Making Adultery Fun, Profitable, And Shame-Free

Last updated on: May 28, 2015 at 9:15 pm By Larry D

Hester Prynne really deserves an apology. She got a raw deal. Here’s the story from The Washington Post: How to break free from monogamy without destroying marriage Before online dating, before her two kids, before the Big Conversation with her skeptical husband, Jessie already had an inkling that maybe she wasn’t quite like the ladies she saw at church, that maybe the sexual strictures of life in D.C.’s monied suburbs weren’t for her. Her first marriage, in her early 20s, had... Read more

Acts 2:1-12 “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Good Catholics Use Condoms? This Is A Joke, Right?

Last updated on: May 20, 2015 at 10:53 am By Larry D

Catholics For Choice Apostates For Choice is the group that runs the Condoms4Life campaign, and it is not a Catholic group. They are an aggressive political advocacy group based in Washington, in complete opposition to Catholic teaching on contraception, abortion and so-called gay marriage. They have co-opted the Catholic name for their own gain. “Catholics” with badly formed consciences use condoms. Faithful Catholics don’t. It’s that simple. Any questions? Read more

Getting Men Back To Church: It’s About Discipleship, Not Dickscipleship

Last updated on: May 19, 2015 at 12:31 pm By Larry D

A lot has been written about the importance of getting men back into the Church. The data certainly seems dire, as reported at RomanCatholicMan.com (footnotes original from article): *About 11 million adult men in the U.S. were raised Catholic but left the faith[1] and men are under-represented in the Church versus their share of the total population (46% of parishioners are male versus 49% of the population).[2] *Men don’t believe that Catholicism is unique and essential for a happy life. *8 out...

The Amazing Life of Leslie Lemke

Last updated on: May 11, 2015 at 11:35 am By Larry D

I confess I had never heard of Leslie Lemke. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe his incredible life, nor of the heroism displayed by his adoptive mom, May. From Wisconsin Medical Society, written by Dr. Darrold Treffert: […] The story of Leslie Lemke begins in Milwaukee in 1952. His mother gave him up for adoption at birth. As a complication of his premature birth, Leslie developed retinal problems, then glaucoma, and his eyes had to be surgically removed in the first... Read more
