Semper Fi Catholic

thanks for doing this all year, Joe.. it's a real inspiration.. all the best to you in the New Year.

That's great..

Great visionaries are seldom understood in their time.. the world or the faith has to re-orient itself around the new co-ordinates that they have set, before that happens.

There's a lot of great and clarifying stuff in the Vatican 2 documents... i'm not sure how things got so distorted in some minds into The Spirit of Vatican 2 .. as asserting a moral relativism or undercutting the absolute and evangelical Truth of the Church's ministry in the world. Maybe a Vatican 3...

It reads like the script of sensationalist 'B' movie.. of course i'll add a prayer to those of the Miami Archdiocese.

.. in honour of Fr. Paul..

Robert Harris executed in Texas as well.. another condemned of questionable mental competence.

Donald Palmer.. last words "I want you to know I've carried you in my heart for years and years," Palmer told six women in the room who are the widows, daughters and a niece of the men he killed. "I'm so sorry for what I took from you ... I hope your pain and hurt die with me today." Palmer also to...

One of St. Faustina's most poetic verses.. lovely.

“I am 70 years old and I want to do what I can with the time I have left to help end the death penalty.”

Good for you, Joe. Live the faith.

.. some good news.. and answer to prayers.. hope it can be sustained.

as close as you can get to 'golden rule' (do unto others..) .. in fact takes it a step further.. sage advice.

And Ohio Gov. John Kasich commuted the sentence of John Eley to Life in Prison... despite a recommendation against it by the Board of Parole.. good for him.

replace 'could' with 'should' above.. and clemency on the basis of mental incapacity has almost never been granted.
