Vatican: Pope won’t be intimidated into silence on life, homosexuality by ‘shouting’ media
The choice is between peace and a false peace, between the Gospel of Life and a non-Christian anti-gospel, between a respect for the sanctity of life and the culture of death. The Church values all persons, even those with no voice of their own.
Seminarian killed; dreamed of being ‘Father Daniel’
Very sad… rest in peace.
Key State Department official resigns in wake of Benghazi report
Underlings are being taken out while the chief culprits are still in safe denial. In any case, it is interesting that a few heads are rolling given that most news networks (except FOX) before the election treated the Benghazi incident as a non-story. A ridiculous film was blamed while the anniversary of 9-11 and insufficient security was brushed off. Mistakes were made and good people died. Where does the buck stop, today?

Robert Bork: From Atheism to Christian Faith
Rest in peace. He and his wife were wonderful Christians who loved their country. Judge Bork was wronged by leaders of this nation but he never gave up on America.
‘Ray of light’: Lab chimpanzees to retire to sanctuary
Chimpanzees are not people. Millions will be spent to retire research chimps. Given that they are animals and not human beings, whom we allow to be destroyed in the womb, would not the better answer be animal-euthanasia? Just throwing out a question… I really do not have a set opinion either way. But it does seem to make sense that animal testing should precede risking human lives.
ABC, CBS Ignore Historic Appointment of Only African American Senator
This is huge and yet there is hardly a whimper about it!

Blogger Priest 
I disagree but that’s okay. Confidence in one’s self is too often a perversion of confidence in God, at least in my case. Before I rebuke anyone and send children away or chop off the high priest’s ear or start saying that I would never deny Christ before the rooster crows three times, I would know that such acts are ultimately uncharitable and deny Christ to my neighbor in interest paid to myself.
Stop loving God and neighbor so much! The true meaning of our faith is to feel superior by pointing out our neighbor’s flaws and assuming too high a position at God’s table, where we should call all the shots. The world should be as we see fit, since being meek will completely forfeit the earth, One should always have a proud spirit, since a poverty in spirit would be a curse instead of a blessing.. I mean, really, how would a poor spirit leave any room for God?
