This episode with my heart began a couple of months ago. Or maybe not. Truth told, my heart has been an on-going cause of problems ever since I had my heart attack 8 years ago. The story is too long and too repetitive to tell you all the details. It would take a book. So, I’ll go back to the beginning of this specific string of events that led me to where I am now and tell you all about... Read more
Well that didn’t take long. America’s bishops passed a unanimous statement calling for the just treatment of immigrants. They also released this video. Two days later, Tom Homan, Trump’s “border czar,” yapped back. In predictable Trump Regime fashion, Homan made grandiose and false statements about the work he is doing and attacked his critics — in this instance, the Catholic Church. Homan said that he was “saving lives.” That’s not true. People have died in his concentration camps. People have... Read more
Mary is the Mother of God, but she is not the “Co-Redemptrix” or “Mediatrix of all Graces,” and it is “not appropriate” for Catholics to refer to her in this manner. That is a blunt summation of the longish doctrinal note, Mater Populi Fidelis, published by the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith and signed by Pope Leo week before last. Of course, the Vatican, being the Vatican, smudges the edges of the teaching by allowing that, yes, it... Read more
The USCCB has released a powerful video expressing the American Catholic bishops’ opposition to the inhumane and illegal treatment of immigrants in this country. The video also outlines what has been the Church’s consistent call for comprehensive immigration reform that protects this country and also provides protection for immigrants from traffickers and those who would prey on them. The bishops stated that the source of their teaching in this matter is the simple reality that all human beings possess what... Read more

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. Hosea 8:7 Last Tuesday’s election was a big 180 on the part of the voters of this country. The message it sent in terms of the overall dissatisfaction people are feeling about the direction of this country was decisive. It turns out that I’m not the only one who loves America. I’m also not the only one who wants to live in a democracy instead of a military dictatorship. ... Read more
Our health care premiums are going through the roof. The same money that bought a week’s worth of groceries when Trump took office will now feed your family through Thursday. Food banks are begging for donations because they don’t have enough food for all the people who are showing up. Troops are in our cities. The wrecking crew tore down our White House. Bribes are flowing in. Billionaires are raiding the national treasury. Corruption is wide open. Lies flow like... Read more
Pope Leo’s prayer intention for November is really a call for conversion to people of faith the world over. The Holy Father is asking us to pray for “collaboration” between and among the world’s religions that we may “work together for peace, justice and fraternity.” It is a sad fact that many faith leaders of the different religions waste their own lives and destroy the lives of others by working for the exact opposite of peace, justice and fraternity. There... Read more
Good morning my friends. I didn’t plan to do this, but I think I must. I’m going to take a day or two for prayer. Writing these posts requires me to read and research extensively, and that means I take repeated deep dives into the evil that is besetting us. My sister died last May, and I am still grieving. Reading and writing about the destruction of America on top of that can be hard. There are days when I... Read more
Trump didn’t want to move into the White House. He called it “a real dump.” We the People have been paying for his disrespect of our White House ever since he took the oath and was forced to move into what he considers inadequate digs for the king he thinks he is. I don’t have current figures, but when he was in office the first time, his golfing jaunts to Mar a Lago cost us $13.6 million for each trip... Read more
