HeadlineBistro.com, a site run by the Knights of Columbus, is reporting that a series of videos has emerged on YouTube in which the Eucharist is desecrated in various ways:
YouTube has long been a destination for Catholics seeking video clips of Masses, apologetics lectures or devotions, but now Catholic outrage is growing as [...]

Utter stupidity…
An American soldier used a Quran, the Islamic holy book, for target practice in a predominantly Sunni area west of Baghdad, prompting an apology from the U.S. military, a spokesman said Sunday.

Iraqi police found the bullet-riddled Quran with graffiti inside the cover on a small-arms range near a police station in Radwaniyah, a former [...]

So, I took this morning off today, thinking it was a Holy Day of Obligation. (Apparently it’s not, anymore. We just do Ascension Sunday now…)
We get the kids ready, and Sophie is grumpy (she’s sick, making her more ornery than usual) and Ivan is shrieking non-stop. It turns out he’s screaming because he’s hungry. So [...]

Why do they go to “Sister” Joan Chittister? I am watching CNN right now and I just caught the end of a rant by the crazy old bat (paraphrasing):
“You people are all taking pictures! Look! What do you see? Who do you see surrounding the pope on the altar? MEN!”
The female anchor, who apparently found [...]

I’m getting weird characters in my blog posts that do not exist in the editor. I’ve checked the HTML, and there’s nothing there. I don’t get it.
If you’re smarter than me and have an idea on what might be causing this, drop me a line, willya?

It’s getting nice outside and I want to bust out my cameras. My digitial still camera is in tip-top shape, but my camcorder is still mysteriously broken. Whenever I try to use it, I get a flashing “REMOVE CASSETTE ERROR” that won’t allow me to do anything.
I not only happily purchased my Canon Elura 100 mini-dv [...]

I’m a fan of the Holy Father. He’s done some great things. But sometimes I get the feeling that while he knows what the right thing is to do, he’s very uncomfortable standing up for it. When I read this story, I felt very much confirmed in this suspicion:

Last Spring, I finally broke down and dropped the money on a Mini-DV camcorder. I did a bunch of research, and came to the conclusion that there was no better value for the money than a Canon Elura 100.
And the experience I had with this camera proved me right. It had beautiful picture, minimal motor [...]

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I’m not really into sports. I played basketball for a few years because my parents forced me. I was horrible. I never took an interest in baseball. Then, my freshman year of high school, I decided I wanted to go out for football. Football had always been [...]

I’m sitting in a taqueria in Gaithersburg, MD, waiting for the passenger window to get fixed on my van.
Why?
Because we made the long trip to Baltimore to go to an extraordinary rite baptism of the son of two of my friends from college. As an added bonus, another good friend of mine, now a transitory [...]
