While you were sleeping

The federal government of Mexico has sent additional troops to a border city to quell violence caused by the drug cartels. This news escapes the notice of most Americans, those who do attend to it see it only in the shallow perspective of “immigration reform” and the problem of “illegal aliens”.
Ciudad Juarez is Mexico’s 4th [...]

Back to Penance
February 26, 2009 | 1 Comment
Penance is important for increasing the dispositions of the soul towards God and driving away its affections from its desires.
Attachment to things, to creatures for themselves only increases the indolence of the soul, fosters acedia and pride of life, lust of the eyes and quickens the passions. Penance disciplines the soul to feed on the [...]

The Worst Crime in History and Crucifixion Denial
February 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment
This from the Archbishop of Boston:
“O’Malley on Monday called the Holocaust “the worst crime in human history” and pledged to move a Holocaust memorial to the Boston Archdiocese’s new headquarters”

Nescient generation
February 9, 2009 | 1 Comment
Pity cruel fate the sad fortunes of a generation, although it seems that they have lived forever: So much revolution, the world its oyster and now sitting in the highest seats cannot manage its own economy.

Traps of the Devil

Being a poor layman I can hardly speak authoritatively on such matters as Satanic snares, however given the propensity for the Catholic ordained to pronounce on matters outside their areas of competence – science and medicine and politics and law – I suppose in the greater scheme of things a lay person speaking on satanic [...]
