Big Catholic Families: What a Gift to the Church and the World!

How one family is sending 13 kids to college, living debt free — and still plans to retire early

The Fatzingers could be the poster family for Dave Ramsey, the finance radio guru who always encourages his listeners to live debt free. And, in fact, maybe he could learn a tip or two from their approach to living well with less. 

I've always thought of myself as thrifty, but my strategies can't hold a candle to this family. What a revolution if more people would follow their example by both welcoming children as a blessing from the Lord and giving them the lesson of hard work, saving, and money management as well as having fun while living the faith.  

Brexit Wins: Britain's Declaration of Independence!

"Take away wickedness from the face of the king, 

and his throne shall be established with justice." Prov 25:5

The new world order globalists are wringing their hands today over Britain leaving the European Union. Maybe nothing will really change, but the vote means government is back in the hands of the people. Let's hope they deserve it.

The vote accords with Catholic teaching on subsidiarity. Should decisions about what happens in Britain be decided by a global elite in Brussels or by the people most impacted by decisions?

Are You Praying? It's Patriotic!

I got this email from a friend and thought it was important to spread it around. So I hope you'll do the same and join in the bishops' prayer project. Remember Lepanto!
Bishops Seek Our Help as Laity
The Catholic Church in the United States currently is facing three major cultural issues — disrespect for life from conception to natural death; succeeding attempts to change the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman; and continuing efforts to restrict religious freedom.

The bishops in America are addressing these issues through the courts,legislation and other societal means. They also are calling on the laity to join with them in a program of prayer, penance and sacrifice.

A USCCB committee headed by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone recommended a program to run concurrently with the Year of Faith, from the Feast of the Holy Family (December 30, 2012) through the Feast of Christ the King (November 24, 2013). It was approved at the last meeting of the USCCB.

Specifically, the bishops are asking all Catholics to:

1. Daily: Say the rosary for a renewal of our nation’s culture
2. Weekly: Fast and abstain from meat every Friday
3. Monthly: Attend a Eucharistic Holy Hour
4. Annually: Participate in a Fortnight of Freedom in July-August
