Blessings of the Ordinariate

Tina Beatie does not like it.Therefore it follows as night follows day that The Ordinariate must be a wonderful blessing for us.

Christian Pride Month

During this month introduce Christianity into the classroom but do so in a subtle way.Talk about the faith of Pasteur in biology,of Ampere in physics, of Pascal in maths etc.And turn that month into a year.

On tolerance and free speech

I became a Catholic because people were prepared to criticize my pro-choice views and a whole array of other views.They did so with charity and clarity.I thank God for them.That was 25 years ago.If it happens now,I can report them.What a difference 25 years make.In our age of political correctness,we have to be careful what we say in public.There are exceptions to the rule-attacking the Catholic Church,for example.

If Sarah Palin is responsible for the unrest in the USA

Then are secularists responsible for the unrest in the UK?

A Dream

The Radio 4 broadcaster asked the Catholic bishop if the Chuch will change Her teaching on abortion homosexuality contraception and women priests.The bishop answered no no no and no.I then woke up.

Thank You Pope Benedict

Thank you for reminding us that there are many professional Catholics who make good money from the Church and who appear to have a certain lack of faith.I think of pro-abortion Catholic Professors in the Uk when I listen to your words.

What did the Pope mean?

He gives the example of a person in a state of moral free fall-a prostitute who takes no responsibility for his actions.He then realizes that he is spreading a deadly infection.He takes what he believes to be responsible precautions.This may be the beginning of his conversion.The important word is the word "may".Such a word does not belong in the language of Magisterial Teaching.
