Washington, DC, February 2, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A national group that promotes abortion and homosexual rights has deep ties with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, according to a report released Monday.

I’m still digesting this story. I hope there are some better explanations for these sad allegations. Unfortunately, I fear there are still some pockets and dark corners of the USCCB that continue to put an empty kind of “social justice” and political agenda ahead of Catholic moral teaching.

We just need to keep urging the USCCB with love to correct these totally unacceptable transgressions. I definitely feel betrayed by our USCCB on this. And that’s a very sad story.

Here is some of the buzz around the net (including a video): [Keep Reading]

Post image for L’Angelus and the CFRs at the March for Life 2010

I wasn’t able to attend the March for Life in DC this year. I was able to attend the March here in Dallas though – which was great. We posted some pictures and videos we put together from it here.

Two of my favorite groups of people, however, did get to attend the March for Life in DC last week: My favorite Catholic trio, L’Angelus, and my favorite religious order, the CFRs. And they did so together. This just made me even more disappointed I wasn’t able to be there!

One of the most powerful things that come from any march or movement is not only the national attention it brings to the issue. And it’s not only the giant leaps it takes in bringing the issue into the public square. [Keep Reading]

These marches are absolutely vital to bringing about real change, a real Culture of Life, and in helping us to fully face the reality of this great injustice.  Please get involved in one near [...]

Thumbnail image for The 10 Most Fascinating Catholics of 2009

Lisa Hendey had a really neat idea this year with a Catholic spin-off of Barabara Walter’s 10 Most fascinating people of the year.  Her top 10 list has some really amazing (and fascinating) Catholics on it.
I was very surprised and humbled to find that I made the list as well!  It is a huge honor!  [...]

All is still calm

Here is my post from last year on Christmas. Just about everything in it applies the same to today. Not much has changed in a year. In a lot of ways, not much has changed in 2000 years either.
It has some good quotes to reflect on during the Christmas season.  And don’t [...]

Annoyed when people say “Xmas” instead of Christmas? Should you be?

Thumbnail image for Annoyed when people say “Xmas” instead of Christmas? Should you be?

Have you ever heard about the plot to “X” Christ out of Christmas?  And so the secular celebraters of this holy-day (holiday) decided they were going to start using “Xmas” instead of Christmas?
Well, it’s not true.
We do have lots of people who celebrate Christmas without the “Christ” part.  We also have lots of people who [...]

Quote: How is your desire for ‘virtual connectedness’ these days?

Thumbnail image for Quote: How is your desire for ‘virtual connectedness’ these days?

“If the desire for virtual connectedness becomes obsessive, it may in fact function to isolate individuals from real social interaction while also disrupting the patterns of rest, silence and reflection that are necessary for healthy human development.” – Pope Benedict XVI (Message for 43rd World Communications Day)
Profoundly insightful on two fronts:

What’s with the pink candle during Advent?

Thumbnail image for What’s with the pink candle during Advent?

The usual liturgical color for Advent is purple (similar to Lent) to remind us that this is a penitential season.  It is particularly an appropriate time for special prayers and fasting to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ into the world at Christmas.
And it’s not solely a remembrance or anniversary of when Christ was [...]

Sunday: The Lord’s Day or Your Day?

Thumbnail image for Sunday:  The Lord’s Day or Your Day?

We’re a very busy family.  Too busy.  My weekdays are packed with work, chores, phone calls, emails, projects, diaper changes, feedings, cleaning, play time, programming, flockNote help desk, walking the dog, chasing the cat, paying the bills, and making lists of the things I’ve yet to do but will never get to.  Weeknights are more [...]

The 13th Day is the latest and most well done account of the miracle at Fatima and its surrounding story. It was just released this week.  I mentioned this movie and posted its trailer a few weeks ago here.  But since then I was blessed enough to receive a pre-release copy of the DVD [...]

Rethinking Darwin’s Legacy

Thumbnail image for Rethinking Darwin’s Legacy

The world recently (Nov 24, 2009) marked the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, by Charles Darwin. But some are rethinking exactly what Darwin’s legacy should be:
Bicentennial celebrations have portrayed Darwin as a kindly old gentleman pottering around an English house and garden. What that misses is the way [...]

FAIL: Rep. Kennedy publicly takes on bishop over communion

Thumbnail image for FAIL: Rep. Kennedy publicly takes on bishop over communion

My comments in blue:
U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) said in an interview Sunday that Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin has instructed him to refrain from Communion because of his pro-abortion political position [So the bishop is doing his job and has privately reminded Kennedy that he shouldn't present himself for communion while being publicly complicit [...]
