The Feast of All Saints

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:38 pm   By Frank Weathers

Today is the Feast of All Saints! As such, todays edition of TfT (Tunes for Tuesday!) is dedicated to great music and prayers used to commemorate this day. I also found a short video tribute set to a contemporary song that you may enjoy as well. And to round it up, a modern classic. (more…) Read more

Eight Great Songs for Halloween

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:19 pm   By Frank Weathers

Hey, it’s not every year that Music for Mondays falls exactly on Halloween. Last year, see, Monday was All Saints Day, and I went totally religious on you. But as this only happens once every seven years, I have to make the most of it. So in honor of the High Holy Day of Halloween, I’ve put together a little collection of eight of my favorite songs to enjoy the Eve of the Feast of All Saints. I’ll run these... Read more

Between Heaven and Mirth, by James Martin, SJ (A Book Review)

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm   By Frank Weathers

Folks who have been visiting this space know that I have a soft spot in my heart for the writings of Fr. James Martin. You see, the very first post written here, by Webster Bull, he mentioned his book “My Life With The Saints.” I also read that book and enjoyed it immensely. Fr. Jim, see, has what I like to think of as a unique, folksy style, that appeals to many. Stephen Colbert has noticed, (more…) Read more

Because Dracula was Catholic? Oh My!

Last updated on: January 20, 2015 at 12:01 am   By Frank Weathers

Originally published on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, in December of last year, it seems fitting, what with Halloween coming up, to run it again. Yesterday, I did something that I can only explain by pointing to the fact that I am a Catholic. I said a prayer for the soul of Dracula. No, not for Bram Stoker’s fictional vampyre version of him, but for the real Dracula. That’s right, Vlad “the Impaler.” (more…) Read more

“Before Richard Dawkins Was…I Am.”

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:19 pm   By Frank Weathers

I think that is what Our Lord would say anyway, much to the consternation of “bright,”militant atheists everywhere. Of course, that is after He spit coffee out on His keyboard laughing. Go read Dawkins attempt to make sense of his brilliant idea over at The Blaze. Truly a more hilarious title (I added a few words) for an article has never been written, (more…) Read more
