EDIT: Title correction (MSM was MSNBC - it appears to be originating from a mainstream CBS affiliate and MSNBC carried the story and a link to the video at the bottom). I don't rant often, but this one got under my skin because it was utterly ridiculous. Ask yourself this as you read my post and wat...

If you were out in boat as three storms were about to converge over you, would you not drop to your knees and pray? There are many attacks on the Catholic Church today. Groups of so-called Catholics are working in concert to generate a perfect storm for our bishops. The consciences of these so-calle...

To all who read this open letter to US Bishops and the article about which it is written: Please consider emailing this post to your local bishop's office or printing it and sending it via mail.

(Mt 5)11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: 12 Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. We currently have a very good example of a bi...

I'm still catching up on some things. Also, some things were a little later coming than I expected. I had looked for a press release from Human Life International with Fr. Tom Euteneuer's plea to the USCCB to fire Harry Forbes over the review of The Golden Compass, which has since been pulled. A pre...
