A Chance To Visit Our History

November 14, 2010

OSP

We are the product of our history.  And when we allow ourselves to lose touch with our history, we lose a part of ourselves.  If we want to know how we arrived where we are or became who we are, we need to look at our history. This is certainly true with Catholic liturgy and… [Read more…]

Are Immigration Raids At Mass Next?

ice raid

There is an excellent series of articles at The Catholic Key concerning a recent “tavern check” in Kansas City. For those unfamiliar, a tavern check is when police visit a night spot and check IDs to make sure there are not under-age drinkers, etc.. Last week a large group of officers conducted a tavern check… [Read more…]

Juan Williams

By now just about everyone has heard the story about Juan Williams being canned by NPR for comments made on FOX News.  In fact, even the Chilean miners have heard the story and they really WERE living under a rock.  But as a refresher… Juan Williams was a “news analyst” for NPR.  He was fired… [Read more…]

There is an article at Zenit that you need to read, re-read and then share with every Catholic you love.  Archbishop Raymond Burke, the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura (Vatican Supreme Court) and previously the Archbishop of St. Louis, recently addressed a congress in Rome hosted by Human Life International.  Some highlights: Obedience to the… [Read more…]

george foreman grill

My wife recently received the lovely and much appreciated gift of her first George Foreman ™ grill.  For those culinarily challenged, the GF grill reduces the fat content of those fatty things grilled thereon. This evening, as the burgers shown here were grilling and fat-reducing away, I found myself pondering, “I wonder who remembers what made… [Read more…]

There is another excellent piece over at The Integrated Catholic Life this morning.  This one is penned (keyboarded) by Dr. Peter Kreeft and deals with the subject of evil.  When people have asked me why an all-loving God allows bad things to happen to good people, I have always said three things: So that a… [Read more…]

A Piece Of Liturgical Cake

PaterNoster

There is some degree of angst in certain circles concerning the new, corrected Mass translations appearing in a Church near you in a little over a year.  However, one need only direct those concerned HERE or HERE. If every parish priest and parishioner is required to learn and memorize their particular parts between now and… [Read more…]

The Ground Zero Mosque And Burning The Qur’an

The right to do something does not make it right to do something.  Those who want to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York have every right to do so.  Those in Florida who want to burn the Qur’an on 9/11 have every right to do so. The right to express one’s self… [Read more…]

The Futility Of The “Gay Marriage” Agenda

SSM

The purpose of this post is not to discuss the Church’s teachings on same sex marriage or even on same sex attraction.  Those teachings are well documented and available elsewhere.  (Like here.) Rather it’s to point out that no matter what is legislated by local, state or national governments or decreed by a judge, the… [Read more…]

A Semantic Proposition

Mystic Monk Coffee

I would like to propose a change in our “default” reference to the upcoming translation changes to the Roman Missal. At the moment there are three camps:  There is the “It’s About Time” camp (of which I am a card-carrying member) and there is the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Seeking to Undermine the Glorious Empowering… [Read more…]

Robert E. Miller of Kansas City, MO died this week after a long battle with cancer.  Most of the people who will read this never knew Bob Miller.  I knew him for less than a year.  I will never be the same. When Bob was diagnosed with cancer about 20 years ago, he was told… [Read more…]
