The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.
Fortnight Catholics will Pray, Speak out and VOTE We will pray starting 6-21-12 through 7-4-12. The HHS Mandate is a direct attack on our first liberty and an assault on all people of faith. We MUST stand together to defeat it. Get involved today at www.catholicvote.org.
Join over 4,000 faithful from across the archdiocese for an afternoon of music and video tracing the history of religious liberty and celebrating our Catholic experience. The event will culminate in prayer and Benediction.
