Copyright Thierry Ehrmann, Flickr Commons, used with permission. So, Pope Francis is going to write an encyclical on the environment, and the right wing heretics, the left wing heretics, the corporatists and the nihilists are sharpening their knives. It would be a hopeful sign, that so many of our culture warriors and mega money-men are seemingly besotted with the pope to the point of losing all common sense. It would be. Except … They are not besotted with the Pope... Read more

Copyright: Wonderlane used with permission. The wise men r us. By that I mean they are that vast reach of overlooked humanity that had no part in God’s Covenant with Abraham. The wise men are you and me, who will be, at long last and as St Paul put it, “grafted” onto the original tree of life that God planted when He raised up first a man and his wife, then their family, and finally, a people, to be the flame...

If You’re Catholic, Christmas Isn’t a Day. It’s a Season.

Last updated on: December 21, 2019 at 8:47 am By Rebecca Hamilton

It lasts right up until we celebrate the visit the Wise Men paid to the baby Jesus. That kind of season thinking is hard for Americans, tied as we are to jobs and paychecks. We feel lucky if we can get off work long enough to celebrate that one big day. But a “Season?” No can... Read more
