Yet Another Reason to NOT Like Canada Any More
Found this over at Jimmy Akin’s Blog… It’s a story about a company that takes unconsecrated communion hosts and sells them as SNACK FOOD. They are marketed as hosts/communion wafers and referred to as such in the accompanying article. The telling quote is this though… These paper-thin morsels made from flour and water hark back…

Mary Moments
Just read an article at Christianity Today in their Leadership Journal called Leader’s Insight: Mary Moments. It was a pretty good piece on how sometimes God will ask you to do something BIG and TOTALLY outside what you had planned, something that has huge implications for you, others and possibly the world. I was pretty…

Someone Took a Wrong Turn I Think…
OK… Added SiteMeter today so I could finally track the comings and goings and see who sends me visitors and who links me, etc. etc. So I look a minute ago and see that I had my first visitor. It was someone in Massachusets and they came here from Google. Cool. Then I look to…

Merry Christmas Everyone
Tomorrow is the big day of course and the children are waiting with baited breath. Which if you think about it is probably one of the reasons those precious gifts from God can be so darn annoying at this time of year. Who want to go around with worm/cricket breath or be around that? To…

We Got a New Priest
First time for me as a Catholic. Being only 3 years into it, I have had the same priest all that time. Should be interesting to say the least. Fr. Maurice was much loved by many adults and ALL the kids. Of course looking like Santa helps. He was much… liked less… by many other…

What is Your Faith Tradition?
EDIT: OK. Don’t know why this is pushing post so far down. But I am done editing/trying to fix it. Found one of those online quizzes that asks questions and pigeon-holes you about over at Envoy Encore. This one tells you what kind of faith tradition your views fit best. Here’s mine: You scored as…

Benedict XVI
So here we are, well into the new pontificate. Apparently B16 is not moving fast enough for some people to stamp out the dissenters in the Church. For others he’s a return to the stone age. Which probably means he’s doing OK. I think it’s a good sign generally, though not always, if you tick…

Where have all the Maniacs gone?
Ah yes… The Maniacs. Where have we all gone? Well, that’s a good question. I know Deacon is busy with family and… well, Diaconate classes as well as being a team member for a local group doing regular talks on the faith. Heathenboy is also busy with family and his true passion in life. Football.…

Sabellianism
Okay, since Fric and Deacon didn’t get to blog on this yet, I’ll start off. Now that the fellas have confirmed by name the “Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier” heresy, they get to protest this form of Modalism properly when its encountered. The fascinating part for me was researching the 3rd century pope who repudiated it however.…
