I know it is hard to believe, but the silly season has begun again. Yes, it's true, we are already seeing the dawn of the 2016 Presidential Campaign. We already have about 1,000 republican candidates who have announced their candidacies and three Democrats. And as always that brings up the question: How is a Catholic supposed …
Looking With Different Eyes
Some days it just seems like the world is spinning out of control. It gets crazier and crazier every day. What was once considered evil is now considered good. Killing people we don't want anymore has become second nature to us, we even make it legal. I came across this story this morning, Court Rules …
A Wayward Catholic meets a Southern Baptist
Today I had to write a sample for an editing project I bid on. As you probably know, if you read this blog, that is how I am trying to make a living. If I am awarded this project I think it is going to be rather interesting. It involves taking transcripts of sermons giving …

All Living Things are Created Equal
I can't make this stuff up. What's wrong with this picture? We have two separate polls. One shows that 1/3 of Americans feel that animals should have the same rights as humans.

This could be because I have more time to do this, or more likely because it is finally spring here in the Northeast, a time for rebirth and renewing.

Once again, a United States city erupts into flames for no other reason than hate. Have you ever wondered how we fallen this far? How did we let Satan become such a big part of so many people's lives? These people who are rioting, they don't care about Freddy Gray, they don't care about whether …

The Safest Road to Hell
