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

It’s called All That Remains, and it’s the amazing story of Takashi Nagai, and how he responded to the bombing of his beloved city, Nagasaki.

that while “the good” isn’t “the perfect” (in the midst of a fallen world), that doesn’t mean it’s the embodiment of all evil either.

Food, Water, and…Contraception? (more…) Read more

Quote of the Week: Christopher Nolan

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 1:42 pm By Frank Weathers

From The Dark Knight Rises website, Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching... Read more

Because Life Goes On, And Is Worth Living UPDATED

Acts of terror, senseless violence, wars, rumors of wars, budget crises, scary headlines, scandal, political vitriol, etc., etc., got you down? It’s good to remember that life goes on, and is worth living. It is good to remember that for “the world,” These were their thoughts, but they erred; for their wickedness blinded them, (more…) Read more

Quote of the Week

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 1:17 pm By Frank Weathers

Everything depends on the unforseeable ways of God and his secret graces, together with human liberty, comprised as it is in his eternal plan. What is certain is that the Church will emerge from this crises wonderfully purified; error will not have got the better of her. —Jacques Maritain, The Peasant of the Garrone, 1966 True then, and true now. For as the Psalmist reminds us, For the LORD will not forsake his people, nor abandon his inheritance. Judgment shall again... Read more

For the Courage to Obey the Call to Become a Catholic

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

There are a number of readers here who have decided intellectually that becoming a Catholic Christian is what they want to do with their lives. Others, who were Catholics at one time, find themselves yearning to return home. Yet both groups hesitate to join the Church. (more…) Read more

Mitt Romney says, “We Are All Catholics Now” UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

Why am I choosing the “lesser of two evils” come this Fall? Let me show you Exhibit A. The folks over at The Weekly Standard have the rest of the story from a town hall style campaign stop in Ohio a few days ago. They’ve just never heard of TubeChop over at TWS. Maybe Mitt Romney isn’t an “evil” to choose, but just a weevil. Still, I’ll be choosing him. It’s like this, see? I’m not going to “overthink” the... Read more

The YIMCatholic Photo Album UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

I just noticed the neatest thing over on my Google+ account. There is a photo album there where all of the photographs I have ever used while the blog was on Blogger are presented all together. It sort of reminds me of a Pinterest board. It’s also like going back in time just scrolling through the collection of photographs, paintings, and drawings (906 in all) from my very first solo post (see photograph above), to all the rest of them....
