Hypocrisy Watch: when W. was Prez the media called the Navy SEAL team that executed OBL Cheney's "personal assassination team." Now. . .well, not so much.

A Google Maps pic of bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. Geez, Google Maps can find anything, right?! ;-)
Another amateur night at the White House. Please, Lord. . .hurry the day when the adults will be in charge again!
Should Christians rejoice over the death of OBL? No.

Blessed JPII saved the Church from going the way of the Anglicans. . .suicidal death-spiral.
JPII reported to have lost his temper twice. Given the state of the Church when he was elected Pope in the late 70's, I'd say he deserved beatification for that miracle alone.
The Church's newest Blessed is placed in St Sebastian's Chapel, St Peter's Basilica. I'll visit the chapel when I return to Rome in Oct and pray for HancAquam readers.
A personal report on the Beatification from the Anchoress. Generally, I avoid large Vatican liturgies b/c the crowds wear me out. "Nuns With Sharp Elbows" are legendary during these events. Even a 300 lbs. Dominican friar in full habit is no obstacle to these fervent visitors!
Australian bishop sacked by BXVI. . .for the usual reasons: support for women's ordination, blahblahblah, etc., etc.
Conservatives in Canada win big. Of course, "conservative" in Canada means something like "Blue Dog Democrat" in the U.S.
Rednecks can fix anything!

What should or would stop concerned Catholics (and like minded christians) from creating a party that is avowedly (but not attached to a particular church or religious body) Christian. Do you think that is a good idea to explicitly create a party platform with Catholic ideas.
ReplyDeleteTechnically, nothing. It would be taxed like any other organization, but provided it was not officially sponsored and funded and housed by a Church, then it would be okay.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Father Phillip, I think we can rejoice in that justice has been done rather than his death, but keeping in mind that we ought to pray for the salvation of his soul.
