Due to my rehosting the blog on WordPress.com and heavy traffic on the posts reviewing the Penn & Teller show that tried to smear “the Vatican” from last year, I have copied those posts to pages. The beginning of the review can be found here. Thanks for your support!

Penn & Teller Take On the Vatican – Part 1

This post has moved to this new Page.
It’s been eight months since I’ve written anything, as I’ve been particularly busy with work and family life. Also, these last couple of months, I’ve been reading quite a lot. After several years of owning a copy, I have been reading The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis. This book seems to be an [...]
Remembering the Reason for the Season
Posted: December 20, 2008 in UncategorizedTags: Christmas, holiday, holy day
As the Christmas season quickly approaches (no, we’re not there yet!) I pause to observe how Christmas has been commercialized to the point where a truly traditional Christmas celebration would seem archaic to most people in the USA today. Also, many stores have eliminated all references to Christ, Christmas, and in a few cases, even [...]
"Muslim Convert to Catholic Faith Founds Pro-Life Political Party in Europe"

Anti-Christian Violence in India

Sadly, there has been an upsurge in violence against Catholics and other Christians in India, a country often associated with religious tolerance, rather than religious persecution. Catholic Online has a petition for support of Catholics in India: http://www.catholic.org/catholicaction/india/. Please pray for all Christians in India, that they may be free from persecution, and that they [...]
Cardinal Stafford's pro-life talk at Catholic University
Posted: November 21, 2008 in UncategorizedTags: Humanae Vitae, pro-life
It is interesting to see how the pro-abortion / pro-licentiousness crowd often frames these discussions as tirades by irrational old men, when the arguments put forth by the Church are, in fact, quite rational and logical. http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=30665
