Scripture Quote of the Week…

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 1:26 pm By Frank Weathers

From St. Paul’s letter to the Romans (13:8,10), Avoid getting into debt, except the debt of mutual love. If you love your fellow men you have carried out your obligations. Love is the one thing that cannot hurt your neighbor; that is why it is the answer to every one of the commandments. Read more

Have You Ever Had a Catholic Dream?

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:56 pm By Frank Weathers

I had my first Catholic dream last night. It’s been a while since I remember having a dream after waking up at all, actually. But I’ve definitely never had a dream that I could label as “Catholic” before. At least not since I entered the Church at the Easter Vigil four years ago. That is, until the dream I dreamt last night. (more…) Read more

Well, would you believe Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has misgivings for one? Of course, he’s not running for re-election so his admission doesn’t do much good except as a possible gauge of his colleagues thoughts. Same thing for retiring Representative Brad Miller (D-N.C.) and Senator James Webb (D- Virginia), who announced last year that he will not seek re-election. Julian Pecquet and Sam Baker over at the political blog, The Hill, have the story, (more…) Read more

Death to Tribalism: Or Several Anti-NDAA Bills in Congress You Should Support Now

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:56 pm By Frank Weathers

I know, I know, it’s easy to forget that which has gone on before. The Magna Carta, signed by King John way back in 1215 AD? That is sooooo eight centuries ago. That’s what it seemed Congress and the Administration said last winter when they fell all over themselves approving the unconstitutional law which strips us of our our rights of habeas corpus, etc. Language like this in that document helped build a foundation for our own Constitution, (more…) Read more

Because On this Ship, I Don’t Have to Decide Everything UPDATED

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 11:36 pm By Frank Weathers

There has been a lot of fur flying around lately regarding prodigal groups (possibly) coming back into the fold, while others get a solid scolding, etc. Since the season of Advent, Catholics have endured changes to the Liturgy and a new version of the Missal, and we’ve had to relearn lines we had memorized since forever. And lately the HHS Mandate has been seen as a galvanizing moment by many, me among them, and only as a distraction by others.... Read more

The Logical Vegetarian (A Few Words for Wednesday)

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:56 pm By Frank Weathers

The Logical Vegetarian by G. K. Chesterton. This was published in Wine, Water, and Song just last week (er, 1915)… “Why shouldn’t I have a purely vegetarian drink? Why shouldn’t I take vegetables in their highest form, so to speak? The modest vegetarians ought obviously to stick to wine or beer, plain vegetarian drinks, instead of filling their goblets with the blood of bulls and elephants, as all conventional meat-eaters do, I suppose.” — DALROY.
