On an earlier post on healthcare, the following line was posted, “The Popes and Patriarchs ought stick to matters of faith and leave economic and healthcare decisions to experts in the field.” This is a classic line that is used whenever the Church’s teachings hit close to home.

Mother is healing
Well, I keep saying that I am going to blog soon, but I have been in Miami. My mother is in ICU but healing well. So, maybe tomorrow, and if not by Monday, I will get back to blogging. Thanks to those of you who have been praying.

Mamma Mia! And memories
So, I have now seen the Mamma Mia! movie for the third time. And, because I am the same age as Sophia’s parents and because I like the music of ABBA, it appeals to me. But, I found myself catching one line, when the three putative fathers and Sophie are out on the boat reminiscing […]
