Pope Francis has released the prayer of consecration he will pray Friday when he consecrates Russia and the Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Please consider joining your prayers with his, both on Friday and every day until then. O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often... Read more
If you watched the Ketanji Jackson Brown confirmation hearings yesterday, you got a snootful of nonsensical grandstanding. I could go long on this and explain in detail why the nonsense was nonsense. But, frankly, if you don’t already know that, you’re not too swift. So, I’ll go short. Here, in list format, is the skinny on yesterday’s Senate confirmation hearing on Ketanji Jackson Brown’s nomination to the United States Supreme Court. 1. The rehash of the Kavanaugh confirmation. 2. The... Read more
I just have to write a brief comment about this. The photo above is a screen shot of a tweet by none other than Republican Congressman Jim Jordan. Evidently, Rep Jordan is still outraged by what Democrats “did” to Brett Kavanaugh. If you’re interested in learning what a nefarious crime this was, just replay the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford. You might also take a brief walk down memory lane and give a look at Congressman Jordan’s history with sexual... Read more
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and Pope Francis of Rome held a virtual meeting a few days ago. In that meeting, the two leaders of different branches of Catholicism disagreed sharply about Putin’s war of conquest against Ukraine. Patriarch Kirill is all for Putin and his slaughter of innocents. He has used his position of Patriarch to deify what amounts to mass murder in the Ukraine. There is no big surprise in this. Kirill, who has called Putin a “miracle of... Read more
It turns out that the late William Hurt wasn’t much of a man. He was good-looking. There’s no denying that. And he gave compelling performances on screen. But off-screen, he beat up the women in his life, and, according to one of them, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin, he raped them as well. Heck of a guy. At least two of the women involved with Hurt spoke openly about the physical, verbal and emotional abuse he heaped on them. Hurt didn’t... Read more
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has announced that he will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, the 25th of March. I’ve decided to pray the Rosary every day, and fast until he does that. I am posting this to encourage you to join your prayers with Pope Francis’ for the next nine days. Unite them to the sufferings of Our Lady as she stood at the foot of the Cross. Through her, join your... Read more
I am pro life. I have marched and demonstrated for several things in my life, including the lives of the unborn. I once even had the honor of helping organize a march for life here in my hometown. I would do it again, anytime. Read more
So, Tuesday was International Women’s Day. I saw a spate of memes on the internet that itemized the ways Jesus honored women and treated them like full human beings, despite the misogynistic mores and attitudes of His era and culture. Everything in these memes is true. But why do we have to keep posting them? Why do Christian women feel compelled to “prove” that God loves them? Women feel compelled to launch these protests in defense of their God-given humanity... Read more
President Biden is banning Russian fuel from import to America because of the war Putin is waging on the Ukrainian people. America has plenty of oil of its own. I drive past capped wells and wells with the pump jacks turned off every day. America has substantial oil and gas reserves. We also have a lot of oil and gas in the ground. The oil is there, and, if the oil companies don’t hold back, it won’t take all that... Read more
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. During that time the devil[a] came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”... Read more
