Charlie Hebdo’s First Issue Since the Shooting Features the Prophet Mohammed

Last updated on: March 24, 2017 at 3:01 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Charlie Hebdo is publishing again. Their first cover of their first edition after last week’s shooting featured the Prophet Mohammed, holding a sign that says “All is Forgiven.” From The New York Times: PARIS — Around 9:10 on Monday evening, laughter and a round of applause broke out among the surviving staff members of Charlie Hebdo, followed shortly by cries — joyous if ironic — of “Allahu akbar!” The group was cheering Rénald Luzier, a cartoonist known as Luz, who...

Every Person has a Right to Life; Even If They Say Offensive Things.

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 10:05 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Photo Source: Flickr Commons, Francois Lacroix I wrote a post a few weeks ago entitled, The Murder of Innocents is Wrong and Every Human Being Knows It. That particular post was about murdering people with abortion and euthanasia. I’m resurrecting that claim today in defense of the essential right to life of people who say and publish things that offend others. Specifically, I’m writing it in defense of the basic right to life of journalists and pundits who attack... Read more

My mother is slipping away. Last week, she asked me, “Are we sisters, or cousins, or what?” The week before, she looked at me vaguely and said, “What are you to me? Are we related?” Last night, she decided to “cook” a frozen dinner in the microwave and evidently set it for a lllloooonnnnggggg time. It “cooked” until it caught fire. I was up with her all night long one night last week. We have a doctor’s appointment today, for... Read more

God Give Us Holy Priests

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 11:11 am By Rebecca Hamilton

16 Comments

I’m a member of a group that meets on a regular basis to pray for vocations to the priesthood. Aside from the fact that this is a small indication that I want our Church to have more holy priests (which is what we pray for) what does this mean? It means that I have this oddball idea that vocations of all sorts, including to the priesthood, come from God. I say that this notion is oddball because that’s the impression... Read more

The Difference Between Writing and Legislating Is …

Copyright: Rebecca Hamilton. All rights reserved. The difference between writing and legislating is, to put it in Okie parlance, writing don’t matter. I’ve heard the old canard “The pen is mightier than the sword” all my life. Sounds great, doesn’t it? After all, Marx and Hitler both wrote books that laid waste much of the 20th century and whose insidious damage not only lingers, but is still active, like occult cancer cells in the social bloodstream that just won’t die....

Cardinal Burke’s Woman Problem

Photo Source: Wikimedia Commons I’ve written about this before. There was a reason why I entered my anti-God period. It had a lot to do with violence against women and the indifference of the church — meaning the whole of Christianity — to that violence. I spent 17 years, wandering in the spiritual wilderness over this. When Jesus basically reached out and scooped me back into His arms, I was confounded. The unconditional, ecstatic love that He showered on... Read more
