The Vatican filed four separate applications for new domain names, seeking to control “.catholic” and its equivalent in other languages using Latin letters, as well as the equivalent of the word “Catholic” in the Cyrillic, Arabic and Chinese alphabets. Msgr. Paul Tighe, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, told Catholic News Service that the Vatican’s application to control the top-level domain .catholic “is a recognition of how important the digital space is for the church.” Controlling the top-level... Read more

… Once when a priest told me to pray for my enemies I retorted, “But Father, I do pray for them. I pray for the Lord to smite them”. He didn’t laugh. Not even a chuckle. Yes, what was meant as a joke did leave me feeling bad. For a minute. It left me to wonder a great deal longer. I know we are commanded to love our enemies and pray for them but what exactly does praying for an... Read more

… I can’t not conceive of a day when I will ever be bored with Catholicism. I learn new things every day. New awesome things, like that St. Anthony had an incorruptible tongue. No, seriously I had no idea till today. I also didn’t know he was a spouse finding saint either. I thought that was St. Ann… you know; St. Anne, St. Anne, find me a man. Sadly, my knowledge of him didn’t extend past knowing he was the... Read more

… I have tremendous respect for our religious. I mean, that lifestyle is not for wussies. Catholicism is punk rock, y’all. I stayed with a community for 2 weeks once and after the second day I was nothing more than a lazy presence floating about their halls, showing up for noon prayers and only reappearing hours later at Vespers. And bored. Lord, was I bored. But not those gals; up at 3:30 am praying and milking cows and doing chores... Read more

In “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty,” the bishops called for a “Fortnight for Freedom,” a 14-day period of prayer, penance, education and action in defense of religious freedom from June 21st through the Fourth of July. The Fortnight is packed with liturgical and civic significance. It starts on the vigil of the feast of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, martyrs who remained faithful to their conscience despite persecution by political power. Archbishop William Lori, chair of the bishops’... Read more

… I get lots of weird emails accusing me of us sorts of things, mainly accusations involving tin foil hats. Apparently I come off as a tad paranoid. Puh-lease people. Everyone knows aluminium foil hats will only enhance government mind control radio waves. It’s basic science folks. No, I think there are worse things out there then government mind control beams. Like TV programming on TLC. My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding. Really? And here I was thinking gypsies looked... Read more
