Uh-huh. Behold, the Smartphone Apocalypse! Search your feelings. You know this to be true. Read more

Think “Charity” and Act “Love” = Praying Without Ceasing

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm By Frank Weathers

A Meditation on the High Priestly Prayer Before I became a Catholic, the word contemplation meant something altogether different than it does to me today. Chalk that up to intellectual laziness because the definition has been sitting right there in the dictionary for all of those years before I woke up. Let me show you. Here is how my handy-dandy Merriam Webster Dictionary defines the word, (more…) Read more

Thoughts About The Minor Miracle That Occurred At Harvard University Yesterday

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 9:36 pm By Frank Weathers

Consider this post a wee after action report by your favorite strategic corporal, Joe Six-Pack, USMC. You may be thinking, “Where do you get off declaring what happened at Harvard as being a miracle, Frank?” I’ll tell you where. Because nobody saw the result that was coming. The conventional wisdom? It was as wrong as it usually is. All of the wise and learned among us knew without a doubt that the planned black mass would take place unmolested, and unimpeded,... Read more

Since When Did Satan Become Such A Square?

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm By Frank Weathers

That’s the thought that occurred to me when I was reading the Satanic Temple’s mission statement. You know, the folks behind the statue of a figure (that might be Baphomet) they want to install at the state capitol in Oklahoma, and the same group that wants to hold a Black Mass in a pub under the auspices of the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club. The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people. *Cough,... Read more

Cardinal Kasper’s Thoughts On Our Divorced And Civilly Remarried Brethren

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm By Frank Weathers

Some folks are likely to play the “Good Cleric/Bad Cleric” game with Cardinal Kasper’s comments about our divorced and civilly remarried brethren, but I won’t be. I’m just an regular guy, see, with no claims to knowing all the ins and outs of the theology of marriage. I do know that Pope Francis has mentioned Cardinal Kasper’s book , Mercy: The Essence of the Gospel and the Key to Christian Life, favorably, going as far as to say, “This book... Read more

Wow! Just in time for the the big celebration, this communique just made its way into my “in” basket. I tried to call your offices in Denver, and wish your website a happy birthday, but your number is unlisted. Instead, since I do keep up on the writings of some of my favorite Catholic bloggers on Patheos, I asked Frank Weathers to share this note with you, and the photograph of me enjoying the celebration with a little tres leche...
