Fr. Weslin Arrested at Notre Dame

This brings tears to my eyes... If this doesn't cause you to recognize the Spiritual Battle that we are in and cause you to pick up your rosary to pray, I don't know what will...



h/t to WICatholic

It Makes SO MUCH Sense, it's Scarey....

h/t to WICatholic. I know I have had LOTS of other stuff going on in my home life, and I've neglected my blog a bit... But this gets me so upset and I think it's so important! I've mentioned before in my blog wondering if anyone else was noticing that Obama seems to have dug up EVERY liberal -small "c"atholic he could find to fill his cabinet?! It's ridiculous! This news update from RealCatholicTV explains a lot. And I hadn't heard of this news channel before, but I liked what I saw, so be sure to check them out!

What Makes This Guy SO Angry?

The latest email alert from Catholic League president Bill Donohue is about a Minnesota Professor responding to Bill Donohue's remarks to a Florida college student taking a consecrated host from a campus Mass in "protest" to student fees for religious services. The host was returned.

However, on his Minnesota campus Blog, Prof. Paul Myers lashes out, not only at Bill Donohue but all Catholics that were offended by this act of sacrilege, and threatens to carry it even further. He "Pledges" to desecrate the Eucharist, encouraging his readers to participate by obtaining a consecrated host and sending it to him, so that he may complete his plan. I really have to wonder about some people that seem to take such pleasure in offending others. What makes him so angry, at what seems specifically, the Catholic Church?... I mean, we are all entitled to our opinions and feelings, but what makes this guy so upset by what happened with a student in Florida, that he feels so compelled to "retaliate" in Minnesota, and ENCOURAGE his readers to help? Me thinks that perhaps he's a former Catholic?... I honestly don't know... But once again, gosh, it seems like it's just so "okay" to offend millions of Catholics by desecrating or encouraging to desecrate the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus. I don't imagine that this story will make national head lines anytime soon... Father, forgive them, they know not what they do....

They Thought THIS was NON-Offensive??!!

The AFA recently brought to my attention, the apparently "latest" cartoon published by the Cavalier Daily Newspaper, associated with, though technically not "owned by" the University of Virginia. The paper is staffed by UVA journalism students. The cartoon has since been removed from the papers website, but AFA, in their Action Alert to my inbox on March 17, described the following:

"Last week, the University of Virginia's
student paper, The Cavalier Daily, ran a cartoon depicting a naked man smoking a
cigarette in bed. Standing beside the bed, a woman in her underwear buttons up
her shirt and asks, "Come on God, be honest - Did you really get a vasectomy? I
can't let Joseph find out about this." The man replies, "Well, Mary, you're
f***ed.""

In response, to what I'd like to hope was an OVERWHELMING outcry from Christians and conservatives, Cavalier Daily published the following: (emphasis mine)

"Cavalier Daily statement regarding recent
comics
The Cavalier Daily sincerely regrets any offense readers may have
taken to two recent comics in the strip TCB published March 13 and 14. The content of the
Comics page reflects neither the views of the Managing Board nor of The Cavalier
Daily as an institution. When the comics were considered for publication, they
were deemed to have met The Cavalier Daily's censorship criteria, which can be found at this address. It is never the intention of The
Cavalier Daily to offend, and we regret having done
so.

UPDATE (3/15/08): In light of recent and
previous concerns, The Cavalier Daily will be reviewing its comics policy."

Now this isn't the first time that Cavalier Daily has done this sort of thing... And as for their "regret", come on! Did they SERIOUSLY think that NO ONE would be offended by this garbage before they published them??!! Father, forgive them, they can not POSSIBLY KNOW what they do.... And just in time for Holy Week...

Thanks to WICatholic's heads-up for telling me that The Catholic League gave the following information to contact Cavalier Daily directly with your comments and concerns:
