It should be noted

That according to this article at least, not one time did Pope Francis link practicing what you preach to what political or economic philosophies you support or subscribe to. In fact, just the opposite. He seems to be saying our pathway to holiness depends largely on what we do, as opposed to, say, how we vote or what economic theory we prefer. Oh, you can prefer them, don’t get me wrong. If you think Democratic Socialism is all that and... Read more

Paul Zummo reflects on a Rubio nomination. I must confess that he makes some good points. I like Rubio, and I think he is a good man. Though the lure of playing politics is ever the temptation in Washington. Nonetheless, a good man and a decent candidate. But I just don’t think this is his time. Four or eight years from now, all things equal? Sure. But I’m not convinced that 2016 is the time. Just like 1976 wasn’t the time... Read more

The Daily Caller takes on Pope Francis

And actually makes a few decent points. We’ll gloss over the notion that when Jesus said ‘nations’ in the Great Commission, He had in mind the concept of nations as we understand the term today. Obviously not. But the greater point is this growing notion that our eternal destinies seem tied only to Matthew 25 and nothing else. Not only that, but increasingly its seems as though they are tied to the idea that Matthew 25 can only be interpreted a single way, primarily... Read more

If it wasn’t true. If you think about it, each one of these cases has happened at least once. Or at least there has been a ruling against each one of these. That shows just how far those who would value traditions have come in their losses to the progressive juggernaut. Read more

When bombing civilians and lying became no big deal

Last updated on: February 23, 2016 at 12:07 pm By Dave Griffey

As Democratic Socialism and the political policies of the Left assume the place of True Gospel, it shouldn’t be surprising that we’re seeing a shift in priorities over just what constitutes the difference between life and good and death and evil. So we have Richard Nixon, long reviled as one of our worst presidents. Especially by liberals and Democrats. Despised for his bombing campaign. Derided for his corruption and lies. But now, a pretty awesome president! Ah, the good old days. ... Read more

Dear Bishop McElroy

Last updated on: February 23, 2016 at 11:24 am By Dave Griffey

Please stop it. Please stop joining with this incessant pounding, hashing, trashing and smashing of America as this increasingly Islamaphobic nation. Try asking why there is an uptick in Islamaphobia. Why does Donald Trump have the support he has? Because there are Americans who are tired of being told that one extreme case of violence against Muslims defines our entire country, while tens of thousands of cases of violence by Muslims proves nothing about this religion of Peace. They’re sick of... Read more

I can sympathize. Not so much with the truck driver, who had no reason to try to beat the train. But with the engineer. As I said, my Dad was an engineer. First the Erie Railroad, then the Erie Lackawanna, and finally Conrail. He started in the days of steam locomotives. Unlike most, however, he was not nostalgic for the glory days of steam. They were noisy, hot, and dangerous. He was a fireman back when that meant shoveling tons of coal every... Read more

Doing dumb in the age of Social Media stupidity

Last updated on: February 23, 2016 at 8:36 am By Dave Griffey

The level of Internet era dumb has just hit another low point. Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Internet, we have this. Outrage! Shock! Scandal! Kasich apologizes for saying 2+2=4, that gravity exists, and that the earth orbits the sun. Why? Because John Kasich, at a campaign stop, said that he won his state senate seat in 1978 partly because ‘women left the kitchen’ to campaign for him. He went onto point out that nowadays, if...

When did this happen

Last updated on: February 23, 2016 at 6:00 am By Dave Griffey

When did it happen that how we live is irrelevant, and only if we support funneling our taxes through government programs can we really are about the poor? One of the great victories of liberalism has been to convince a growing number of people, Catholics included, that how you actually live your life is more or less irrelevant. In the new world of the Internet age, it appears that our enteral destinies and moral character are increasingly keyed to what economic... Read more
