Pope Francis seems to be talking about missionaries who cross borders to share the Gospel. I agree with what he says about that. But I’d like to add that we need courageous people who will be missionaries for Christ to our own fallen culture, here in the “Christian West.” Do you hear the call to speak more about your faith? Is God asking you to share Jesus with those around you? That is a tough call, but we all have... Read more
 Brian Cahill, a former director of the San Francisco Catholic Charities, recently wrote an article which was published in National Catholic Reporter claiming that the Catholic Church is headed toward becoming a “shrinking cult.” It appears that this is the latest in a number of salvos Mr CAthill has fired against the Catholic Church which once employed him. When Mr Cahill retired in 2008, he made a glowing statement about his 8 years of service as the Director of... Read more
Are we fighting World War III, only on a piecemeal basis? Pope Francis seems to think so. Read more
 Iraq’s ambassador to the Holy See says that stories of ISIS’ plans to assassinate the Pope are credible. My personal reaction is that of course they want to murder the pope. They are evil right down to the ground, their real god who animates all they do is satan himself, so of course they would like to murder Jesus Christ’s own Vicar in the world. But we don’t have to guess about this. According to an article in the... Read more
 Ndi Nyina wa Jambo — I am the Mother of the Word Today is the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. I remember years ago, a constituent of mine, a Hispanic gentleman of great faith, talking to me about all the visitations Our Lady had graced the world with in the past century. Something’s going to happen. He told me. I nodded and pretended to understand, but, in truth, I didn’t. It was only later, when I went to... Read more
 Oklahoma City High School Bans Firefox from Student Computers Because of Mozilla’s Support for Gay Marriage. (Not So.) Did you do a double-take when you read that headline? It is, I hasten to assure you, not true. As in, I made it up. I made it up to make a point, and that point is that what’s good for the politically-correct goose ought to also be good for the traditionalist gander. According to Fox News, California’s Ventura High School... Read more
I’m late to the party. But then, I often am. It takes me a while to think through certain events. There are also times when it takes me a while to care about certain events. The three cardinals — Dolan, Kasper and McCarrick — and their grand slam of confusion is a case in point. I’m going to take their statements/actions one at a time. Lesseeeee ….  Cardinal Dolan and his parade. It seems that the New York St... Read more
 My husband and I were leaving church. He was driving. I got out my iPhone to call a friend about plans for the evening, and a local newsfeed I subscribe to flashed the message across the screen. ISIS had murdered another helpless prisoner. It was the beginning of my Sabbath, so I didn’t click on the link or look at the video or read about it. Until this morning. I’ve now watched the video and read a few reactions.... Read more
President Obama “dropped by” National Security Adviser Susan Rice’s meeting with Eastern Christian leaders for a forty-minute discussion about the Christian genocide in Iraq. From Catholic News Service: WASHINGTON (CNS) — Eight Eastern Christian leaders spent 40 minutes talking to President Barack Obama about the situation of Christians and other minorities in the Middle East. “We felt how deeply moved he was by what was happening to the Christians there,” Lebanese Cardinal Bechara Rai, Maronite patriarch, said at a Mass... Read more
