Aliens in Mexico?
If your expecting a big super story about this news item of the week, you will find it as disappointing as the results of the news story itself.

I do mention it as I mention that Father Flanagan of Boys Town may soon be a venereble.
And Super Mario Bros. celebrates an anniversary
and may we never forget what happened on September 11 in 2001.
Plus we learn about the death of a president and the first person
to die from an auto accident.
All that and more…

no offense but I’m puzzled by people who don’t like reading in bed. you’re literally lying down. you’re learning things in a recumbent state

Rogue0572@Rogue0572E (Sep 11, 2023)
When I became a catholic, I thought I was entering a Church obedient and respectful to St. Peter’s successor. Turns out many have a Protestant spirit.

Just interacted with an alleged Catholic who claims it’s the Pope’s goal to lead people to Hell. I just can’t with these people.

A Dan for All Seasons@ZJoyfulCatholic (Sep 15, 2023) Remember being in school and every time there were a substitute teacher, there would inevitably be that one kid who would say “present” instead of “here” when attendance was taken? Why was that so hilarious?

Multiclassing Cleric@lukei4655 (Sep 15, 2023) From the perspective of Moral Theology, sins contrary to the right use of the body are always less grave than sins contrary to the right use of the intellect and will. This is not a controversial claim.
