Here is a link to the now infamous picture of Pope John Paul the Great wearing the glasses of U2′s Bono. The pic is hosted by Flickr.

This is a wonderful story about true faith in a man working toward ordination to the priesthood. It’s all about love and forgiveness. Go check it out!

First, read this story. OK, the question that first comes to my mind is “would Jesus have gambled”. You know, it doesn’t really matter. I can picture him sitting around a campfire with the Apostles playing cards for lovess of bread. Of course Jesus would always win by having the most loves of bread . [...]

The world was in shock today when it was learned the earthly leader of over one billion Catholics has human failings and possibly even cavities. Film at eleven.

You read it here first folks. Reading this story is all it took for me to have a matter fit only for confession. I used the horrid “f” word and called this poor judge all manner of names a good Christian should not call another human being. May God forgive me.

I just saw where my favorite Prairie Priest posted these two great jokes here on his blog. Two men considering a religious vocation were having a conversation. “What is similar about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders? ” the one asked. The second replied, “Well, they were both founded by Spaniards — St.Dominic for the Dominicans, [...]

I haven’t seen a whole lot of buzz about this around the blogosphere. The film about the early career of Pope John Paul the Great will be on the Hallmark channel tonight. I am hoping for a rerun, because I’ve got to be in to the office early in the morning (0230) and I’m going [...]

According to Zenit and many other outlets, Papa Ben is working on his first encyclical. I can’t wait to read it, even though I have no idea what’s going to be about. I’m kind of hoping for something good on the liturgy, but only time will tell. What do you guys think it’ll be about?

This Sunday our pastor Fr. Steve ended his homily by going a little off-topic. He of course brought up the terrorist attack last week in London. He solicited prayer for the victims. Then he made a very interesting point about the terrorists. After pointing out that killing in the name of God is always wrong, [...]

If you remember the condor cartoon I linked to a few ago, You might like Doug’s new cartoon too. Go check it out! Here Comes the Bride

There’s an offical prayer published by the diocese of Rome to ask for intercession from Pope John Paul the Great. Hopefully God will shower us with miracles that will confirm his sainthood. Here’s the prayer: O Blessed Trinity, We thank you for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the [...]

The Philippines has lost a great religious leader. The Church militant have lost a good and faithful shepard. He worked for justice in times when there was none in the Philippines. May he continue to be a intercessor for his Kababayan. Read the story here. Eternal rest grant unto them oh Lord. And may perpetual [...]

America’s Roman Catholic bishops have voted overwhelmingly to continue permanently barring abusive priests from church work, despite deep misgivings about the policy written at the height of the clergy sex abuse scandal. Good! This shows some common sense. The following however does not… Some prelates believe the plan violates Catholic teaching on redemption ‚Äî that [...]

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 [...]

Below is a link to a pretty funny parody of Jack Chick’s stuff told from a Catholic perspective. Take a look! “Does this Shock You?”

That right, it really does say “15″. More than 3,000 people squeezed into the Cathedral of St. Paul May 28, spilling into aisles and cramming into the choir loft, to witness history. Fifteen men were ordained priests for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, the largest number in more than 40 years. This is [...]

It just doesn’t make sense to me. I mean, what are they thinking? I guess I just don’t understand why if their Catholicism means so little to them that they would participate in this mock ordination, why they don’t just convert to Anglicanism and become a “priest” in that Church. Patrick’s got the best blog [...]

Well, it looks like the Vatican is switching to Sun. Of course I see this as complete justification for my recent job change in going from an HP shop to a Sun shop. Well, that and the fact that Suzette and I now live in a city we’re proud to call home.

Read the story here. It’s always touching to hear of someone who has sunk so far in the pit of sin and depravity and pull themselves out of it. Michael Ross brutally murdered eight women. Those eight women who suffered at his hands should never be forgotten. They should always be in our prayers. But [...]

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 [...]
