  • Holy Trinity Sunday Today

    Today we celebrate the mystery of the Trinity… One God, three persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one Divine Nature. This is one that I like to roll around in my mind on occasion. It’s something that we will never understand until we stand before God Himself. The very fact that we celebrate this solemnity…

  • The Late, Great Renaldus Magnus…

    It’s finally happened. We Maniacs have all known it was coming. It was certainly inevitable. We have often recently marveled at his lasting this long. Ronald Reagan died today. How hard it is to grasp that. Even though he has been out of the public light for most of the past 10 years, his presence…

  • One of the greatest tools for teaching children

    I refer of course to the St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism. It is amazing how enjoyable it is even as an adult. In fact I gave Fric one last week since he did not grow up Catholic and had never been exposed to it. Much to my delight he tells me that his young daughter has…

  • CatholicManiac Shirts and Hats coming soon

    Just want to let everyone out there know that we have begun production of Shirts and Hats. We will have an embroidered Polo, Tee and Hats available using all the colors of our logo(and it came out cool looking on black). We are also doing a white tee with Black logo enlarged on the back…

  • And Many Thanks to Dave Armstrong as Well

    Dave Armstrong is a fellow Michigander and he was giving the Pistons well deserved props for making it to the NBA Finals with the Lakers and the great memories it evoked for those of us that recall the 1988 and 1989 Finals between these same teams. Anyway, I just had to comment on that being…

  • Thanks to Catholic RageMonkey!

    Gotta say I am psyched up about this one! Catholic RageMonkey has listed us under his Monkey Like Blogs section which is their list of well-liked blogs. We are listed with several of our own favorites. Gotta love it!

  • Cardinal George in Chicago Shows Some Spine After All

    Cardinal George, whom I have not been necessarily lenient on, has shown that he is willing to stand up to those who want to use the Eucharist as a political statement. See the story here. Seems there is a gay group that wears a rainbow sash on Pentecost each year to Church. It is undeniably…

  • Iraq and al-Qaida Collaborated on 9/11 Attacks

    I have been hearing about the book Connections that details the relationship between the Osama’s group and Iraq. And of course, I had been hearing about all the little details for the last 2 years or so as well. This book collects them and lays out the story. I will buying it as soon as…

  • Update on Law

    Seems he was in a convent. Archbishop Sean P. O’Malley issued a statement saying Law would have been happy to live a quiet life, but “the Holy Father has assigned him to a Church in Rome, the original task of Cardinals. We pray that God will bless Cardinal Law in the ministry he takes up.”…

  • Seperate the Chaf from the Wheat

    Maybe it is time for all of this to come to a conclusion and emerge stronger then ever. I think God that there is still Church leaders that can see the true measure of the faith. Archbishop Chaput said, “One of the ironies of an already strange election year is the number of non-Catholics, ex-Catholics…
