Evidently, before the 21 Christian men were beheaded by ISIS a few days ago, they testified to their faith in Jesus Christ. They are true martyrs, saints of the Lord, who are in heaven right now. This video is, like so much that comes from our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ, deeply humbling. Lent is a good time for us to consider the question: What will we do with this... Read more
This video is from January, 2014. At that time, the Muslim Brotherhood was subjecting the Copts to violent discrimination, including kidnapping their women and girls, selling them into sex slavery, or forced marriages in which they are “converted” to Islam. Two weeks ago, 21 Coptic Christian men were beheaded in a ritualized manner by ISIS. Before they died, these martyrs to the faith proclaimed their faith in Christ. Read more
Cardinal Wuerl delivered a powerful homily on the present-day Christian martyrs yesterday. “We can go out those doors with ashes on our forehead … however … there are parts of the world where that will just as well be a death certificate,” he said. “There are parts of the world where Christians are regularly martyred. Where their churches are destroyed, their homes burned, their children sold into slavery. “The first thing we owe our brothers and sisters is a sense... Read more
