See, this link for why this site now looks like this. Hopefully, I’ll update it soon.

I couldn’t help but notice the viewer letter on Catholic Exchange from this observant 17-year-old. In it, he says:

I find it interesting that Ontario law says pro-life activists must remain 30 feet away from abortion clinics while these “pro-choice” advocates were allowed a front row seat at The Way of the Cross.

No doubt that these, as well as the Condom Distrubution Units, would hope to have some influence on young people. It’s sad that their viewpoint is so warped that they can’t see that there are young people who really do care about following the authentic teaching of the Magisterium. Pray for them. If they ever convert, it will be a beautiful sign of God’s grace.

If you are looking for a reliable Bible commentary, Scepter Publishers publishes the excellent Navarre Bible Commentary. They’ve got the whole New Testament and part of the old. This comes to mind today because they’ve just released the commentary on the books of Joshua through Kings. Four words: Buy it! I did.

If this article isn’t a sign of obsession with opinion polls, I just don’t know what is.

Anyone looking for evidence of media sensationalism? Here’s the perfect story to demonstrate it. I remember hearing on the radio a week and a half ago about the asteroid on a supposed “impact course” with the planet, destined to make a crashing arrival in the year 2019. Now it looks like the odds of this rank right up there with the odds of a salesman selling WorldCom stock.

Knowing how our judicial system can be, I’m not so sure that this satire won’t become reality. I hope no one at our favorite corporations is reading this. They just might be able to find a lawyer to do it.

Probably most people reading this have heard about the lawsuits filed against tobacco companies because of the health problems associated with their products. Now, we have some guy suing fast food chains because of his obesity!! Shame on the citizens of Lawyerville who would take on a case like this!!

Sins of the Flesh Really Do Catch Up to You
Check out this new CDC report that says that couples who cohabitate are more likely to break up than married couples. Well . . . . someone did try to tell me once that marriage doesn’t make a difference. So much for that. If the CDC were really bold, maybe they’ll take on the effects of contraception on a marriage.

I can’t get over what an abominition, this game is. Whatever happened to the quest to give the bad guys a swift kick in the derriere? It seems that the only purpose in this kind of game is to engage yourself in blantant immorality. I won’t be playing this on my Playstation 2.

The sad part about this kind of entertainment is that there is often no shortage of Christians who buy it. Few of us would tolerate people standing and making statements that were offensive to our friends and family members, but for some reason we have no problem entertaining ourselves with things that offend our God whom we should love more. Heck, we pay people to offend God.

Check out this blog from Emily Stimpson on renewing the Church. It’s a great alternative to the counterfeit Catholicism that’s being pushed by other groups these days.

I’ve mentioned the story about these women who essentially received a simulation of the sacrament of Holy Orders. I call it a simulation because it is impossible that a woman can be ordained. Here is the warning given to the women published on Peter’s Net. Has anyone heard any indication that these women have repented? I haven’t. If they are indeed excommunicated, we might be tempted to say something along the lines of “Score one for Ratzinger!!” I beg of you not to do this. We must pray for these women’s conversion back to the true faith. Really, we need to pray that all people everywhere will have the grace to accept God as he is, not as we wish him to be.
