I thought I’d seen it all. Seriously, I would advise you not to watch if you are sensitive to this kind of thing. However, this man is more modestly dressed than many actual …

@SHJ-IHM No video of the "reparation Mass" will be seen. Cardinal Dolan himself has said it was "done on the Q.T." so as not to inflame the situation further. How's that for being pastoral: blaspheme publicly, repent in private. What a leader!
Here we are, friends. Another Ash Wednesday is upon us. Two of my favorite bloggers – Ann Barnhardt and Mark Docherty – have brilliant posts about a topic that is pivotal to a successful Lent …

Are there any good bishops in this country right now? It would take some real doing to prove it. If there are, it’s long past time that they put their cushy jobs on the line and speak up, but I’m not holding my breath.
That is the date, 42 years ago, when yours truly became a twinless twin. I am 46 now. 15,340 days. That is how much time has elapsed since a house fire claimed the life of the sister I entered …
Lest you think this blog is turning into a feeder for the Soldiers of the Immaculate Podcast… I know, you already saw Ann Barnhardt and Nurse Claire post about this …

Here we are again, friends. Barely a month post-Christmas and it’s already Septuagesima Sunday! Where did the time go? Start preparing now. God will give …
Those words form the beginning of the pledge of allegiance… to Texas! Yes, it’s a thing. This Jersey transplant has lived here for almost 13 years now and it’s one of the first …
Almost two years ago I was moved to pick up writing my blog again. It had lain dormant for a few months and I lost my direction motivation. The very evening …
She being St. Rita, or course. I do so love having her as a special patron saint. I am still mystified that God showed me at an early age the life of this marvelous woman and permitted …
As a homeschooling father, I have come to accept that my days will be taken up with the bizarre. Case in point: this evening, as I sat and watched one of my favorite movies – Frequency* with …
If Ann Barnhardt can occasionally drop a food post, why not me? Today, January 17th, marks seven years since my dad went to his judgment. I pray for his soul daily at Mass. He taught …

I will have to try this one, as the Manhattan has always been my drink of choice. Mostly, I see it as a way to make cheap whisky drinkable, as it is a completely different drink when made with higher quality liquor. Never thought to try with brandy, but I will!

An actual cocktail glass is proper for this drink. The one pictured seems to be some artistic rendering of a cocktail glass. I like the classic kind shaped like an upside down cone on a stem.

To Forgive is Divine
Yesterday I shared with you the events of my day – that I had been in a courtroom while a friend of mine spoke to his son’s killer and forgave him and offered him a rosary. It was …

I cannot agree with this video of a father making a 20-minute statement to his son's murderer. If the father wants to forgive his sons murderer, then well and good. He does not realize that many murderers enjoy seeing the relatives suffer and enjoy their grief. Stay away from murderers.
This morning, I sat in a packed courtroom in support of a dear friend. This friend was making a statement to the court as a matter of public record. Two …

@Harvey Millican I wonder how many of us would do that. I mean really. I wonder if I could do it. I've always found such examples deeply edifying, but the flesh is weak . . . I'd like to think I could forgive such a heinous crime if it were done to me, but I know from experience, I've had great difficulties forgiving people when their offences against me have been far less serious. God bless this man for his example.
Have you heard the one about the antipope who appointed his sodo-“friend” head of the doctrine office, made him a “cardinal”, and then scrubbed the internet of that same …
