RIP Professor Ralph McInerny (1929-2010) - Canterbury Tales by Taylor Marshall
I have always liked Fr Dowling mysteries (whether the books or the program).
May he rest in peace.
God bless!

Sometimes, I cannot believe how close we are in this day, to being like those building the Tower of Babel, and when God Himself will say "ENOUGH, ALREADY!"
Wesley concludes:
Genetic tinkering of the sort described by Cavanaugh wouldn’t be evolution–at least in the sense of an undirected process of species change and improvement via natural selection trial and error. Rather, we might label the idea wicked intelligent design, or more accurately, unintelligent design, since we aren’t smart enough–and more importantly, wise enough–to even begin to play the game of “Let’s Make a New Species.” And even if we were, it would be wrong to experiment with the lives, health, psyches, genomes, and well being of other people.

James O’Keefe Reveals a MSM Drowning in its Own Leftist Ideology - Big Journalism
Kyle-Anne Shiver has written an excellent article on true investigative journalism, and as another 'boomer', I have observed the same things. I was never really liberal, nor 'left', but I remember the days she was talking about.
God bless!

Pawlenty urged those who attended the lunchtime rally to be committed, but also respectful. "As we are advocates, and we need to be strong advocates and unflinching advocates, we need to do that in a loving way," he said.
"When we change hearts and minds, the laws and the legislatures and the courts will follow," Pawlenty said. "We will do that by being respectful, kind and loving to others that we want to join the cause."
Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a rising star among conservatives, garnered the loudest applause at the rally.
"Good morning! It's a beautiful prolife day in the state of Minnesota," Bachmann said.
She warned that President Obama is trying to make good on his "pro-abortion campaign rhetoric."
"The out-of-touch, arrogant people who now control this nation are not listening to the prolife majority in the United States," she said. "They are hellbent on promoting abortion as a viable means of birth control. Does this make sense?"
No, the crowd cheered.
"It's one battle at a time, and we are winning," she said.

Who's views will be allowed to air?? 'A group like Focus on the family ... being allowed to buy' ..... ALLOWED to buy? YES, they are allowed to buy airtime, Erin Matson! YES, the pro-life voice has a right to be heard!! Erin doesn't think anyone wants to be forced to discuss abortion with their 6 yr old in their living room on Super Bowl Day...?? HOWEVER, she has no problem with taking a child to an abortion clinic without parental consent, I'd wager... and not reporting the criminal who had impregnated that child to the Local law enforcement agency.
We have the right to speak, and to air our views any place in the USA, Erin, just as you do.
Anyone! Charmaine Yoest did an excellent job...
I cannot believe that ANYONE would be upset about seeing this ad. It is the story of Mrs Tebow being strongly encouraged to abort her baby, and her decision not to do so... years later, he is a healthy football player who is good enough to have attracted national attention...
God bless!

Dan Kennedy of Human Life of Washington has also condemned the bills.
"As the culture shifts to pro-life, Planned Parenthood and NARAL will not tolerate the loss of business," he said. "The terms 'medically and scientifically accurate' are a way around the truth, since these definitions have been corrupted by the government and medical associations."
Read the article here:

.- The Gospels, four icons, crosses and a relic of the True Cross have been taken aboard the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), a Russian cosmonaut has reported. A photo taken by the station crew shows an icon and a crucifix floating in zero gravity in the ISS.
Writing on his blog at the website of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), Cosmonaut Maksim Suraev responded to readers’ questions about religious symbols on the space station.
“We have four holy icons on the Russia segment. We also have the Gospels and a big cross,” he said, according to a blog entry translated by Russia Today in November 2009.
Russia Today reported that the Lord’s Divine Cross was given to A.N. Merminov, the head of Roscosmos, by the late Patriarch of Moscow Aleksy II. The cross was delivered to the station in 2006 by the crew of Soyuz TMA-8.
Suraev added that he has a reliquary cross in his cabin.
“A priest gave it to me at Baikanur before the launch. Father Job told me a piece of the original cross on which Jesus was crucified is contained in mine.”
He added that his cross was blessed in the major monastery of Sergiev Posad.
“It will be with me the whole expedition and will return with me to Earth,” the cosmonaut wrote.
Holy relics and other objects have been on previous spaceflights. U.S. astronaut Ronald Garan brought a relic of St. Therese of Lisieux with him on the space shuttle Discovery in 2008. He plans to bring another relic of the saint with him on a mission to the ISS in 2011.
