Excerpt: Gargoyle Code<\/span> by Fr. Logenecker<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u2026 it is so unproductive to be a pompous papist, after a time even your staunch counterparts begin to bore of you. There is so much in blog\u2019s archives that can attest to that\u2026 the pomposity being on my part. I often wonder, in blog\u2019s infancy, how many people I have offended \u2026 I think I still offend now, but for different reasons. My sublime silliness has been confused for irreverence one many occasions. <\/p>\n

But really, what is cynicism but pessimism with a punch line; superfluous criticism dressed up as a witty retort. That is not true humor, humor with joy. True joy is infectious and hearty. True joy keeps your spirits light when your shoulders are heavy. <\/p>\n

I hope blog makes you smile.<\/p>\n
