Shocking! Pope Francis and I Agree on Politics

“The Quest for the True Cross.” What a Movie That Would Make!

Last updated on: January 23, 2015 at 11:13 am By Frank Weathers

As you may know, today is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. I found a pretty good short piece on the finding of the Holy Cross over at Magnificat. But as usual, I went looking for more. Whoa…Mr. Spielberg? I’ve found material for your next project. This would make an epic screen play! Take a look. from The Finding of the Cross by Louis de Combes, excerpted from Chapter IV, “The Recovery of the True Cross” (more…) Read more

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:14 pm By Frank Weathers

There was a time when a news story like this would invigorate me. Via the Catholic News Service, Cardinal Dolan is quoted as saying the Catholic Health Association’s decision earlier this year to agree to the final rule of the HHS Contraceptive Mandate, is “less than helpful.” Take a look.

Vladimir Putin, From Russia With Love?

Valdimir Putin in the New York Times, writing with poise about the de-evolution of US foreign policy, the purpose of the United Nations, and the pathway to peace in Syria. I think he studied the speech delivered to the UN by Pope Paul VI, back in the Fall of 1965. Take a look. (more…) Read more

Just put together an American 501(c)(3), nonprofit corporation, call it the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and get busy swaying the opinions of seat holders in the House and Senate, writing op-ed pieces in the big papers, etc. One of my senators, Bob Corker (R-TN) was totally hoodwinked by them. But they made a mistake in hiring a person who lied about having a doctorate. Oops. (more…) Read more

Check Out Pope Francis’s New Car…

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:14 pm By Frank Weathers

It’s no surprise that Joe Six-Pack is a car guy. I’ve held forth on the fact that I enjoy planes, trains, and automobiles before. Truth be told, I’m a bit of a gearhead. So when I saw the story from the Catholic News Service that a priest up and gave his old car to Pope Francis, I was pretty jazzed. It’s a 1984 vintage Renault 4, with 186,000 miles on the clock. Or maybe it’s kilometers. At least it’s the... Read more
