The Case for Christ Opens April 7th: I'm Going!

Jesus never asks for blind faith. The evidence is compelling!

I read The Case for Christ several years ago after I picked it up at our family lawyer's office. An out and proud Christian, he had a whole stack of the books he was giving away. I took one, read it, loved it, and bought a six-pack to give away myself. The author, Lee Strobel, isn't a Catholic. He was originally an atheist, an investigative reporter and began his search to disprove Christianity. In the course of his research, however, which he conducted like a court case, the evidence overcame his disbelief.

Killing Isaiah: Walking in the Footsteps of the Prophets

Isaiah 6:6 - The burning ember purges Isaiah's tongue so
he can become a prophet of the Lord.

Today's first Mass reading described the enemies who attacked the prophet Isaiah, but as I listened, I heard modern voices speaking out against anyone who, like the prophets of old, invites our modern culture to repent, submit to the will of God, and return to Him like the prodigal son. 

I've played a little loose with the text (in red) using the plural instead of the singular since Isaiah, to me, represents the prophetic role of all those challenging the immorality of our culture.

Join me in listening in:

Homosexual activist: Those pro-lifers and homophobes are "obnoxious to us."

David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress Does It Again...

...exposes the monsters at Planned Parenthood who not only murder babies in the womb, but will kill children born alive depending on "who's in the room."

And now I'm going to pray the rosary in atonement for this diabolical evil and for the conversion of these individuals who have made themselves inhuman beasts serving their master Satan.

Lesbian Ali Polizzi's Daddyphobia (originally published on March 22nd)

Note from Blog Owner: I posted every hysterical response to Susan's article which, by the way, I fully support. It's clear that the "jamming" has begun. Jamming is a tactic of the homosexual movement to intimidate anyone who disagrees with their agenda to normalize their deviant lifestyle by accusing them of hatred and homophobia. They stigmatize anyone who points out that their lifestyle is based on a lie. These darling little boys, who are indeed innocent victims, do NOT have two mommies. They have one mommy and a missing daddy who was either a volunteer or anonymous sperm donor. Since these women are very public about what they are doing, they can hardly expect to claim a right to privacy at this point. 

Ali and Amy, the two mommies

When Jamie wrote her article on why she was keeping her children out of the movie theater and away from Disney's Beauty and the Beast with its homosexual characters, there was an outcry from the heterophobes that heterosexuals were homophobic for not wanting to indoctrinate their innocent children to homoerotic love, that is, homosexuality. Remember that the definition of evil is the "corruption of innocence", which is the reason Jamie kept her young children from visually experiencing homosexuality that would begin their corruption. The movie would have visually introduced her children to evil, and Jamie, as their mother, made the good sense decision that that was not what she wanted for her children. 

Feminism Isn't About Choice, It's About Equality -- and Other Lies Liberals Tell

Some moms find home schooling the best choice of all!

"It's my body!"

"I should earn the same as men!"

"I can use whatever bathroom I want!" 

"The government can't tell me who to marry!"

Do these cries sound familiar? They're the anthem of modern day radical feminists. You know the ones who organized the women's march against Trump and national call-in-sick-to-work day. But, wouldn't you know, one Australian woman is turning the feminist agenda on its head. In an article for the Daily Telegraph, editor in chief, Sarrah Le Marquand asserts that no women with school age children should legally be allowed to stay home. That's right - NO CHOICE! She wants to force women to work. It's funny because in the next breath she's lauding the idea of giving women six months paid maternity leave (because that's equal- please tell me any situation in which men get 6 months paid leave).

Are You a Snowflake?

I was listening to talk TV this morning and the question of the "snowflakes" came up. So I decided to see how the "snowflake" identity is actually defined. Here's the definition from the urban dictionary:

snowflake millennial

Really soft millennials who take offense to everything you say even if it doesn't apply to them. They feel the world owes them something because they've always been handed everything, including participation trophies their whole lives.

Britain's Claire Fox wrote a scathing description about the snowflakes last year saying they exhibit an "almost belligerent sense of entitlement." But she doesn't stop there:

St. Thomas More: "I die the King's good servant AND God's first!"

Blood of St. John Paul II is contained in a phial embedded
in the crucifix at the relic shrine on the first floor.
 St. John Paul II, pray for us.

Did you think that quote was "The King's good servant, BUT God's first?" I did. That implies a criticism and break between God and state. More didn't believe that. He told his political enemies he hoped they would "meet merrily in heaven." I'm sure he offered his martyrdom for their conversion. He was a man of eminent charity.

I learned so much more about this great saint by visiting the exhibit at the St. John Paul II Shrine on Harewood Rd. in D.C. The exhibit continues until March 31st (this Friday) when it closes at 5:00 p.m. If you can make it before then GO, GO, GO! It's wonderful.

Are You a Spunky Christian? Then You Will See!

Lord, that I may see! 

Can you imagine if the Bible event of Jesus curing the man born blind (today's gospel) were a news report? Imagine the headline:

Man Born Blind Sees Again - Cured by Carpenter from Galilee!

And then the cured man is interviewed:

Who did it? 

Jesus, the Galilean. 

Were you really blind from birth?

If you can be transgender, why not transracial, trans-species, or even transplanetary?

So...which planet are you from?

Hey, folks, I've finally decided to reveal something about myself that I've kept in the closet for...well, since my "enlightenment" (which occurred as I watched the video below).

My heart tells me that I'm really a Venusian. I know this because...well...just because I do. I feeeeeel transplanetary, and since I'm not warlike I can't be from Mars and I'm not a lunatic (although some may disagree) so I can't be from the moon. And, after all, Venus is named for the goddess of love and I'm a very loving person. hence I must be a Venusian.

On the other hand, maybe I'm from Mercury since I'm frequently hot, although I'm not particularly fleet of foot and I don't think anyone would describe me as mercurial. I guess I could be from Jupiter since I'm often pretty jovial especially when I'm with my grandchildren.

Feast of the Annunciation: What Did the Angel Gabriel Tell Mary?

Today we celebrate the Annunciation when the angel Gabriel came, as a messenger from God, to ask her to become the Mother of Jesus Christ. Think of the humility of God who asks one of his creatures to become His Mother by bearing the Christ child, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. After you try to wrap your thoughts around that, consider what else the angel may have told Mary about her role in salvation.

God is no trickster. He doesn't try to fool us into doing His will. He wants our full assent knowing how difficult conforming our will to His may be. So how much did Gabriel reveal to Mary about the suffering she would share with her Son? Fulton Sheen believed that Mary knew the depth of pain and grief she was choosing. Here's how he describes it:

Mary’s participation in Christ’s suffering began with the annunciation, when she was asked to give God a human body, more properly, a human nature. In other words, will you make God capable of suffering? God though he was, he learned obedience in the school of suffering. God could know experimentally what suffering was only by taking a body. So the Blessed Mother is asked, ‘Will you make it possible for your creator to suffer?’ Think of a mother, for example, who gives to a young son or daughter an automobile at the age of nineteen, which a short time afterwards is the cause of a wreck and permanent injury. Would the mother ever forgive herself? And here Mary has to say yes, I will let him suffer.
