The Different Types of Catholics
2011-06-07 15:00:00 There are several types of Catholics: Cradle Catholic, Returning Catholic, (or as I like to say, "A boomerang Catholic), Cafeteria Catholic (pick and choose what you believe about the church), and the Convert. (That would be me!)We all have a story to tell. The following is part of an article written by Teresa Pirola:...

Ignorance over what the Catholics teach about TestTube babies
2010-10-07 04:15:00 When a major news outlet incorrectly implies that Catholics think Test Tube babies are not children in the eyes of God, I must simply protest. From USA TODAY: ‘Test tube babies’: God’s work or human error? Do you think a baby conceived in test tube is still a child in the eyes — or mind or ...
Just realized there are a lot of Catholics on this team
2010-08-16 07:32:00 When I think about linebackers, I think about a group of guys that blasts Metallica and Godsmack in the weight room, grows their hair long, and just flat out loves to hit people. They're the bullies. So when you think of this linebacker core, you think of the backbone of the defense, the guys that call the shots, the guys that inject some kind of fire into a defense. You think of this guy. Okay, he blasts Bon Jovi. I wonder if this was his wedding song. More after the jump....

Gays Versus Catholics
2010-02-16 16:00:00 On Valentine's Day, activists organized a Kiss-in in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris,but they had to move the event to the Latin Quarter because the police said they couldn't protect them from violence threatened by ultra-conservative extremist Catholics. After the Gay Kiss-in in the Latin Quarter in Paris, some GLBT folks went to the square in front of Notre Dame Cathedral anyway to hold another Kiss-In, where they were met by some 200 extremist Catholics. The group was immediately attacked by the extremist and the activists had to take refuge in a bar. One participant, Killian, 31 years, described the scene: "With 5 or 6 friends, we said we'd go to Notre Dame. We knew that if...

Penn and Teller anti-Catholics
2009-09-02 06:30:00 It's better to be loved than hated. This is only true if you're loved and hated for the correct reasons. Conversely, it's better to be hated than loved if one is hated unjustly and doesn't truly merit love. I take great pride in my Catholic faith when somebody, in order to attack it, has to lie. Such is the case with Penn and Teller's show on the Vatican. The funny thing is that there are some legitimate, if less dramatic, criticisms they could have made. Instead, they went for the conspiracy theorist, "all evil flows from..." angle. Bill Donohue has a response here. I plan on asking for a rebuke of lies (only) from CBS representative Nancy Tellem: nancy.tellem@tvc.cbs.com I don't have time to go over the show, but let me just rebut one: the Church has saved millions of lives in Africa because of her teachings on condoms and chastity.

We'll go to church.The Mayor went on to insist that he had to have dress clothes just like those his father wears to work in order attend.He hounded me about this every day this week until I took him to Macy's and set him free with my credit card.In the image of the Father? Indeed.Let us pray. At the church mass, there was a whole lot of talk about Jeremiah.[Not the one who was a bullfrog.]The Priest read something from the Bible..."Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture, says the LORD."[I pity the fool who misleads my flock!]"Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against...

The Five Best Sites for Modern Catholics
2008-09-17 10:44:00 Sometimes it's difficult to find places on the web that have up-to-date information on Catholicism and its teachings on theological, moral, and social issues. The majority of Catholic based sites are either outdated, or focus solely on Catholic news, rather than issues that affect the Church or individual belief. Below are 5 sites that are exceptional in presenting the Catholic worldview effectively on a wide range of pertinent topics. Catholic Answers - When it comes to apologetics, the guys at Catholic answers are by far the leaders in the field. I personally do not care too much for their written resources on the site, but their radio show is absolutely invaluable. The guests on their show are always relevant, and often they have shows dedicated to a particular topic of interest. They also have Q and A shows that are focused primarily on audience questions. I highly recommend subscribing to their radio podcast. Biblical Evidence for Catholicism - This website (operated by ...

Where I'm From - in poetry
2008-05-13 02:22:00 My Great-aunt, "Big Clara" (the tall one),as opposed to "Little Clara" (the shorter).Colleen, of Loose Leaf Notes left a comment on my blog yesterday and I found myself at her blog, thanking her and having a nose around to see what she is all about. She is a brilliant writer, who writes from the heart and writes in such a way as to immediately draw you into her world. I have added her to my links in the sidebar.At Colleen's blog, I read a poem entitled "Where I'm From". Upon reading it I began to wonder if she would think it too bold of me if I should attempt a similar type of poem since it was such a wonderful expression of who she is. I was pleased to notice that she actually attributed this poem to another person's blog and that there is in fact a template for anyone who wants to write one like it. I can see Michelle Hix of Sont les mots... taking this on, or perhaps Fenny . Here is the link to the template and a bit of the history of the origin of the piece. You can rea...

Ward Of The State
2008-05-09 11:46:00 After denying it and enlisting talk radio show listeners to support him, former SF KGO talk radio host and priest Bernie Ward faces five years in the pen for admitting kiddie porn. Ward's lawyer still insists he was merely "play-acting." Au contraire. SF's ABC7 finds Bernie's been a "predator" for years. SF Gate: Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years. Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station's charity drives.Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe at one point Ward and/or his surrogates suggested Ge...
