Below is a video that plays a classical Mexican song. It was only written in the early 1950’s, but it is now as much a “requirement” for a Mexican artist to sing as is the song “Desperado” for a country and western artist. Anyway, here is a post that is somewhat lighter than my normal […]
Third World justice
We regularly are upset at the miscarriages of justice that occur on a regular basis in those parts of the world whose human rights principles are not as strong as they should be. Here is one case: A woman was attacked and raped in the early 1980’s. A suspect was quickly found and convicted, despite […]

Travel Day
Today is a car travel day as I return home. May the Lord bless all of you and prepare you for the Lord’s Day. For today, I will simply include a copy of Metropolitan Jonah’s message for Sanctity of Life Sunday. It is one of the most balanced pro-life messages that I have seen. === […]
IntenseDebate plugin uninstalled
Well, after a trial of a couple of weeks, I have uninstalled the IntenseDebate plugin. It had some nice added functionality for the comment page, but was buggy. It slowed the blog down, a fact admitted on the FAQ section of the IntenseDebate website. Also, despite choosing to only need to approve a person once, […]
And, so, I am travelling again
I would ask for your prayers today. I, again, thought that I would be returning to finish a discussion that I had started days ago. However, yesterday, I was notified that my first cousin had had a stroke and is in intensive care. [I also need to visit my priest friend again.] Now, I should […]
Help on blog
I could use a little feedback on one of the features of this blog. It seems that since I have added IntenseDebate to the blog that it is taking longer to load. A friend of mine has added it to his blog, and his blog seems to load just as fast. So, some feedback please. […]
The Nativity Sermon of St. John Chrysostom
I behold a new and wondrous mystery! My ears resound to the shepherd’s song, piping no soft melody, but loudly chanting a heavenly hymn! The angels sing!  The archangels blend their voices in harmony! The cherubim resound their joyful praise!    The seraphim exult His glory! All join to praise this holy feast, beholding the Godhead […]
Just added a new comments feature
In an effort to improve the conversation, I have just added a new comments feature called IntenseDebate. I saw it on Sarx’s blog. You can either post the old way, or you can sign in using your OpenId. You can also now reply to individual comments rather than having to reply to the post as […]
Inconsistency in arguing against Roman Catholics
Well, another quick one from the road. On a recent post, the following interesting statement was made, “Their thoughts, excuses, rationales, theological bull******** [Ed. note – yes I censored the word, not the original author] – I can’t share the grace of a saint’s life, why should I bear the guilt of some dead sinners?” […]
