The strum und drang surrounding the HHS Mandate complicates the issue beyond comprehension for a lot of people. The mandate attacks religious freedom. I think it’s a bellwether of government enforced religious discrimination to come. As such, it as serious as any issue can be. It puts the government of the United States in the position of attacking the first freedom guaranteed to the people of the United States, the freedom to practice their religious faith without government interference.

I skipped posting about The Diet last week. The only thing I could’ve said was “Ouch!” I took a fall about a week ago. Broke my foot. Had surgery.

The doc says it will be about 5 months before my battered foot and I are healed and fully well again. Nothing I had planned in terms of... Read more

The cogent question about any candidate for elective office is always What will he or she do with the power if they get it?

“This is My Body.” The priest says this, then holds the wafer aloft. The bells ring and the church falls silent. “This is My body.” This bread, that, in the words St Faustina gave us, is the body and blood, soul and divinity” of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
