People often become obsessed with royalty because they need someone to look up to, to be part of something larger than themselves. But they are always disappointed.

We fought a war, once, to get rid of a king. Two hundred and twenty-two years ago Americans took up arms to win our independence from King George III of England. Some of the biggest issues were trade and taxes, sound familiar? “Fast Track” and IRS reform, 18th-century style. I suppose it’s always ...read more

A new bride went to the grocery store to do her weekly shopping. She was a novice at this, but was delighted to be a new wife.

How Can Anyone Call Good Evil And Evil Good?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 20, 2022

Perhaps we can better understand how it might be that a Catholic politician would be so saturated with a dominant secular opinion, supported by millions of dollars of donations, that even the gravest anti-human evil could be good.

Thirty-First Sunday in Course 2022 Good morning, fellow sinners. If we forget that sobering fact, the Liturgy reminds us every time we come to Mass of our moral insufficiencies.

To What End? Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Both the arrogant rich and the suffering poor get the same message: “today is not all there is.”

The first part, v. 1-6, is a discussion of the danger of depending on wealth. The second part, v. 7-11, typically focus on patience. Well, I’m going to buck the trend. Because ...read more

It Begins With Mourning Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
