I am guest on the latest episode of Catholic TV’s “Going My Way” with Fr. Chris Hickey and Fr. Paul Rouse. Check it out here.
Gay marriage is inevitable?
The following was taken from an article on MSN:
My comments are in red.
Vice President Joe Biden predicted Friday the evolution in thinking that will permit gays to soon serve openly in the military eventually will bring about a national consensus for same-sex marriage. [If they go by “national consensus”, it won’t happen. But these guys go by dictatorship! They are the “ones” who know it all and dictate their liberal agenda on the rest of society.]
Changes in attitudes by military leaders, those in the service and the public allowed the repeal by Congress of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, Biden noted in a nationally broadcast interview on Christmas eve. [Maybe the leaders were for a repeal, but most of the troops on the line were against it!]
“I think the country’s evolving,” he said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” [What planet does Biden live on! He needs to start associating with real people for a change.] “And I think you’re going to see, you know, the next effort is probably going to be to deal with so-called DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).” Biden said he agreed with Obama that his position in gay marriage is “evolving.” [Yes, another Kennedy Catholic whose Faith is more important than his politics! How about forming your conscience according to Catholic teaching, and not according to the world Mr. Biden!]
The Vice President is probably correct in saying that it is inevitable, but if he and other Catholic politicians stood up for the truth and did not drink of the cup of relativism, we would not be in this boat.

Mary had a little Lamb
Christmas is such a sentimental time for most people. Our homes and are churches are decorated and everything is just perfect. However, what most people forget is that the Blessed Virgin Mary gave birth to the Lamb of God. The wood of the crib points to the wood of the cross. We were born to live and Christ was born to die. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (Jn3.16) As we celebrate Christmas, with all of our gifts and all of our comforts, let us not forget that the sweet little Christ child, lying in the manger is the Lamb of God, destined for Calvary.
Merry Christmas

Who’s looking over your shoulder?
On Wednesday, following Mass, I headed home for my day off. I decided to take my statue of Our Lady of Fatima home, to place in the room where I say Mass on my day off. I strapped here in the back seat and as I was ready to drive off, looked into the rear view mirror and I saw Our Lady looking over my shoulder. It was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. (You can also see my pooch riding shotgun)
What a comforting thought we should all have to know that Our Lady is watching over our shoulder!
