That New Little Maniac…
Still on the way. Mom and baby are doing great so far. Got to feel the baby move for the first time last weekend. Could barely tell, but definitely there. Way cool stuff. Next week we find out if we are having a boy or girl. God knows I will love the baby no matter…

Back to Two Hands
Back to two hands… Six weeks ago today I had surgery on my right ring finger to set a fractured bone at the very tip and to reattach the tendon at that point. Had my hand in a cast for all that time since and got the cast and the final suture (down through the…

Saint John Paul the Great
OK. I know it’s not official for us down here. But, really… Do we doubt JPII is a Saint in Heaven? Do we doubt his status as “Great”? OK. Some may doubt the last. Only the truly obstinate can doubt the first. One year ago today the Holy Father passed from this life into the…

New Little Maniac Coming in October!
Greetings Fellow Maniacs! Been busy obviously of late. No posting and all. But I return with awesome news! Mrs. Fric and I have been blessed with the impending arrival of a new little Maniac! This is our third child and the older two are actually excited rather than mortified. Considering the age differences (9 and…

Sorry for the Lack of Posting Lately…
But been busy with the new job and the old side work. Also moving the CM stuff to a new server. So that should be interesting. We have been getting a lot of hits on our site from search engines on things like “lutherism” (I accidentally misspelled LutherAnism), Fr. Corapi and more. It will be…

Superstition
Looks like we have a Friday the 13th showing up next week in this month of Jan. So do we have any Catholic people out there who still allows themselves to be swayed any by this particular event? Perhaps there or other old wives tales that may still come forth from time to time. Chime…

Iraq
We haven’t covered Iraq much. There has been a lot to talk about. Many Catholic blogs, including those I link to, talk about them often. Mark Shea’s Catholic and Enjoying It! has had many ongoing discussions about whether the war in Iraq met the Church’s Just War criteria. A new common topic is about torture,…

Hope Everyone Had a Happy New Year!
Happy 2006 everyone! I know I am late with those well wishes… Ah well. Too busy yesterday with trying to get some work done on the old job so I can move on to the new job. Hopefully I can get that done ASAP and have some time off before I must start the new…

Looks Like I Owe No Apology
Missed the first half of the “investigation” because Mrs. Fric and I were watching Lost episodes. What can I say? What I did see was pure crap. The sane people (those that contend Pope Joan is a lie) pointed to things like no gap in the Papal record and Papal coins with correct dates and…

ABC to Air Pope Joan Investigation
Tonight on ABC Diane Sawyer will host a special on the infamous and non-existent “Pope Joan”. This so-called Pope was supposed to have lived in the early part of the ninth century during a time when the Church was still united. The story goes that Joan had long disguised herself as a man and entered…
