Something for your fridge.

Francis, the Pope

More than once, I have expressed strong concern over the off-the-cuff comments by Pope Francis.  Ever the pessimist, I was concerned about many things that he said – and in some case, things that were merely attributed to him.  And here it is, the day before Thanksgiving, and I see this little gem.  Odd, the …

My, these are strange times.

Mikhail Gorbachev admits he is a Christian: “St Francis is, for me, the alter Christus, the other Christ. “His story fascinates me and has played a fundamental role in my life.” Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith, no one can please God, for whoever is brought near to God must believe that he exists and that …

Don’t you just hate it when a baby lives.

Critics of in vitro fertilization cite, among other things, that multiple embryos are used and destroyed.  One couple who was unable to conceive and “so wanted a baby” now disclose that they are “pissed” upon learning that they are blessed with twins.

I’ll tell you how it looks: like one big unexpected gift for the church and the world. Everything about Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s …

Attacking Mother Teresa.

You gotta be pretty brave . . . or incurably stupid to attack Mother Teresa.  If it’s the latter, you’re a shoe in for the next Secretary of State. Was Mother Teresa not so saintly after all? Researchers spark controversy by claiming her care of the sick was ‘dubious’ and handling of cash ‘suspicious’ A …

Where’s the Beef?

Or, Apparently Chicken Little is littler than we thought. Or, Chick-fil-A serves its customer a bunch of bull. Or, Having won the fight, Chick-Fil-A surrenders.  Apparently, more than the fries are French. Chick-fil-A stopped funding traditional-marriage groups in an effort to open a new Chicago restaurant, but the company initially kept quiet about the decision, …

Playin’ it in Peoria, baby!

“A Call to Catholic Men of Faith” If the Catholic Church – and I mean anyone from any diocese – ever calls me for advice on what needs to be “fixed” about the Catholic Church, I would tell them two things: 1) get a better sales and marketing department; and, 2) restore masculinity to the …
