Reflecting on Saint Ignatius of Sardinia and the Al Smith Charity Dinner

Last updated on: October 20, 2016 at 11:44 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Here’s our reflection on the Al Smith Charity Dinner which took place last night. We write: “Jokes were made about the capitalist candidates but once laughter fills the room the expectation is that we embrace the wicked truth behind the joke – that there is no authentic choice and that democracy is purchased by the highest bidder – and begin to see it as justifiable and good; after all, you can’t upset the capitalists too much before seeing donations to...

Bourgeois Entertainment and Affirmation for Capitalists: The Al Smith Charity Dinner

Last updated on: October 21, 2016 at 5:37 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

For those who have sought to go beyond the lack of choices offered during most of the 2016 Presidential elections, the Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner gave little to no encouragement. Readers may have greater insight than the author when it comes to the history or tradition of the dinner, hosted by the Archbishop of New York Timothy Cardinal Dolan, and organized by the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation as a fund-raiser for numerous Catholic charities throughout the archdiocese. The costs for... Read more

A Trump victory threatens the pro-life cause

Last updated on: October 20, 2016 at 5:33 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

The Washington Post published a strong piece today by Charles Camosy, an associate professor at Fordham University, that warns of the dangers a Trump victory would present the pro-life movement. The “Culture Wars” have long reinforced a binary discourse when it comes to examining U.S. abortion policy since Roe v. Wade. Over the last several decades, however, a new embrace of sensitive, diverse, and prudent discussion has brought an atypical collection of people together – including women, youth, non-Christians, and minorities – in order to promote a...

Meditating on Saint Joseph with Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.

Last updated on: October 16, 2016 at 10:11 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

My dearest friends, I was browsing through a collection of poems written by one of the greatest writers in American history this evening and thought I’d share this one with you. I typed it out – hoping the autocorrect wouldn’t change the Spanish. I then provided a draft translation for you. I hope you can read Spanish and understand the archaic vocabulary so that you don’t have to rely on my translation. I didn’t spend more than a minute wondering... Read more

Three years pass since the death of “The Prison Angel”, Madre Antonia

Last updated on: October 17, 2016 at 9:18 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

She lived comfortably, raised beautiful children, and suffered divorce twice; she would then dedicate thirty-two years of her life living with and ministering to some of Tijuana’s most unwanted, perhaps hated peoples. She would also establish an order for mature ladies dedicated to serving God’s needy children with unqualified compassion: the Eudist Servants of the Eleventh Hour. Madre Antonia Brenner, known as “la Mama” to guards and the imprisoned alike, brought our Lord to one of America’s darkest ‘neighborhoods’ – she died three... Read more

My favorite e-mail from the Clinton campaign tells me how much I’ve contributed…

Last updated on: October 14, 2016 at 11:27 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

I’m proud of the personalized contributor status email that the Clinton campaign sent me last week. It’s my favorite e-mail from Hillary’s team so far. It truly demonstrates my commitment to the dignity of all people, I’d say: I couldn’t be happier to know that I have $0 invested in the Clinton campaign. I am not going to vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, and maybe you’ll consider doing the same. Until next time, Keith Michael Estrada Read more

Last updated on: October 15, 2016 at 2:02 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Imagine a respectable Priest posting the above photo on social media after more and more news comes out to testify against the worthiness of Hillary Clinton for the office of President of the United States of America. Now imagine this Priest would not post the same image of Clinton’s rival, Mr. Donald Trump. Why? Because Trump is just entirely unworthy and, even if Trump is no where near perfect, Clinton can at least prevent some bad things from happening and... Read more
