First I would like to say that I had no idea so many people read my live journal. Interesting. Though I have accumulated thoughts pro-my-entry, this post is a different matter. If any of you have moved in remotely Catholic circles, you have heard about Jason Torres and his wife and unborn child. Jason went to the same high school I did. He and ( Read more... )

After reading some of the comments left about my Debt post, I thought it would be prudent to post a very brief overview of what I feel America's place to be on the world stage. Just as a good teacher has trained his tongue, as the old rabbi put it, to say "I don't know," and a good man of literature knows, in turn, his own linguistic limitations ( Read more... )

And it is not just because my favorite rock star is, but I personally believe as a Catholic that is it our duty as the richest nation in the world to help the poorest nations.

The song 40 by U2 starts out "I waited patiently for the Lord, He inclined and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit, Out of the miry clay." Its a very powerful song, stirring in its lyrics and brilliant in its simplicity. I talked to Jesus the other day. It was'nt a thing like I looked at the Monstrance and said some stuff and my head ( Read more... )

Terri Schiavo died during the night. The nation is in tears. How can we as a benevolent and free people let such an ungodly tragedy to happen? Alot of people here in FL and indeed all around the country are hurt and awakened to this sort of "humane killing." They will fly banners saying "Don't forget Terri." They will look on her as a crusader ( Read more... )
