There has been some hay made over the last week or so among liberal bloggers and talkers about Andrew Schlafly’s Conservative Bible Project. Lefties like me get called out by more conservative Christians for picking and choosing which parts of the Bible we like. Well, it looks like we now have conservative Christians playing the [...]
I was disturbed but unfortunately not surprised by the results of a poll of evangelicals that found that 62 percent believed that torture is justified. Given how important word-for-word knowledge of the Gospels is to evangelicals, I wondered, exactly what part of the Gospels were they reading?
(51% of my fellow Catholics agreed. We are only [...]
I know that a lot of y’all can’t stand Andrew Sullivan. There are many times that he infuriates me. Even when he does, though, it makes me think. But, check out this post that he did as part of an ongoing discussion about Ted Haggard and broader questions about religion and homosexuality. Money quote:
This is [...]
An image of La Virgen de Guadalupe in front of the home of local artist Carlos Valenzuela. Valenzuela made the image as a personal devotion, but he soon found that his neighbors “adopted” it, lighting candles and leaving him money to light the image and keep it up.
Back in 2004, Arizona had a delegate to the national convention named Father Bill Fitzgerald, better known to the parishioners at Our Lady of Professional Help as “Father Fitz.” Yep, he was a for-real Catholic priest, and one that supported his fellow RC Wesley Clark even.
This was around the time that a couple of conservative bishops proclaimed that they [...]
For those of you that are curious, today is the feast day of St. Stephen, as in “Good King Wenceslaus looked out on the Feast of Stephen…”
So, you are free to sing that song today if you wish.
By the way, Wenceslaus wasn’t a king but a duke. Don’t say that one too loud, however. Apparently, [...]
From the R-Cubed family to yours, Merry Christmas. To Rudy Giuliani, a belated happy Eid al-Ahda.
For me, tonight will include sharing the oplatek at St. Cyril’s, and eating tamales with the Villa clan. Being multi-ethnic is fun.
I am torn about this…Tony Blair has converted to Catholicism. As a Catholic, I am supposed to feel the spirit and welcome this new brother into the fold…but…give me time.
Today is the feast of St. Cajetan. Although born wealthy, Cajetan was a fierce advocate for the poor, going after his age’s equivalent of payday lenders. He was a popular saint among the early Jesuit missionaries in our region, and his name is on both a mission (San Cayetano de Calabazas) and the San Cayetano mountains that [...]
Eastern European Catholics celebrate today as the Feast of St. Stanislaus. Stanislaus was martyred for pointing out the faults of the then Prince of Poland, Bolesław II. Hard as it would be to believe, Bolesław got his country into a destructive and ill-concieved war, and people were disgusted by the treatment of soldier’s widows and [...]
