… The President hearts homosexuals, haven’t you heard. The news made Andrew Sullivan get all teary eyed. Now Hollywood is more in love him and wants to give him all their money for his campaign, meanwhile I have friends who have been out of work going on two years and $40K is more than I make in an entire year. Never mind the economy, attacks on religious freedoms, and the gazillion bazillion dollar national debt. Nope, the country is being... Read more
… among claims of anti-Catholic rhetoric and ties with organizations supporting abortion and contraception, like Planned Parenthood. It would appear the Girl Scouts is an association involved in practices not in line with Church teaching and so a formal investigation was been launched. It will be interesting to see what results the investigation reveal. I’m not a big fan of the Girl Scouts myself but those feelings are based on my own personal experience with the organization from my childhood... Read more
… ‘Feel Good Friday’ presents two videos and one post. Every time a child is aborted love is denied. Below you’ll find the story of Lacey Buchanan, and her son, Christian. Prepare yourself. Brandon Vogt possibly has the cutest kid ever. Except for mine, who enjoyed horrifying Evangelicals in his younger years. From the looks of this video, young Isaiah may have a vocation. And lastly, May is the month we honor Mary but it’s also Mental Health Awareness Month.... Read more

… Leah Libresco asks, “… what’s the first book you’d recommend to someone on the other side to open up a conversation to get them to eventually switch teams?” Ms. Libresco’s question is open to all religions affiliations but for the sake of my Papist sensibilities lets remain focused on Catholicism.

It’s a hard lesson for so many girls to learn. “Why would he kiss me if he didn’t like me”? He kissed you because boys like to kiss. Girls like to kiss too, but for completely different reasons. Girls kiss because first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Suzy with a baby... Read more
So far we’ve seen holy water used as a means of crowd control and now this… H/T Hermeneutic of Continuity Here Fr. Finigan and Fr. Z ponder whether to ‘clink or not to clink’. For those non-Catholics the thurible clinks when it is swung and hits the chain. I never gave the sound any thought, quite honestly.
