A Letter to the President That Explains His Drop in the Polls, A Film, and A Song

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

Earlier today I wrote a book-length post built around explaining how “confirmation bias,” or what I call “New Media Cocooning,” facilitates our checking our brains at the door and ignoring facts, which helps us cling to beliefs that cannot hold up under the harsh light of reason. Joanne McPortland does a better job of doing the same thing, using March Madness and basketball instead of the stock market. She wrote an open letter to the Commander-in-Chief, who just happens to...

You Don’t Trust the Bishops Like You Don’t Trust the Stock Market? Eureka!

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

And in both ways, you are being foolish, and unreasonable. Permit me to explain with the help of an article I saw this morning regarding the fact that most of us have missed the the stock market rally that turned three years old back on March 9th. I’ve got graphs and charts for your entertainment value as well. But wait a minute, you argue. What gives you the right to analyze our actions in light of something so repellant as... Read more

Because the Bishops Aren’t Consensus Leaders, But Consensus Molders UPDATED

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

The title to this post came to me this morning directly from the mind of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That his thoughts go a long way towards explaining what our bishops are about nowadays is telling, don’t you think? You see, I understand that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ administrative committee gets together for a two-day meeting tomorrow. (more…) Read more

So Matthew Archbold Thought He Didn’t Sign Up For This

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

He starts his latest post over on the National Catholic Register like a marathoner who has just hit “the wall.” I’m tired. Are you? We believers, Catholics, Protestant, Jewish and the rest, we are beleaguered. I don’t know about you, I am tired. (more…) Read more

For Your Lenten Friday Night at the Movies II UPDATED

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 8:34 pm By Frank Weathers

Today, movie fans, we have a first for the YIMCatholic Lenten movie series: a double feature. That’s because the two movies presented here tonight were really meant to be one movie, but it was just way too long. I don’t know if Richard Lester just went wild, or if he couldn’t stand the idea of leaving Alexandre Dumas’ adapted story-line on the cutting room floor. (more…) Read more

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:57 pm By Frank Weathers

Remember a few days back when I shared Bishop Lori’s letter to the editors at America Magazine? He had “gone Columbo” on them. Prior to that, Cardinal Dolan had given them a stern talking to as well. Perhaps that got their attention. (more…) Read more

“The HHS Mandate is Demeaning to Women.” And Women Are Speaking Out

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:58 pm By Frank Weathers

I said that the HHS Mandate robs women of their liberty in a lot of words earlier today. But like I said then, as a man, my opinion is discounted by HHS Mandate advocates. But today is International Women’s Day. Hooray! So below you will find a video where Gloria Purvis, among others, gives a great 7 minute talk that tells it like it is. Who is Gloria?
