… I just don’t give a rip, to do so would give their efforts a credence they don’t deserve. Yeah, it’s in poor taste – a obvious distortion and mockery of the 40 Days For Life campaign – but when has Planned Parenthood ever acted in good taste? They are never going to “stay classy”. I mean, really… look at these guys. Pathetic and laughable; certainly not anything Satanic. Again, that would suggest their prayers would be in the slightest... Read more
… “In Fells Point, Maryland, there is the Ale Mary’s Bar. The light-hearted fun includes, holy water font snack bowls, a monstrance on the bar, and a ‘Chalice Club’ (yes, members can drink beer from chalices.)” When I first saw this post by Fr. Richtsteig, I thought it probably not the best idea to use sacramentals in such an ordinary way. I followed his links to these two sources, but they both fail to capture the true level of in...

… “A Brit named Laurie Penny was crossing Sixth Avenue in Manhattan and looking the wrong way. A taxi was headed directly toward her when, lo and behold, heartthrob Ryan Gosling came to her rescue, grabbing Penny and pulling her out of the way. It was a classic “man saves woman” story. Who doesn’t love that? Apparently, Penny. A self-described feminist, Penny was insulted by the media’s response. “I really do object to being framed as the ditzy damsel in... Read more
… This is Albert. He is the Tony Soprano of chickens. Albert wants you to share with me all your online resources for chicken husbandry. So far I got My Pet Chicken and this link with homemade coops. He is not pleased with my progress. Read more
I find it a strange puzzlement when non-Catholics partake in the ritual of receiving of Communion. Especially when they do it a manner that so blatantly mimics the sacrament of Catholics – well, without the Real Presence of course. I understand it’s just a symbolic gesture to non-Catholics devoid of any sacrament, more like a toast… “To Jesus!” “Cheers”. Some have described it to me as commemorating the event of the Last Supper, like a re-enactment maybe. So why the... Read more
… Despite laughable efforts like this*, Cardinal “My President” Dolan came in 16th in Times 100 Most Influential People; even beating out Barack “Determined to Destroy America” Obama.

I do not pretend to believe that the US is eternal. Like all nations from our past, there will come a time this country will cease to exist. I believe we are upon that time. The only eternal organization that has survived the rise and fall of empires is the Catholic Church. She has endured and will continue to do so until the coming of Christ. America as we know it is swiftly changing into a tolatarian anti-religious country. We’ve... Read more
