Hola Padre Salinas! I hope you are reading this. I am sorry I could not approve your comment to my blog, as it was a little off topic. However, I feel it’s import for people to know what you have to say about the current political state of the government of Spain. I have therefore [...]
TenNapel.com – Home of Doug TenNapel – A Clump of Condor Cells Awesome cartoon….Just awesome. Go look now!
OK. I know the kids just love these Harry Potter books. Personally, I have seen the first movie, but I haven’t read any of the book. I don’t really see anything wrong with them. We just need to make our children understand that it’s fiction. That the magic portrayed in the books is no more [...]
I’ll have to again invoke my “No foul language” rule and pretty much just post the link here. Let’s just say that Marc’s not real happy about this. Read the story here. UPDATE: the Curt Jester has a very good post here with some words from Cardinal William H. Keeler and some excellent comments.
It looks like Pope John Paul the Great’s cause is open. Papa Ben has dispensed with the usual five year waiting period and opened the cause. You can read about it everywhere, including here, here and here.
Michelle Arnold ( no matter what anyone says! ) made a wonderful post today explaining her view on Saints Dominic and Francis and how much she sees them in Pope John Paul the Great and Pope Benedict XVI. Go read it, you’ll love it!
When Pope Benedict XVI was elected? I was in my car. It was one of those Tuesdays that I had to go into the office at 3am, so I was on my way home. If you promise not to tell, I will also say I left about 30 minutes early. My blackberry had gone off [...]
Today is a joyous day for the people of God. He has chosen for us Pope Benedict XVI to lead his flock!
I can remember when he was elected. It would only be a year later that my mom would start me at Saint John School back in Memphis and three years later that I would be baptized and welcomed into The Church. I remember his election so well because I was so fascinated by the smoke. [...]
Terri’s execution is complete. May God have mercy on us all. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Hat tip to Catholic Light for this one. Too bad there’s no justice in Florida.
I never thought I would say this, but three cheers for Rev. Jackson…….
I got this in my email yesterday…… It’s just a bunch of words, but it really makes you think about current events. Here’s a riddle for you: If it happens to a dog, it’s cruelty. If it happens to a child, it’s abuse. If it happens to a prison inmate, it’s cruel and unusual punishment. [...]
OK…..Here we go. As if it wasn’t bad enough that the news wires persistently call this a “right-to-die” case, these “journalists” are obviously promoting their own agenda by continuing to distort the truth. It’s no wonder so many people are against saving Terri’s life when they are getting fed crap like this: Schiavo’s husband, Michael [...]
That’s the slogan of Judge Greer. On his order, Terri’s feeding tube has been removed and she will slowly starve to death, which is one of the cruelest most inhumane ways to kill someone. Yet Judge Greer has ordered it be done to Terri even though she has not been convicted of any crime. How [...]
In a win for the cause of life, a judge in Cook county Illinois has ruled that a frozen embryo is a living person and that the parents of that embryo have a right to sue if the child is accidentally killed. Take a look at the story here.
It’s and interesting article, full of speculation. But there’s a couple of things they were off center on. First of all, the Church is made up of three parts, the Church Militant on Earth, the Church Suffering “in” Purgatory and the Church Triumphant in Heaven. The Pope is only the leader of the one part [...]
JPII tried to release the some doves, one of the most popular symbols of peace to the world. It looks like they wanted to stay somewhere where they felt at home. This shows how much the Holy Father wants to spread peace through out the world and what a hard task it is for [...]
Like Saint Gianna Beretta Molla in the last century, We have Rita Fedrizzi in this century. She was diagnosed with cancer about the same time she became pregnant. She refused treatment for her cancer because it would mean ending the pregnancy and therefore killing the child. Let’s all honor her and her decision to save [...]
It’s a day for sad news, sorry. But I have say something about this. The Syriac Catholic Archbishop of Mosul, Basile Georges Casmoussa was kidnapped today but terrorist. Please keep him in your prayers. This is an outrage. You can read about this here, here, here and here.
