So What’s Wrong with Cardinal McElroy?

Last updated on: June 10, 2022 at 7:50 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

A few weeks ago, Pope Francis elevated Bishop McElroy of San Diego to Cardinal, and all billy ned broke out in right wing Catholic commentary. I’m so Okie-centric that I didn’t have a clue what the ruckus was about. Also, I wasn’t all that worried about it. My attention was more or less focused on my family and current events in the larger world. The Church has become an on-going pie-throwing fight. Catholics are always and forever attacking other Catholics... Read more

Matthew McConaughey Addresses Gun Violence, Watch His Speech

Last updated on: June 7, 2022 at 11:55 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Matthew McConaughey grew up in Uvalde Texas. He is a gun owner and supporter of the Second Amendment, just like me and a lot of other people. After the mass shooting at Robb Elementary, he went to Uvalde and spent what sounds like a lot of time with the families of the murdered children and teachers. He gave an impassioned speech today calling for what he named “responsible gun laws.” His speech gave voice to things that many of us are... Read more

All you have to fear is being shot anywhere you go.

Last updated on: June 7, 2022 at 7:41 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

All you have to fear is being shot anywhere you go. Internet meme. Today’s Republican Party is not the Republican Party of yesteryear. That Republican Party ended slavery, built the interstate highway system, organized the mass vaccination against polio, worked with Democrats to form a united front in the Cold War, backed the Equal Rights Amendment, funded the war on cancer and provided massive funding for family planning. The Republican Party once worked to build this country, cared about... Read more

What if it was You?

Last updated on: November 6, 2024 at 11:53 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I am an Okie. I grew up with guns. I have no problem with gun ownership. But the mass slaughters that keep repeating throughout our country have got to stop. The sense of personal immunity which fuels our national indifference to these appalling slaughters is based on an illusion. That illusion is the belief on the part of those who haven’t been touched by the violence yet, that they have have a special shield of invulnerability around them. You are... Read more

Whoever Fights Monsters Should Pray. Then Act. Then Pray Again.

Last updated on: July 28, 2022 at 8:44 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Friedrich Neitzsche I’ve seen a lot of memes that are dissing the frequent comments politicians often make proclaiming that the victims of violence are in their “thoughts and prayers.” The import of the memes is that “thoughts are prayers” are not enough. We need action. I agree.... Read more

I Believe What the Church Teaches.

Last updated on: November 6, 2024 at 9:35 am By Rebecca Hamilton

“I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,... Read more
