First I must apologize for yesterday's post. In reviewing it today i realized there were numerous typo's. This is what happens when you are rushing to get the post done. Today's gospel is Matthew 25: 31 - 46. "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, …

Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
Warning: We are about to get into some pretty deep theological discussion, well at least deep for me. As I wrote in my last post, my sister passed away last week and as one who has to analyze everything on different levels (maybe over analyze would be a better way to put it) I began …
Kicking God to the Curb
One of my favorite Catholic talk show hosts talked about a recent Gallup poll yesterday that reported on recent trends in the acceptability of things that used to be considered immoral and now are accepted as moral. (see Gallup poll here) I did write a little about it in my other blog, the more political one, …
Either You Are Catholic or You Are Not
You are either Catholic or you aren't. No, this isn't an attempt to convert everyone out there to Catholicism, but rather it is directed to those who claim to be Catholic, yet don't follow the teachings of the church. They pick and choose which tenets of the faith to follow and decide the others aren't …
Confession is Good for the Soul
Today we celebrate Easter, the day Jesus was raised from the dead in order to free us from our sins. We can look at this like He wiped our slates clean in order for us to start over. How many of us have kept it clean? I would imagine not too many of us. No …

Choices and Grandchildren
This morning my fifth grandchild entered the world. Yes, it is an occasion of joy, but it is also an occasion of some sorrow and some depression. Anytime a new life enters the world, this is a joyful thing as God has created another being in which He can flourish. But therein lies the sadness …
What Would You Do
Yesterday the US Supreme Court made two decisions regarding same sex marriage. Well technically, one decision and one non-decision. Hearing this news started me thinking, which as you may know is always dangerous for me. I won't bore you with my opinions on the decisions, other than to say I think that this will lead …
They Just Don’t Get It
While working on something else today, I came across an article, written right after Pope Francis became Pope, and it is a perfect example of how people, especially Americans just don't get the Catholic faith. The article was written for Yahoo! Voices, and the author bemoans the fact that the new pope is the same …
