Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… I got some constructive and very interesting feedback on my Hate Mail post. My favorite was this tweet. @PatheosCatholic @the_crescat One thing I do is look at my own actions/words to see if I said something or in such a way to prompt the hate. — Franciscan Poet (@FranciscanPoet) July 6, 2014 I recommended when we encounter anger and hatred online we should pray – pray for the person lashing out and pray for the anger in our own...

Pro-Abortion Politician Writes Self Appeasing Rubbish About Her Excommunication…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Someone once asked me if I struggled with any of the Church’s teachings? My reply was plain. If I did you wouldn’t know about it. But what if your struggle could help others who were working through the same issues? Not even then. Maybe if I had reached a satisfactory understanding and wanted to share with someone the misconceptions I was under and how it was resolved. Maybe. But really. If I am struggling with anything contrary to what... Read more

Encountering Hate Online…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Hate mail is a funny thing. Whenever I receive it, like this morning, I always wonder two things. One – Does the sender actually think hate filled words from a total stranger are supposed to mean something to me? And two – what emotional sickness fuels a person to take the time to write another human being they’ve never met and wish them harm? What inner darkness stirs such an action? Most hate mail I simply dismiss. You’re free... Read more

… What’s driving bloggers into silence? From Fr. Ray Blake, The reign of Benedict produced a real flourish of ‘citizen journalists’, the net was alive with discussion on what the Pope was saying or doing and how it affected the life of our own local Church. Looking at some of my old posts they invariably began with quote or picture followed by a comment, Benedict stimulated thought, reflection and dialogue, an open and free intellectual environment. There was a solidity... Read more

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Today, as we light up our grills and load up the beer coolers or head to the beach and make ourselves picnic ready, let’s us reflect a moment on these words from the Declaration of Independence. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. And we typically stop reading there. Because the... Read more

It looks like something that should be hot glued onto a felt banner. And has a generic protestant-y look to it.

Using Gay People as a Commodity…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Stephanie Richer, the Digital Hairshirt, asks a very interesting question. Seriously, does anyone think marketing fast food based on sexual orientation is appropriate? If you are gay, do you feel that lately you have become less of a person and more of a brand, or commodity? Just stick a rainbow on it and call it Pride and sell it to gays, who judging from their reactions in this video, actually believe that Burger King – a corporation – cares... Read more
