Years ago I had a book about “modern saints” that included a biography of this man and a series of photos from all the different stages of his interesting life. I became quite keen on him as a saint and role model. The series of photos, from his unhappy childhood through his dissolute early manhood to his last years, tracked the miraculous change from an angry, bitter and unhappy young man addicted to his sinful life,

Be devoted to something… Home sings me of sweet things My life there has it’s own wings To fly over the mountains Though I’m standing still “Home” Traveling at night, the headlights were bright And we’d been up many an hour And all through my brain Came the refrain Of home and it’s warming fire [Chorus:] And Home Sings me of sweet things My life there has it’s own wings

And that I’m not a city mouse. Latest post on the Home Blog: “For me, home is what life is for.”  

Apparently, Francis Bergoglio doesn’t like First Vespers of Advent. Well, we already knew that he generally doesn’t much like the religious part of religion. More and more people are waking up to the self-evident fact that Bergoglio simply isn’t a Catholic, and that he wants to place himself as the head of an entirely new religion-free religion. He has already abolished or ignored multiple liturgical celebrations of the Catholic year, and has invented quite a lot of new stuff that bears very little relation to the Catholic religion.

In light of these pronouncements of Pope Francis and the principle of dialogue and acceptance of legitimate plurality of opinions, which was fostered by the documents of the Second Vatican Council, the unusually violent and intolerant reactions on behalf of some bishops and cardinals against the calm and circumspect plea of the Four Cardinals cause great astonishment. Among such intolerant reactions one could read affirmations such as, for instance: the four Cardinals are witless, naive, schismatic, heretical, and even comparable to the Arian heretics.

How about this? Francis praises major Humanae Vitae dissenter in rebuke of ‘white or black’ morality “I think Bernard Häring was the first to start looking for a new way to help moral theology to flourish again,” Time to choose. ~

Not “the new Constantine” So, quite a week, eh? What a month, in fact! I know quite few people were worried about what Clinton had planned in the US/NATO relations with Russia. A lot of them are now breathing a sigh of relief that the US doesn’t have a president who was planning on starting World War Three with Russia as a means of covering up her illegal financial activities (or whatever it was… seriously, I wasn’t paying that close attention).

HAHAHAHAAAA… OH, I amuse me so much! ~

Well, the Cold War has just gone hot. Head of Greek Bishops Accuses Four Cardinals of Heresy, Apostasy and Schism … because they asked him to be clear and say plainly what he meant. LifeSite has been covering some of the reactions from the truly monstrous Blase Cupich. The attacks have not been slow or unambiguous, so that’s something. Evil doesn’t waste any time does it. It reminds me that the day after war was declared in 1939, the Germans launched immediate bombing raids on Malta, Britain’s naval bastion in the Mediterranean.

Things I thank God for: That there is such a thing as the logical principle of non-contradiction That “a thing and its opposite cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time.” That “A thing is that thing and not some other thing” That “each thing is the same with itself and different from another” That “things which equal the same thing also equal one another,”
