I was catching up on some blogs this morning and I came upon this article about the heat that the Archbishop of Canterbury received for preaching at Lourdes. The Rev. Jeremy Brooks, Director of Ministry for the England-based Protestant Truth Society called a reference to Mary as the mother of God “a complete denial of [...]

This morning, I cam across an article on abcnews.com. It seems a 6 year old was suspended from school for wearing a mohawk, in violation of the schools grooming policy. Some information worth noting, the child was at a “charter” school. While these schools are still part of the local public school system, they were [...]

Middle School: 6 & 7
Junior High School: 8 & 9

Floyd Landis was striped of his 2006 Tour de France title yesterday, though not without continued controversy. The arbitrators did warn the lab about sloppy practices and training of employees. The AP has a rather lengthy article that can be found at cnn.com
This is just another step in the ongoing doping problems in the great [...]

D-Day has come and gone and the world has failed to cease to exist. I am talking, of course, about 15 September 2007, the date the motu proprio Summoroum Pontificum became effective. While many of the faithful rejoiced, the document caused great anxiety among many. I would say that my home parish is rather moderate. [...]

I have spent a lot of time trying to decide how to address this topic. It is not what I had originally planed but I think it achieves my intention.
A great commotion has been made regarding new revelations that Bl. Teresa of Calcutta struggled spiritually. Though not expected, this is not terribly surprising to me. [...]
