The Rosary is Manly…

Last updated on: October 3, 2015 at 1:52 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… When I announced yesterday my plans to feature fine art with a rosary theme for the month of October, which is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, someone noted that they would like to see paintings of men praying the rosary, specifically non-clerical men, because he was tired of the stereotype that the devotion was for women and grannies.

Mary praised him for his valiant fight against... Read more

… Not The Onion. Not the Onion. Not The Onion. Not even Eye of the Tiber. Francis: Catholics who judge, criticize offer ‘counter-witness’ to Jesus ROME Pope Francis has strongly criticized Catholics who brag that they are perfect followers of the church’s teachings but then criticize or speak ill of others in their faith communities, saying they cause scandal and even offer a “counter-witness” to Jesus.
